Price last checked: 3 Aug 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
A Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.6 GHz processor and Adreno 305 GPU handles the everyday load here, paired with 1.5 GB RAM running Android 4.4.2 KitKat under HTC's Sense UI 6.0. The 5.5-inch Super LCD2 screen gives you a decent amount of room for browsing and video, and dual SIM support means you can juggle two numbers on one device.
Camera-wise, you get a 13 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 1080p video at 30fps, plus a 5 MP front camera for the era's selfie standards. HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim price in Malaysia starts from RM895. Storage sits at 8 GB internally, but microSD expansion up to 128 GB covers the shortfall.
The 2600 mAh battery is non-removable, and at 165g with a 7.9mm profile, it's built more for comfortable one-hand use than raw endurance. Stereo speakers with built-in amplifiers add a bit of extra punch for media playback, and it comes in Black or White.
