HTC Desire Eye E1 16GB White/Red. GSM Unlocked. US Version (13MP Front & Rear Camera)

I've been an HTC fan for ever since the days of my HTC Evo. I presently own an HTC One M8. So, I may be a little biased.I bought the HTC Desire Eye E1 for my mother-in-law based on my previous experience with HTC and her limited budget. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the phone. I wasn't expecting "junk" by any means, but it was a much better value than I expected.The device feels sturdy and rugged. Additionally, it is aesthetically pleasing and has some really nice features over many other phones. One thing that sets this device aside from others is the front and back camera are both 13MP. This is a great feature for budget conscience social media enthusiasts. Also, if you're a little klutzy around the dinner table, this phone is water resistant as well. (I didn't test that out. I'm fairly certain mom-in-law will "field test" that feature soon enough.) I was a little hesitant about the 16GB ROM; however, you can configure the phone so all pics, movies, voice recordings, downloads, etc. are stored on the Micro SD by default. (Note: Not all apps can be moved to SD storage.)This phone performs well and has a good, clear picture for movies, games, etc. (I had to test it out for my mother-in-law.) The phone also has pretty decent sound quality as well.Overall, I'm very pleased with this phone. HTC Sense with Lollipop provides a good experience out of the box. Now, my wife and daughter want one also. And, hey! For $200, I can actually afford it.UPDATE: I purchased this phone for my wife shortly after I purchased the original. I just recently purchased the same for my daughter. My wife and daughter both love this phone.

Really good phone! The benefits are truly amazing! And IT'S UNLOCKED LIKE THE ADVERTISEMENT SAYS.Watch a youtube review for all it's PRO's and CON's. And when you search for the specifications and frequency bands, search for the AT&T version of the phone, that's the one being sold...In my personal experience with the product, just had some cons...Cons:- Didn't bring earphones.- Battery last 1 day of not using it that much.- 16GB of internal memory, with almost 9GB useful...- It's AT&T VERSION: * FULL OF AT&T APPS (not able to erase them without root or another rom). * Interface dedicated to AT&T. The phone is still useful and everything, but might be an unconfortable start if you don't want a thing with AT&T... * Still hasn't being updated to android 6.0.1, and kind of need it...- Personal stuff: * Bigger than i thought: This was my bad, but check it before you buy. * To venezuelan people, Digitel will only give you EDGE. Movistar will let you go full 4G. I misread in my search and now have to change my number... Would've bought other phone to keep my Digitel service, or expanded my search without caring about frequency bands...Even with all that stuff behind, I'm pretty satisfied with my new phone. :)

I ordered a case at the same time I ordered this phone. Every now and then I could not help taking the phone out of the case to admire the look and built of the phone. With the IPX7 dust and water resistant, this phone by far is the best of all I have used, I refunded the other HTC phone I had because of some overheating issues, and got this one instead. This phone is really dust proof and fingerprint proof. It has a matte feel to the phone thus do not attract fingerprints like the glossy plastic body. It has a clear crisp display and very visible under the sun as well. I am a fan of IPS touch display phone instead of AMOLED display, because i owned phones with AMOLED displays and they just make my eyes so uncomfortable. I love the functionality in the phone. There were some HTC preloaded apps but they are not annoying and are actually useful. I do not like when a phone comes with all pre-installed apps which take up so much space and cannot be removed. I love the Blinkfeed feature which keeps me up to date with news around the world. This phone is labelled as the 'ultimate selfie phone', but I am not really a selfie fan. The camera is decent but a little under-performed especially in indoor setting. HTC phones does not skimp on one feature in order to boost another feature and it is an all-around phone. When you pay so much for a phone you would expect so much from HTC. Good phone, no complaints!

I really love this phone. I changed over from a Galaxy 3 to this one. It takes a little getting used to but I am very pleased with the functionality of it and the battery seems to last for days and days compared to my Galaxy. I haven't had any issues with overheating or freezing up. I really like having battery saving mode. I don't even know if the Galaxy had that feature but this one was easy to access and that alone is awesome. If you want to change your fonts, you need to download news one. Not much choice on the phone itself. The cameras are very cool. I love have a flash and 16mp front and back both. Also able to do a split screen picture. It seems I find new little things everyday. I guess if you have any HTC phone prior you already know these things but coming from a Galaxy, it has a small learning curve. Overall, I'm impressed.

I got tons of compliments while using this phone. The main one being "What case do you have?", only to surprise them by saying "It's not a case, it's the phone." Also have gotten several "How is your phone that thin?"It's easy enough to use, and durable! I have butter fingers and have dropped this countless times. Only a few marks on the plastic sides are noticeable. I've dropped it screen down on a parking lot too and there wasn't so much as a scratch on the glass.After a year of using it, Google Maps crashes the phone when you open it. You have to do a forced power down to gain control again, as it completely locks up. The camera started to do that as well after a while, but it's rare. AT&T had no idea how to solve that problem, and a factory reset didn't fix it either. So I just manage without GPS.Other than that, I highly recommend this phone!
