| Updated: Thursday, June 26, 2014, 13:57 [IST]

HTC's apparent climb to the top of the smartphone chain has been filled with a lot of ups and downs. With big names such as Samsung, Apple and Sony claiming the most market share, it has been quite tough for companies such as HTC to make their presence felt.

HTC recently launched the Desire 816 into the the Indian market to test out the kind oif waters the company was treading into. Later, rumors started arriving related to the release of a certain HTC Desire 516. And now, falling true to th rumors, the company has indeed pushed out the Desire 516 handset for the native market.

Going through the specs of it once more, HTC Desire 816, currently listed online at a price tag of Rs 13,302, comes with a 5-inch qHD display with a resolution of 960 x 540-pixels.

It features a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, coupled with 1GB of RAM and either 4GB of internal memory, which can be later expanded via a microSD card slot. On the camera front, there's a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing shooter.

The handset runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The connectivity options on the phone included are 3G, Wi-Fi, Dual-SIM, Bluetooth, GPS, amongst others.

But while the numbers sound good to the ears, it is hardly expected that the device will be one of its kind in the native market. In fact, it will face a lot of competition from others in the same bracket. But which exactly are the ones?

We take a closer look at the top 10 rivals for the HTC Desire 516.
