HTC RE Review – HTC’s take on the action cam

The Bottom Line

PROS

• Compact and portable
• Excellent image quality
• Long lasting battery
• Ease of use

CONS

• Poor low light performance
• Sub par video quality
• High price point

8.0
The RE is another attempt from HTC to branch outside of the smartphone market by changing the way we take photos and videos. The product itself is great, but for the price, they’re going to have to convince consumers that it’s worth every penny.
