Below-par battery life

There is no denying that today everyone's social media feeds are filled with selfies. We have encountered every kind of pose from duck faces to wide grins to shots taken in drunken hazes. This trend, though narcissistic in nature, is now a global phenomenon we can't escape.Quite opportunistically, smartphone manufacturers are cashing in.

HTC Desire Eye Summary

The HTC Desire Eye boasts of a whopping 13-megapixel secondary camera on the front. This camera takes decent selfies but the performance could have been better. We liked the design of the phone and its generally snappy performance more.

Such an amazing phone.

Sutirtho Majumdar (Sep 1, 2012) on Flipkart

See, many people may not like the idea of a 500 mhz phone in the year 2012, but this phone is just amazing. A little on the heavier side, this phone is packed with a wonderfully made keypad and the display is one of its kind. The gorilla glass Display just takes your breathe away. I have used this phone for almost a year now. You will have to tweak it a little with Cyanogen mod to enjoy the phone up up its full potential. It tends to become laggy but it has the liberty since it is such a good phone. Too bad this set has been discontinued. they should have worked on this design only.
