HTC Desire 826 (2 min sneak peak) #DTTNEWS

HTC announced Desire 826

HTC has announced its new charm the desire of everyone Desire 826. It falls just behind the Desire Eye in the desire line up. It is a successor of Desire 820 with some minor upgrades and packs with a 5.5" IPS display of 1080p resolution.

It runs on the Snapdragon 615 chip, which is currently the best mid-range platform Qualcomm has to offer. It comes with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor with four cores ticking at 1.5GHz and the other four working at up to 1.0GHz. The GPU in charge of graphics is Adreno 405, while the 2GB of RAM will surely help make the multi-tasking process buttery smooth.

HTC Desire 826 packs a duo of stereo BoomSound speakers - one of them is located under a tiny strip above the display and the same goes for the earpiece. The second speaker is hidden under an identical strip below the screen. The Dolby Audio enhancement is present on HTC Desire 826 as well.

Unlike the HTC Desire 820, the new Desire 826 offers a 4MP UltraPixel front snapper for great selfie photos. There is no LED front flash, but with this sensor you might not need one as it does extremely well under low-light conditions judging by our previous tests with the HTC One. The rear camera of the HTC Desire 826 is a 13MP unit, coupled with a LED flash which is similar to Desire 820.

HTC Desire 826 powered with the newest Android 5.0.1 Lollipop and HTC Sense 6.0 UI. This combination is already present on some HTC smartphones.

The Asia-Pacific region will be the first to get the HTC Desire 826 by the end of January.
