                  With lot of studying analysation bought 826 from India. The very first day I could took only two photos. Then the camera crashed. Today is my first day with this set and lost all the faith. As per HTC India cc Tried factory reset both soft and hard. Nothing happened. The error message is camera stopped unexpectedly.... Friends think thrice before buying this so-called great phone....

                    Does 826 heat up badly like its elder brother 820 ? Cause I have experienced upto 50 degree Centigrade of heat after playing Asphalt 8 just for 7 minutes on 820 and which I think is a very strong drawback for a phone of such kind. Even on turning on the cam, it heat's up like hell. I'm looking for gaming reviews on 826 but I'm not able to find any :( . Guys who have any views on the heating issue , please do post it here. And 820 looks more matured than 820 gud to see that though :)

                        The HTC Desire 826 will definitely be a good choice for those who are interested in gaming. 13 MP camera, Octa-Core processor, Adreno 405 and LTE enabled. Best of all (according to me), Lollipop out of the box. Who could say no to this phone?

                        Other than that, I guess the Huawei Ascend Mate7 can come up for a brawl against the Desire 826. Although the Desire 826 is better in many ways, the competition could be tough.

                        Hope this phone comes soon in Pakistan.

                                    lol love these Apple freaks in how everyone copies Apple yet it's reverse, the iPhone 6 is a complete knock off of the HTC M8 only way you can tell them apart excluding logos is the camera placement other wise they are almost identical including the 2 tone strips. Yet the M8 was out years before the iPhone 6. Now the Desire series are budget phones and so are limited on camera placement while maintaining it's over all structure integrity since plastic is a soft material prone to flexing. They are using the 2 ton colour also and the closest thing to temp is the iPhone 5C but they are mono tone so completely different and they don't have the strips so nothing like the iPhone.

                                    I forgive you tho cause clearly you are using braille since your eyesight is so poor.
