Big screen HTC desire 816 practical first choice

A photo lover's dream. 13 megapixel main camera and a 5 megapixel front camera ensure high-resolution pics from either side. Capture moving HD images with built-in editing and sharing tools, and combine results for multiple-angle views. Incredible design, massive 5.5" HD display, front-facing stereo speakers, customized real-time info feeds, and a quad- core processor all make this one of the best value smartphones ever.

Well I've had the phone for a few days now. Coming off of a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a ripoff contract through Cellcom, I was leary at first but I watched and read a ton of reviews online before making the purchase, I became pretty confident and made the purchase, I'm glad I did. The S4 was hands down the best phone I ever had......had. This phone coming right out of the box had an enormous impression size wise  and I thought my S4 was big lol. The user interface that HTC has, very clean. It's taking some time to get used to, but it's nothing bad or difficult, just different. The screen resolution is on par with me, no visible pixels, plenty bright and very good color. The build quality is top notch, very nice design and material. One flaw though, as stated many times before in reviews, the back, it's glossy and a fingerprint MAGNET, very annoying. I suggest buying a case (good luck, very mediocre selection). The sound this phone produces through the dual front facing BoomSound speakers is PHENOMENAL. Watching movies, videos, and gaming is a treat and definitely worth bragging about. As far as how the phone runs, I'd have to say it's pretty fluid (smooth). I've gotten many compliments already about this phone, mainly about it's size (enter: that's what she said joke #2), and how nice it looks. For the price, this is by far the best phone you can buy. Almost a steal on Amazon. One more gripe, side button location. What the hell was HTC smoking when they decided to put the power AND volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Because of the size of the phone (even with my big hands) the reach convenience is killed. I will have to deal with it I guess. Have fun if you have small hands. Battery life, for the size, is pretty damn decent.
