Design-wise, the Desire 826 is not too different from the HTC Desire EYE (which was introduced several months ago), though it’s a bit larger and heavier, measuring 158 x 77.5 x 7.9 mm, and weighing 183 grams.
We’ve yet to find out when the Desire 826 will be released. We must mention that the handset is currently featured on HTC US’ official website, though this doesn’t necessarily mean it will be available Stateside. What’s certain is that the smartphone will be launched soon in China.

At least it's still a decent performer as a selfie camera.

4mp ultrapixel for the front camera is hella great, I think. It's not even half bad.

Is this a replacement for the Desire 820 or like a mid-release refresh?

This is a cheap & larger version of Desire EYE, or just basically a Desire 820 with FHD display.

I think i see it. It's actually identical to the Desire 820 (which is also FHD), but it uses the 4MP "ultrapixels" front camera instead of an 8MP front camer (Desire 820).
Also, it's natively running Lollipop instead of KitKat.
I would love to see this come to the US market

Another overpriced unit from HTC. Sell this for $200-$250 and this will be a sure hit.

$299-$349 seems perfectly reasonable. It's a FHD screen with a 13MP camera and a VERY competent SD615. I would easily pay $349 for this.

HTC has made a mess by selling overpriced junks in many regions except US/Taiwan. And look at their portfolio. Looks like they would sooner use all numbers from 1 to 1000 after using all the alphabets and their combinations.

Whatever, but camera wise this should have been the One M8. Anyways price it correctly.

Huge bezels! But, it has a great specs, this is a real midranger nowadays. 4mp ultrapixel is not bad at all for front camera.
