HTC Desire 616 - Battery and Verdict

While the phone lacks any power saving mode, the fitted 2000mAh battery should be enough to run day-to-day apps. HTC claims 14 hours of talk time, and this appears to be a big claim. We'll find out more about battery performance in our detailed review.

The HTC Desire 616 might not look sizzling when it comes to design and hardware. Also it does not have one single superb feature that makes the device different from the rest of the crowd. It's arguably not the best phone from the makers behind the HTC One (M8).

At Rs. 16,990 the Desire 616's retail price is a major attraction here, otherwise the phone largely disappointed us. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!
