Pros: • Screen and camera are responsive.
• Processor reasobably fast.
• 100GB of extra Google Drive storage (for two years).
• System updateable through version 6
• Sync Manager software (for PC/Mac) is useful for copying files to/from computer.

Cons: • CAMERA'S IMAGE IS YELLOW-TINTED, MORESO IN BRIGHTER LIGHT. Images require post-processing for color correction, as well as in-app tweaking (i.e., saturation, EV). One reason for buing this phone was its 13MP camera. I don't have a week or two to lose in the return process. Makes me miss the days before online shopping, when I could just go back the store where I'd bought something and swap it out for a non-defective one.
• HTC proprietary software arrogates too much present and demands too much engagement with HTC's "brand."
• Battery's life could be better, but then again, it's powering a 5/5" screen.

Other Thoughts: I had written a detailed, thoughtful, balanced and sometimes humorous review, but my log-in timed-out, thanks to New Egg. So, I'm really annoyed - but you really lose.

Pros: -Very strong glass; I have dropped it multiple times from a height of 3+ feet, Still in-tact.
-Very good camera for such a low budget phone.
-Cpu is VERY good for a low-medium price smartphone
-Battery life lasts me a full day (18 hours)

Cons: -Could have more ram, you are getting what you pay for essentially. At a price of $180(currently) you get mediocre ram (1 Gb) for a quadcore 1.6 GHz cpu? could be more balanced.

-Storage is only 8gb and it comes with alot of HTC bloatware. In a recent update htc added 2-3 apps that arent even compatible with this phone, like htc dot view

Other Thoughts: I got this phone for Christmas, I am still using it (July 19th) and have zero problems. If I would have demo'ed this phone i would have said it was at least double the price.

Pros: Camera works well and the screen is nice, responds to inputs well and runs programs as quickly as my Galaxy S4.

Cons: My wife mentioned that the overall dimensions are a little big, but not enough to detract.

Pros: This is only the 2nd smartphone I've ever had, and I mainly got it because my other one kept running out of room and I needed more apps, and I also wanted to be able to send group texts and maintain a thread.
I'm just really writing this to tell anyone that may be on the fence about getting this to consider it.
Here's what I mainly use it for:
Phone calls, text messages, Calendar, Facebook or facebook messages, email, To do list apps, financial apps, google docs.
Everything else is just icing, like room to put music or whatever.
I use an iPod for my music, so I dont need it on my phone.

Cons: I'm sure there may be some cons, but I can't think of any right now.

Pros: Great reviews on this device. I was torn between a tablet of some sort or just getting a new cell phone. My girlfriends HTC ONE is nice and I'm familiar with the OS system which is why I went with this Desire 816. Not to heavy for the size which is a plus The Camera is amazing on this phone which is the best feature. 10/10 camera

Cons: No Cons

Other Thoughts: Make sure you have the pocket space for this monster because It is a BIG phone. Nothing out of the ordinary now-a-days.

I would like the next model to have 4k screen resolution, higher clock speed on CPU and more RAM.
