HTC have announced the new midrange Desire 820 Android smartphone which includes a Snapdragon 615 chipset with 64-bit support. The screen is a 5.5-inch with 1,280 x 720 resolution. The octa-core cpu features 4 x 1.5GHz cores and 4 x 1.0GHz cores with 2GB of RAM. The big.LITTLE architecture will aid towards battery efficiency. The 64-bit side of things is rather for the future then now, as Android support is due with the release of Android L later this year.

Finally the battery size is 2,600mAh .Availability is set for the end of September in some regions, but no specifics have been released, which include pricing info.
