This time we had the chance to try the HTC Desire 816 a phablet that comes to be positioned in the middle range of product. That is, it is not in the market to compete with models such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but rather to be an option for those seeking a terminal with large screen but do not require maximum performance (but solvency).
One of the details that highlight of this model compared to others in the same segment as him, such as the Huawei Ascend Mate range is that its design is attractive, as usual in models offering Taiwanese company. Indeed, in some details, such as rounded edges, sufficiently close to the One from HTC.

There is a detail that we want to comment before starting to narrate the opinions we have taken to the terminal to try: the inclusion of BoomSound technology. This is, without doubt, that offers the best sound quality on mobile devices out there today, and as the HTC Desire 816 features we can say that the two front speakers including allowed to have an experience in this section really good. Here, this phablet must say that it has absolutely nothing to envy any other of those in stores now (even as a check, the power output without distortion is spectacular).
Design
As mentioned above, the lines of this HTC Desire 816 are quite rounded, making it closer to the One M8 M7 that is now the high-end reference for this manufacturer. The truth is that much "roundness" allows the most comfortable grip, which is important because we talk about a device dimensions are not exactly small: 156.6 x 78.7 x 7.9 mm ( by the way, the weight is 165 grams with battery, so it does not clash much and feel is a slight phablet). Anyway, it is very difficult to use the terminal with one hand, but this is something that does not matter in excess phablet lovers.

Anyway, it is very difficult to use the terminal with one hand, but this is something that does not matter in excess phablet lovers.
The manufacturing material is plastic, as is customary in the range of HTC Desire (nothing to do with Metal One). The truth is that rear casing, very bright and is a magnet for fingerprints, the feeling of not being very resistant ... which is not so well as it supports everyday without damage suffered. In addition, bodes and the front have a much more robust and less "plastic" presence, which favors for a more striking to HTC Desire 816 touch.
The design is "one piece", so it is not possible to remove the rear cover. This on one hand gives a snse of continuity in the design, but impossible to change the battery, something very much in those who are able to constantly mobility. This makes the card slots, both Nanosim using as a microSD is protected by a lid side. Access to these, incidentally, is very convenient and simple. As for the hardware switch and volume control buttons are on the other side (by the way, are perfectly sized and not dance to use).

One detail that did not really like the HTC Desire 816 is that the LED notification is very small, so it is sometimes not displayed if you are not close or stare, so it loses some of its usefulness.
With very good in terms of tactility and seamless integration into the frontal response, I must say that Android icons Control are here and, incidentally, I must say that panel frames are not exactly the smallest we have seen to date (especially the sides). In short, a well resolved section but that is not the highlight of the HTC Desire 816.Screen
The screen is pretty good, SuperLCD type 2 has dimensions of 5.5 inches and yet still one step behind which is integrated in the HTC One M8 do not see anything wrong. Yes, the panel has a resolution of 720p, which does not look as good as the terminals that integrates a Full HD type and its pixel density of 267 ppi.

The picture quality is quite good, with a representation of the appropriate color without major trends to green or yellow (especially whites). The brightness is sufficient but not particularly powerful, which shows a little on the outside, where the screen suffers more than expected. Anyway, either to read web pages or watch movies, this component is not bad.
And hardware performance
The truth is that when fundamental components included in the HTC Desire are reviewed 816 is quite clear that this model is aimed at the midrange, as the Snapdragon processor 400 and memory reaches 2 GB, but truth is that if you consider those offered by other models on the market, I must say that this phablet out.

The reason is none other than the frequency of the four cores of the SoC, which integrates a GPU Adreno 305, is 1.6 GHz (the best you can find) and in terms of RAM, this is 1, 5 GB. Thus, and as we saw, performance and fluency with all applications is quite good and also multitasking processes behaves perfectly. In addition, this set allows the execution of user interface Sense 6, which is what used to be optimal -much better than any of the Desire models we've tested so far-.
Then we leave the results we obtained in the different benchmarks that we use in MovilZona, confirming that this HTC Desire 816 can not be compared with high-end models but it is a step above the usual mid-range, as bq Aquaris may be 5.5.

Camera
This section was a real surprise in the HTC Desire 816 as the main chamber of the device behaved really well when used. Just do not use UltraPixel component technology or dual camera. The choice of the manufacturer is a 13 megapixels sensor with f/2.2, which is much higher than what is usually included in the midrange product.

The results we obtained when using the component are those who leave then and the truth is that they are both pretty good quality in good light as when the light is not the best:
The truth is that the colors are very well represented, and the definition is great ... but a big noise in photographs appreciate. Yes, I must say that sometimes a little white burn, especially when these impacts are direct light-indeed, the HDR mode is effective, that is what is asked and in some terminals use no offers large improvements-. But the truth is that the quality of the camera of the HTC Desire 816 is very good. In addition, the autofocus is fast, we could see even when making recordings (to a maximum of 1080p).
As for the camera interface, I must say that this is really simple but at the same time provides a good amount of options that are easy to access. The truth is that HTC has greatly improved in this section and, really, there's nothing you can "critique" to this.
ConclusionThe truth is that the HTC Desire 816 is a very good phablet midrange because it works fast, solvency and no delays seen with the most demanding applications. Sense 6 again, we showed that it is one of the interfaces Users are better finished and additionally must say that options like BlinkFeed or car mode are very useful.
The camera is the best we've seen in the average range, although I must say that the price of HTC Desire 816 is somewhat high, and its storage capacity is somewhat sparse. But overall, this model is not bad and also accompanied by a design that is attractive, so it may be an option for those looking for a less expensive terminal that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Yes, maybe find it difficult to compete with models that are cheaper though, these tend to offer inferiorly hardware.
The best:
Back camera quality
Compatible with Sense 6
Includes technology BoomSound
Worst:
Only 8 GB of storage capacity
Small LED notifications
Price somewhat high
