htc rocks

Dinesh Kambli (Dec 3, 2019) on Flipkart

htc desire 820 q is an awesome phone its camera is superb and secondary camera is 8 megapixel which is better than experia c3 which is only 5 megapixels , its graphics are stunning while playing games like asphault 8 , gt racing 2 it has amazing graphics . its music system is wow and if connected to headphones you can make yourselves deaf . it looks great and is very slim , its 5.5 inch screen is smooth and touch pad is very sensitive . i play with it for hours still it does not heats up like moto g . if your budget is below 25 thousand i recomend you to buy this insted of experia c 3 or moto g , lg g3 stylo .
