Great camera specs, midrange price point, Robust body, HTC Boomsound
Phablet size maybe offputting to some, Not too many colour options available, Battery underpar for the size
HTC are slowly making the mid-range area their own. Perched slightly on the top end of the mid-range tier, the phones, although plastic have a very strong design sensibility and have some really good features. However, with the Desire 820, the battery sho...
Good overall screen quality, Nice design, Smoothness and responsiveness of the OS, Photo and video quality
The plastic used on the back, The sound quality of the music player
All in all, the Desire 820 is a great smartphone. It might be pretty disappointing when it comes to audio—especially for an HTC product—but, in all other respects, it performs admirably for a product in this sector. Although it never exceeds expectations...
Awful battery, Bigger than other 5.5inch devices, Build quality wasn't quite there, Photos weren't as detailed as the competition, Clunky UI.
After a thorough examination, it is safe to say HTC's Desire 820 did not quite live up to our expectations.Things did not start too well, as for a phone costing £280, we would hope for a higher quality build than the glossy plastic finish the Desire 820 f...
Abstract: The HTC Desire 820 is one of the latest phones in the company's affordable blower range, only this model is a bit more phablet sized and crams in a hefty 5.5-inch screen for you to enjoy movies and websites on. Can it live up to its budget potential, or a...

Design, build, HTC Sense is nicely refined
Price, Battery life, display not the best, some sensors missing, so doesn't have a fully-packed feature set
The HTC Desire 820 has plenty to offer: it's a refined day-to-day experience, with the Sense 6 interface offering plenty to set it apart from the competition. And we're sure it will be updated to Android Lollipop at some stage in the future, which w...
Abstract: The new HTC unibody with its dual colour finish brings a refreshing new look to the range and the Desire 820 spreads its colourful personality across a big 5.5” display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels.It's more than just looks though as this durabl...
Abstract: When we reviewed the HTC Desire 816 back in issue 40, we concluded that it represented a return to form for HTC's mid range line-up. Not long has passed but yet here HTC are with the successor, the Desire 820. The old adage ‘if it ain't broke don't fix it...
Initial verdict Open Gallery The Desire 820 is an attractive, well made (albeit slippery) handset, cherry-picking useful features from the One (M8) including its front-facing speakers, Sense 6.0 software, and Dot View case. The 8MP front-facing ...
