Captured in the wild only today, HTC has just made the Desire 200 official, releasing it on their website.
It’s a very low end device but still includes Beats Audio, the Android version is hidden and is only listed as Android with HTC Sense. No LTE is on-board, only 2G/3G radios are included however with a 1230mAh battery you probably wouldn’t want to use 4G much anyway.

No front facing camera has been included with the Desire 200, but with the size of the phone HTC may have been pushing to include things such as this or it may be a matter of them aiming for a set price point.
With the Desire 200 and 600 now official the hope that the Desire brand will return to the premium days of the original Desire or even the Desire HD are apparently over. Pricing and availability have not been made available at this time but we’ll update as soon as we hear anything back.
