HTC has launched a new Desire-series smartphone, the Desire 820G+ Dual SIM, in Taiwan. The smartphone has been priced at TWD 5,990 (approximately Rs. 12,350).

Unfortunately, the company as of now has not revealed any plans to launch the Desire 820G+ Dual SIM outside Taiwan.

The HTC Desire 820G+ Dual SIM runs Android 4.4 KitKat and features a 5.5-inch HD (720x1280 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 processor (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 157.7x78.74x7.74mm and weighs around 155 grams.

HTC Taiwan has also launched the Desire 626G+ Dual SIM in Taiwan. The smartphone was launched in India back in April priced at Rs. 16,900.

The HTC Desire 626G+ Dual SIM features a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution display and is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. A 13-megapixel autofocus rear camera with BSI sensor, f/2.2 aperture and LED flash is onboard, apart from a 5-mgepixel front-facing camera with the same sensor and f/2.8 aperture. Both are capable of recording full-HD videos. The handset equips 8GB of inbuilt storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). However, the Android-based handset will come with HTC BlinkFeed and Sense UI on top. 3G connectivity is also included in the handset besides Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. The Desire 626G+ Dual SIM, measuring 146.9x70.9x8.1mm and weighing 138 grams, will be available in Blue Lagoon & White Birch colour variants. A 2000mAh Li-Po non-removable battery backs the smartphone.
