smartphone to feature a true 1080p full HD super LCD 3 display with Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 2 protection. It boasts an extraordinary 440 pixels per inch
(PPI) on a 5-inch screen for unprecedented in-hand HD experiences that delivers
the maximum pixel clarity available on a smartphone.
Designed to accentuate the incredible
display, the smooth glossy finish and microgrill pattern of the sidewalls echo
the superb styling and power of high tech racing cars. The beautifully crafted
smartphone feels thinner than other devices of a similar size as the edges of
the curved back taper to a mere 4mm for a comfortable feel in the hand or
pocket.
The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro processor,
featuring a quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU, high-performance GPU and a full 2GB of RAM

Amazing Camera
HTC Butterfly has a world-class camera that delivers
fast image capture, great images even in low-light and an easy interface to
capture stills and video. With an 8-megapixel f/2.0 28mm wide-angle lens,
5-level automatic flash, backside illuminated sensor (BSI), and superfast
autofocus, you'll capture amazing moments without the worry of missing a single
one. Instead of choosing between photos and video, HTC
VideoPic™ allows you to capture video and still images at the same time. And by
simply holding the shutter button, Continuous Shooting takes multiple photos at
up to four frames per second to catch all the action.
It also includes a new best-in-class
2.1-megapixel, f/2.0, 88-degree, ultra-wide angle, front-facing camera that
allows more to be captured in self-portraits, and up to four people for group
shots. Auto Portrait makes it easier to take photos of yourself and your
friends with automatic face detection and a countdown timer so you can focus on
your pose and not the shutter button. Capable of capturing 1080p HD video, the
front-facing camera also provides a sharper picture during video chat.
Authentic
Sound
The HTC
Butterfly’s unique built-in headset amplifier and dedicated amp for the
external rear-speaker, helps boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear
sound with less distortion, even at maximum volume. The combination of
amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats
Audio™ allows music to be heard the way the artist intended, and enhances the sound
quality while playing games or watching video.

HTC Butterfly is available at all HTC authorized
retailers and mobile operators – Celcom, DiGi, Maxis, TuneTalk, and U Mobile – at
RRP 2,299 starting end-January.
