The Desire 828 is the first mid-range smartphone to pack in optical image stabilization (OIS) and features HTC’s UltraPixel and UltraSelfie allowing it to click some great pictures. The 5.5-inch Full HD smartphone is powered by the MediaTek MT6753 octa-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage, which can be further be expanded up to 2TB using a microSD card.

Surprisingly, the company did not announce the pricing, and neither the availability specifics, although they did hint at a two week timeline. The HTC Desire 828 will be available in two colors — dark gray and pearl white. On paper, the latest addition to the Desire series looks like a pretty good phone and packs a punch in the camera department.
