HTC J Butterfly & HTC DLX Hints to More Releases

Everyone was impressed with HTC's Japan-only J Butterfly smartphone (I refuse to call it phablet because it doesn't sound phabulous enough) last week and left people asking why it was country-exclusive. Unsurprisingly, reports came in about the HTC DLX (DLX for Deluxe), a Verizon-exclusive smartphone for the U.S. And so far, it looks similar to the J Butterfly specs-wise.

Android Central posted several images online of the HTC DLX online, complete with the Verizon logo. J Butterfly, is it not?


Some of the select HTC DLX / HTC J Butterfly specs are listed below.

HTC DLX (Deluxe) / HTC J Butterfly Specs

• OS: Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with Sense+ UI
• Display: 5-inch Super LCD 3, 1920x1080p capacitive display
• Processor: 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4
• Memory: 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, expandable via microSD up to 32GB
• Camera: 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera
• Battery: 2200 mAh
• Dimensions: 5.62 x 2.79 x 0.35 inch; 4.93 oz.

Specifications above for the HTC DLX aren't final as Verizon still has the final say on its innards. Hopefully they won't tinker with anything anymore because the device is perfect as it stands.

We're hoping this device would see the light of day in other parts of the world especially in Asia and the Philippines. We don't care if it would arrive here as the HTC P Wasp, HTC S Spider, or whatever fabulous insect name HTC could think of. Let's just say this single device has the potential to pull HTC back in line.

'Till my next installment.
