New reports suggest HTC's much anticipated flagship dubbed HTC Desire 10 might get a September release date.

Recently, popular leakster Evan Blass noted in a post on Twitter that HTC is planning to release the Desire 10 in Q3 this year. There are chances that the smartphone could be unveiled at IFA 2016 in Berlin, which begins on September 2, reported Android Geeks.

Blass also posted a small image of the Desire 10 handset's alleged camera module. While, the picture reveals almost nothing about the phone's design, it shows the camera setup including a dual LED flash and laser autofocus. A protruding round metal ring can be seen around the camera.

According to GSMArena, the HTC Desire 10 is expected to come as a budget version of the HTC 10. It can be observed in the leaked image reported by the publication that the handset will come with antenna strips on the top and bottom, which seems to be the company's new "signature" touch on high-end devices. The large camera lens can be seen placed in the middle, towards the top edge.

The camera has a dual-tone ELD flash and a laser autofocus module rotated 90 degrees. The back of the smartphone will be made out of polycarbonate, while the sides and the buttons appear to have a metallic finish.

Among other specs, the HTC Desire 10 is rumored to feature a full high-definition (HD) 5.5-inch display, a Snapdragon-600 series processor and 2 or 3 GB of random access memory (RAM), reported Pocket Lint.

As far as the price is concerned, the HTC Desire 10 is expected to cost at around $170 as all HTC Desire handsets are normally priced below $200.

We would advise our readers to take the information with a grain of salt as nothing yet about the HTC Desire 10 release date, specs and price has been announced by the maker.
