Marketing gimmick by Lenovorola.

In anandtech :

When it comes to the camera, it seems that this unit is directly shared with the Nexus 6’s camera, although it doesn’t seem to have the more expensive voice coil motor that is needed to enable OIS.

I would still say 'marketing gimmick'.

Right. I am guessing camera sensors are cheap. Additional components to make it awesome are expensive

Let us hope this SD 820 will NOT be again a flagship killer like SD 810 this year...

What does someone intend to do with these high end processors..
I mean I have an atrix HD which still runs official cyanogenmod smoothly..and I have a Mi3 which has a SD800 which runs everything..
If we consider things like LTE..the technology has not even yet matured.

Snapdragon 820 Leak Details Quad-Core Hydra CPU And Adreno 530 GPU

This will be the first chip using Qualcomm's new custom ARM core, apparently called Hydra now. The leaked slides claim a 35% performance increase over the Cortex-A57 ARM reference core. This will be a quad-core chip rather than an octa-core big.LITTLE affair like the Snapdragon 810. On the GPU side, Qualcomm is stepping up to the Adreno 530, and claims a 40% improvement in performance and 30% efficiency boost.
The Snapdragon 820 will be based on a 14nm manufacturing process (810 was 20nm), which should help reduce heat at higher clock speeds. The change to custom CPU cores should also improve matters. It will also support cameras up to 28MP with a programmable DSP, low-power sensors, and LPDDR4 memory. The chip is targeted for release to OEMs at the end of 2015, but don't expect it to show up in any phones until early 2016.
