HTC Desire 820 Information:
HTC announced the Desire 820 as company's first 64-bit smartphone. This is a mid-range device, but it leans towards the high-end handset, so I guess you can call it an upper mid-range device. Its specifications are nothing to scoff at, quite on contrary, they're really good and the device looks rather nice. HTC decided to offer the Desire 820 in a bunch of different colors (which you can check out in the gallery down below) so I believe everyone will find something suitable. Keep in mind that this is a phablet basically, it's not exactly that compact considering that 5.5-inch display on the front and bezels on the top and the bottom of this device.
HTC Desire 820 features a 5.5-inch 720p (1280 x 720) display along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via MicroSD card up to 128GB). The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 64-bit octa-core processor (four 1.5GHz cores and four 1GHz cores) which comes with an Adreno 305 GPU. 13-megapixel camera (f/2.2 lens) is located at the back of this device while an 8-megapixel shooter can be found up front. Android 4.4 KitKat comes out of the box with this device with HTC's Sense 6 UI on top of it. 2600mAh non-removable battery ships with the device as well. 157.7 x 78.7 x 7.7mm are this handset's measurements and it weighs 155 grams.

HTC Desire 820 Editor Rating:
It seemed odd HTC decided to announce this device as their first 64-bit smartphone. I would assume they'd want to make a top-notch offering and release it with a Snapdragon 815 chip or something that. Don't get me wrong, the Desire 820 is a really, really capable device. If you don't mind the size and the fact that the screen is only 720p, which is somewhat low resolution if you considering we're talking about a 5.5-inch screen here. Still, even despite that, this is a great offering by HTC and assuming you can get it for a decent price, it's a good deal.
