The editors didn't like
Awful low-light selfies
Front-facing flash doesn't help much with photos
Mushy side buttons
Low-light performance with front camera is worse most rival smartphones. Front autofocus can be slow and dual-LED flash is average
Prev2 of 2Next
Front camera doesn't get colors right
Rear camera struggles in low light
Design feels boxy
Cameras inconsistent
Bulky build
Although the front camera has 13 megapixels
Images still suffer from noise and blur
Particularly in low light. Focus is far from perfect too
Even with the flash assistance
Ostentatious looks not for everyone. Very tall design
Below-average battery lif
Sluggish autofocus
Front facing camera could be better
Average battery life
Disappointing hardware buttons
The build materials could be better
Call quality could be better
A little too large for comfort
Comes with outdated version of Android
Front cam's photos can be inconsistent
Picture quality of cameras isn't the best
Average battery
Doesn't come cheap
Many of the other camera features are gimmicky at best

Full HD screen, very fine selfie camera with flash, powerful processor
On the chunky side
The spec is downgraded a little from the HTC One (M8) with no IR blaster which would allow you to use it as a remote control or a barometer so you can measure elevation for your fitness apps. This is a perfectly fine phone with a solidly dependable spec...
Front facing 13 megapixel camera, Good screen size for daily use, Waterproof design adds reassurance
Pricey for a mid range phone, Very mixed camera results, Low battery capacity
I spent a number of weeks with the HTC Desire Eye and had a very enjoyable time using the large screen for watching videos and browsing the internet.I also loved the design with materials used and the red/white combination also looks really cool.Then came...
