HTC Desire 826 detailed reviews

Smartphones near or just above the 20K price mark are generally good performers. Some of the phones that fall in this category can even be compared lớn high end flagships. Enter HTC’s Desire 800 series of phones. Now, smartphones in HTC’s Desire range have been good lately. They offer a subtle phối of good specs & design and the story continues with the Desire 826. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC which we saw earlier on the Yu Yureka & is only available currently on a handful of phones. So, can the Desire 826 justify its price tag of 24K? Let’s find out.

Design và Build

As I said earlier, the điện thoại htc Desire 826 is pretty similar in terms of design và build unique to other smartphone htc Desire phones we have seen recently. The build chất lượng specifically is very similar to lớn what we saw on the Desire 816 and the820s. However, of all the Desire phone we have reviewed recently, the thiết kế of the Desire 826 feels the most disappointing.

Desire 820s và Desire 826

This is all due to small changes in the design. For example, the distinctive speaker grill from the top & bottom is now hidden in crevices. The power & volume keys are somewhat hidden on the right edge as they have a similar colour khổng lồ the side & are not very tactile lớn press. Adding in the 183 grams of weight, slippery glossy back & its large footprint, means the Desire 826 is not very ergonomic lớn hold either. The plastic build does not instill any confidence but feels sturdy enough to take small knocks here and there but we'd still recommend a case.

Display & UI

The Desire 826's 1080p 5.5-inch display is just beautiful from every angle you look at it. There is no denying that this is one of the best 1080p displays in its segment. The display is bright and easily visible under direct sunlight. Any kind of content, be it images, videos, the UI itself or just games, look good. Text looks great and the cảm biến experience is satisfactory as well.

Coming khổng lồ the UI, I found the new sense6 UI pretty similar khổng lồ Sense 5. The animations have changed but the chip core set of apps và services remainthe same. The theme manager is a welcome addition and it also allows users lớn make their own themes with just any image of their choice.

Besides the theme manager, you get a smarter BlinkFeed which is more image centric & the Sense trang chủ Widget which tries to lớn suggest apps related to lớn where you are but isn’t very well optimized. Hints of Material kiến thiết are visible in menus across the UI as the phone comes with game android Lollipop out of the box.

Performance

The Desire 826 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core SoC which came out as a segment leader when it was installed on the sub 10K Yu Yureka but the competition becomesstiffer over the 20K price mark. With OnePlus One now available without an invite & HTC’s much cheaper 820s performing almost similarly, the Desire 826 really struggles khổng lồ grab attention.

Saying that, the phone had no issues handling day khổng lồ day tasks or even graphically intensive games. But prolonged usage made the phone heat up and made it uncomfortable to lớn hold. Và then comes the tốc độ throttling issues. In a good 1 hour of gaming, playing ‘Brothers in Arms 3’ the framerates gradually dropped khổng lồ a màn chơi where the phone stuttered with each swipe.

Here is how the điện thoại performs in synthetic benchmarks


As you can see, the performance is quite close khổng lồ other phones in its category but not quite up lớn the mark.

The phone supports dual-SIMs but I found the reception wasn't so good in underground metros & could have been better. The sound output via the stereo speakers is good & is even better when using headphones.

Battery

With a 2600mAh battery on-board I expected pretty average battery life và that’s exactly what the điện thoại cảm ứng thông minh achieves. Using the phone daily, I was never able lớn get a day’s worth out of the smartphone and it required a quick charge in the evening on most of the days. However, with the built in power saver mode, the battery was able to last till bed time without any problem. But the results differ under heavy usage, lượt thích after an hour of intense gameplay, the phone reported a drop of 38%, which left me rather unconvinced.

Camera

The Desire 826 houses a 13MP rear camera lượt thích any other điện thoại cảm ứng in its category. Like the Desire 820s we expected a good camera but that isn’t the case with the Desire 826. Each và every picture I took with the camera showcased the same problem - over-saturated colours & lack of focus. Và when the camera did focus, I found the contrast levels higher than expected. Background noise is kept minimal but it does creep into low light shots or when photos are shot indoors.

HTC Desire 826

The front-facing camera exhibits a similar problem set, so does the video capture mode. The camera software does feature a fair range of adjustment settings & they bởi make the pictures look better but nobody likes to fiddle around with the camera setting every time they want to lớn take a picture.

Bottomline

The điện thoại htc Desire 826 is not the best phone in its category và exists only as an option like every other Desire phone from HTC. The performance it offers is available in other smartphones at more affordable prices and this is where the smartphone htc Desire 826 loses. Phones like the Xiaomi mi 4 or the OnePlus One are a better buy over this phone and if you still want an HTC, buy the Desire 820 or the 820s.
