The HTC Butterfly is an Android-based, 4G LTE-capable smartphone designed and developed by HTC. The HTC Butterfly is the company's first 5-inch phone, and more importantly, the first phone to feature a 1080p display. When HTC launched the J Butterfly in Japan last October, the rest of the world watched with envious eyes as the Japanese laid their hands on the new HTC flagship phone. As a Japan-specific model, it initally seemed that the J Butterfly would not make it anywhere else beyond Japan's shores.
The Chinese and Russian versions of the Butterfly do not have a microSD slot. In the United States, the Butterfly was released as the HTC Droid DNA as a Verizon exclusive: supporting wireless charging, but lacks a MicroSD slot.
I found the design of the phone to be really attractive, and the first thing that one notices is that despite the big 5-inch screen the phone doesn't feel awkward to hold and has a thin profile. Hence, the slimmer form factors, more powerful processors, better UIs and most significant of all, sky-high prices, which consumers seem to be more than ready to pay.
