Why the HTC Desire Eye has the best selfie camera
If you’re yet to use the front camera on your phone, or haven’t even heard of the word selfie (where have you been for the past year?!) then the HTC Desire Eye is about to change all that. And for those of you who are self proclaimed selfie addicts, today is a good news day, as HTC reveals its best selfie-snapper yet!
So what’s all the fuss about? Find out exactly why the new HTC smartphone is turning heads with its incredible selfie camera!
13 megapixel front camera
Let’s start with the obvious. The HTC Desire Eye sports a never before seen 13 megapixel front facing camera. Now your typical flagship phone has adorned a 13 megapixel rear camera for some time now, but HTC has gone where no manufacturer has dared to go, giving the Desire Eye a set of dual 13 megapixel lenses.
So not only can you say goodbye to all of those blurry, low quality selfies, but thanks to the Desire Eye’s dedicated shutter button on the side of the handset, you can also see the end of those finger-in-the-way-of-the-lens shots too!
Love taking selfies? Here are the best selfie camera features that we can’t live without!
HTC Zoe
Zoe is HTC’s built-in camera suite first spotted on the HTC One. However, HTC has really brought the feature to life on this new Desire smartphone, offering even more modes and apps than ever before.
HTC Zoe allows you to vamp up your photos, and selects the best of the bunch to produce its famous Highlights videos. With features such as panorama mode and split capture, you really can get creative with both your front and back cameras.
But learning about the back camera isn’t what’s exciting about the new HTC Desire Eye. In this case, it’s all about HTC Eye experience…
Voice Selfie
Voice Selfie pretty much does what it says on the tin. Rather than fumbling around with the physical capture button (which admittedly is still a handy feature for the rear camera), the Desire Eye lets you snap your shots using just your voice.
Simply say “smile” or “say cheese”, and the phone will instantly snap your selfies. This feature even works for video recording too: just shout “action” and your home movies will start rolling.
Photo Booth
Another super cool selfie feature of the HTC Desire Eye has got to be Photo Booth. Gone are the days when you and your mates used to pile into a real life photo booth on a Saturday afternoon; now you can lifelong snaps for you all to keep from the comfort of your own home! Simply snap away up to four different poses in every strip, and even add your own filters to give your photo booth shots a cool vintage effect.
Visual Effects
If you’re still not happy with your self portrait in spite of the Eye’s 13 megapixel lens and voice activated settings, then not to worry. With the phone’s in-built range of effects you can simply spruce yourself up a little.
With Live Make Up effect, you can just add a few embellishments to your mug shot to make sure you look picture perfect every time. No-one needs to know it wasn’t there in the original shot after all…
Crop Me In
Crop-Me-In is another feature, like Voice Selfie, which does exactly what its name suggests. If you’re on your own and want to capture yourself in front of a glorious view, snap the view and your face using the Eye’s amazing dual cameras at the same time. Then you can simply crop your selfie into the background using HTC’s clever editing tool.
Face Tracking
And the HTC Desire Eye’s front camera isn’t all about selfies either! With the new Face Tracking feature, the handset can let you video call up to four different people at once, ensuring that all of your faces are kept within the screen.
HTC Desire Eye Camera: the verdict
So there you have it, just a few reasons why the HTC Desire Eye is the best selfie camera on the market. With a 13 megapixel rear and front lens, plus all of HTC’s selfie features built into the device, it’s going to take something amazing to even come close to beating the Eye.
