HTC Butterfly global version announced

HTC announced the international variant of the Droid DNA, which it is calling HTC Butterfly for the global users.

The 5-inch screen with 1080p resolution results in a mind blowing pixel density of 440ppi in the smartphone world.

The HTC Butterfly runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz and comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage with a microSD card for good measure. HTC has not revealed the version of Android it runs but we are assuming it would be running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.  

The Butterfly is equipped with a 8MP camera with a 28mm lens and F2.0 aperture which will help the BSI enabled sensor to take even better low light images. The front camera is a 2.1MP unit capable of capturing full HD video. As will most top-end HTC smartphones, it comes with a dedicated ImageChip for zero shutter lag and faster image processing. HTC has also added five levels of flashlight that is automatically set depending on the distance from the subject.
