The HTC Butterfly is an Android-based, 4G LTE-capable smartphone designed and developed by HTC. First announced for release in Japan by Japanese carrier KDDI as the HTC J Butterfly, the J Butterfly was released in Japan on 9 December 2012 as the successor to the HTC J. Outside of Japan, in other Asian countries, the phone was released as the HTC Butterfly. The Chinese and Russian versions of the Butterfly do not have a microSD slot. In the United States, the Butterfly was released as the HTC Droid DNA as a Verizon exclusive: supporting wireless charging, but lacks a MicroSD slot.[5] It is the second smartphone in the world to feature a 1080p display, after Oppo's Find 5.[6][7] The phone has Android version 4.1, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, and an 8-megapixel camera. It comes with 2 GB of RAM and a 2,020 mAh battery.[4]

The Butterfly is waterproof and has a 5-inch "Super LCD 3" display with full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels). This translates to a pixel density of 440 ppi.[4] In comparison, The HTC One X offers 312 ppi. The Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD(HD has 720p display) at 312ppi, the iPhone 5's "Retina display", 326 ppi, and the Nokia Lumia 920, 332 ppi.[8] The display is manufactured by Sharp , JDI.[8]

In India it was launched at a price of 44,900 rupees, making it the most expensive Android smartphone ever. But after the launch of Vertu Ti for 6,00,000 rupees, it does not hold that title anymore.
