NEW DELHI: HTC has launched the Desire 820G+ Dual SIM in India, a smartphone that was launched in the Taiwanese manufacturer’s home country back in early-June. It has been priced at Rs. 19,990 (MOP), and will be available in Santorini White, Saffron Grey, and Milky Way Grey colour variants.
The HTC Desire 820G+ Dual SIM runs Android 4.4 KitKat and features a 5.5-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) display. It packs a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, and an 8-megapixel secondary front-facing camera, just like the HTC Desire 820. It is powered by an octa-core MediaTek MT6592 SoC (clocked at 1.7GHz) coupled with 1GB of RAM.
The 16GB inbuilt storage on the Desire 820G+ Dual SIM is expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). Connectivity options on the handset include Wi-Fi, FM radio, Bluetooth, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS/ A-GPS, 3G and Micro-USB. According to the official listing of the HTC Desire 820G+ Dual SIM, the smartphone doesn’t feature 4G connectivity support. The handset is backed by a 2600mAh battery that can offer up to 12 hours of talk time and up to 560 hours of standby time. It measures 157.7×78.74×7.74mm and weighs around 155 grams.
Much like other recently launched HTC smartphones, the Desire 820G+ Dual SIM supports HTC DotView cases.
