We finally managed to get our hands on a HTC Butterfly which is currently HTC’s flagship device until the next big thing is revealed.
To recap on the specs, the HTC Butterfly comes with a Full HD 5″ display with a Quad-Core 1.5GHz Qualcomm S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and f/2.0 8MP camera.
On first impression, the Butterfly is lighter than its looks and somewhat doesn’t feel any bigger than the HTC One X. The unit which we have is red in colour that comes with a rather glossy plastic back. Not really a fan of glossy surfaces especially plastic but it still feels very well put together.
While we don’t get LTE connectivity, the HTC Butterfly that we get here comes with microSD expansion slot. It also comes with some form of water resistance but it is more of splash proof rather than a phone which you can submerge into water. So far the only annoyance we found is the micro-SIM slot that’s covered under the flush flaps. The metal tray is inserted pretty deep which takes quite some prying with long fingernails to get it out.
