Important weakness and goodness of HTC DESIRE 826 which comes with 5.5 inches LCD screen with good quality of material, although it is not use metal case, but solid plastic case is make the weight is not too heavy for long time hand hold. HTC DESIRE 826 have dual simcard GSM-GSM, but do not worry for external microSD because it still have dedicated slot for external microSD maximum 128 GB.
Other Pros and Cons summary of HTC DESIRE 826
- Main camera of HTC DESIRE 826 have 13 megapixel, if we are at very low light situations than using LED flash will help taking better photo. The front camera have two different models, for several type will use 4 Ultrapixel and for other type will use 13 megapixel camera, therefore we have to make sure which type that we want to buy.
- Drawback of HTC DESIRE 826 is still use Android Lollipop for factory default operating system, this OS already installed at this phone. But hopefully HTC will give firmware upgrade for Android Marshmallow, because some issue already give that information.
- If we are want to have good audio sound system at smarthone, then using HTC DESIRE 826 will give good sound quality output because it have Dolby sound system technology, especially when we connect it with good external sound system amplifier.
- Weakness of HTC DESIRE 826 is not have fingerprint sensor for improve security protections options, but we still can use alternative factory default security protections like screen lock pattern or password or pin protections.
- Disadvantages of HTC DESIRE 826 is not have NFC for data exchange or some other tools, especially when we want to use for electronic payment. However we still can use Bluetooth or Wifi for data transfer to other device.
- Non removable battery at HTC DESIRE 826 also make other demerits this phone battery is not too big at 2600 mAh for 5.5 inches LCD screen is fast to drain when we use LCD too much, using non removable battery make this phone can not have secondary backup battery. We have to use external power bank for battery backup.
