HTC Desire 816G Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Nitansh Rastogi]()
Verdict
Compared to HTC of 2013, this year the brand seems to be willing to make more bets. It has jumped on several trends like selfies, 64-bit processing as well as launching a number of variants of its products. Phablets being a hot category these days, HTC took an interesting approach to reach more consumers by introducing a lower-priced variant of the extremely popular Desire 816. What`s further appreciable is the fact that the Desire 816G doesn`t come across as a watered-down variant of its siblin
Pros
- Good design
- Lightweight
- Good imaging experience
Cons
- Glossy body
- Slightly low on performance compared to its sibling

What's the same: design, display and cameras
+
Phablets are in vogue these days, and the Desire 816G falls in the same category with its large 5.5-inch display. The display bears a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and offers excellent visuals, even though the pixel density is slightly on the lower side at 267ppi. In terms of design, the device is a carbon copy of its sibling, with the front being home to the display, flanked by BoomSound speakers at the top and bottom.

What's different: hardware and connectivity

Interestingly, while both the devices run Android KitKat 4.4 as the underlying OS, it seems that their Sense overlays stand at different versions. The Desire 816 features the latest Sense 6 customisation, whereas the 816G gets the older version. It doesn't impact the usability at all, but we're still wondering why the brand has gone with the older Sense iteration on the newer device.
