For some bizarre reason i think the HTC droid DNA is better, EVEN though its not international.

add to that an aluminum unibody chassis and for God's sake HTC....a monster battery for a monster phone please!

HTC should take this time to add another to the DNA/ Butterfly lineup: 32GB+ versions. I can make do with slightly less than 16GB but not everyone.

they could have used a wholesome name for the international version.

actually htc is trying to experiment with non removable battery and non expandable storage. clearly most people don't want that. htc is just being reactive.

no actually verizon is the one that wanted non expanable storage for DNA so don't blame HTC for that ...while HTC butterfly is same as Japanese version which it have expandable storage

It's a good thing that they're listening now, the only other thing they have to do is to have a removable back cover

D'oh... hopefully instead of adding a card slot (supposedly due to carrier pressure) they can release a 32GB model for the US then.

OneX+ was mainly for the people who wanted LTE with tegra 3. It wasnt a flagship merely an upgrade like the S3 with dual core krait to S3 with quad exynos + LTE!! Only they made it more appealing by improving the minor things to keep up with current flagships

Not to mention you could use the X+ battery on the X... Ooooh, I can't wait to do the battery swap...

its almost paper like quality (although i am still yet to see for myself)
and brilliant image reproduction.

What I mean is you don't need that much of ppi tho... It might hurts your eyes, too contrast on a very small screen... Not actually can tell the different tho...

17. darkskoliro posted on 07 Dec 2012, 04:45 1 0

It wont hurt your eyes :L Why would it?? Why would they even go into production if they found out that such high PPI on a small screen was bad...and on a normal day to day basis on texting? No you wouldnt. But movies, pictures, web browsing ?? HELL YES IT WOULD!

Your logic is flawed there, if the image is clearer then your eyes won't have to work as hard to focus on it. 300 ppi is the max a person with 20/20 vision can distinguish at the usual distance you hold your phone away from your face. I forget the specific figure. however if you have better than 20/20 vision then you can distinguish those pixels or if you happen to be closer to the screen. In one of the reviews I read on it, it mentioned that there is a discernible difference between 300ppi and 440ppi.

300ppi is not the max a person can see with 20/20 vision. The figure is 952. Cult of max did a piece on it sometime ago.

i wish they did 64gb instead of 16+msd, Internal > external speed anyday (period)

You guys havent realised HTC dont wanna give the usa all it goodies the usa always recieves crap late and with not complete features. Simply becasue of apple. I hope this agreement with apple will push HTC foward to releasing what the people really need and the international deluxe is what im talking about micro sd card slot next will be removeable battery.

I have to believe that was Verizon's doing. I more blame them than HTC.

HTC Is the best of the 3 but the real question is
Would you pay $200+ more for a bigger, better screen and microSD card?

40. gwuhua1984 posted on 07 Dec 2012, 11:54 0 0

Well, we don't know how much the Butterfly is going to be yet. I would guess it'd be in the 600-700 dollar range like all other just released new phones. If that's the case, the price won't be that much different from the Xperia V.

50. alouden posted on 10 Dec 2012, 08:09 0 0

Does it not have a micro SD reader?

51. gwuhua1984 posted on 10 Dec 2012, 10:16 0 0

Didn't the article say that the international version will have SD card slot?
