HTC J Butterfly!

[jon7701]

What do you guys think about this? And do you think you will be getting it if it comes out in the US?

Also do you think it will be popular or less popular like what happened to the rezound?

I personally might get it off of ebay if it turns out to be close to as popular as the HOX

With the name butterfly, no it will not be as popular as the one x lol Hopefully its made for chicks because I refuse to buy a phone with that name

Well it is aimed toward Japan currently so if it did come to the US they may change the name to something better. The only reason i would want it is because the specs from what ive seen are better then the specs of the HOX+ which is supposed to be coming out in the US.

Yes I would definetly get it if it comes to the US with a different name. Even if its not a flagship there will be devs to make it better

Check out the HTC DLX speculation thread. It appears that they are pretty much the same phone, except it hasn't been released.

I know I want one tho!

I think they might be the same phone if you compare the pic from the like in that thread compared to the pic from the link
Edit: Actually they might be the same phone however the J Butterfly is the Japan variant and the DLX is the US variant. That could be a possibility?

It is the same phone.

Its not the same phone. The hboot on the j butterfly states it as the DLX_J. On the ADR6450 the code name is just DLX. So the butterfly is just a varient. That's why HTC stated that phone would not be released in the US and that a similar one would, more then likely the ADR6450.

I like the sound of that. I can keep my trend going that way. Thunderbolt, ADR6400, Rezound, ADR6425, DLX, ADR6450.

Well maybe the dlx_j stands for dlx Japan?? My guess it is the same phone as the us varient, but Verizon will somehow find a way the gimp it

I won't be buying it. Awesome phone but a battery that small just won't cut it. And it's a 1080p screen so I'm gonna say that battery will be gone with less than an hour of screen time.

I read the US version will have 2500mah battery...that good enough?

The Razr Maxx HD is coming with a 3300 mah battery. If HTC plans on putting a 2500mah battery mixed with that 5 inch display, expect battery life to be horrid. I hope they up the battery, that device looks very promising and it would be a shame for them to ruin it with something so simple.

Edit: Also just read that it's rumored to have a non-removable battery. The new Snapdragon S4 pro it comes equipped with does sound great tho.

5 inch 1080p screen makes it even worse

At least the S4 Pro shouldn't have any problems handling 4g as far as battery life is concerned. The battery size is honestly the only deal breaker.

As long as the battery can last me threw my 16hour day its all good with me. My thunderbolt has no problem doing that and neither did my rezound. I'm sure the s4 will only help. 2500 is still huge compared to the 1400 and 1650 we got before. Stop wining.

Hopefully that s4 combined with the new SLCD3 will provide decent battery life
