The J Butterfly’s display features a 440ppi
resolution, which is simply outstanding. Current pictures floating
around showing an up-close comparison between the iPhone 5 and J
Butterfly’s screen show an obvious difference in the J’s favor, as
should be expected from the 1920×1080 resolution. The display is fitted
nicely within a thin bezel.
Aside from the display, the J Butterfly features
the same red/black coloring of the HTC J. Inside the device, you’ll find
2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, microSD card slot and a quad-core
1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor. Comes with
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and Beats Audio installed.
There’s also an 8MP rear
camera, which can take still images up to 3280×2464, and record videos
in 1080p. The battery has a 2,020mAh capacity.
Within its 140g, 9.1mm waterproof package, there is more to tempt the
HTC enthusiast. The HTC J Butterfly is equipped for global use --
through NFC, LTE, and CDMA/GSM/UMTS/GPRS radios. In addition, the
handset has a microSDHC expansion, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11a/b/g/n
WiFi.
The J Butterfly is a Japan-only model, but HTC has
been quoted as having said that the beautiful display found in this
phone will be showing up in other handsets in various markets. The
device is slated for release in early December, although a specific date
wasn’t provided. Currently, the HTC Japan website just says “Coming
Soon”.
