  • 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....

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  HTC has announced the Desire 816 at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona but while we weren't allowed to turn the device on, we did get our hands on it. The design is great, following a very similar style to the award-winning HTC One, but softened and...

  • Abstract:  THE DESIRE 816 is one of HTCs latest phablets. Its huge display isn't as large as the giant 6.3in Samsung Galaxy Mega, but at SIM-free, it is much cheaper, so it's a great budget option if you want a phone with an oversized screen. The bezels around the s...

  • Abstract:  While there's lots of action in the high-rent district of phablet town, HTC is looking to sneak in and grab a slice of the mid-priced pie. But is a device that borrows the best from smartphone and tablet something that should be compromised on? Read on, a...

  • Nice big screen, Slick Android UI, Loud front-facing speakers, Attractive design
  • Cameras can be sluggish, Poor HDR images, Not as good a value as certain other devices, namely the OnePlus One
  • HTC's Desire 816 is almost a perfect mid-range LTE phablet with good looks, a nice display and slick general performance, only to be let down by its erratically sluggish cameras....
