13 megapixel camera, dual color temperature LED fill light, microphone
Wait a minute, I'm not talking about the back of a mobile phone, this is the front of a mobile phone. Yes, HTC's new Desire Eye. HTC boldly put these things that should be safe on the back of the phone on the front of the phone, regardless of the effect, but the gimmicks are full.

IPX7 level waterproof (under 1m deep water, no water ingress for 30min).
The body of Desire Eye is made of plastic and has two colors: gray blue and white red. Even with IPX7 waterproof capability, the 3.5mm headphone interface and MicroUSB interface of the body are still exposed, which is quite good. In addition, Other specifications of Desire Eye are full of flagship visual perception. Although the price of Desire Eye has not yet been exposed, HTC's consistent conscience shows that the price of Desire Eye should not be more expensive than One.
Appearance analysis:
Desire Eye The front of the BoomSound can hardly be more special - the 13 million pixel large front camera head is like the third eye of Erlang God on the front forehead, squeezing the distance between the screen and the frame to a full extent, and the BoomSound speaker is also very wrongly squeezed into a small gap between the black panel and the white panel of the screen, which is not a manufacturing defect.
Eye has a total of three microphones on the body, one at the bottom for making calls, which is easy to understand, while the other two are dedicated microphones for the remaining two cameras, because HTC feels that since it has given a camera with such high pixels, it is not a problem to give users an additional microphone to make video chat more comfortable.
The most direct consequence of this is that Desire Eye's circumference is not well controlled. The 151.7 x 73.8 x 8.5mm figure is even longer than the 5.5 inch LG G3. The thickness and width are similar to G3, and the 154g weight makes G3 feel inferior.
Desire Eye has IPX7 protection capability, but it can't be seen from the appearance. The exposed headphone port and data cable interface are really not like a waterproof mobile phone at all. However, the exposed interface also makes it easier to connect the computer or charge. There is no need to pick and pull on the waterproof cover.
Desire Eye finally has a physical shutter button. On the right side of the fuselage, after all, the capacitive screen cannot be controlled underwater, and there is a physical shutter button that allows users to take photos underwater. On the same side of the shutter button, there are also essential volume buttons and power buttons.
There are nanoSIM card slot and MicroSD card slot on the left side of the fuselage.
Desire Eye's screen is very good in terms of parameters. It is 5.2 inches 1080p, 423ppi, and has no obvious difference from its flagship ONE M8 in terms of direct appearance.
Camera function:
The rear lens of Desire Eye is a 13 million pixel F/2.2 lens with a wide angle of 22mm. When it is easy to get started, Desire Eye's imaging speed is very fast, and you can take photos quickly by pressing the shutter.
In addition, Desire Eye's camera also supports dual picture photography, allowing users to use both front and rear cameras to take photos or record videos in a split screen format.
In addition, there is a very interesting background synthesis function. Use the rear camera to capture the background, and then use the front camera to capture the face. The phone will automatically recognize the people and cut out the front portrait, and combine the back landscape into a picture.
The face blending function is to use the front camera and the rear camera to take a picture together. After the mobile phone automatically recognizes the face in the picture, the two faces will be blended into one face.
The new video chat function can track up to 4 faces in the picture and keep the faces in the center of the output picture. This function is very suitable for video chat.
At the press conference, HTC also said that some of the above functions will be pushed to existing HTC phones in the form of software updates in the future, which is good.
Camera proof:
In this beginning, we also rubbed HTC's free helicopter, so the samples in the air were taken through the helicopter window, which has a little impact on the image quality.
The front camera has a larger wide-angle end than the rear camera, so the field of vision is larger. In the same case, more objects can be photographed. But overall, the image quality of the front and rear cameras is similar. (The picture below is taken by the front camera)
Summary:
Today, when many manufacturers are looking for product differentiation, HTC has started to think about front camera. Of course, it is not enough to just improve the pixels, HTC has cleverly added a lot of tricks to its mobile phones. At the same time, it has learned from Sony to make its new products waterproof and dustproof, and further improve the playability of the mobile phones. Although Desire Eye and Butterfly 2 have abandoned the all metal body HTC is proud of, it is worth the price.
In terms of functions, Desire Eye is almost as good as the M8. The higher pixel front camera makes the video call quality of Desire Eye very excellent. The front dual color temperature flash can also enable users to better take self pictures or record videos for themselves in a dim environment. Maybe Desire Eye will become the standard configuration of YouTube celebrities in the future?
