See the HTC Desire 626's smooth, low-cost looks (pictures)

The HTC Desire 626 sure comes together as a piece of hardware. It looks more polished than most phones of its price, and feels solid in the hand.

This white-and-navy shade I have has a pearlescent backing that gives it kind of a soft glow.

Together, the HTC Desire 626 and 626S come in six shades.

This flap obscures the SIM card tray and SD card.

Look closely at the volume rocker. That white accent around the button reveals HTC's typical attention to detail.

The 8-megapixel rear camera takes nice photos outdoors, and the 5-megapixel front-facing lens faithfully stands by for selfies.

A 5-inch display makes this Desire 626 a fairly large device, but its proportions seem more streamlined than, say, the Motorola Moto G (late 2015). Find out more about the phone -- including if you should buy it -- in CNET's full HTC Desire 626 review.
