it looks a lot like the HTC One m8 but it has a much more palatable price I'm Joe Levi with PocketNow and let's unbox the htc desire 816 let's go ahead and unbox this and cut through the shrink-wrap here and we will discard that and set it off to the side from here a little shake and the top it comes right off inside that we've got a very simple pull tab pull the device out of course we're going to set that aside while we look at the guts of the Box simple lift off we've got some stickers there for I don't know what a whole bunch of other manuals documentation stuff that is good information that we usually don't follow but you know it's there for us anyway nice micro USB cable we've got some basic headphones these are not the earbud style let me go ahead and open this up this so you can see it these are the old-fashioned kind that had a big grille on them some people like those more than the new buds that you have but nice flat cable which I really really like a lot because they are much less prone to tangle so if you don't like tangled head buds that's what you got and then of course we've got a nice USB charger this one of course does not have us-style prongs because this is not a u.s. style device but that's okay go ahead and put those to the side and get to what we're really interested in the desire 816 now first of all this thing is huge this is I would call it a phablet even though it's only got a five and a half inch screen let's go ahead and get this off before we do that though it's got some little places over here where it tells us where all of our fun stuff is so we've got our access doors over on the side so good to know go ahead and slide this out and unfortunately there is no screen protector on this so we're not going to do it he'll reveal like Michael Fisher would normally do but there we go first thing you're going to notice about this is a different headphone or speaker grills still has boom sound up front but much different these aren't the laser drilled holes that you see on the HTC One m8 but they are still very nice they're very pronounced got a nice camera up front HTC branding down at the bottom over on the side our power and volume up and volume down we're on the top we've got a speaker headphone jack moving around nothing on this side except for our big access door which we'll get to in a minute USB kind of off set down on the bottom interesting there and then the back very slick very shiny I'm already getting fingerprints on it it's kind of interesting because this is matte and kind of grippy and this is glossy and kind of slippery but you know it still looks kind of fun and that's about it so no replaceable battery on this so we're not going to go and open the inside but let's look inside this slot so inside this we have a nano SIM we have a micro SD and we have a blocked-off slot that's because this phone has an option if your manufacturer if you're a carrier rather wants you can have a dual SIM and that would go right in there but since this is a universal design for those who have that option and those who don't in our case ours doesn't have that extra slot so we can't do anything with it but it's there so they don't have to have a different tool out I'm going to head off to my local t-mobile store and pick up a nano-sim and I get this thing all going and start using it so I can let you know how it is thanks for watching make sure you like subscribe and of course share this video with your friends if you think they'd find it amuse for PocketNow unboxing the desire 816 I'm Joe Levi stay tuned for more something desire desire
