There could be intro paragraph describing the appearance and allusions. But no. Let’s leave it to the conscience of your imagination. October 8, 2014, HTC introduced its first portable Weatherproof Camera for active shooting all around. What makes it stand out among the other cells except the unusual shape, learn under the cut.

Let’s start with the name. HTC Re – a very short and concise title, to-Re-e. Inconspicuous, unlike appearance. What do you think, good name? Or naming subtly hints at the brevity of the camera? The handset has no display, no viewfinder. Only large chrome key to which your thumb and with which you can take photos or start filming if hold button, another button for video recording 120 fps at a resolution of 720 p, and the indicator. If glows red – camera while shooting video if blue – record slow-mo video.

As stated by the developers themselves, the camera is not a “replacement” or rival GoPro. It is designed to facilitate the recording of daily photos. For fun or self create home video archive. It can not be turned on or off by force. Indeed, in the HTC Re installed sensors that determine that the camera is in the hands and the camera is ready at any time to start shooting. So the camera is not only always ready to shoot, but also the reasonable costs battery. Capacity of 820 mAh, which should be enough for a little more than a thousand pictures or video polutorochasovoe. Perhaps we’ll see a full-length film shot on HTC Re? Or at least a short film?

Camera HTC Re has 16 MP and shoots video in FullHD resolution, and slow-mo – in HD. Wide-angle lens, fixed focus, which means no macro. Plastic housing, threaded tripod mount, waterproof, only 30 minutes and to a depth of one meter. As for ease of use, the camera can be synchronized with your smartphone on Android or iOS on Wi-Fi. In HTC Rememory card is inserted, which can be stored footage. It remains only to convince users juzat namely HTC Re posednevnoy in life, and not protected smartphone and its camera.

Earth, as we know, revolves around the sun, and while on one side the people peacefully snuffle in their beds, on the other may well take some significant event. For example, while you were sleeping last night, in New York hosted the presentation of HTC, where the company showed the world their new products. Than rich Taiwanese – find under the cut.

HTC Desire EYE

The most significant event of the presentation can be called a representation of HTC Desire EYE. This is something from the company did not wait long and here it finally happened – the 5.2-inch smartphone with FullHD-screen resolution, operating at 801 Snapdragon processor with a 2GB of RAM, and most importantly, the 13-megapixel camera! To be precise, even with two 13-megapixel cameras. Yes, that’s right, and the main and front cameras have one resolution of the matrix – and it’s great!

The design is reminiscent of that of the also recently launched Desire 820, at least if we look at smartphones, “from the back” – the same two-tone body. Front same Desire EYE looks even better. Lovers of juicy sound can zaperezhivat: “where is the front speakers?”. But do not worry, they are here on the ground, hidden under a black frame screen and contrasting white frames.

5.2 inches in our time – it is a very compact device. However Desire EYE so call does not go out, its dimensions are 151.7 x 73.8 x 8.5 mm, and weight – 154 grams, which is slightly more than the Sony Xperia Z3, for example. The reason for that, unfortunately, is not ample battery whose capacity is only 2,400 mAh battery, and probably all the same module in the front of the camera. In addition, the smartphone is protected by standard IPx7 (30 minutes under water at a depth of a meter), which also requires a slight increase in size.

However, it’s worth it, because the smartphone’s camera – it is the main feature, for which he must be willing. They, by the way, not exactly the same, both have a 13-megapixel matrix and dual LED-flash support both HDR and can shoot FullHD-video, but the main camera has a wide-angle sensor technology to support the rear lights and 28mm lens with an aperture of f / 2.0, and the front – 22 mm lens with an aperture of f / 2.2.

HTC Desire EYE should start selling in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia since October. Price on it is not voiced, but according to the French resource Nowhere Else, it will be 529 Euro.

HTC Re

Well, we have come to HTC smartphones with “human” camera is not bad. You can even think that the company is aware of all your mistakes and now took up the head … But do not be in such a hurry, as if a head does not have to take us, because the second device shown now, become action-camera Re.

What can you say about the design of this device? Well, it’s periscope red, white, turquoise or dark blue to choose from, with a button under the “eyepiece” and something of a mirror in the area of ​​the bend “pipe”. Why the camera should look like? Who knows, these Asians?

Weight is 65.5 grams of Re, so carry it with you should not be difficult, unless, of course, exclude the moral and psychological side of the question, there is a fear that people will think about you.

If you come to the device from a purely technical side, this 16-megapixel camera with 146-degree wide-angle lens and an aperture of f / 2.8, which is capable of recording FullHD-video at 30 frames per second. It also can record in slow-mo and time-lapse, apparently, the video is slowed down to 4 times a resolution of 720p. The camera, by the way, there is no flash.

All images are recorded on a microSD-card included with the camera is an 8-GB memory card, but it can be increased up to 128 GB. Re battery is 820 mAh, which should be enough for 1,200 photos or 1 hour and 40 minutes of recording video at 1080p.

The camera can work in tandem with devices on Android 4.3 and above, as well as iOS 7 and above. In order for them to connect, provided modules Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi.
