HTC Butterfly is quite an extravagant smart phone of the future. It is expected anytime soon as a global complement to HTC J selling like hot cakes in the Japanese markets. It is definitely going to be an amazing smart phone due to the combination of its amazing features and looks.
The most noticeably impressive feature of this cell phone is its design. It looks slim as well as large! The size of the touch screen is a full 5.0 inches. Really impressive! Moreover, having dimensions of 5.63 x 2.78 x 0.36 inches, imagine how great it will look in your hands; stylish and extremely impressive indeed!
The display is also nothing less than great. The resolution is 1080 x 1920 along with a pixel density of 441 ppi. This awesome resolution combines with the 16 M color display to provide the best display ever. Moreover, the touch screen is also one of the most amazing features of this wonderful smart phone. Both the size as well as the technology used for the touch screen contributes towards a great user experience because it is a 5.0 inches Super LCD 3 capacitive touch screen.
This cell phone has the Android Operating System version Jelly Bean (4.1). This operating system can be upgraded to the latest Jelly Bean version (4.2). Moreover, the processor of this smart phone is also quite impressive. With a Quad Core having 1.5 GHZ, the smart phone functions will be performed efficiently at a high speed.
HTC is also said to be changing its strategy, letting flagship devices like the Butterfly sell longer on the market. That is in stark contrast with what market leaders like Apple and Samsung are doing. Apple for instance is said to be actually speeding up its product cycle to introducing two products a year instead of just one. The HTC Butterfly will start arriving in larger quantities around the end of the month, according to HTC North Asia president Jack Tong. This cell phone is yet to be released in the market. It will most probably lie in the category of expensive phones due to its amazing quality and features.
