I guess the Desire 820G+ still has a KitKat firmware.

You can, however, always install a custom firmware, but the Desire 820G+ has a Mediatek chipset, and Mediatek is known for its anti-developer environment.

I guess you have to stick with KitKat only. Sorry!

The link doesn't seem credible to me, the comments below the post also seem to be fake. An update this big would have been posted at XDA, and I cannot see anything related to your phone in there.
