I have been using this phone from about 5 months.The 820q sports a 5.5 inch hd display which is very crisp and clear and the styling of the phone gives it a rich look.Although it sports a massive 5.5 inch display which is quiet unusable with one hand for most users, but gradually after using this phone for some time the user will have no problems reguarding the screen size of the phone.The performance of the phone is very good, the phone does not hang or lag even after long hours of usage.
The gaming performance of the phone is also very good, there is no heating issue although the phone gets a bit warm while gaming but that is not an issue to worry about.The battery backup of the phone is also very good and it gives me about 7-8 hours on mild usage which is good but not the best and the sound quality of the speakers is loud and clear.
HTC has done a great job and in my opinion this phone will be good for casual users as well as gamers who love the android software.
