HTC Desire 816 is an incredible Android phone released in 2014, which counts with a very powerful Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1.6 gigahertz, a 5.5-inches touch-screen, and two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's only the shortest summary in the world.
HTC decided to equip this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 chip, holding an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1600 megahertz and a huge 1,5 GB RAM memory. To help with graphic rendering, it also uses a 450 MHz Adreno 305 graphics processing unit. This device comes with an 8 GB interesting internal storage memory and an SD memory slot, enough to store hundreds of apps and games without any trouble.
HTC sells this phone in a nice range of color options like black, gray, pink, yellow, green, blue, red and white. HTC has made a very nice job making this cellphone weight only 5.82 oz. This device is quite a compact cellphone, given that it presents a 5.5" screen and it is just 6.17 inches long and 3.1 inches wide. This cellphone is slim and stilized, being just 0.31" thick.
HTC designed this phone with a good looking 5.5 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, making everything look very good. This screen uses S-LCD 2 capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
The HTC Desire 816 provides wifi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a lower speed 4G network and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The HTC Desire 816 works with a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.
The HTC Desire 816 has two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. It can also film videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD). To complete the camera, it also features many great features like auto-focus, flash, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.
The HTC Desire 816 also includes many great characteristics like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth, GPS Geolocation and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The HTC Desire 816 features a 2600 mAh great Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides the HTC Desire 816 a great battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the HTC Desire 816's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to lose capacity, although with such a great capacity you will probably buy a new device before that happens.
This cellphone is not a very good choice considering it is offerred for 259 dollars, and many similar devices are being sold much cheaper than that. This cellphone is a very good choice for you it doesn't matter whether you will use this phone to play games, need this phone for work, want a social device or want this phone to take lots of photographs.
