HTC Butterfly Review

  • Good

  • Great performance
  • Decent battery back-up
  • Bad
  • A bit overpriced
  • Complicated SIM card tray mechanism
  • Awkward placement of the power/screen lock key

The HTC Butterfly is the company's first 5-inch phone, and more importantly, the first phone to feature a 1080p display. The phone made its first appearance as the J Butterfly in Japan, and later in the US, as the Droid DNA, towards the end of 2012. Of course there were some differences in the hardware, but the basic design wasn't altered much.
