SATISFYING to the core! GO FOR IT!

( *Edited after actually buying the phone =D )

Tired of seeing reviews comparing HTC phones to other companies's devices solely based on the specification on its cover. HTC might not provide the greatest spec in the given price range, but the hands on user experience, that's an entirely different story!

Bought it few months back from a local retailer. Awesome phone indeed! The first thing you'd notice when you hold this phone is its weight. This has to be the LIGHTEST phone in its category....

The phone exudes 'Premium Quality' top to bottom

I saw this phone being sold in India sometime in last month and was under clear impression that HTC has gone insane with the pricing.

However when the day arrived when I had to purchase a phone for myself and had a budget of 20K only, I end up buying this one.

I purchased it outside Flipkart for 21,500. However recommend purchasing it from Fipkart since you could save more than 1K.

I walked in to a retail shop with following phones shortlisted:
1. Sony Xperia C
2. Samsung Galaxy Grand Du...

Nice Phone with Premium Looks

I am using this phone since last three days (not bought from flipkart) and till then it feels great to use it.
Pros: Camera, Signal Strength, premium look, voice clarity, internet speed, battery life (lasts for a day easily) etc. etc.
I have not played any game on it, so don't know about its performance during games.
Cons: HTC Blinkfeed ( I do not like it very much) and it is not possible to remove it from your homescreen (but some third party app can do it like: Apex Launcher).
Otherwise ph...

Overpriced! Decent phone but there are better options.

My review:

Pros:
1. Camera : 8MP camera is definitely one of the better ones in this range. The camera is better than Sony phones but not sure how it fares against Samsung ones.

2. Sense UI: This phone comes with the latest Sense 5 UI that is quite a joy to use.

3. Decent build quality and a stylish design.

4. Polaris Office app : Comes with a full version of the Office Suite app which lets you view and edit Office documents. Even some flagships don't come pre-installed with such an app(...

Wonderfull device from HTC

I bought this device on 03/03/2014 from a retail shop. Firstly i would like to say we cannot compare this device wit any other companies like micromax and samsung.

Since the day iv started using this phone its NEVER HANGED, NO ISSUES WITH CAMERA like the micromax and samsung, so stop comparing.

Coming to the price, i paid 19k for this and id say the device is worth this price the camera is best in this range and the device is so so thin and light wight u dont feel like your holding a devic...

Mobile like "Black Diamond"

I Bought this mobile in LOT mobiles,

I Can suggest you to buy this mobile only, instead of Desire 700, but before that read my review here.

Value for money: Don worry about the price, its worth to this mobile.

Screen Display: Is very neat and hi-genic HD Pctiure quality.

Camera: Distributed with 8 MP camera, which clicks clearly even if u zoom upto 1000 x more, there will b no breaking pixel.

Battery: Given 1800 mAh battery, which poor standard time, battery is the main problem with this...
