HTC didn’t disappoint when it announced the new Desire 820 at IFA in Berlin this morning. Despite being a midrange device, this handset has a super speedy 64-bit Snapdragon 615 octa-core (that’s eight cores!) processor. It’s also one of HTC’s largest Desire handsets with a 5.5-inch display, and it’s available in a number of pretty colors.
