The HTC Desire 816 is the flagship of the HTC Desire family lineup. With a gorgeous 5.5" display, this phone is no slouch. The design features dual front facing speakers and well as anodized aluminum accents. Despite its size, the rounded edges and gloss back cover let it slide easily in your pocket or purse. This product was released in February 2014 and took about 8 months including follow-through to production.
