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.

The teaser of 820 on Weibo by HTC has spread like fire in the jungle of smartphone market.  The teaser unveils the speed and power of the device. HTC 820 is going to be a fast device; it is quite predictable from the pictures of an Eagle, a Cheetah, a supercar and a rocket taking off in the teaser.

HTC, a Taiwanese giant, is a well established name in android smartphones.  HTC had already launched two main smartphone lineups in the market. One is an aluminum metal-based M8 and its all variants. Another range is of plastic Desire family of smartphones. There was no anticipation for a fresh flagship phone from HTC in the near future, but rumors are there that HTC will be launching a 64-bit Android smartphone at the annual IFA expo in Berlin, Germany.

There is no clue about any specification of the device in teaser image, but the mystery was followed by a tagline, “820 figure will be given a new meaning.”

On the basis of this tagline, many reports are suggesting that the success of HTC Desire 816 smartphone has brought up its successor Desire 820. Gforgames contemplated that the device will be equipped with the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, the octa-core CPU and the Adreno 405 GPU. The Adreno 405 GPU inside the Snapdragon 615 will definitely provide an edge to the 820 over the other mid-rangers. The device will surely have the Android 4.4.4 version.

If HTC 820 will be equipped with all these features, than it will surely help the HTC to stand out from the crowd, but as nothing is disclosed officially by the company so we all have to wait and watch what HTC is bringing for us.
