HTC's Desire series of smartphones had a decent run during the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) era. These mid-range devices catered to people who wanted a phone that would perform well and was reasonably priced. In the Rs. 20,000 - 30,000 range, these phones stood up well to competition from Samsung and LG, amongst others.
HTC Desire 816 Summary
The HTC Desire 816 is a great phablet with consistent performance. Although, the one thing that sets the Desire 816 apart from the rest is the performance of its 13-megapixel rear camera and the 5-megapixel front one. We absolutely loved it.
