Amazing phone, especially for the price
Phone owned for less than a year

Very nice phone. Anyone who has owned this device will know that you're getting a pretty good bang for your buck. It runs all modern apps and games perfectly. Having access to Android L is also a plus. I've had this phone for 11 months at the time of writing, and have never had a problem. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a decent phone, but is also on a budget. 10/10

htc desire 816 4g lte orange (unlocked)
Phone owned for less than 3 months

£179.95. I paid for the phone. If I am reviewing by rating each section, it's based by comparing the above mentioned price range. The only reason I have replaced my previous LG G2 with this new device is because of the richer audio experience through speakers and foremost headphones.
