HTC has announced a new edition to their Desire line of smartphones at consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin, Germany, which opens to the public Friday.

The Desire X sports a 4-inch Super LCD WVGA 800x400 screen, boasts a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 768MB of RAM, a 5 MP camera and runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The HTC Desire also runs HTC Connect, the company's media streaming system, that can connect the device remotely to compatible speakers over wi-fi.

The phone will be available in "selected markets" across Europe, Middle East, Africa and North America in September. HTC has not confirmed any prices but the phone's relatively low specs should put it on the more affordable end of the smartphone spectrum.
