excellent audio, good display, runs modern games, good price, OK battery and Extreme Power Saving, dual SIM and microSD device, very good camera (back and front), nice UI, And the
long battery charging, no Gorilla Glass, Internal storage fills up fast, flimsy lid, no EQ, headphones not comfy, no gestures
Abstract: "The HTC Desire 816's 13-meg camera is pretty good, especially in good ambient light"It's more accomplished sibling, the HTC One (M8) (review) may have managed to grab all the limelight, but the brand's newest offering in the mid-range phablet space is al...
High-quality workmanship, Very light and flat, Good display, Wireless module supports LTE, MicroSD cards up to 128 GB supported, High-resolution cameras, Long battery life, High performance, fluid interface, Latest Android (V 4.4.2), Relatively cheap
Only 4.6 GB free, Battery can not be removed, Camera recordings are of average quality
If you are looking for a cheap and powerful smartphone, the HTC Desire 816 is a good pick. The street price of 340 Euros (~$463) is not cheap, but for this price, the 5.5-inch smartphone can offer good hardware which can compete with the performance of to...

Great value for such large screen, Loud, clear, frontfiring speakers, Outstanding battery life, Microsd card slot for expandable storage
Screen is only 720P, not 1080P, Backplate is a slippery fingerprint magnet, Squeaks when you hold it, No NFC
Like we said before, the HTC Desire 816 isn't going to win any performance contests. What it is going to do is turn heads. It's big, it's beautiful, and it performs very well, despite having been pigeon-holed as a “mid-tier” device. The speaker grills loo...
Very large display, Snappy UI performance, Stylish Sense 6.0 interface, Frontfacing stereo speakers, Camera takes good photos, Good value for money, Above average battery life
Heavy video games may be choppy, A bit large given the screen size, Earpiece quality could have been better, Only 4.2GB of useravailable builtin storage makes using a microSD card mandatory
Well, what do you know: the HTC Desire 816 is an admirable mid-range smartphone, especially knowing that it can be bought for under $400 in markets where it is available. We don't find anything wrong with it given its price range, so guys, if you're on...
HTC's mid-range flagship packs a gigantic screen into a more affordable handsetIf HTC is to stage a financial recovery, it'll need more than just a compelling high-end smartphone. So as the company seeks to navigate back into the black for more than a qua...
The HTC Desire 816's plastic body is well built. The brilliant 5.5-inch HD display has excellent viewing angles, and the quad-core processor runs smoothly, with hardly any lag
The glossy plastic rear is a fingerprint magnet, which is especially noticeable on the darker models. The lack of a removable battery is disappointing, given its relatively small capacity
The HTC Desire 816's combination of solid design and quality performance strikes all the right chords to make it a compelling phone for its price....
Abstract: Editor's note: Our review unit is from China, and while it has Sense 5.5, it will be updated to Sense 6 'soon'. All Desire 816's purchased outside of China will have Sense 6 out of the box]Typically when we think of midrange devices one of the first wor...

Great price point, 4G LTE connectivity, Big, bright 5.5 inch screen
Phone performance suffers under load, Camera is a little lackluster, Build quality isn't as good as we expect from HTC
What's interesting is how quickly I adjusted to handling the Desire 816′s 5.5 inch screen. Once you dissuade yourself of any notion of single-handed control, the phone feels good in the hand and it's comfortable in everyday use.Packing HTC's latest and gr...
The HTC Desire 816 should be appreciated for what it's got rather than what it lacks at this price.There is still plenty of bang for your buck and all of the multimedia and connectivity features that will satisfy most users.At the affordable price of $399...
