We’ll have to wait a while longer for the next HTC flagship, but the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer did take the wraps off a new budget device at CES this year. The HTC Desire 320 replaces the year-old 310 and offers a slight spec bump over its predecessor.

This chunky, entry-level Android smartphone sports a 4.5-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. It has the same quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor as the 310. There’s also a 5-megapixel camera, a simple 0.3-megapixel selfie camera, and 1GB of RAM. HTC has boosted the internal storage from 4GB up to 8GB and there’s room for a microSD card expansion (up to 32GB).

It runs Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC’s Sense UI on top. You’ll also find an FM radio built-in to the 320, and it has a decent-sized 2,100mAh battery. Color choices are limited to vanilla white and dark gray. That’s about all there is — sadly it doesn’t support 4G.

Precise release dates, details, and prices were not revealed, but it’s definitely coming to the U.K. and Germany and it’s sure to be cheap.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
