Awful low-light selfies

Priced at Rs. 35,990, the HTC Desire Eye finds itself competing with its own brethren, the HTC One (E8) (Review) and the HTC One (M8 Eye) (Review | Pictures). Design-wise, the Desire Eye dares to do something different and succeeds. In fact, we'd go as fa...

Great design, Dual 13MP cameras are pretty good, Smooth UI and great on performance
Large to handle with one hand, Highly priced
The Desire Eye is again a superb looking smartphone from HTC which is as powerful as their flagship device, the One (M8). It is also a selfie centric handset offering a front 13MP camera with a dual-tone LED flash and even a rear 13MP camera which both ca...

HTC Desire Eye is the most capable smartphone the Taiwanese manufacturer has to offer. Only its Desire moniker, the plastic body, and the smaller marketing budget prevent the newcomer from taking the HTC One (M8) spot as the company's Android flagship sma...
