HTC preps 5.2" waterproof Butterfly 2 flagship, colored front panels pop up

The Butterfly 2 is said to sport a 5.2" Full HD panel, similar to the LG G2, and apparently is coming in white, black and blue versions. Snapdragon 800 will be running the show, claims the source, but the kicker is that the whole device will be waterproof, with HTC taking a page from Sony's playbook.
Have a look at these alleged screen panels from the Butterfly 2 to gauge how the phone might end up looking like. We might not see it announced together with HTC's first phablet on October 15th or 17th, depending on whose rumor you believe, as the source says it will be unveiled for the Chinese New Year some time in January. Makes sense, if HTC doesn't want it to clash with the holiday sales of the One.
