HTC is doing all it takes to at least stay afloat in the smartphone business, if not boast a dominating presence in the market. And a way the company has sought out to keep doing that exactly is by bombarding the smartphone market with a host of mid-range smartphones that will make sure the company still manages to make something out of that region.

Now, as expected, a new device from HTC has been leaked on the web, dubbed HTC Desire 516. Apparently, the new device is said to come sporting a quad core CPU and a 5-inch display.
