Now HTC is again trying to get to technological Olympus by improving the devices of the present. A high probability to stay on top has a new Desire flagship smartphone, which was built using a 64-bit architecture.
HTC promotes the new Desire 820 as the world’s first Android smartphone with a 64-bit mobile processor on board. Unsurprisingly that HTC is betting on 1.5GHz octa-core processor Snapdragon 615 from Qualcomm since it provides overall reduction in energy consumption and acceptable thermal condition. Although this is an advanced computing engine with unimaginable productivity, so you don’t have to worry about the battery life and burns on your palms.
It is worth remembering that this device is not an ordinary representative of its class, and the potential is close to a portable multimedia center packed together with full-fledged game console for your favorite and upcoming games too. Outfitted in a total of eight independent cores it provides efficient multitasking at a steadily increasing demands of multimedia applications.
In a addition to eight core processor there are 2GB of RAM, Adreno 405 GPU and 16/32GB of built-in storage, which probably can be expanded by memory cards. The new HTC Desire 820 will come with 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels, Android 4.4.4 KitKat and HTC Sense, that is naturally for this manufacturer, but there is no mentioning about Android 5.0 that we would like to see on board the new Desire, considering Nexus 6 already has. It will also come with an 8-megapixel front facing camera, a 13-megapixel sensor on the cap and a 2600mAh battery on board.
HTC Desire 820 holds a 4G LTE Cat. 4 connectivity, as well as a Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11a/g/b/n. The 64-bit pioneer will reveal itself at the end of this month with the price tag of $449 in Marble White, Tuxedo Grey, Santorini White, and Milky-way Grey boby colours. It seems reasonable, acceptable and quite natural for this part of the market.

You could easily get the S Pen from the device's tunnel-groove to use it, but the Samsung engineers have decided that the way it used to be is still not perfect. And to be frankly, they are right, as the process of removal and placing it back is too complicated comparing to a simple notebook and pen usage, therefore this sophisticated process was improved had to be improved first of all.

HTC has decided to speak at the premium segment of the phone market not only the quality but also the quantity. The company has already started work on budgetary version of the flagship HTC One. The new model HTC Zara is not engaged in a ballet school as One M8 it likes strip bars.
HTC Zara with 4.5" QHD display and plastic body is from a good family, but beer and partying likes much more than a dinner parties. Several design features make it very similar to the older model but only in appearance.
Inside the installed agresivny dual-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8930 1,2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM. In order to capture the defining moments in the life the smartphone is equipped with a 1.6-megapixel front camera and is capable of recording Full HD-video 8MP camera with LED-flash. Not forget everything will allow 8GB memory with expansion cards MicroSD. A few hours of sleep to recharge the battery (2100mAh) and to have fun again.
For better performance the phone is equipped with Adreno 305 graphics. High quality and enviable output sound volume provides a front BoomSound. The important point is that this unit will be the first of HTC smartphones which will work with the operating system Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the new shell Sense 5.5. Design of the smartphone indicates a possible membership in the flagship line, however, it most likely will be the top representative of the series Desire.
Unfortunately HTC keeps secret the information about release date and price of the new model.
The most impossible and therefore most expected today is the 12.9 inch iPad, which has lately shown up in the web under the name iPad Pro being the largest iPad ever from Apple’s series.
We should also remember that Apple now is trying to promote bigger sizes from their lineup, for example, we have to keep in mind the expected “iPhones” in different displays and improved iPad Air coming soon, so finally the fans of Apple can also compete with other brand owners of the devices in size.
Further to below mentioned matter of the new size, we should not expect the big iPad this year, as according to a well-known supplier of Apple’s rumors Ming-chi Kuo of KGI Securities the new operating system for the “enormous” iPad has to get some improvements to be fitted in the device.
The predicts are aimed on the Quarter I of 2015, as if it will start selling in 2014, the sales might be too low, due to already known devices coming this Fall.
