HTC today confirmed that it is all set to release the first 64-bit Android handset — the Desire 820 on September 4th on its Weibo account via a teaser image.

Pictures of a 64-bit handset from HTC had leaked earlier this month, but it one was rumored to sport a Snapdragon 410 processor. However, the teaser image in Chinese says that this phone from HTC would be the first 64-bit octa-core Android device, which points at the presence of a Snapdragon 615.

This chip, however, is not a high-end one though as they are only slated to arrive towards the end of Q1 next year.

In the past, HTC has been a ‘first’ at bringing many new technologies to smartphones including LTE, 3D screens, front-facing stereo speakers, Duo camera and more. With the release of the Desire 820 at IFA early next month, HTC will once again be a ‘first’ on releasing the first 64-bit Android phone — nearly a year after Apple released the world’s first 64-bit smartphone.
