HTC Desire Eye, a phone for selfie lovers

Are you a Selfie freak? If yes, I think you should start making plans to buy this phone. The rear and front cameras are both 13 megapixel with dual LED flashes and built-in Selfie tools for editing. 13MP front camera, it's unbelievable. You can take wonderful pictures from both sides. It also has front facing stereo speakers and with the 3 mics in front, call clarity won't be a problem at all. I won't be wrong to say that this phone was specially created for Selfie lovers. It has a lot of tools and effects just for selfies. Just like the HTC One M8, it also has boom sound speakers. HTC really improved in the aspect of their camera because the M8's back camera is 4MP and the front camera is 5MP but now the HTC desire eye's camera is 13MP both front and back with autofocus and full 1080p video recording and dual LED flash technology. 

The 5.2 inch smartphone is water resistant (IPX7). The Desire Eye runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat along with HTC Sense 6 UI. It has the Auto and Voice Selfies that allows you to use voice command to take as much selfies as you want.                         

The HTC Desire has a 5.2-inch display with a 1920 x 1080p screen resolution, a 2.3Ghz Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 801 Processor, a 16GB internal storage which is expandable through the MicroSD Slot up to 128GB, 2GB RAM and a 2,400mAh battery.

The Desire Eye is the first waterproof smartphone that Htc has produced and it is also the first phone to have a front facing flash. This Phone is specially created for Selfie lovers, there's no doubt about that.
