HTC Desire 816G Review

  • Good
  • HTC Sense 6 is a great skin
  • Good design
  • Bad
  • Below average camera performance
  • Battery life is average
  • Expensive

In what could be considered a comeback of sorts, thanks to good sales of the Desire 816 and the One (M8), HTC is following Samsung's footsteps by announcing new phones left, right and centre. Recently, the company announced the HTC Desire 816G, which is supposedly a 3G-only variant of the Desire 816 with watered-down specifications. We loved the Desire 816 for its great 13-megapixel camera and its media playback capabilities. Let's hope that the Taiwanese smartphone company can recreate the same magic with the new Desire 816G.

HTC Desire 816G Summary

HTC tried to capitalise on the success of the HTC Desire 816 by creating a low-cost variant of the phone in the form of the HTC Desire 816G. However, it only managed to botch up the effort by creating a product we weren’t ultimately too enthusiastic about. The phone doesn’t have the same stellar camera nor the reliable performance we experienced in its elder brother.
