The editors didn't like
Awful low-light selfies
Front-facing flash doesn't help much with photos
Mushy side buttons

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

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Comes with outdated version of Android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

Water resistant, Fast and capable cameras - on both sides, Good screen, Very solid performance
A bit large and boxy, Not quite as snazzy as an HTC One M8
Specs and OS Open Gallery On the specs front, it's running off a Snapdragon 801 quad-core chip clocked at 2.3GHz with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage (up to a further 128GB via microSD card). It seems snappy enough, but we'll have to wa...
HTC's Sense UI, performance, display quality and touch response, pretty design with waterproof polycarbonate chassis, both cameras, battery life
Expensive, cheap volume and power buttons

While there is no denying that you cannot possibly justify that price tag of ~35K for a selfie-centric smartphone, it must also be said that the Desire EYE is a powerful phone even if you don't use either of the cameras. Yes, the competition from Chinese ...
Abstract: Design: The HTC Desire Eye is made up of soft plastic. It doesn't look as premium as the flagship HTC smartphones, yet it has a nice feel. To make it look different, HTC has made it a multi-coloured phone. My review unit had white front and back with a re...
