The HTC Desire 616 is pretty but lacks power (pictures)

The HTC Desire 616 is a budget phone with dual-SIM card slots, so you can have personal and work SIMs, or a SIM for a nearby country. It's powered by a MediaTek octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz.

The phone runs the outdated Android 4.2.2 software, with HTC's Sense 5.5 UI on top -- also not the newest version.

The back is shiny happy plastic.

The Desire 616 has an 8-megapixel rear camera.

The camera has all the basics, including beauty mode filter and panorama.

It's 9.2mm thick, which is fairly chubby these days.

As well as dual-SIM slots, the phone has a removable 2,000mAh battery.
