HTC Butterfly - The Most Expensive Android Phone Yet | Review

Info

HTC Butterfly is the HTC's first 5-inch phone with 1080p display. It was first released in Japan as J Butterfly and later in US. However its price is Rs. 45,000. Lets see its details and find out if this price is enough for this phone or not ??

Hardware

The design of this phone is really amazing. One thing I noticed that despite of 5-inch screen, the phone doesn't look awkward to hold and has a thin and slim body like a girl :) 

The phone has rounded corners and feels very thin. The back of the phone has a soft rubberised matte finish, and feels nice to hold. The 8-megapixel camera lens is located towards the top. Unlike the One X and One X+, the lens unit doesn't protrude out and is flush with the body of the phone, which makes it look more elegant. 

A single LED flash is located just next to the lens. Like the One X, the phone doesn't have a removable back cover. There's glossy HTC branding engraved in the middle, and the Beats audio branding and the speaker outlet, towards the bottom of the phone. 

HTC has used Corning Gorilla Glass 2, making the screen durable, and comparatively more resistant to scratches. There's a greyish brown metal strip right above the earpiece, which gives the phone a premium feel. The 2.1-megapixel front-shooter is located at the left side, below the earpiece. The front also features three capacitive touch buttons (Home, Back and Menu/ App Switcher) and their markings.
