24-bit Hi-Res audio advantage

As the leaders in mobile phone sound, we’re pleased to feature certified 24-bit Hi-Res audio – better than CD quality – with the HTC Desire 825. Its high fidelity audio enables your music to realise its potential.

24-bit sound is so good that normal earphones can’t do it justice, so we developed HTC Hi-Res Audio Earphones.* Made with a new acoustic design and quality components, they generate richer and louder sounds across twice the frequency range (10Hz – 40kHz).

^* Sold separately, please check with an authorised retailer or operator for availability.

When it comes to capturing magic moments, the HTC Desire 825 has you covered front and back. Share the best you with a 5MP selfie camera featuring Live Makeup, Voice Selfie and Auto Selfie. Capture clear photos and FHD videos with a 13MP main auto focus camera with Photo Editor for your own creative effects. Plus, you’ll get FREE unlimited cloud storage* for all your photos and videos with Google Photos.
