HTC Butterfly Android phone

The HTC Butterfly's 5in, full HD screen is a marvel and its thin design quickly becomes appreciated. However, poor battery life, some odd ergonomics and HTC's tired Sense UI are all letdowns. Add a lack of 4G to that and we'd advise you give this one a miss. The HTC J Butterfly was exclusively released in Japan in December last year but HTC has now unveiled an international variant of the device that works on Australian 3G networks, simply called the Butterfly. Its 5in, full HD screen is a marvel and the thin design quickly becomes appreciated, but the Butterfly suffers from poor battery life, has some odd ergonomics and is let down by HTC's tired Sense UI.
Pros:
  • Outstanding full HD display
  • Thin, well constructed design
  • Dual notification lights
Cons:
  • Awful battery life
  • Occasional performance hiccups
  • Some annoying ergonomics

Droid DNA

Motorola and Verizon took the world by storm with the introduction of the original Droid in 2009. It was one of the first serious Android handsets on the market, and arguably, helped bring Android to where it is today.
Pros:
  • DNA packs an amazing screen that challenges what any other smartphone on the market is packing
Cons:
  • The Sense UI that brings limitations to the speediness of the device
  • HTC's "Incredible" design is also getting a bit old

Butterfly has good build quality and gives a feeling of a premium device, which it is. The phone weighs 140 grams. HTC had sometime back launched its first 5 inch device, called HTC Butterfly, for around Rs 45,000. Here is my take on the smartphone.
Pros:
  • Stylish design
  • Covered ports
  • Call quality
  • Audio quality (through 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Display
Cons:
  • SIM tray
  • Battery
  • Low light camera performance
