HTC Desire 601 headed to Virgin Mobile according to leak

HTC's new mid-range handset, the Desire 601, is ready to be sold on Virgin Mobile in the U.S. according to a new leaked image. The handset, which we didn't necessarily expect to hit the states, packs a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4.5-inch qHD LCD and the latest in Sense 5 features along with Android 4.2.

The Image (seen after the break) from @evleaks shows a handset that looks darn near identical to an international version of the handset we saw back in September, although we're not sure at this point which color the back plate on this model is. We know that white, red and black models exist, but there's no indication which ones will hit Virgin.
