HTC BoomSound, now even more engaging with Dolby Audio
HTC has raised the bar for mobile audio once again with the HTC Desire 826, bringing truly immersive HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio1 surround sound to the phone.
HTC is the first smartphone company to combine dual front-facing stereo speakers, a finely tuned sound profile and Dolby’s decoding technology to deliver an end-to-end multi-channel audio solution. The package also includes an audiophile-grade headset that is carefully tuned for HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio, delivering the cinematic surround sound experience wherever you are2.
Incredible sound deserves a brilliant screen, so the HTC Desire 826 offers a vivid, 13.97 cms (5.5 inch) Full HD 1080p display that brings cinematic quality to your mobile world and means that those instantly streamed or downloaded tracks and movies have never looked better.
Capture, Share and Cherish the Best of ‘Me’

When taking a photo with the back camera, you want “me” to be part of it to truly capture your personal moment. HTC’s Split Capture combines photos and videos taken on the front and back cameras into one split-screen image or video.
