The Desire Eye may look a bit like a cyclops but a mythical reputation is not so easily achieved. Nevertheless, as far as we are concerned, the Desire Eye is on the right track. It has no major shortcomings and it is remarkable that HTC promotes it so little in the Netherlands. Its appearance and build quality, despite the use of plastic, are not at all inferior to those of the One M8; its metal big brother. Its water-resistance certainly comes in handy when spilling a cup of coffee on your desk. As we experienced ourselves.
With the Desire Eye, HTC seems to have a bit of a twinkle in its eye. The Desire line is normally positioned among the more expensive high-end models, but in terms of specifications this device is closer to the current top model than its Desire namesakes. The Desire Eye is a fraction larger than the One M8 and the price difference is minimal. At the time of writing even less than 50 euro. If you're not an avid self-shooter then the Desire Eye is still a very nice device, but the price could scare you away.
