HTC Desire 616 Vs The rest of the Octa-Core smartphones

htc desire 616 octa coreHTC Desire 616 is the first true Octa Core smartphone from HTC. And it’s not that expensive either. It cost only 16,900 Rupees. Looking at the previous track record of HTC. They are used to launch such phones at much higher price than this. They said that HTC Desire 616 is aimed specifically at Asian markets. And price is the most important factor here. So they are doing something right at least.

I am going to compare HTC Desire 616 with rest of the Octa-Core smartphones that cost more or less around 20,000 Rupees. Except for the Octa-Core processor the rest of its specs are nothing special though, maybe that explains the price.
