HTC is struggling; the sales figures of many models are disappointing. With the development of the Desire Eye they try to catch up on the selfierage and thus turn the tide.
It is a camera with two 13 megapixel cameras, both equipped with a wide angle lens and double flash. The screen is 5.2 inches and has Full HD resolution. Furthermore, the Desire Eye is equipped with BoomSound speakers. Moreover, due to its IPX7 certification, the device is the first HTC to be water resistant to a certain extent. However, it is not dust-free, but more on that later.
Other devices with remarkably high resolution self-image cameras are the Huawei Ascend P7 and the Archos 50 Diamond. Both do not have the 13 megapixels of the Eye, but 8 megapixels are certainly not bad either. You might not immediately think about it, but maybe the own HTC Desire 820 with its 8 megapixel selfie camera is also a strong competitor.
What's with the device?
In the case of the Desire Eye, we have had a device at our disposal that is purely for testing purposes. As a result, the device is delivered in a boring white box and not in a nicely dressed and equipped surprise package. Except for the Desire Eye, we only received a microUSB cable with adapter for the socket. By the way, the consumer version is not much more extensive, only a headset and manual are included.
