The HTC Re is a small
Simple point-and-shoot video camera that's ready to shoot when you pick it up. It's waterproof to 1 meter without a housing
And its built-in wireless and the Re app let you see what you're shooting as well as view and download what

The editors didn't like
Buggy connection software
Mediocre picture quality
I would prefer a metal tripod connector. There are few accessories and mounts available
Poor video quality. Not as waterproof as similarly priced competitor
No 60-fps vide
Slow shutter causes blurry photo
Expensive for features
There is noticeable shutter lag. Its video and photo quality aren't significantly better than a smartphone and audio quality is poor. Its battery isn't user replaceable or removable. Its shape is great for holding
But the body is a bit slippery
Image quality in lowlight is subpar
Video recording quality lacks sharpness
Forget about using it in lowlight or for sports (shutter speeds too slow by default

Abstract: Point-and-shoot cameras teeter on the edge of extinction, rendered obsolete by our smartphones. But shooting with iPhones or juggling our Android handsets aren't always the best or most comfortable; just the most convenient. What's the solution? HTC think...
The HTC Re is a device I want to like. I want to laud innovation, and this little camera is certainly that. But can HTC start a new product category? It's too expensive - I get that it needs to be to reach the premium performance level, but it's not even...

it is a great gadget when you consider that it is a lot smaller and lighter than a point and shoot camera, or sometimes you don't your phone being passed around, or you want to take some photos on the beach or pool.Below are some photos - click through i...
Handling, Compactness, White balance management, WiFi, Smoothrunning app
No screen display, No lens or mechanical stabilisation, Only captures video in Full HD with 30 fps, Images lack sharpness, Poor sound reproduction
The HTC Re achieves its aims, but its lack of technical features (no 4K, Full HD 60 fps, or integrated screen) prevents it from competing with the rest, such as the Kodak PixPro SP1, for example. That said, the camera's primary selling points are its comp...
To begin with I was a little confused as to where this would “fit” in my life but it's definitely an action / sports camera in my book. It'll also work for those moments when you'd perhaps like to take a small Director role in your own footage, filming a...

Abstract: Like MP3 players, digital cameras have been all but obliterated by smartphones which assimilated their features into a single monolithic slab. It's no bad thing: our pockets are less cluttered, our lives simpler because we only have to charge one devic...
Funky but thoughtful design, Wide-angle lens, Instantly ready to use, Shoots decent photos
Additional features, settings buried in app, Video quality could be better, Short battery life, Overpriced
Despite our initial qualms, the Re turned out to be fun to use, and if you don't expect too much out of it (like moviemaking chops), it does the job. Photo quality is good, and video is OK, but it stands out from the crowd with its unique and effective d...

The HTC Re's features might not be as unusual as its design, but it's still a solid little camera that's easier and faster to shoot with than your average smartphone....
Battery life Open Gallery The battery life itself is said to last about 1000 pictures (or about 2 hours in terms of video life) which is pretty remarkable for a tool of this size. HTC claims it'll charge from dead to full in a matter of two hour...
