Too expensive

Age usually doesn't suit gadgets well, and smartphones in particular grow old and obsolete quicker than other products. Within its own two-to-three-year lifespan, a flagship smartphone can go from being state-of-the-art to bargain-basement. Why then would anyone launch an already ageing 2015 smartphone in 2016, and hope to have it take on the extremely competitive mid-range?

HTC Desire 626 Dual SIM Summary

The HTC Desire 626 Dual SIM is a 2015 phone that has been launched in 2016, and feels dated in the face of competition. It runs old hardware, old software and simply does not have any significant positives that make it worth buying. It costs far too much for what it is, and you're better off buying newer phones that come with better features and current software.

HTC ROCKS!!

Adarsh Iyer (Sep 25, 2016) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

Pros:- Superb design quality wid premium looks! HTC tied up wid google drive for 100gb cloud storage space so no issues for storage! Better than the likes of galaxy j7,g4plus which is expensive as well as not good in looks n overall feel! Cam is gr8 in daylight even selfie comes out good especailly if ur vivid selfie lovers u can go for it..... Smooth operation n htc sense 7.0 is amazing. Cons:- Lollipop os! Screen is little bit smaller but not an issue in that range!! Overall, i would rate 4/5 in terms of look,feel,cam specially in daylight conditions widout flash,smooth operation!!.....
