Features, Performance, and Reviews for the HTC Desire 825 16GB

HTC Desire 825 16GB 's size

The "HTC Desire 825 16GB" is 76.9mm wide, 156.9mm tall, and 7.4mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "HTC Desire 825 16GB", it weighs about 155.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

In giving an overall rating to the "HTC Desire 825 16GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

The "HTC Desire 825 16GB" has a 5.5inch screen. The smartphone has a large, impressive screen, which allows you to enjoy photos and videos to the fullest. It is also very good for writing business documents and doing other work.

The CPU performance of HTC Desire 825 16GB

The "HTC Desire 825 16GB" has a run-of-the-mill processing power of 1.6GHz×4(4.0-cores), so while you'll be able to play 2D games with ease, it's a little lacking for 3D games. Outside of games, the phone runs most things quite smoothly, but certain apps can cause a bit of slowdown.

The "HTC Desire 825 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

The overall operational speed of the "HTC Desire 825 16GB" rates as a mid-range smartphone. While you will probably not experience much sluggishness or lag with normal use, we recommend a phone at least one tier higher if you want to enjoy games or videos.

HTC Desire 825 16GB 's storage capacity

The "HTC Desire 825 16GB" comes with a 5.0MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.
