HTC has launched yet another handset, the HTC Desire 820G+ Dual-SIM in Taiwan for TWD 5,990. There’s no word from the Taiwanese company if the handset will launch in other markets or not.
The handset offers mid-range specifications and features a 5.5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1,280 by 720 pixels, and an octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz paired with 1GB of RAM on board.
Operating System and User Interface
The handset ships with Android 4.4.4 KitKat as its operating system with the company’s Sense UI on top of it. HTC’s Sense UI is known for its user-friendly interface and added functionalities that enhance the overall Android experience. Although Android 4.4.4 KitKat is not the latest version of Android, it still offers a stable and smooth performance for everyday tasks. Users can enjoy features like Google Now, immersive mode, and enhanced security.
Camera and Photography Features
As far as the photographic capabilities are concerned, the HTC Desire 820G+ features a 13MP main camera as well as an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies. The 13MP rear camera is equipped with autofocus and LED flash, allowing users to capture clear and vibrant photos even in low-light conditions. The camera app includes various modes such as HDR, panorama, and face detection, providing users with multiple options to enhance their photography skills. The 8MP front camera is perfect for selfies and video calls, offering good quality images with decent detail and color accuracy.
Other features include 16GB of built-in storage which is expandable via microSD card of up to 32GB, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 2,600 mAh battery which can offer users with a talk time of up to 12 hours. The expandable storage option is a significant advantage for users who need more space for their apps, photos, and media files. The 2,600 mAh battery, while not the largest, is sufficient for a full day of moderate usage, including browsing, social media, and multimedia consumption.
Unfortunately, there’s no 4G LTE connectivity on board which may be a disappointing factor for many HTC fans. In today’s fast-paced world, 4G LTE has become a standard feature in most smartphones, providing faster internet speeds and better network reliability. The absence of 4G LTE means that users will have to rely on 3G networks, which may not offer the same level of performance, especially in areas with poor 3G coverage.
Despite this drawback, the HTC Desire 820G+ Dual-SIM offers a good balance of features and performance for its price. The dual-SIM capability is particularly useful for users who need to manage two phone numbers, whether for personal and work purposes or for taking advantage of different network plans.
