Leaked Images of HTC Droid DNA
The speculations can finally be put to rest. After a very successful launch in Japan, the HTC J Butterfly will be rebranded as Verizon’s HTC Droid DNA for its Western consumer-base and will be announced tomorrow with a release next week. This “super phablet” is making waves in the mobile device community as it will become HTC’s first smartphone/tablet hybrid with a full HD display dubbed the Super LCD 3. Leaked photos from the notorious tech leak twitter handle @evleaks today confirm the launch and re-branding.
If preliminary specifications are correct, this phablet looks to be among the most powerful and aesthetically pleasing handsets on the market. The Super LCD 3 screen is is a 1080 x 1920 display with 440 pixels per inch for extreme clarity. The processor looks to be one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processors, one of the most efficient out there today. There’s plenty of storage and memory space for added gaming, computing, downloading, and web-surfing, with 32GB and 2GB apiece. It will boast two cameras, an 8mp rear-facing cam and a 2mp front-facing cam; will feature NFC capability and LTE connectivity; and the entire device will run on Androids 4.1 operating system–or Jelly Bean OS.
The only drawback seems to be the battery life which will be based on a 2,020 mAh battery. This isn’t definitive yet as it seems odd that such a dynamic device will run on such little power, but we’ll find out more tomorrow at the launch event.
There’s no word on price yet either but sources are suggesting anywhere from $199 to $249 though it will likely be the latter seeing as how HTC’s October sales numbers indicated a 60% drop in annual sales revenue for the Taiwanese manufacturer.
HTC and Verizon will be teaming up tomorrow at a press event in New York to likely unveil the Droid DNA which will be released next week. The phablet has already been made available in Japan with great success and will be launching in China and Taiwan in early December.
It looks as though the Droid DNA and Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2 will battle it out to become king of the phablet hill. Both smartphones offer supreme internal hardware for basically anything a user wishes to do, though the Droid DNA has an unprecedented crystal-clear display.
