HTC has stolen a lot of limelight recently with its flagship handset the One M8 and its smaller One mini 2, and you could be forgiven for thinking that these two are just about all the phone maker has in its range. But in fact the Desire range continues t...

I'm won over by the HTC Desire 816. There is plenty of call for mid-priced, large-screened handsets, and I'm a fan of the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Mega and Huawei Ascend P7, both of which are a fair bit more expensive than the Desire 816. If you are l...

The Desire 816 is HTC's attempt to make a smartphone for people who love music and movies. Multimedia has necessitated the need for a large screen, wicked speakers and a high resolution camera, and all of it is on offer for less that $400. For a brut...

The HTC Desire 816 may not be a headline-grabbing phablet but it's a very good handset that's a well-rounded device with no major flaws. In fact, we'd probably even recommend it over the One Max, in spite of the latter's higher-end credentials. The Desire...
