The HTC Desire Eye is the first smartphone to feature a front-facing flash to illuminate your selfies. Its screen is bright and bold, it has plenty of power and its colourful body is waterproof. This 5.2 -inch Android phone separates itself from the rest of the Android world by virtue of its 13-megapixel front-facing camera, which also has a dual LED flash to illuminate your dazzling smile in even the darkest of places. It's the first phone to have such a potent front camera. It is, in fact, the same camera that you'll find on the back of the phone as well.
Other features include a colourful, waterproof body, a full-HD display and the latest version of Android KitKat. As part of HTC's more affordable Desire range, the Eye eschews the all-metal design of the flagship One M8. The body is made from a single piece of plastic that's been given a two-tone design, which I think looks great -- it's much more fun to look at than plain grey and black slabs. It's a big phone, due to cramming in that 5.2 -inch display, but it's slim and easy to fit into a pocket.
You'll certainly need two hands to type on it properly though, unless you have thumbs as long as pool cues. It feels sturdy to hold and I'm sure it can take a few knocks and bumps without showing up too much damage.
