Hi guys,
Too many talks for HTC latest beast – the Desire 816. As I am using it since 15 days it’s really fantabulous experience for me till now. Few things I would like to share of this Giant.
1. Good build it’s glossy finish plastic on rear but still looks premium.
2. The 2600 mAh li poly battery is enough. As Battery backup is far better than so called octacore & quad core processors who are playing gimmick by providing 3k mah+, it gives you full day on single charge & can give you 5 hours of non-stop 3g net, or gaming & playing FHD videos.
3 Screen resolution is perfect & crisp as it can play FHD videos flawlessly.
4. Both the front & rear camera will give you full satisfaction in terms of selfies, video calling & capturing memories ..as it can record FHD videos too.
5. HTC sense 6.0, & kit Kat 4.4.2, out of the box is totally Paisa vasool.
6 Sound quality is far far better from any of it’s class dual boom speaker amp; while playing with earphone on will take you to fly high on waves.
7. In this price segment having it feels like having something much better than MMX lava xolo, you should not compare these cheaps with the brand like HTC …
I wasted almost 32k with MMX & IBERRY NUCLEA N2 & still paying my affection towards this Cheap choicing these are nothing but re-branded cheap products.
Guys plz be sincere before buying nothing from these so called gimmick playing REBRANDED cheap phones.
Well I am not here to promote anything it’s what I experienced which I shared with you all choose wisely save money.
🙂

WOW!! we got winner here.. HTC Desire 816 very good specs for the price.. Key selling points: 5.5 inch LCD2 display, dual streo front speakers (one style), dual sim, 1.5 GB ram, cool design.. Great buy for around 22K Well done htc..
good move by by htc unlike Samsung.
Sure. But those who want more storage, NFC and other stuff that Moto G doesn’t have I think 816 is a better device. Yes, Moto X is better than that though.
The ultimate winners are the Indian Brand who forced all Big Poisa Loot Brands to reduce their price & make budget phones (Still Samsung is not in this list) ..& we all Middle Class people going to facilitate in buying mobile
U r ryt…Xolo q1010i n lava Iris 504q+ r best
dear gogi bro plz mention The HTC Desire 816 operating system.
is it runs on KITKAT out of the box
Will wait for one Plus One’s debut phone of the year “Never Settle” smartphone,Cause as of right now it literally leaves the world behindt!!! 😀
Not coming to India as of now
That won’t be a problem my brother in the US will ship it down for me!! 😀
Get 1 for me as well
Good pricing. That’s surprising from HTC. Here’s To Change! 😀
Frankly, these are pretty decent prices. They will drop by about 2k over 2-3 months. Not bad at all by HTC. Glad to see them come back into the picture in India. Samsung are now officially on their way out after their latest Adonis Prime 2 disaster(which will probably continue with the Note IV) Nice to see LG, Sony, and now HTC ready and willing to edge them out permanently. HTC should launch a 6 inch cutting edge Note device themselves at 55 k(with a stylus as well) and maybe a HD resolution mid-range version of the same at 30 k to round out a very good batch of products.
Desire 816 ,,,single or dual sim?
Dual nano sim (optional)
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_816-6073.php
i think so 4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2600 – EMEA version
LTE 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 – Asia version
also nfc but mentioned as optional
bro nfc available in htc desire 816 ?????
a very good work by htc.htc launched a budget varient htc 210 with gud specification
816 is amazing @that price from a HTC… can’t be ignored.. good move from HTC…gogi sir.. hope u review it soon please.. exclusively 816…please.. waiting….
gogi sir, Some are saying Desire 816 has 4G ?. pls conform it as soon as possible.
thank you.
overpriced! something wrong with htc when it comes to pricing!:-|
Perfect Pricing!!! Icing on d cake if it has 4g
Bro if you’re gonna compare this with MMX, Lava, etc. then please don’t even try.
Bro i want to compare this with Moto X and Moto G
Moto G has some features missed out. But I think Moto X can compete and it actually is a better device if 16 GB of non expandable storage is not a problem.
if it was 21K then it would have been a VFM and a steal at that price. it would have been a perfect price for this handset.
No worries it will come down in 3-4 months to that level.
There are words for that “Build quality” & “Reliability”,If you are onto these you have to pay the price else cut the noise & go find some other cheapskate alternatives!
You see this ain’t your local daily driver,This is premium class stuff! 🙂
Well its too pricy…cuz moto g is all winner right now in terms of hardware and durability and premium class looks…Indian market will not appreciate much..moto g u r the king …..
its still a 2-3K higher. if we look at few other alternatives then Like
Moto X – with features like active display, Moto Assist and Touchless control. X8 computing system
And if you look at the Moto G they have the same processor so for 4G i don’t think giving and extra 10K is worth it. (Yes you do have 2 additional things like SD card option and better camera but still 10K is still a lot).
