On August 27, HTC officially announced the Desire 510, a mid-range handset that still manages to offer up plenty of incentives for anyone looking to get their hands on a worthy, and yet still inexpensive device.

Sprint has officially announced that the Now Network will be launching the Desire 510 beginning Friday, September 19, both online and in-store. The handset will be offered up for $0 if you opt-in for a new, two-year agreement with the network. Or, if you prefer to skip the contract, the device will cost you $199. Sprint’s Easy Pay option is also available, which means a new subscriber can pay $0 down (plus tax), and then just over $8 per month for 24 months.

The Desire 510 features:

4.5-inch display with a resolution of 854 x 480

Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, clocked at 1.2GHz

5-megapixel camera; 1.3MP front-facing camera

8GB of built-in storage; microSD card slot

1GB of RAM

2100mAh battery

4G LTE, Spark technology

HTC Sense, BlinkFeed

Android 4.4 KitKat

The Desire 510 is also launching for Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, on September 22 and September 23, respectively. They’ll both be going for $99.99.
