Price last checked: 14 Feb 2016. Confirm current price before buying.
A Snapdragon 400 chipset and 1.5GB RAM put this phone squarely in the budget tier, even by 2014 standards. The 5.5-inch Super LCD2 screen runs at 720p, which works out to around 267 ppi, decent enough for everyday use but not sharp by today's benchmarks. HTC Desire 816 price in Malaysia starts from RM912, and it comes in Black, White, Red, Gray or Green.
Storage is limited at 8GB out of the box, though microSD support up to 128GB gives you room to grow. The 13MP rear camera with LED flash handles daylight shots fine and can shoot 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5MP front camera covers basic selfie duty.
A 2600 mAh battery keeps things running, paired with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and HTC's Sense UI 6.0 on top. NFC's included as an optional feature, and you get LTE support alongside the usual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.
