HTC has launched the Butterfly 2 for South Asian markets, a
smartphone that was previously launched in Japan as the J Butterfly for KDDI.
The smartphone will be made available from September 2 in Taiwan, and will be
gradually rolled-out to Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand
thereafter. For now, pricing details have not been provided.
The single-SIM HTC Butterfly 2 smartphone is the successor
to the HTC Butterfly launched last year at Rs. 49,990 in India. It runs Android
4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box and features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels)
display. It packs a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor coupled
with 2GB RAM.
The Butterfly 2 comes with 16GB and 32GB of inbuilt storage
options, with expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128GB). It sports a
duo-camera setup as seen on HTC One (M8) (Pictures | Review) with main sensor
at 13-megapixel with dual-LED flash, while a 5-megapixel front-facing camera is
also onboard.
Connectivity options on the Butterfly 2 smartphone include
Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with DLNA, GPS/ A-GPS,
Micro-USB with MHL, GPRS/ EDGE, 3G and 4G LTE connectivity options.
The Butterfly 2 comes with a 2700mAh battery that's rated to
deliver a talk time of up to 23.9 hours on 3G, and standby time of up to 643
hours. It will be available in Blue, Red, and White colour options, measures
145.4x70.2x9.99mm, and weighs 151 grams.
The HTC Butterfly 2 is also water-resistant with IPX5 and
IPX7 ratings, while HTC says the Butterfly is dust-proof as well, with a IP5X
rating. Sensors onboard include an accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient
light sensor, gyro sensor, and barometer.
"HTC Butterfly 2 follows HTC's iconic design and
globally acclaimed user experience," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.
"Its elegant appearance and fantastic performance will certainly provide
consumers with the best experience ever."
The Butterfly 2 also comes with dual front stereo speakers
and HTC's BoomSound technology that is claimed to deliver 25 percent louder
output than the HTC One (M8). The company has also collaborated with Harman, to
feature LiveStage Signal Processing Technology (Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong
only) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). It ships with exclusively designed
JBL in-ear-headphones in Japan.
