Jimmy Lin, a celebrity who posted an iPhone 6 photo earlier, posted a photo of a HTC phone this time. He said:”Just got a phone who is the first to have a Qualcomm octa-core 64bit CPU. It’s butter smooth. It has the kind of speed that any racer would be addicted to. Also there is a special feature I like very much about this phone. Guess what it would be?”

As far as we know, HTC Desire 820 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64bit CPU. It’s also likely to have a 5.5-inch 720p display, 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, a 8-megapixel font-facing camera, a 13-megapixel main camera, and a 2600mAh-power battery. We can think of it as an upgrade on Desire 816.

HTC have already said that Desire 820 will be released at IFA 2014. If everything goes well, it should be available in China after the announcement. And it’s likely to have the same price tag as Desire 816.
