An octa-core Mediatek MT6592 chip at 1.4 GHz paired with a Mali-450MP4 GPU handles the everyday load here, though 1 GB of RAM is on the tight side for multitasking even by 2014 standards. The 4 GB of internal storage is similarly limited, so you'll want that microSD slot (up to 32 GB) from day one. The 5-inch display runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, working out to roughly 294 ppi, which is decent for the size.
On the back is an 8 MP camera with autofocus, LED flash and HDR support, capable of 1080p video at 30fps. The front camera sits at 2 MP for basic video calls. A 2000 mAh battery keeps things running, dual SIM support is onboard, and it all ships on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with HTC's Sense UI 5.5 layered on top.
HTC Desire 616 price in Malaysia starts from RM720. It comes in Black, White and Red, and at 150g with a 9.2mm profile, it's light enough for daily carry without feeling flimsy.
