I was on the lookout for a good budget smartphone for a quite a while, and I had narrowed down my choices to the HTC Desire 816, and the Xperia T2 Ultra. I decided to go with the Desire 816 in the end, and here's my verdict.
Firstly, ignore the bogus reviews. People are giving the phone a 1 star rating for no reason other than the fact that Flipkart's selling it at a higher price. I personally bought mine from a different retailer, whom I won't name. If you don't like the price, you don't hav...

I was confused between Desire 816 and T2 Ultra but i chose to go with HTC.
Display is great its sharp and vibrant, touch response is also very nice.
Sound is great too but i was expecting it to be more loud but its good because of Stereo effects. Camera is nice in daylight but in low light environment photos become noisy and Front cam is fabulous i must say 5mp done great job.
Only con i see in this device is battery because it drains quickly, i'll give 6.5 out of 10 in battery department. Ot...

please sell it in the true price in which it has been launched in India-Rs.23029.....what I see is it's price is being changed everyday, it's very annoying. Kindly reduce the price with some good discount it will be appreciated !!
P.S rating only for the cell not for the price !!

This is my first HTC. First let me confess. I was always a Sony fan and Samsung hater.

For the same price T2 Ultra and Note Neo are available. I studied a lot and bought this. T2 Ultra's 6" is too much for my pocket. HTC doesn't lack anything (except perhaps the stylus) which Note Neo has. Moreover Note Neo is a Samsung. So I went for HTC.

After a long time HTC has hit a good phone in mid-range. For too long it lost its ground to Samsung. Ergonomic, great display, fantastic selfi...

first of all the price of this phone online is more fluctuating than the sensex itself...i got this phone for 23000...from retail shop...in delhi...so if anyone from flipkart is viewing this note this..DONT HARPER MORE FROM CUSTOMERS...
now for some reviews...
i have used this phone for a week now with every single feature of this phone...

LOOKS--a very cute looking gigantic phone with nice looking speaker grill. in short this phone is a eye-grabber.looks too good with the screen off as the ...

You might be wondering the screen size 5.5inch is too big, but let me tell you... it has an awesome HD display through which you can have a mind blowing movie and gaming experience, This phone size may always give you a second thought but trust me it goes perfectly in you palms.

Talking about the technical specifications:
(1) People think 1.5GB RAM is less and i seriously do not understand why? Bcos am sure you will not run more than 9 apps at the same time.
(2) HTC has one of the best user ...

The low ratings of this phone as you see here it's due to the anger borne out of the fact that it's exorbitantly priced in flipkart. So please ignore the ratings, because they really don't do justice to the awesomeness of this phone.

This phone was launched in India by HTC for 23,990 INR. However, there is no MRP printed anywhere on the box. Due to this reason, every dealer including the established one's like The Mobile Store, eZone and the online portals are inflating the MRP and selling t...
