The HTC One M8 is the latest flagship smartphone from the company while the Desire 816 is a mid-range handset that is also attracting plenty of interest. Both are recent arrivals to the market and today we have an HTC Desire 816 vs. HTC One M8 video comparison for your perusal, where the verdict may surprise you.
