Like HTC's Desire 610, the Desire 816 sits awkwardly between other smartphones in terms of price, with rivals including the OnePlus One, Nokia Lumia 1320 and Nexus 5 among others. If you're won over by the big screen, you won't be disappointed if you can...
Abstract: It's been a little quiet from our side when it comes to devices, I know. So just this past week HTC MEA thought it was time to end that drought. Poof! two devices from HTC were on their way to us. The first one has been in the market for a while and the o...
Decentquality display, Good battery life, System runs smoothly, Good photo and video quality, Great for multimedia
"Volume Up" button too close to "On/Off" button, we often pressed the wrong one accidentally
The HTC Desire 816 may not be a headline-grabbing phablet but it's a very good handset that's a well-rounded device with no major flaws. In fact, we'd probably even recommend it over the One Max, in spite of the latter's higher-end credentials. The Desire...
Abstract: Earlier this year, at MWC, HTC made a fairly queit announcement about two new devices that they were launching. They were the HTC Desire 816 and the HTC Desire 610.Here we are taking a look at the Desire 816, this new smartphone offers a larger screen, th...
I'm won over by the HTC Desire 816. There is plenty of call for mid-priced, large-screened handsets, and I'm a fan of the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Mega and Huawei Ascend P7, both of which are a fair bit more expensive than the Desire 816. If you are l...

Solid build quality, Great speakers, It's massive
Takes grainy pictures, Bloatware, Lacks some features
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....

Great sounding speakers, Decent 720p HD screen, Smooth overall performance
Buttons a stretch to reach, Camera slow to focus in low-light, Lacks a standout feature
The HTC Desire 816 is big phone that's offers some of the best qualities of the One M8 in a cheaper but still attractive plastic body. It lacks a standout feature, but it's a good phone that won't let you down.Next, try our round-up of the best mobile pho...
Feels nice and premium, Decent camera, Twin front, facing speakers
Gloss means fingerprints on non, white versions, Sealed back means no battery access
After getting our eyes up close to the HTC Desire 816, we couldn't wait to go one step further and actually touch the damn thing. So that's exactly what we did, and there was nothing you could have done to stop us. In case you missed it, HTC announced its...
