HTC Desire 820s Dual Sim

Mediatek's MT6752 chipset runs the show here, an octa-core setup clocked at 1.7GHz paired with a Mali-T760MP2 GPU and 2GB of RAM. That's enough for everyday tasks on Android KitKat, though it's not a chipset built for heavy gaming. Storage sits at 16GB, but the microSD slot takes you up to 32GB more if you need it. The 5.5-inch display runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, translating to about 267 ppi, decent for the price bracket at launch.

Camera-wise, you get a 13MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls, both capable of 1080p video capture. HTC Desire 820s Dual Sim price in Malaysia starts from RM2997. Dual SIM support with LTE Cat4 means you can juggle two numbers while staying connected on faster networks.

Battery capacity is 2600mAh, non-removable, which was fairly standard for a 5.5-inch phone in this era. At 155g and 7.7mm thick, it's a manageable size, and it comes in five colour options including Marble White and Monarch Orange for those who care about aesthetics as much as specs.
