Multimedia device with strengths and weaknesses

HTC Desire 816 smartphone (13 megapixel camera, 12.7 cm (5.5 inch) touchscreen, 1.6GHz, quad-core processor, 8GB memory, Android 4.4) Glossy blue (Wireless Phone)

Customer Review

I have the HTC Desire 816 not purchased on Amazon because it was relatively late time available here. However, I would still like to submit a review for this phone since so far one does not exist ...

Before deciding on a device the size of 5.5 inches you should consider what expectations they are put in a smartphone.

The main criteria when buying a smartphone, the battery performance and processing for me. Previously I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the LG G PRO, the HTC ONE M7, the Xperia Z1, the Blackberry Q10, Samsung Galaxy S4, the LG Optimus 4X HD, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and the Huawei Ascend P6 my can call their own.

Processing:
Who here because of the "polycarbonate housing" poor processing is expected deviated. The Desire 816 makes a very solid and clean processed Eindurck. It might not be the most noble of smartphone, but that it will also be not at all. The "polycarbonate housing" brings some advantages with comparison to a glass or aluminum housing. On the one hand it is not so warm and secondly, it is significantly less sensitive to small scratches and fingerprints.

Display:
Even if the display shows "only" a HD resolution offers not bother me in the least. It is all presented clear, high-contrast and clear - it may be that one individual at genaurem look pixel "means" to perceive - I notice it anyway nothing. Advantages of HD resolution are especially low power consumption when compared to a Full HD display.

Speaker:
The HTC Boom sound with its Forne placed stereo speakers continues to be a unique feature compared to other devices. When watching movies and listening to music played by the Smartphone shows its strengths. The speakers offer a very clear sound and do not tend to override. (Except for HTC ONE M7 far the best speakers I know in a smartphone.)

Power:
The built quad core chipset is certainly not the fastest - for all normal applications and everyday Bedinung he is but more than adequate. There occur no stuttering or any other performance issues. Only "high-end games" with high system requirements bring the smartphone to its limits. Real Racing 3 is for example not playable with the highest settings. (Regulates one but this is down an unrestricted play possible.)

Camera:
The camera I can not say too much because I mainly to take pictures of these texts use or for a few occasional photos at events. In daylight, the images are very good - strong verauscht in low lighting but, as with most other smartphones and in my opinion quite useless. I would compare the camera with, the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Abemessungen:
Due to its size face certainly many potentiele buyers the question whether it still fits in your pocket. Since I have been obsessed with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, this smartphone is not the greatest. Even the 6.3 mega fit even just in your pocket. The HTC Desire 816 of transport in your pocket is not a problem. Only after prolonged sitting or faster running I feel the size as something unpleasant.

Battery:
The battery life is worse than my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with yet sufficient and compared to competitors very well. After a day of 7-23 clock I have a residual charge of approximately 20%. In grade 2, it was nevertheless still 30%.
All in all, the battery life but adequate for my very active usage. There is nothing to complain about here.

Telephony / reception:
The reception performance is good - not the best (compared to the BlackBerry Q10) but absolutely on sufficient and level of competitors. During a telephone conversation the interlocutors is clear and there is no noise.

Conclusion:

A star deduction is available for the permanently installed battery and 8GB internal memory.

Since this is a multimedia device, one should previously be aware of the dimensions in the clear and can not complain about this after the fact.
The biggest question I ask myself, "Why do you sell a device with such facilities only with 8GB Memory". Of these 8GB is about 5GB free. However, a game with high system requirements has been up to 2.5GB and outsource to the SD card is not possible with all apps.

However, I can advise you to buy this smartphone. To watch videos, surfing, listening to music and also for snapshots, it is ideal.

For questions about smartphone or criticism to my review I would appreciate comments. Also, I hope I could you facilitate the purchase decision.
