The 820 is notable because it uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with two banks of four cores, one at 1.5GHz and one at 1.0GHz. It has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and supports microSD cards up to 64GB. The 615 integrates Category 4 LTE, as well as smartphone standards such as dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. The phone features a 5.5-inch 720p LCD screen surrounded by HTC’s signature BoomSound stereo speakers.

The phone has a new app called Photo Booth, which can be used to create photo collages. It also has a software tool to instantly “add makeup” to faces to improve their appearance. Another novel photo feature allows users to mashup two portraits into one, creating a single face from the two source photos.

The HTC Desire 820 runs Android 4.4 KitKat with Sense 6.0 and will come in a variety of colors. It will ship to various markets beginning at the end of September. HTC didn’t say if the phone will be made available in the U.S.
