HTC is taking a different approach to this year's mid-range Desire phones. They're decidedly less modest.

With the new Desire 530, 630, and 825 phones unveiled at Mobile World Congress, HTC is deploying what it calls a micro splash design. We call the look sparkly. HTC says the look comes from the use of spray nozzles using different settings of pressure and paint viscosity. It's the design @evleaks leaked earlier today.

The provided press image was spot on. All three of these devices are polycarbonate with rear cameras in the upper corner, zigzagging speaker grills, and holes in the back for a phone lanyard. And each one is particularly sparkly.

The Desire 530 comes with a Snapdragon 210, while the two higher models sport the 400. The low-end model has 1.5GB of RAM versus 2GB on the other two. It also has an 8MP rear shooter compared to the 13MP. All three have a 5MP front-facing camera and 16GB of internal memory supplemented by a microSD card slot.

The 530 and 630 have 5.0 inch screens, while the 825 is a larger device with a 5.5-inch display. All have the same 720p screen resolution, and all three will show you HTC Sense running atop Android 6.0. The 630 and 825 have BoomSound and Hi-Res earphones.

The phones will begin hitting retailers and HTC.com starting next month. Prices and availability remain to be seen.
