The 526 is the cheaper of the two phones, with a 4.7-inch 960x540 screen and an 8-megapixel camera (according to Verizon's short press release). HTC's website has rather more information, revealing a
Snapdragon 210 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of storage plus a MicroSD card slot, a rather diminutive 2000mAh battery, and a 2MP front-facing camera. The black-on-black styling and curvy body remind me of the original HTC One S, and the dual front-facing speakers are a nice addition at this price point. Software is
Android 5.1 plus Sense 7, and the price will be $120 off-contract. Not bad.
