Htc desire eye

The Taiwanese company HTC returns to the smartphone market with the HTC Desire Eye, a new mobile mainly focused on the photographic section. We are facing a terminal that incorporates a screen of 5.2 inches with resolution Full HD, ie, a resolution that reaches 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. In the section of photography, the HTC Desire Eye draws attention to incorporate a front camera 13 megapixel with autofocus and LED flash, while the main camera also integrates a sensor 13 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash (ofdouble tone in both cases). Let's learn more about this smartphone in the following review of the HTC Desire Eye.

Display and layout

Screen the HTC Desire Eye has a size of 5.2 inches and has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, besides its screen pixel density is set to the 424 ppi. This screen size is more than common in today's mobile phone market, and in fact most of the high-end smartphones from HTC's competition incorporate screens whose sizes usually exceed five inches. Another positive aspect to highlight of the HTC Desire Eye screen is its 424 ppi pixel density on the screen, a figure that should guarantee a high and sharp image quality..

The design of the HTC Desire Eye has little or nothing to do with the design that HTC introduced with the HTC One M8, at least as far as the materials that make up the case are concerned. The HTC Desire Eye incorporates a plastic casing available in various designs, including a white-red design and a light blue-dark blue design. On the front of this smartphone we have the front camera accompanied by its respective dual-tone LED flash, the front sensors, the HTC logoand the three virtual buttons of the Android operating system integrated within the screen. At the rear we find the main camera, also accompanied by a dual-tone LED flash, and another HTC logo.

It should also be noted that the HTC Desire Eye is resistant to water and dust, although HTC has not specified the exact degree of protection available to this mobile.

Camera and multimedia

The photographic aspect is perhaps one of the most striking parts of the HTC Desire Eye. Both the front camera as the main camera of this smartphone are 13 megapixels, both incorporate LED dual - tone flash, both have a sensor with autofocus and both allow you to make video recordings with maximum quality of 1080 pixels. The fact that the HTC Desire Eye incorporates a front camera of these characteristics responds to the trend that many companies are following when launching high-end mobile phones with secondary cameras designed for selfies , that is, self-profile photographs.

In addition, the Camera application of this smartphone incorporates a wide variety of options aimed at lovers of self-profile photographs. One of these options allows us to record videos simultaneously using both the front camera and the main camera, while another option allows us to cut photographs taken with the front camera and then integrate them into the photograph we have taken with the main camera.

Regarding the multimedia section, the HTC Desire Eye incorporates a native multimedia player that is compatible with the main audio and video formats on the market. Among these forms are the following extensions: MP4 / H.264 / WMV / MP3 / eAAC + / WAV / WMA.

Power and memory

Although HTC has focused on surprising us with the photographic aspect of the HTC Desire Eye, the technical data of the performance of this mobile reveal that we are facing a terminal that should not have any problem to move fluidly both its interface and any type of application of Android. The processor housed inside the HTC Desire Eye responds to the name of Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, it is quad-core and operates at a clock speed of 2.3 GHz together with an Adreno 330 graphics processor. The capacity of the RAM memory reaches 2 GigaBytes.

The internal storage space is set at 16 GigaBytes, of which the real space available to users will probably be reduced to 12 GigaBytes (due to the files that this mobile has installed as standard). The HTC Desire Eye incorporates a slot for external memory cards, so we can increase the memory capacity using a microSD card of up to 128 GigaBytes.

Operating system and applications

The HTC Desire Eye incorporates the Android operating system as standard in its latest version of Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Leaving aside the new features of this version, which do not involve any major change compared to Android 4.4.2, the most noticeable hallmarks of the HTC Desire Eye reside in its HTC Sense 6 UI interface. This interface corresponds to the most recent customization layer that HTC installs on its mobiles, so as the exact details of this interface become known, we will be able to know all the applications that the HTC Desire Eye will have installed as standard.

One of the applications installed as standard with which the HTC Desire Eye is presented is Google Drive, the cloud storage platform of the American company Google. Users who purchase this smartphone will get a free account with 50 GigaBytes of cloud storage.

Connectivity and autonomy

3G, 4G LTE (ultra-fast Internet) and WiFi are the three wireless Internet connectivity with which the HTC Desire Eye is presented in partnership. Special mention should be made of the 4G connectivity, which allows data download speeds of up to 150 Mbps to be achieved as long as the coverage allows it. The Bluetooth 4.0, a GPS (with technology A-GPS and GLONASS) and NFCmake up the rest of wireless connectivity that this mobile has. Physical connectivities, meanwhile, are summarized in an output minijack of 3.5 mm, an output microUSB 2.0 and a card slot microSD, plus slot card Nano-SIM.

The built-in battery in the HTC Desire Eye has a capacity of 2,400 mAh. According to figures of autonomy provided by HTC, this smart phone is able to operate continuously for up to 538 hours at rest, while in conversation this figure drops to the 20 hours.

Price and availability

HTC has not specified the specific date of the launch of the HTC Desire Eye, although everything seems to indicate that its landing in European stores will occur before the end of this year 2014. Its starting price, at least as far as Spain is concerned, will be set at 550 euros.
