Sound as it should be
Sound quality is an essential component of the smartphone, and should match the live experience. The HTC Desire 825 is Hi-Res audio certified and features HTC’s revolutionary BoomSound™ with Dolby Audio™ technology. Audio playback is 256 times more detailed, delivering four times the audio detail compared to CD quality and enabling you to hear richer, more dynamic sound the way artists and musicians intended.
Capturing the perfect shot

The HTC Desire 825 features an advanced 13MP rear camera designed to capture moments in exceptional quality again and again. And if the environment doesn’t offer optimal conditions for photos, the Desire 825 boasts BSI sensors, improving low light performance and increasing the amount of light captured. With the burst shot feature you can also freeze movement as you take dynamic images, and create professional looking landscape photos with sweep panorama. For rich and vibrant videos, the camera also shoots in 1080p resolution.
Memories are meant to last a lifetime and, with so many incredible images and videos, you need enough space to store them all.
