HTC Desire 19S Goes Official With Triple Rear Cameras & Helio P22 SoC

HTC has been pretty quiet in the smartphone industry with very few new offerings. Now, the brand has introduced the HTC Desire 19s as the direct successor to the Desire 12s launched last year. Its front is covered with a 6.2-inch display with a water-drop notch to house a selfie camera. At the back, it has a triple camera cluster with a 13MP main sensor and a fingerprint reader for biometric security. In terms of design, its rear panel is divided into two parts, one with a glossy glass design and the other featuring a textured finish.
