We have full HD. With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the HTC Droid DNA is the first smartphone to feature an HDTV-sharp display in the U.S. And despite its 5-inch billboard of a display, this device is compact enough to be used with one hand. But the DNA is more than just a pretty face.

  • Sleek alluring design
  • Excellent quad-core performance and graphics
  • Wireless charging capability
  • Fast and sharp camera
Cons:
  • Unnecessary port cover
  • No microSD expansion or removable battery

Pros:
  • Superb 1080p display
  • fast phone
  • high quality materials and finish
Cons:
  • Only 16 gigs of non-expandable storage
  • battery sealed inside
