The camera is great too, with good quality 13MP stills and 1080p video. Sense 6 may not be pure Holo Android, but is arguably better looking than other popular Android skins with its flat design and pastel color scheme. Still, what you get for the average price tag of the HTC Desire 816 is a beautiful screen and visually-appealing, functional software. To be fair, it's a midrange device so we can't expect premium materials though Sony has been offering its metal-and-glass design on a budget.
The Desire 816 was a bit of a letdown in that respect - it's a beautiful device for sure, but the plastic on the back and the side buttons cheapen the feel of the device. It couldn't have been doubt in its own abilities, HTC makes some of the best-built devices on the market. So why is HTC hesitant to enter it with both feet the way other companies have? The Desire 816 is only HTC's second attempt at a phablet - a bit unusual considering the segment has been expanding rapidly.
