HTC Desire 820 Benchmark & Gaming Performance

As you can see in the photo above HTC Desire 820 scored almost 28,000 points in Antutu benchmark all thanks to the new Snapdragon 615 chip-set. It is not a bad score for supposedly upper mid-range phone. It even beat HTC One in ‘Multi-core’ and ‘Metal’ test of Vellamo benchmark and in benchmarks like Quadrant and Nenamark 2 the frames were like fixed at 60 frames per second. This is the first mid-range chipset from Snapdragon that has performed this well in benchmarks. Otherwise chip-sets like Snapdragon 400… don’t even want to remember. Around this price range especially Snapdragon 400 was a disgrace on the name of Snapdragon.

Gaming

Snapdragon 615 is the first chip-set from Snapdragon around $400/24,000 price range which was able to run GTA San Andreas without any problems. Although on default settings but still coming from Snapdragon 400 and Snapdragon 410 this chip-set is like a life saver. Almost all the games i ran on it from Asphalt 8 to Modern Combat 5 to even emulation of some PS1 games like Tekken 3 it performed really well in running those smoothly. There’s one thing i noticed though, it loses battery pretty fast while gaming. More on this in the full review, till then enjoy the gaming video below.
