What sets this phone apart is the camera setup: a 13MP rear and 13MP front shooter, both with autofocus and dual-LED flash. That's unusual even now, and it made the Desire Eye one of the more selfie-focused phones of its time. HDR works on both cameras too, so you're not stuck with a compromised front lens like most phones offered back then.

Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 801 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, a combination that handled Android KitKat comfortably. The 5.2-inch full HD display hits 424 ppi, sharp enough for text and video, and storage runs 16GB internal with microSD expansion up to 128GB if you need more room.

HTC Desire Eye price in Malaysia starts from RM1199. Battery capacity is a modest 2400 mAh, but the body carries IPX7 certification, so it survives a dunk in water up to a meter for half an hour. It comes in Blue, Red or White, and connectivity covers NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and LTE Cat4 for faster data.
