Getting down with your big selfieThe Desire Eye isn't getting a big marketing push from HTC or AT&T right now, but I can imagine how it would look: 30 seconds of people taking selfies. Teenage girls, grandpa, a couple at a nice dinner, a race car driver...
The Desire EYE has quite a bit going for it. If you are a selfie machine, then the 13MP front-facing camera should treat you very well. Your Snapchat followers will love you. In addition, for the $150 on-contract price, you are getting a great spec lis...

The HTC Desire Eye is one of the rare Android smartphone gems of the year. It's beautifully constructed for a plastic phone, has a large high-res screen and two 13-megapixel cameras with dual-LED flashes. While its “Desire” branding indicates this is a “m...
The HTC Desire Eye is a different approach to a smartphone, with particular focus on the camera. Unfortunately, it seems as though they tried to squeeze too much into one package if you ask me. At the end of the day, it seems to me that the HTC Desire Eye...

13MP dual LED cameras are a step up, BoomSound speakers, Powerful processor, Solid endurance
Cameras were good, but not great, Currently exclusive to AT&T, Only available in 16GB variant
Typically, when we review a phone out here in the Pocketnow Utah offices, we carry our daily driver alongside the review device. This time, the review device was good enough, fast enough, and all around comfortable enough to replace our daily driver. That...

HTC clearly had a strong vision for the Desire Eye, and I think it succeeded in accomplishing what it set out to do. The Desire Eye is a unique entry in today's smartphone market that puts the user front and center (or wherever they want to be in the pict...
