Design and Build
The HTC Desire 816 boasts a sleek design with dimensions of 156.6 x 78.7 x 7.9 mm, making it comfortable to hold despite its large screen size. Weighing in at 165 grams, it strikes an ideal balance between lightweight portability and a sturdy, premium feel. Available in several colors—Black, White, Red, Gray, and Green—the device offered a touch of personalization for users. The phone's polycarbonate body was attractive at the time, although it didn't match the modern appeal of metal or glass finishes that have become common today.
