The HTC Desire 816 is a mid-range Android smartphone destined for regions across the world, with the release rolling out from this month in China. There is already strong demand for this handset and we recently heard confirmation that it will also release in the UK. Before you decide whether to pre-order this phone you might be interested in checking out an HTC Desire 816 early look and overview on video.

This preview of the phone was taken at MWC in Barcelona so it does contain a lot of background noise, but it’s certainly worth a look to get a good idea of the phone. The YouTube video that we’ve placed below this article for your viewing pleasure comes from Ubergizmo and begins by showing the design and a hardware tour. The software in the sample unit was pre-production but when it releases it will sport the latest version of HTC Sense.

It goes on to discuss the camera set-up of the Desire 816, further specs and more, and offers some good close-up looks at the device.
