HTC Desire Eye design and built

The HTC Desire Eye has a very stylish design with a unique tough at the front, as its 13MP front camera occupies almost the entire bezel on top the screen. Its very size shows that the front camera is really impressive and worthy.

The presence of the dual-LED flash at the front also makes the phone look equally strange. However, this also stresses the selfie friendly motto of the devise.

HTC Desire Eye Side

The large 5.2 inch touchscreen looks great and offers sharp and crisp display. The smartphone houses three microphones – one at the bottom and one for each of the cameras for the video shooting purpose.

Then there are the impressive HTC’s patent BoomSound stereos at the front around the screen, which are hardly noticeable, but are incredible. The HTC Desire Eye unique design divides it into three segments, which is clearly visible in the blue color option, where you see the white front, a light blue trim and dark blue back panel. The other color option shows off a pristine white at the front and rear with a bright red trim in between.

The HTC Desire Eye’s built quality is also great. Though plastic, it is a good and sturdy polycarbonate material that is usually offered by Nokia, and feels great to touch as well. However, the smooth back panel is fingerprint magnet and becomes all smudgy after use.

The back panel looks neat as there’s not much other than the same camera setup and the HTC logo.

With the new HTC Desire Eye, you don’t have to pose for someone else to take your picture; simply take great selfies whenever you wish to.

    1. Hi Nandan,
      Thanks for visiting TechnoGiants.
      As per my knowledge, Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge are Samsung’s best smartphones for taking selfies. You can take a look on some of these smartphones too i.e. Oppo Find 7, Gionee Elife E7 Mini, Micromax Canvas Knight, Lenovo Vibe X, Huawei Ascend G6, and Apple iPhone 5S.
      Cheers,
      Vaibhav S
