HTC Desire Eye is a dual 13MP camera built into the svelte frame. While the rear facing 13MP module is standard fare alongside its dual tone LED flash, it is the front facing module that is rather unique. The front unit gains the same dual-tone LED flash as on the rear unit and this gives it a whole new level of flexibility while shooting low light selfies or for that matter even while video calling. The shutter button located on the side of the camera doesn’t really offer much feedback but i suppose we’ll take something over nothing. Long pressing the button activates burst mode and as expected, the software will automatically choose the best shot of the lot.
More important though, the subjects in the frame display odd blotches and speckles despite there being none in reality.HTC really dropped the ball here by focusing on resolution and compromising on quality. A lower resolution but better front-facing camera would have certainly been appreciable than the sorry state of affairs here. Comes with various software features like Zoe, Split Capture, Pan 360, Photo Booth and a slew of filters, as well as face beautification. You can also click photos using voice commands, which actually work pretty well on the device. Both the cameras on the Desire Eye can shoot full-HD videos at 30ps.
