HTC Desire X, a mid-range Android-based smartphone from the Taiwanese mobile phone maker, is expected to become available for purchase in Australia soon, on the Optus’ network.

The wireless carrier has already confirmed that, announcing an exclusivity on the device, and price tags ranging from $0 on Optus’ $35 plan, to $299 on Optus Prepaid (though it might be locked on the carrier’s network, Ausdroid notes).

The phone comes with a 4-inch Super LCD 800×480 Display, a 1GHz Dual-Core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 768MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory (a microSD card slot should allow for storage expansion).

Moreover, the new device sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording, as well as Beats Audio speakers and a 1650mAh battery. HTC Desire X runs under Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, with HTC’s Sense UI 4.0 loaded on top.
