Taiwanese smartphone maker, HTC is reportedly planning to launch the recently unveiled Desire Eye and RE camera in India this week.
The company has begun sending out invites to select media houses for an event scheduled for 17 October in Mumbai.
Going by the title -'Double Exposure' on the invitation received by BGR India, HTC in all probability will launch the Desire Eye and RE Camera, because the New York City event held last week (9 October) too was named- Double Exposure.
HTC Desire Eye's main USP is its feature-rich front camera, which boasts of wide-angle 13.0-megapixel camera with 22mm lens, dual-LED flash, BSI sensor, f/2.2 aperture, HDR mode options and many more features.
The HTC phone's main camera also houses similar specifications sans a couple of features like 28mm lens and f/2.0 aperture.
Like its camera, HTC Desire Eye's other hardwares are also impressive. It sports 5.2-inch full HD (19020x1080p) display and inside, it is powered-packed with Snapdragon 801 series quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 2,400 mAh battery, which can run the phone for 20 hours of talk time and close to 538 hours under standby mode.
The oddly shaped HTC RE camera design seems to be inspired by the "Periscope". It boasts of high-resolution -16.0-megapixel camera with CMOS sensor, full HD (1080p) video recording ability, 146 degree wide-angle lens and slow-motion and time lapse recording ability, built-in instant-on grip detection and IPX7 certifications (waterproof cap enhances to IPX8).
