HTC Desire 816 fans in India should be pleased considering that the Android smartphone has gone up for sale in the country at a somewhat tempting price of less than Rs 24000. Online retailers have started offering the Desire 816 for a rate slightly higher than what was announced by the company.
The HTC Desire 816 was marked to retail for Rs 23,990, but it is currently listed on Infibeam for Rs 24450. Flipkart on the other hand, is charging even more at Rs 24999. The handset is currently the best you can get from the Desire series and it competes with the Sony T2 Ultra and the Samsung Note 3 Neo. A 5.5-inch HD IPS display sits comfortably on the front along with a 5MP camera and there’s a 13MP snapper on the rear which can record videos at 1080p full HD resolution.
The HTC Desire 816 features a plastic design and has a very minimalistic appearance. It has the same dual front-facing BoomSound speakers with built-in amplifiers found on the flagship series. Being dual SIM enabled, the Desire handset comes with a 1.6GHz quad core Snapdragon 400 processor and supports HSPA+ connectivity along with Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS and Bluetooth 4.0. It runs on Android KitKat and features HTC’s Sense UI with the BlinkFeed interface.
