this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com what's up everyone John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo here than unboxing of this guy the desire eight one six you're playing yourself John it's clearly out of the box we've got a crazy for this experiment going on right now we've been boxed this back in time actually I filmed the unboxing and then throw in the intro but I like my crazy back in time explanation better let's go ahead open it up and see what it looks like so here is the box for the HTC Desire eight one six think of this is the HTC One m8 plastic kid-brother it's got a lot of the goodness but a little bit of a different body so this is probably not coming to the US since international phone available in international markets with a ton of different networks so there is 4G LTE connectivity but certainly if you want to pick one of these up you're gonna want to make sure that's going to work in your region so typical HTC bucks it's white it's kind of thin and it looks like a rectangle let's go ahead and bring in the unboxing scissors of doom and cut this sucker open and see what this looks like I like the last generation desires I think HTC really does actually nice job with some of their plastic design phones although certainly I prefer the aluminum feel of the HTC One m8 which will bring it in a minute I do a comparison with will run through all the specs on the desire each one six go ahead and open this up in our gadget striptease here man in a in it boom that just I think I should just make it rain on the phone so here is HTC Desire eight one six with a pretty nice 5.5 inch screen so bigger screen that we see on the HTC One m8 those were going to have in the box you're going to have I don't know what those are me those are NFC tags but there's stickers of some sort HTC desire paperwork paperwork got a wall charger sync and charge cable and then HTC standard headphones that we've seen in most other phones but that is not overly exciting if I'm wrong and you guys want to make sure I show all the headphones and stuff and other unboxings letting me know and I'll do that please for me it's all about the phone so here is HTC desire eight one six well slide it out of that package boom Wow it was really nice it's got a like a polycarbonate plastic feel it feels very similar to the Nokia Lumia lines it's not sort of removable back plastic that we've seen on Samsung phones it's sort of more that unibody type design so let's see if it's got enough power in to turn it on if I can find a power button which sort of oddly now lives on the left side device before he gets all the good stuff about the desire eight one six let me thank our friends and sponsors just good people at lynda.com at Lynda what they why they offer thousands and

it's 720 by 1280 if you can do math really fast you know that is 267 PPI certainly below the 1080p of its Big Brother powering it is a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 400 chip it's an 801 on HTC One so it's you know 401 snapdragons better so it's still a very capable processor it's a quad-core processor it's clocked at 1.2 gigahertz it'll certainly get you through anything that you need to do it's got eight gigs of RAM on board here as well it also has a microSD card store she can go up to 64 gigs on there if you want to get your external storage on so know what you're gonna say to yourself self the HTC One has an ultra pixel camera what's on the back of this guy this is just plain old megapixels and it's got 13 of them crammed in there of course you've got the flash on the back as well there's a 5-megapixel selfie camera living right there on the front keeps you want to take them selfies 802 11 a B G and n Bluetooth 4.0 2600 milliamp hour battery is sealed in here something about getting to it it's got a really nice weight to it 165 grams or 5.8 to balance is available in a ton of colors black blue gray green red and white let's go ahead and take a look at the settings and you can see what else we are going to have on board I'll go to settings go down to about and we can see what we've got to go to software information and see what's here so it's running HTC Sense 6.0 so another six cents phone Android version 4.4.2 so the latest version of course it's KitKat and I always love doing this does go give me KitKat not gonna work that's too bad double tap sometimes you will get kick at so let's do a quick tour of the device on the left hand side volume rocker up and down pretty common see at all time no big deal but weird power button living on left-hand side it's gonna have to train your thumbs to not do this and start kind of reaching around and it's a 5.5 inch phone I've got larger hands I can't really see it being an issue trying to get your finger in there to lock it I say I miss it to lock it and then unlock the phone so we'll be aware of that and we'll sort of see how it works when we start doing our tests strangely really nothing here at all take you to a little removable door actually to get to there's your SIM card and your SD card slot is gonna live in there push that back on haven't seen something that big HTC phone 3.5 millimeter headset jack right there microphone and then of course we've got the boom sound s speakers on the top and bottom and on-screen buttons which will merge and morph depending on what you're doing so I mentioned HTC One a lot let's go ahead and bring that guy in and see what these two look like side-by-side so certainly big size difference 5.5 and 5 inches so if by my keen mass kills that is half an inch difference I've got the aluminum and the plastic here it certainly you can pick what you what you prefer on the back of the phones oh look at that Marvell shield 104 kind of neat you'll see a difference there on the back as well so the plastic versus the metal I'm still prefer the metal but the plastic does feel really nice HTC has done a great job with that here we can stack them make a hand they can meet sweet love sweet phone love you get together they'll make what like a like a mini phone or dig a megaphone who knows what they'll make but it'll probably be pretty sweet so anyway here are the two of them just just making out you see the thickness different to no two of them nothing giant there anything you guys want to see you about b16 sure to let us know and we'll do some more coverage on if you guys are interested I'd love to hear your thoughts on it to create international phone to great traveling phones a great fun and funny to hear in the US if you just gonna get HSPA+ it could pop it in 18 G SIM card it's a Mobile SIM card you will be good to go if you live outside the US so check your network to make sure it's gonna support it make sure you don't get a phone when you're like oh John you said this one was great but I can't use it anywhere your face is dumb and stupid and I don't want you to get mad at me so check those things I know you guys hope you
