HTC Desire 816G Summary

HTC launched the HTC Desire 816G in India on October 9, 2014, and it's a phone that leans heavily into display quality. Up front is a 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) S-LCD display with a sharp 4160 x 3120 Pixels resolution.

Powering things is the MediaTek MT6582 chipset, paired with 1 GB of RAM — plenty of muscle for daily multitasking and heavier apps alike. On the software side, it ships with Android v4.4.2 (KitKat) out of the box.

Selfies and video calls are handled by a 5 MP front camera for sharper, well-focused shots.

Storage is fixed at 8 GB, and the phone supports Dual SIM. In terms of build, it measures 156.6 mm x 78.7 mm x 8 mm and weighs 158 grams.
