CES 2015 is shaping up to be an interesting event, with Asus, LG, and Sony all teasing devices for a January unveiling. HTC is now also confirmed to be making an appearance at the show, where it will be launching the latest smartphone in its Desire range, according to a teaser poster listed on the company’s Weibo account.

HTC will be holding its launch event between 5:00pm and 7:00pm on the 5th of January (local US time), but the poster gives little else away. It is unclear if the new Desire smartphone will feature specifications rumored for HTC’s anticipated Hima flagship. @Upleaks speculates that the handset, nicknamed the HTCA52, will be marketed as a “selfie phone” and will come with a 13 megapixel front facing camera in a 16GB model and a 4 Ultrapixel front camera will be available with a 32GB of memory variant. This matches the camera specifications recently rumored regarding the Hima.

A dual SIM option is also rumored for selected regions, but availability could be strictly limited to the Asian market, as the Chinese teaser poster heavily implies. Then again, HTCmay have something different planned altogether.

Be sure to tune in on the 5th, or early in the morning on the 6th in Europe, when we will be covering HTC’s CES announcement.
