It’s time for one of our regular comparisons of two smartphones of
the moment and today it’s the turn of the HTC M7 and the HTC Butterfly.
Both are Android phones and both of these also fit the trend for
larger-screened smartphones with whopping 5-inch displays. The HTC
Butterfly is now official but the HTC M7 on the other hand has been
leaked so at present any details we give you on the M7 are as yet
unconfirmed. Let’s take a look then at the HTC M7 vs. HTC Butterfly to
see more.
Details of the HTC M7
are rather scarce at the moment so we cannot bring you our usual
point-by-point comparison between this and the HTC Butterfly. However
what has been leaked so far is pretty impressive and it’s reported that
this will be a flagship device to release in Q1, 2013. The HTC
Butterfly has already just released as the HTC J Butterfly in Japan and also on Verizon for the US where its version is known as the Droid DNA. HTC has dropped the J
of the original title and so it will be released in other world markets
sometime in the next few months as simply the HTC Butterfly.
We’ve previously posted about both of these phones and we’ll tell you
what has been rumored so far about the HTC M7 first. Leaks suggest that
this phone will have a Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core processor, 5-inch
1080p full HD display, LTE connectivity and a 13-megapixel rear camera.
Apparently it has a unibody aluminum design, sure to attract many
consumers we feel, and HTC certainly seems to have a lot of faith in
this upcoming handset as it seems that 4 to 5 million units will be
produced for its launch.
Specs and features for the HTC Butterfly are now official and
confirmed though. It has a 1.5GHz quad-core Krait processor, 5-inch
Super LCD3 display with resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 441ppi, 2GB of RAM
and 16GB of internal storage (11GB user available), expandable with
microSD to 32GB. There’s also an 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus,
LED flash and 1080p video capture and also a 2.1-megapixel front-facing
camera also with 1080p video. Add to this LTE connectivity (where
applicable), NFC, a 2020 mAh battery and the fact it’s running on
Android 2.1 Jelly Bean, upgradeable to 4.2, with HTC Sense UI 4+ and you
have a pretty irresistible package.
Although less is known about the HTC M7 at the moment it’s possible
that its release could beat the global release of the HTC Butterfly,
although the latter is already available to pre-order
in the UK. It’s thought that HTC might want to pip the Galaxy S4 to
the post to get ahead in sales but at the moment we cannot verify this.
From what we know so far (admittedly little) about the HTC M7 it looks
as though it will have a better camera than the HTC Butterfly and we
think that a unibody aluminum design will appeal to a lot of people.
It’s too soon to tell though and we’ll be following developments on the
M7 to bring you more news on specs and features as we hear it. Of
course the same goes for the HTC Butterfly as pricing and world release
times have not yet been detailed.
We’re interested to know what you think of these handsets. Maybe you
had already heard about the HTC Butterfly and were thinking of making
it your next smartphone choice? However now the HTC M7 has come to
light you may want to hold off on the Butterfly until you know more
about the M7?
