We have selected all the specifications of the HTC Desire 820 and have listed them below.
The HTC Desire 820 was launched in November 2014. The smartphone comes with a 5,5 inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels.
Processor
This HTC is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939 64-bit chip with a 1,7 GHz Quad-Core + 1,0 GHz Quad-Core core distribution. One of the main benefits of an octa-core phone is that it can provide improved performance. Because it has more cores, an octa-core phone can handle more complex tasks and multitasking more efficiently than a phone with a lower number of cores. This can make the overall user experience more smooth and responsive, and can improve the phone's ability to run demanding apps and games.
Another benefit of an octa-core phone is that it can provide better power efficiency. Because the CPU can handle tasks more efficiently, an octa-core phone can use less power to perform the same tasks as a phone with fewer cores. This can result in longer battery life and improved energy efficiency.
This combination therefore gives a maximum power of an octa-core processor with 1024 MB RAM. With a thickness of 7.7 millimeters, the device is not too thick. This phone weighs 155 grams.
Camera
The Desire 820 has a 13 megapixel camera, it means that the camera is capable of capturing detailed images without the added cost and complexity of a higher megapixel count. This can be useful if you want to take high-resolution photos that you can zoom in on or crop without losing too much detail, but you don't need the very highest level of image quality. In general, having this amount of megapixels can provide a good balance of image quality and affordability. You can also use the 8 megapixel selfie camera for video calling, for example.
