HTC have just announced their latest smartphone. Dubbed the HTC Desire EYE, the device features a 5.2-inch full 1080p display. A Snapdragon 801 chipset with 2.3GHz quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. If the name isn’t already a giveaway, HTC are putting some real effort behind imaging with this device. The rear facing camera sports a 13MP BSI sensor with 28mm lens, f/2.0 aperture and dual LED flash. The front facing camera also features relatively massive 13MP BSI sensor with 22mm lens and f/2.2 aperture. The front facing side of things also includes dual LED flash as well. Both cameras support 1080p recording and HDR capability.

The design includes IPX7 for 30 minutes at 1 meter depth of waterproofing. HTC also continue to include dual front-facing speakers with HTC BoomSound™. Measurements and weight come in at 151.7 x 73.8 x 8.5mm and 154g. Other specs include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi a/b/g/n (2.5GHZ and 5GHz) NFC, and 4G/LTE support. Battery wise, we’re looking at a rather low 2,400mAh. Standard storage capacity at 16GB with MicroSD slot for up to 128GB support.

Availability for the HTC Desire EYE starts this October with region specific launches rolling out onwards.
