Nearly a year ago, HTC launched the Desire 816. This phone had a serious impact on the market, because it offered solid specifications and quality at a mid-range price. This was followed by the HTC Desire 820, another successful device with an impressive feature list. The Desire 820 was also one of the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm's 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC, and showed HTC's intent to win over the mid-range market.

HTC Desire 820s Summary

The HTC Desire 820s doesn't differ much from the Desire 820, except for the new Mediatek MT6752 SoC under the hood. This makes a massive difference in performance, with the Desire 820s offering excellent performance. It retains the things we loved about the Desire 820, including the decent camera set, the great looks and the dual front-facing speakers. The Desire 820s is HTC's answer to all of the invite-only and flash-sale smartphones that populate the mid-range. It's a smartphone that's easy to buy, easy to like and satisfying to use.
