Just like last year, HTC has launched a J Butterfly smartphone in Japan this year as well. Set to be made available via a carrier named KDDI, this new device kicks in an impressive array of specifications that make it the company’s flagship handset in the country.
It’s a water resistant device that carries onboard a 5.2-inch Super LCD 3 display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. In contrast, HTC’s worldwide flagship the One M9 features a 5-inch 1080p monitor, while its new and beefy One E9+ kicks in a 5.5-inch QHD panel. Its flagship for India, the One M9+ grabs a 5.2-inch QHD display as well.
Moving on, the J Butterfly runs on a Snapdragon 810 chipset bearing a 64-bit octa core architecture. This brings it in line with all the high-end Android smartphones available out there. A 3GB RAM module and 32GB worth of expandable storage are two of its other important features.
HTC has blessed the new J Butterfly with a 20.2MP main camera that’s accompanied on the back by a depth-sensing secondary snapper meant for providing fancy photography features. On the front face, you’ll find a 13MP selfie unit. The company’s famous BoomSound speakers check in as well.
