While the Desire 816 may not be for everyone, I think HTC really made this device sit on top of mid range phablets. I personally find it a lot of a complete package compared to the Galaxy Mega and Xperia T2 Ultra which we also reviewed here on the channel. It's not the most perfect mid-range device especially when it comes to the build quality and camera but in my opinion this is worth a try or if you just want a backup phone or an entertainment device that you can just leave in your lounge.
