HTC Rolls Out 5 Incher Butterfly 2 Smartphone For India
Advertisement
If there’s one thing that you can deny about HTC is its repeated effort to bring out the best looking devices in the market. The only thing which has led to HTC’s continued downfall has been in relation to its pricing and marketing strategy, which, quite frankly, is no match to the likes of Samsung and Sony.
But slowly and gradually, the company is looking to correct its mistakes and redeem itself with products that will suit your needs as well as pockets. This was first seen with the One E8, streamlined version of the One M8 but packing quite a punch for its Rs 34,000 pricing. And now, the company has announced Butterfly 2 smartphone for the South Asian market. The device is expected to be available by early next month across the aforementioned region.
The Butterfly series has mostly been known for its big-size devices. Thankfully, the version 2.0 of Butterfly gets a manageable 5 inch display, which sports a 1920x1080presolution , running on Sense 6 UI over Android 4.4 KitKat. It packs a 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset paired with 2 GB RAM and conventional 16/32 GB storage variants, which is expandable as well. There’s no ultrapixel magic on this one, instead you get a 13 MP rear snapper with depth sensor and a 5 MP front shooter for quick selfies. One thing we do like about the Butterfly 2 is its ability to withstand falls and water splashes, and even sudden submerges as well. This feature has been missing on the One M8 but Butterfly 2 has it covered. The phone is loaded with a 2700 mAh battery that should pretty much offer you a day’s usage and continuing its tradition of packing the best audio experience, you get the BoomSound speakers on the Butterfly 2.
There’s a lot going for the Butterfly 2 and we can only hope that HTC doesn’t manage to spoil the party with its out-of-thought pricing. We’ll hear more about the phone’s availability and pricing for India in the coming weeks.
