HTC Desire 616 dual sim battery test

The HTC Desire 616 dual sim has a large 5″ screen, eight CPU cores and two SIM cards – add those up and you’d think the phone needs a big, beefy battery. Except HTC decided that 2,000mAh should be enough.
How did that work out? Well, the endurance rating is good enough but that big screen and octa-core CPU really take their toll.
In terms of talk time the Desire 616 dual sim does okay, not great but okay. You have to keep in mind that this isn’t a dual-active phone so while one SIM card is in a call the other gets deactivated. So for purposes of calling it might as well be a single-SIM phone. To see what’s possible check out the dual-sim Moto E, which goes nearly four hours longer on the same battery capacity.
