The HTC Desire 828 dual-SIM is a mix of modern camera hardware, great multimedia capabilities and excellent design. The device has a soft-touch back panel that gives it a sense of security while holding, whereas, the sides of the device have a smooth metallic feel to them.

The key feature of the HTC Desire 828 is its optically stabilised 13-megapixel primary camera. For those who don't know about OIS, it's a hardware feature that prevents shaky images occurred due to unstable hands while capturing the image. The HTC Desire 828 is the only smartphone device in its price category yet to feature the OIS. The OIS alone doesn’t mean that the HTC Desire 828 has great imaging, as it misses-out on some advanced focusing technologies like phase-detection or laser autofocus. The secondary camera on the HTC Desire 828 is a very rarely found 4-megapixel ultra-pixel unit, this ultra-pixel camera is proved to provide with better brightness in low-light indoor conditions.

The display on the HTC Desire 828 is a 5.5-inch IPS LCD unit with Full HD (1920x1080) resolution. The screen does not come with any protection to it. The user interface and user experience are the criteria where the devices from HTC have the edge over all the other smartphones in the market. It is mostly because HTC’s Sense UI has a very sophisticated and polished look, and it is also optimised to provide smooth UI graphics. The HTC Desire 828 dual-SIM ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.

On the connectivity front, the HTC Desire 828 comes with pretty standard features such as dual-SIM 4G LTE, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS with GLONASS, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microUSB v2.0 port.  The HTC Desire 828 dual-SIM houses MediaTek’s MT6753 octa-core chipset paired with 2GB of RAM, both of which result in trouble-free multitasking. Although, gaming will be the HTC Desire 828’s Achilles heel as the MT673 chipset has very low graphics processing capabilities. The device comes with 32GB of expandable internal memory. The hardware is backed by a 2,800 mAh non-removable battery.
