The application connects the phone with the camera over Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi.
Ī separate RE application supports smartphone devices with Android 4.3 or later and iOS 7 or later. Apart from a microSD card slot, the bottom of the device also includes a 6.4 mm ( 1⁄ 4 in) 20-thread tripod screw socket and a microUSB port for battery charging and data transfer. Videos and photos are recorded onto a microSD card inserted into the bottom of the camera, which supports a microSD card of up to 128 GB, but HTC provides an 8 GB card. LED lighting embedded in the button shows the status of the camera. Photos are taken by tapping on the button, and videos are taken by pressing and holding on the button. The capturing of videos and photos is done through the shutter button, a large silver button at the top of the device. Instead, it includes a grip sensor that allows the camera to be turned on by holding it in a hand. The HTC RE Camera does not include a power button.

The camera supports IP57 protection, with IPx7 protection while used standalone and IPx8 protection when used with a cap. The camera measures 96.7 x 26.5 mm and weighs 65.5 grams. The design of the HTC RE Camera has been described as "a tube that's bent on one end, slightly narrower than a roll of quarters" by Android Central, "more periscope than box" and "an upside down asthma inhaler" by Digital Trends and The Verge, and "a strange little thing that resembles an elbow of a pipe, an inhaler, a periscope, or who knows what else" by PhoneArena.
