HTC Announces First 64-bit Android Smartphone

We always think that the high-end smartphones are released with the latest features, but this time HTC is going to change the game. HTC announced the first 64-bit Android smartphone and surprisingly it will be a mid-range smartphone. The Desire 510 is that first 64-bit smartphone which will be accompanied by Snapdragon 410. Snapdragon 410 has four Cortex A53 CPU cores running at 1.2 GHz, along with an Andreno 306 GPU. This combination of CPU and GPU should make for a quite fast SoC compared to Snapdragon 400.

According to AnandTech, this phone ships with the Android 4.4 and it's likely that it is running in AArch32 mode only. AArch64 mode will be coming soon with Android L. Android L is expected to be released in this November or December. HTC should launch the device quickly as this is going to impress the people as the first 64-bit Android Smartphone. As a mid range smartphone, this device will give a good competition to Moto G and Lumia 530.
