if selfies are your thing well this just might be the phone for you hey it's Josh of regard from Android Authority what's going on everybody and it's time to unbox and give my first impressions on it the 13 megapixel rear and front facing cameras of the HTC Desire i HTC Desire eye right here on the bottom let's go ahead and get that opened up and there we are nice and crisp with the plastic still on there and you can already see on the front that camera already has the larger size to it because it is the 13 megapixel front-facing camera that is there now get this out of the way and of course it has those 18 t colors right there basically the orange with the white I have to say it does look pretty good still the desire line now has this two-tone coloration to its frame and to its body that does make it look very attractive so when you get in the right colors this isn't too bad actually getting into the contents of the box we of course have a couple of QuickStart guides available get underneath here and we have the adapter for the micro USB charging cable the actual cable itself and that right there or the contents of the box for the HTC Desire eye for AT&T so let's go ahead and get the plastic off of here it looks like it's pretty easy just sliding the phone out of the plastic and that's pretty simple now we can talk about the actual device itself we do have this white on the bottom and on the top with the HTC bar and logo here on the bottom still but the screen looks like it has a pretty respectable bezel around its frame the size is actually pretty nice in order for you to have some nice handling in one hand on the side here are a couple of slots for you to put in a couple of cards the button layout is over here on the right side with the power button underneath the volume rockers and then the welcome addition of a dedicated camera button which is always great when it comes to the camera experience on a phone that's supposed to be good with its camera and the large hole up front at the top means that they 13 megapixel optics upfront or hard miss we do have the boomsound speakers but they are relegated to these very small slits on the bottom and on the top which I'll give you a closer look at in these shots right here but here we go we're just going to go ahead and power on the phone right now going through HTC Sense it looks like it has the nice simplistic look that HTC has put on there with all the functionality that you need let's open up a couple of apps and just take a look at the grid right here and it looks like everything is running pretty smoothly I mean HTC Sense has always been pretty smooth and with its enhancements and previous iterations the most recent iterations things I've started to look really nice it is one of the better Android iterations that we've seen in the market today HTC does a good job with their OS alright and let's get right into the camera now we have the rear-facing camera 13 megapixels that are available and like I said I'm going to show you some examples of the camera quality here in this initial unboxing and first impressions of course and just looking at the application we have some pretty simple interface elements here with just the buttons on the right side and of course these settings here on the bottom we can change the exposure compensation the ISO we can change the mode so that we can have a few extra ones right here there are a bunch we have the manual mode obviously and when we go over to macro mode but also the sweeping panorama the fast Full HD video capture some stabilization some anti shake which is more of a software type of implementation slow motion video as well which we're going to take a look at in the full review again and I'll probably do a camera shootout on this as well so just go back to auto and let's take a look at some of the modes so here are the modes that are available on the desire camera of course selfie split capture which will allow you to use both of the cameras in tandem photobooth which is going to be a nice thing to use and after that Pan 360 but let's just jump into the selfie and take our first self-portrait with this particular camera there you go 13 megapixels will allow for quite a bit of detail to be found inside of these photos but let's also take a few outside and you'll see them as we close out this videos so keep it tuned to Android authority for all of the best coverage including my future review of the HTC Desire eye yes the selfie game will be upgraded because of this particular phone and it's 13 megapixel front facing shooter and once you have the front facing shooter on lock you'll be able to take some high-quality photos with you you're friends with a wide-angle lens and we're going to see exactly how that looks in the real world when I take a look at it in a camera shootout and our full review keep it tuned here and drop us some likes on our videos and subscribe to our channel if you
