HTC Desire 820 “Confirmed”

All smartphones would need on a really catchy name in order for it to make advancements in the market, despite having the best hardware specifications that are in the market at the moment. The thing is, getting the right name can prove to be rather tricky, and HTC continues to tease us with the “820” moniker as you can tell by the infographic-of-sorts on the right hand side. It points out the different kinds of achievements that HTC has managed to arrive at over the years where smartphones are concerned, and the last of it being a rather prophetic “820”, so to speak.

The HTC Desire 820 happens to be the name that many suspect this particular smartphone will come in, and it will also carry the distinction of being the first 64-bit Android-powered smartphone in the market. Heck, even Qualcomm has more or less acknowledged the fact that this upcoming smartphone will be the first of its kind to make use of Qualcomm’s very own octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC.

The Snapdragon 615 processor happens to come in the form of an upper mid-range CPU which will make use of a quartet of Cortex-A53 cores that have been clocked at 1.8GHz, while another four Cortex-A53 cores will be clocked at 1GHz. We do look forward to IFA 2014 with bated breath, as that is most probably when the HTC Desire 820 will be announced.
