Although it can be expanded by up to 128 GB, the lack of App2SD support might become tight quite soon, especially for gamers. The storage of 16 GB is actually sufficiently sized, but the user only has 8.8 GB available after initial use. Internet browsing is swift, as reflected in the benchmarks. We ascertained an impressive browser performance using the stock browser. The AC version of the Snapdragon 801 is even slightly faster, but the available performance is absolutely sufficient and ensures a smooth system performance and fast opening apps under Android. The system delivers the expected scores in the benchmarks and is roughly on par with the rivals that are based on the same SoC. The SoC promises plenty of power and also proves that in practice. The Qualcomm Adreno 330 is responsible for graphics calculations. The quad-core SoC clocks with 2.3 GHz each and is supported by 2 GB of working memory. HTC's Desire Eye is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AB. Although the color accuracy could be a bit better, the focus is really good. The quality of the lens in HTC's Desire Eye is also compelling and will absolutely satisfy selfie fans. The Ascend P7 (8MP) comes closest to this unit, and otherwise some devices with 5 MP cameras are found in the market. It is currently the highest-resolution front lens in a smartphone and can take advantage of this. In fact, the camera presents quite decent results. In return, the 22 mm wide angle can capture more people on a picture. However, its aperture of f/2.2 is a bit smaller. The front-facing camera also features 13.1 MP, a BSI sensor with auto focus, and a dual-LED flash. The dual-LED flash counters this effect well and the colors remain quite natural. Noise quickly arises in poor light and the outlines look frayed. The low-light properties of the Desire Eye are not breathtaking despite the BSI sensor. However, the lens tends to overexpose bright areas slightly. The pictures are sharp and display good color accuracy. The focal length corresponds to a 28 mm wide angle. The back-side illuminated sensor (BSI) operates with an aperture of f/2.0. The user will have to be satisfied with approximately 10 MP (4208x2368 pixels) when shots are to be taken in 16:9. The rear-facing lens is capable of up to 13.1 MP (4208x3120 pixels 4:3). The difference between both cameras in HTC's Desire Eye is found in details. On the one hand, it is very bass-heavy and on the other hand, calls are accompanied by an incessant noise. Although the included headset is useful, it is definitely not a long-term solution. It is a good alternative in quiet surroundings when the hands-free mode has to be used. The speaker sounds a bit piercing in high pitches, but it does its job well otherwise. The audio quality was impeccable on the other side and made a superb impression. We heard our call partner loud and clear when held to the ear. ![]() The voice quality of HTC's Desire Eye is decent. It makes a very well-conceived impression and is functional. The same phone app as in the bigger One M8 is used. In addition to the in-house One M8 and One E8 models, top-of-the-line products like Samsung's Galaxy S5, Sony's Xperia Z3, Apple's iPhone 6, LG's G3, and Nokia's Lumia 930 step in line. Its configuration and an RRP of 529 Euros (~$658) places HTC's Desire Eye in the premium range, and it faces strong rivals. A larger battery could also have been used it has an average capacity of 2400 mAh. However, the smartphone is not clad in aluminum, and thus the buyer has to be satisfied with plastic. The 16 GB internal storage can be expanded via a micro-SD, and the Full HD screen has a size of 5.2-inches. A speedy Snapdragon 801 ensures plenty of computing power, and the 2 GB of working memory is adequately dimensioned. The configuration is very impressive otherwise. The Taiwanese phone-builder now wants to teach their competitors a lesson with the HTC Desire Eye and installs a 13 MP lens and dual-LED flash in both the primary camera on the back as well as the front-facing camera. It was usually the low-resolution cameras that gave reason for complaint in HTC's One M8. For the original German review, see here. ![]()
