HTC Desire 816 - Battery, Connectivity, Call quality and Verdict

This has to be the most interesting and critical part of the Desire 816. The device's non-removable 2,600mAh battery is fairly decent but not excellent.

With moderate usage (gaming, e-mail, music, videos, messaging and calling), this heavy weight scored a respectable 14 hours of battery life. There is a Power Saving mode that'll help you to get the maximum juice out of your handset.

In terms of connectivity, you'll get to see Wi-Fi, Nano-SIM, a microSD card slot (up to 128GB), 3G, A-GPS, FM Radio, among others.

The calls are fairly clear and you don't suffer from any signal dropouts. Overall, clarity is pretty awesome.

Here comes our final verdict - Should You Buy the HTC Desire 816? The Desire 816 is a gorgeous phone, despite having crafted out of plastic. The device is simple and elegant looking.

The 720p HD display seems O.K, but nonetheless it is a decent display to watch live videos on YouTube. With the Desire 816, the makers have tried to squeeze every possible feature. At Rs. 24,000, we think you should check out the HTC Desire 816.
