New Upgrade Product Unveiled : Upgraded HTC Desire 816G With Octa Core Processor Unveiled

The HTC Desire 816G smartphone has already been available for purchase in India for a few months now, but you’ll soon be able to get hold of the upgraded version which packs a new processor and more memory. The handset has been officially launched for Rs 19990 which is just Rs 1000 more than what the previous model was priced at.

The new HTC Desire 816G smartphone comes with double the performance and this is made possible by dropping the old quad core processor for a 1.7GHz octa core chipset. The new SOC is most likely from MediaTek based on the Cortex A7 which is also found on the recently launched Desire 526G+. 

The company notes that the Desire 816G has been a ‘best buy’ in the big screen category, so it makes sense giving it an upgrade. Apart from throwing in a new ticker, the company has made no other modifications to the smartphone. So, you’ll basically be treated to the same gorgeous design with a large 5.5-inch 720p HD IPS display and BoomSound speakers on the front.

You’ll also sign up for Android 4.4 KitKat with the Sense UI and BlinkFeed on this HTC handset. Apart from these features, the phone comes with dual SIM card slots, 1GB RAM, 16GB expandable storage, a 5MP front snapper and a 13MP rear shooter. With the 2600mAh battery, you can expect up to 10 hours of 3G talk time.
