The glossy plastic rear is a fingerprint magnet
Which is especially noticeable on the darker models. The lack of a removable battery is disappointing

It's hard to know just how good the performance of the Desire 816 will be without trying it with HTC's as-yet-unannounced Sense 6, but we're liking everything so far. The best news is that the build quality doesn't feel cheap despite the plastic back, an...

Neat Android customisation, Impressive audio output, Great camera, Long battery life.
Barely fits the pocket, Construction could have been better
The HTC Desire 816 is priced at Rs 24,200. In this segment, the 816 competes with the Nexus 5 and Lumia 925. The phone's camera and multimedia performance are quite good. The display isn't great, but you get what you pay for. HTC is known for well built ...
