New Delhi: HTC is all set to launch
its recently announced Desire 820
smartphone in India on September
23. The company will be unveiling the
smartphone at its event on Tuesday
in New Delhi.

The HTC Desire 820 is expected to
come to India for around Rs 26,000.
The company will also be unveiling
other smartphones, said a source
with information of the matter.
The HTC Desire 820 is the successor
to the Desire 816. The phone is
powered by the latest Qualcomm
octa-core 64-bit processor with

The phone features a 5.5-inch 720p
display and an 8 megapixel front-
facing camera. The HTC Desire 820's
rear camera has a 13 megapixel BSI
sensor.

With the view to enhance the imaging
experience, the phone includes Face
Fusion software, allowing you to
merge your features with those of a
friend or celebrity for a completely
original look; real time Live Makeup,
which allows you to preview the
image and set the desired level of
skin smoothing before the image is
captured; and Photo Booth, where
you can capture several moments in
a single image.

This Desire 820 is claimed to set new
benchmarks for mid-range
smartphones. With the Snapdragon
615 processor, the HTC Desire 820 is
claimed to offer 4G connectivity at
speeds of up to 150mbps.
The HTC Desire 820 will be available
in Marble White, Tuxedo Grey,
Santorini White and Milky-way Grey.
