Camera
Desire 616 is equipped with a rear camera 8 MP resolution and a 2MP front camera, not low when considering the parameters for a product in a mid-range segment
Desire 616’s sense software suite is the older version (5.5) of the machine graphics application not be inheriting a simple interface, intuitive photo application on the mainframe and high-end HTC recently as Desire 816 , E8 and One M8. Desire 616’s photography software interface looks like the original of Google, confusing than on the Desire 816.
However, many custom machine supports fundamental to improving image quality such as exposure correction, white balance, sensitivity (ISO), color effects, shooting modes (auto, night, royal kissing, party), turn off electronic stabilization, image size (1, 5 and 8MP) and image size (4: 3, 16: 9). The common feature on today’s camera as continuous shooting (up to 99 images), HDR, face detection, smile shutter and beautify the skin also appeared.
Machine mode “Increasing the shot speed” and this mode is enabled by default. We have tried a number of photographs taken when this mode is turned off and not notice the difference, both the shot speed and image quality.
Desire 616 camera “Capture modes of life.” When selecting this mode, the machine takes about 10 seconds to create such a video clip below 6 seconds. Clearly not the real purpose of this feature, presumably to users save moments as video clips.
The phone has automatic tracking mode, tap and hold a moment when the subject on the screen, the machine will enable tracking the movement of the subject.
Speed capture and save images on Desire 616 was quite fast, only about half a second for each photo. 8MP Camera for Desire 616 the high-definition images on average, it is difficult to distinguish, the details are not important. Processing capabilities of the machine noise is acceptable, more photos only noise when shooting in low light conditions. The ability to capture the motion of the camera is not very fast, making the objects are moving in blurred photos easy. However with backlit photo, HDR mode brings improved quite markedly.
In the video recording capabilities, the Desire 616 for rotation with a maximum resolution of Full-HD, a rate of 30 frames / sec in 3gp file format. Images obtained with slightly lower resolution being considered in terms of the 8MP camera and brightness when shooting in indoor light and darker reality.
Software
Although the new product launches HTC Desire 616 is not in favor of the software aspect. The phone runs on the Android operating system version 4.2 and Sense 5.5 software, So missing some new features of Sense 6 as Do not disturb ,Kid Mode, Car Mode and HTC transfer tool – individual applications as needed can be downloaded from Google Play. The cause is probably due to the Desire 616 uses MediaTek hardware platform, not the hardware platform on Qualcomm familiar HTC products, therefore not focused software investments more.
Although the machines carry the Sense 5.5 interface, but many on the Desire 616 applications remain Google’s original interface. The most obvious feature of HTC’s interface is the BlinkFeed machine (composite applications from news sites including news, social networks) and tray application specific vertical scroll. Meanwhile, many parts of the Desire 616 is applied as the original interface of Google notification bar, custom fast setup, the setup screen (Settings), the camera application as mentioned, communication lock screen interface and multitasking screen.
Performance and battery life
HTC Desire 616 using 8-core processor of electronic brands also came from Taiwan (MediaTek) with 1.4 GHz speed, 1 GB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory and card slot to expand capacity. This configuration makes Desire 616 smooth operation of the common activities, from moving back and forth between the main screen, opens the basic application (calling, messaging, contacts, apps, camera), Full-HD movie viewing and game play graphics requirements at a high level like Riptide GP. Web surfing speed of the machine is fast (about 3-4 seconds to open the web page), smoother page scrolling.

Conclude
HTC Desire 616 is a mobile phone with nice design, configuration rather with a reasonable price. 5-inch screen size enough to bring a better experience when viewing photos, watching movies, but not too bulky to carry around. The screen viewing angles but not really good, but the ability to display color and contrast underlying impressive considering the price of the product range.
However, the Desire 616 has several limitations that should be noted buyers as small memory, Android OS version 5.5 and Sense old, average battery time and the battery is not removable battery. 8MP main camera image was not appropriate for the resolution of the machine but not a significant limitation in terms of product prices.
