HTC Desire EYE

HTC Desire Eye

The HTC desire eye is the ultimate selfie cam-phone. It is the rumoured 13 MP camera HTC phone. Most thought it would be the back camera that was getting the spec boost, and it did, but the phone has the same camera facing forward. This is HTC's attempt to tap into the selfie crowd. The phone was supposed to have a metal chassis, like the One M8, but now we know it has a plastic casing.

The Desire EYE has a nicely designed body with the signature Boom Sound speakers which are now hidden between the chin of the phone and the screen and between the bezel and the screen in the top. Both cameras have a dual LED flash. The Desire has a 5.2" 1080p display which is sharp and bright. It does not have the metal build that many people wanted, but it has a polycarbonate frame that is IPX7 certified. This means it is waterproof but not dust proof.

The phone runs Android KitKat with HTC's skin on it (HTC Sense), so it gets the new Blinkfeed for news and entertainment.

There are still rumours of a One M8 with a 13 MP camera, but we have to wait and see if it is true or not.

Update: Looks like the HTC One M8 Eye rumours are true, but it's only available in Asian markets. Nothing has been said about the phone releasing in Indian and North American markets yet.
