What this hardware actually means

Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.

Platform & performance positioning

The htc HTC Desire 816 dual sim reports its platform as Snapdragon 400. The CPU configuration is 4-core, Cortex-A7, running up to 300 - 1593 MHz. The GPU is Qualcomm Adreno (TM) 305. Without a confirmed SoC tier mapping for this platform string, we treat the device as unverified. If you're using this entry to compare against a phone you're inspecting, focus on the raw fields below rather than tier-level conclusions.

Day-to-day workload

1.5 GB of RAM is tight for 2026 standards — usable for the basics but limits modern app behavior. Display resolution is 1280x720.

This record reflects Android API level 21 (5.0). Android 7 or older — effectively retired; very few modern apps will run, and Google Play Services support is limited.

Trust & buying notes

Because this entry runs Android 5.0, treat it as a reference for older inventory: refurb shops sometimes flash old firmware to make a device look "stock," so a modern build date with this API level is a red flag.
