Short Review
- The HTC Desire 816G dual SIM features a plastic build with dimensions of 156.6 x 78.7 x 8 mm and a weight of 158 grams, making it relatively lightweight.
- It sports a 5.5-inch Super LCD2 display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
- The rear camera is 13 MP with an f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- A 2600 mAh battery powers the device, but it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- The software runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) with HTC's Sense UI 6, offering a user-friendly experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone features stereo speakers for enhanced audio output and includes a standard headphone jack.
- Available in black and white, the design is simple yet functional without water resistance.
- Overall, the HTC Desire 816G dual SIM is a solid choice for users seeking essential smartphone features.
