Many compromised made to have a flexible curved display units meant it was…

New iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 are out and here is my take on it.

So Apple released much awaited iPad refresh yesterday night. We have all new iPad Air 2 and not so new iPad Mini 3.

Lets take a look at iPad Air 2 first as this is the actual upgraded iPad.

The first obvious thing is the thinness of the device. Apple is hell bent on making iPads as thin as possible as they have made the new iPad Air 2 only 6.1mm thin. Making it the thinnest iPad yet and thinnest…

We have seen some weird and bokers phones in the past, we have seen selfie centric phones in the past, but none has been this obviously designed to do 1 thing, take quality selfies when compared to newly announced HTC Desire EYE.

HTC Desire EYE places everything secondary. You get not one but two 13 MP Sony IMX214 sensors. One on the front bang in the middle of the top bezel, and other on the back. Both sensors are coupled with dual tone flash we saw with HTC One M8. Unlike other selfie centric phones, HTC Desire EYE does not compromise on the specifications. This is out and out high end phone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC. Phone has 5.3″ Full HD Screen, 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal memory along with SD Card slot for all those high resolution selfies. The processor is 2.3Ghz varient which is probably there instead of 2.5Ghz version to improve the battery life you get from relatively mediocre 2400mAH battery.

From the pictures you see above, it is hard to imaging, but the phone keeps stereo boomsound speakers which are now well disguised and hard to see even in real life. But HTC has kept them and added IPx7 certification to the handset making it dust and water resistant. To keep the weight down, HTC has opted for plastic shell like Desire 816 and Desire 820.

Overall, it is a solid flagship class device. But like HTC one E8, there are some compromises. You lose the premium Aluminium build and 802.11ac. And HTC is still keeping that black band with HTC logo on the front side under the screen.

But other than these compromises, it is a good looking device with top shelf specifications. We do not have the price yet, but it will hit the shelf next month with other recently launched HTC Phones.

HTC Desire EYE is your ultimate Selfie phone. We have seen some weird and bokers phones in the past, we have seen selfie centric phones in the past, but none has been this obviously designed to do 1 thing, take quality selfies when compared to newly announced HTC Desire EYE.
