As good as this sounds, for a phone with a display size of 5.2-inch, the XZ has a rather big forehead and chin. We compared it to some 5.5-inch phones such as the OnePlus 3 and the Moto Z Play, and the XZ is really as tall as them....

The Desire 820 isn’t the first phone to feature a 64-bit C—that honor goes to HTC’s Desire 510 announced in late August.
