The editors didn't like
Too expensive
Doesn't yield great snaps
Syncing issues between RE and companion app an annoyance
Suffers from significant shutter lag at times
Lowlight performance fails to impress
Photographs are lacklustre
Autofocus is hit-and-miss
Connectivity issues with app
There is noticeable shutter lag. Its video and photo quality aren't significantly better than a smartphone and audio quality is poor. Its battery isn't user replaceable or removable. Its shape is great for holding
But the body is a bit slippery
Battery life
Tricky pairing depending on device
No flash for night photos
I would like to see a battery kill switch on the device instead of it being in the smartphone app.
The HTC Re is a device I want to like. I want to laud innovation, and this little camera is certainly that. But can HTC start a new product category? It's too expensive - I get that it needs to be to reach the premium performance level, but it's not even...
Small enough to carry in your pocket, Wide-angle lens takes in a lot, Water-resistant and hardy, Really easy to use
Image and video quality not good enough, Some connection and app issues
Despite the fact that our phones take better pictures, we keep finding ourselves using the RE to take quick snaps instead. If HTC can improve the image and video quality in a sequel then it could be a real winner. Limitations and software niggles aside...

The HTC RE is a great camera for shooting images and videos where you do not want to separate out the subject. You can shoot city life or vehicles moving etc. where you do not need to separate out a single subject, this camera can do wonders in such scena...
Abstract: On first glance, the HTC Re seems to be a very odd sort of device. It is shaped a bit like a submarine periscope or a breath inhaler. It is however, actually a camera and a very powerful one at that – it comes with a 16.0-megapixel CMOS Sony sensor, with...
User friendly design, Camera can capture lot of details, even slow motion videos, Water proof
Fixed Focus
The HTC RE is a simply fun to use camera. Ofcourse it cannot replace DSLRs or point-to-shoot cameras or the best camera smartphones available these days. But it is creative and a unique device.First Published : Friday, January 09, 2015 - 14:39Related Stor...
The camera quality could have been better. It definitely has an advantage when compared with a smartphone camera in term of draw speed on mobile you need to press the power button, unlock and then tap camera button or unlock directly to camera; now with...
Great ergonomics, Fuss-free operation, IP57 certified
Video recording quality isn't good, Too expensive, Lack of OIS
We laude HTC's efforts to innovate and create a fun, unique device that could evolve into a niche of its own. The industrial design of the RE is a perfect blend of good looks and supreme ergonomics. However, there are a few of flaws that HTC needs to addr...
Imagine a phone with a detachable camera that will let you mount the lens on a helmet, with the phone safe in your backpack or, better yet, at home. Imagine a regular phone with a water-proof camera. For all we care, someone at HTC may have been imagining...
