hey it's Josh regard from Android Authority what's going on everybody and here we are taking a look at the HTC Desire 820 this is the brand-new what they call mid tier hero in the HTC lineup and it does seem to bring a lot of what we already liked from the desire 816 and makes it an even more accessible package and also future-proof which is a term that they were using quite a bit what we're seeing here is a 5.5 inch screen now I will not be turning on the screen exactly for this particular clip because they did keep the brightness at max here which makes it a little tough to capture but the rates going there are going to be some clips of the actual interface at a different exposure but what we can see here on the design is we have a very nice plastic feel over here it is going to be pretty smudgy around and a little bit slippery but that's fine what they were able to do however was create a unibody design that was also two-toned and in this case I have the white and orange right here or orange red if you want one the same that does give it an interesting look there aren't a lot of different colors of this HTC Desire 820 that will be available so you can really find all of the different kinds that are good for you now as far as the innards go now we do have the display right here it's a 720p display that has a 5.5 inch size and on the front you can already see the boom sound speakers that are available and that's always a great addition when it comes to HTC devices and when you look at what is underneath we have actually one of the first widely available 64-bit processors available in the Snapdragon 615 now the the 64 gigabyte processing that is available in here as HTC says will allow this phone to be future proof in order for this to be able to handle Android L in the future and also any future applications and software that will be needed for the future of Android now what we're also looking at here is a pretty good camera experience actually one of the best ones that might be available out there at least on paper what we're going to be seeing is a 13 megapixel rear facing camera so we're not necessarily getting those ultra pictures from before but the front-facing camera is the one that we really have a big boost from what we have here is an 8 megapixel front facing camera which is pretty incredible in and of itself and the ability to do a lot of different types of selfies on the front which I'll show you right now in order for you to really get the best on the selfie game so this is gonna be a great one for all of the author if you love to take self-portraits and it will be available at the end of this month available in plenty of markets and available in college different types of networks on the inside you have 16 gigabytes of storage and 2 gigabytes of RAM and from there we still have all the same great blinkfeed and wonderful sense software or features that are available in other agency devices already so that's just a quick look this live look at the HTC Desire 820 this is the mid tier hero as they say this is sort of the upper-middle range I suppose it's a good way to put it of the of the HTC family excuse me and we do really like what we see here it continues the great design of the 816 that we liked from last year and gave a great review and award of and it seems like they will be able to continue that momentum with this one here so keep it tuned here at Android authority for all of our coverage ayiva in Berlin once again I'm here at the HTC launch event and this is the this was the Desire 820
