Many reports are now suggesting that the sales of the HTC One M8 and the Desire 816 are helping to revive the Taiwanese phone company's declining fortunes. Latching on to this positive outlook, HTC announced the Desire 616 Dual SIM along with the One (E8).
The HTC Desire 616 Dual SIM saw HTC use Mediatek’s now-famous MT6592 octa-core SoC for the first time ever on a smartphone. The result was blazing fast performance. But there were a lot of areas, like the camera performance for example, where the HTC Desire 616 Dual SIM lagged behind the competition. We cannot really recommend this phone whole-heartedly considering the competition.
