HTC nowaday are so plasticky, and I don't think a true leader will grab a non premium device...

I believe it's a Motorola smartphone b cuz on the larger image of the phone, I happened to c a Silver lining on the top and all Motorola phones have this feature.

Wendy i hope your not implying that Kim Jong-Un is a true leader? Neither his grandfather or father were true leaders seeing as they are dictators. The Gov't is to busy talking about destroying the South and America rather than improving the life of there citizens instead there building rockets.....

Perhaps an unique model protected from spying. We know how such dictators are paranoid. :)

He is one of the few lucky ones grabbing a Nexus 4, but 'cause he fears the envy of his beloved followers he masked his device. It's just that simple guys.

Yeah, the Sensation was the first phone that came to mind looking at that picture.

I agree. Looking at it I thought it looked like a Sensation too. I also used to have one so I'm familiar with it from different angles.

Okay, here it is... It's a Samsung for South Koreans
iPhone for Americans
Nokia for Indians
Motorola for the Japanese
LG for the North Koreans

Sony for the Europeans...

Nope... I disagree. HTC may be desperate, but they are still from Taiwan, and Taiwan, as we all know, is a thorn in China's side, and is protected by North Korea's great 'enemy', the US of A. Not only that, but I don't think that is quite a 5" screen on that phone, and the HTC Butterfly has straight edges, which this mystery phone does not (see the scalloped slopes of the ends of the phone?). There is a 3.5mm port at the top of this phone, and I see no branding immediately apparent (though it is hard to tell exactly). I suspect that this device is not the HTC Butterfly, but is, in fact, the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE... made in, perhaps, their only friend among the nations, China!

it's a Nokia 3310 dressed as a touchphone. NoKor closed its doors from the world and they know nothing about touchphones. This is only a bluff to show that they are hi-tech.

It looks like HTC sensation. I have one it looks exactly like it
28. fashion_m posted on 05 Feb 2013, 10:50 3 0
It has rounded top and bottom and it looks like 2011 Sony Ericsson Xperia models.

They really need to feed their people a little more by the looks of the phone, chair, cigarrette, and table.
Why don't they let their people leave at least? Oh yeah, cuz nobody would want to live there o_0

It's an HTC according to some S Korean and Taiwan newspaper, and seems like everyone is guessing that it's the Sensation.

I read on PHANDROID it may be a HTC BUTTERFLY but how can u tell at a small picture? and who cares bout this DICTACTOR

Whatever kind of phone, I'd be more than glad to use it as a warhead strapped to a missile and launch it up his ass.
