The HTC Desire 820s , first announced in
November, will be launching soon in
India at Rs. 24,990, as per an
established retailer.
Mumbai-based mobile retailer Mahesh
Telecom on Wednesday claimed that the
Desire 820s will be available in India
from Thursday.
Mahesh Telecom claims the Desire 820s
features 'dual 4G' support, allowing for
3G+3G, 4G+3G, or 3G+4G
configurations. This however seems a
little unlikely, as the company's own
support page for the smartphone says
only one card can connect to 3G/4G
networks at a time, while the other will
connect to 2G networks only.
The Desire 820s packs almost identical
specifications to the Desire 820 , apart
from sporting a 64-bit 1.7GHz octa-core
MediaTek MT6752 processor with 4G
LTE connectivity and Mali T760 GPU
instead of the 64-bit octa-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC (1.5GH
quad-core + 1.0GHz quad-core) of the
original. The octa-core MediaTek SoC is
coupled with 2GB of RAM.

The dual-SIM HTC Desire 820s runs
Android 4.4 KitKat and features a 5.5-
inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display. It
packs a 13-megapixel rear camera with
LED flash, and an 8-megapixel
secondary front-facing camera, just like
the Desire 820.
The 16GB internal storage on the Desire
820s is expandable via microSD card (u
to 128GB). Connectivity options on the
handset include Wi-Fi, FM radio,
Bluetooth, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS/ A-GPS, 3G
and 4G LTE.
As mentioned earlier, the Desire 820s wa
first announced in November for China,
and since then has not been in the news.
The phone's predecessor, the Desire 820
was launched at IFA in September, and
subsequently launched in India in
October alongside the quad-core Desire
820q .
