HTC One mini

HTC ONE MINI REVIEW

The HTC One mini is beautiful Android smartphone that offers near-perfect performance. The HTC One's excellent build quality is dented only marginally by a slight tendency to run hot during our tests. Here's PC Advisor's HTC One review. Updated, 30 September 2013. It's worth pointing out that the HTC One mini full-HD display won a lot of accolades and even was considered one of the best displays in the premium segment. The HTC One mini features a 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 display that sports a resolution of 720x1280 pixels and pixel density of 341ppi. The company has also used Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the device, making it stronger, and more scratch-resistant. The Super LCD 2 display doesn't gives the fullest colours or the deepest blacks like AMOLED displays do, but it is a bright panel at nearly all times. Colours on the One mini are quite vibrant nevertheless, and consistently reproduced well. The viewing angles were never a problem. The display is not very reflective, and sunlight-legibility was acceptable. Reading text on the device was always crisp and clear against white backgrounds. Typing on the 4.3-inch display of the One mini would be imprecise for large-handed people, though we assume that there's nothing that Swype can't fix. Other changes are evident as well. The flash moves above the camera lens from the side, and the Mini's power button gets a different finish (since the Mini lacks the infrared beam to control the TV.) The volume rocker also splits into two distinct parts that stand out a little more from the surface; I actually prefer this to the One's shallow, ridged bar, though the buttons still weren't quite as easy for me to find with my thumb at first. You just have to know they're there. While the Mini uses the same main camera as the One -- with a 4-megapixel "UltraPixel" sensor with an LED flash and 1080p HD video recording -- the front-facing camera drops from 2.1 megapixels with 1080p HD recording to 1.6 megapixels with 720p HD video capture. Beyond these tiny adjustments, the handset's port placement and dual speaker grille proportions remain the same. You'll plug the Micro-USB into the bottom of the phone and the headset jack into the top. As with the One, there's no microSD card slot for extra storage, so you'll need to make do with the Mini's 16GB. When it comes to software, the Mini is happily up-to-date with Android 4.2.2 topped with HTC's Sense 5.0 interface. Yes, BlinkFeed commands the main home screen by default with social networks, news outlets, and other content you set up. You can't turn off BlinkFeed in the settings, but you can shunt it to a secondary or tertiary screen. I don't mind it in as a second screen, myself, but I join my colleague Brian Bennett in wishing I could smoothly scroll through items in the feed rather than jump from group to group. HTC's BoomSound speakers lie beneath micro-drilled holes both above and below the screen, bringing plenty of oomph, as advertised. Prolonged listening through the smartphone won't grate on the ears, although the sound quality isn't quite as bass-rich as the One. HTC also snuck in a single LED notification light into the top speaker -- one of the more refined ways we've seen light-up reminders integrated into smartphone design. The not-quite-standard Android button layout remains, with a HTC logo separating back and home keys. As it's running Android 4.2.2, however, HTC now offers you the option to switch some of the menu button functionality to the home key, launching Google Now with a swipe and accessing the options menu within apps. There's a dual-core, 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 processor (another component that made an appearance in the HTC First), along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. Given that the One mini is completely sealed, there's no opportunity to expand storage through a microSD card, but it's a pretty respectable chunk of storage for a phone below the flagship level. Smaller phone, smaller screen and yes, smaller battery. At 1,800mAh, we wondered where that would place the device when it came to lasting out the day. In our video looping test, with brightness at 50 percent and social networks polling at 15-minute intervals, we got just over six hours. It's a bit disappointing, frankly. While it's a half-hour less than the full-sized HTC One mini managed, we were hoping that a drop in resolution and screen size would translate to battery savings. Even during more casual use, we'd have to plug it in after around 10 hours' use. Be prepared to have a charger close at hand. HTC's One Mini has a striking design, Android 4.2.2, terrific external speakers, and a strong midtier feature set.

HTC 8XT

HTC 8XT REVIEW

The name of HTC's 8XT leaves you guessing how this Windows Phone 8 model should represent an advance over last year's HTC 8XT. Introduced very late in Windows Phone 8's product cycle, this decent, midrange phone is pretty, but it doesn't stand out enough to draw Sprint customers over to a new OS. If the HTC 8XT looks familiar that’s because it’s practically a splitting image of the HTC Windows Phone 8X which debuted on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon last year. While it’s a bit of a design redux, in some respects that’s a good thing. The 8XT shares the sleek lines, slim profile, and rounded edges of the 8X which helped that device really stand out from the crowd. The phone comes in a similar blue hue as well, though the 8XT sports a two-tone light and dark blue paint job as opposed to the 8X’s uniform color scheme. Measuring 5.2 inches tall by 2.6 inches wide and just 0.39 inch thick, the 8XT has roughly the same physical footprint too. That said, the 8XT weighs a heavier 4.9 ounces compared with the 8X’s 4 ounce heft. Even so, the gadget is compact enough to slide into tight pockets and other cramped locations easily. I also found the phone’s gently curved back comfortable to grip. On front of the 8XT is a 4.3-inch LCD with a WXGA resolution (800x480 pixels). That’s far below the sharpness of more expensive phones with full HD resolutions (1,920x720). Still, while it won’t exactly blow your socks off, the screen is bright enough and colors are sufficiently vivid so as not to detract from video, text, and other mobile content. HTC also claims that the 8XT features its BoomSound audio technology which first appeared on its HTC One flagship. In a nutshell, there are two front-firing stereo speakers each equipped with their own amp. The goal is to boost the volume of music, video, and other audio. Above the display is the 8XT’s 1.6MP front camera for self portraits and video chat. Running along the bottom of the screen are typical Windows Phone controls for Back, Start, and Search. There are no physical keys on the 8XT’s left edge but you’ll find a thin volume rocker and dedicated camera button on the right side. As with the 8X, these keys lie extremely flush with the phone’s surface almost to a fault. I found them very tricky to locate and push blindly especially when holding the device sideways in landscape orientation. Up top sits a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a trim power key. Around back is the 8MP main camera and LED flash. They’re both housed in a metallic circle too, which is one difference from the Windows Phone 8X which has no such design element. Running Windows Phone 8, the HTC 8XT uses Microsofts much-touted “Live Tile” UI where square and rectangular application tiles actively twinkle with alerts and other data in real time. Living on the vertically scrolling homescreen, you can also move tiles around, resize them, or delete them to suit your tastes. The 8XT is powered by an 1800 mAh battery and is driven by a 1.4GHz dual core Snapdragon processor that moves things along rather nicely. The HTC 8XT is trim and attractive, runs long, and takes quality pictures. It also connects to Sprint’s growing 4G LTE network and has powerful features.

HTC Butterfly S

HTC BUTTERFLY S REVIEW

The Butterfly S, from HTC, was first available for purchase on July 2013 (3 months ago). The HTC Butterfly S comes with a spacious 5-inch Super LCD3 display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. We’re very impressed with it. The screen is extremely sharp and detailed, with a pixel density reaching 441 pixels per inch. You won’t be able to notice none of the annoying jagged icon edges or blurry text. We love the rich and saturated colors on this display. They are not hugely overblown as on AMOLED screens, but still deliver quite the punch. The Butterfly S does not have the brightest of screens. Its peak luminance reaches 360 units and that’s perfectly fine for using the device indoors, but is puts a bit of an extra strain on your eyes when you try to read the display outdoors. Viewing angles are fabulous. Colors don’t fade out even when you tilt the phone to most extreme angles. The HTC Butterfly S doesn't deviate much from the original Butterfly handset. The design of the Butterfly S remains pretty much unchanged, except for the additional front-facing BoomSound speakers like on the HTC One. This is a good design effort by HTC, as it makes sense for the audio to be directed straight toward the user rather than from the rear or the sides where it can sound muffled. The Butterfly S sports a 4-megapixel rear-facing UltraPixel camera and a wide-angle front-facing camera just like the HTC One. However, while the One has optical image stabilization, the Butterfly makes do with software image stabilization which simply isn’t as good. In addition, one of the key drawbacks of an UltraPixel camera is your limited ability to crop photos after you’ve captured them; this is a compromise made in return for the promise of better low-light performance. While photos shot in bright daylight turn out more than acceptable with balanced colours, it is in low-light situations that things get a bit hairy. I found that the Butterfly S often had trouble focusing accurately in low light and the photos it produced tended to be on the grainy side with the noise-reduction algorithm taking its toll on detail and sharpness. In comparing the photos shot by the Butterfly S and the Nokia Lumia 925 at the same time in the same location with both devices set on Auto mode, the Lumia 925 emerges as the victor more often than not, managing to capture more detailed and better-exposed low-light photos with more clarity. HTC’s camera app on the Butterfly S remains largely unchanged from the One. It features everything you’d expect from a modern Android camera app, including continuous burst capture with Best Shot, HDR photo and video capture, sweep panorama, slow motion video, 60fps video capture, face detection and a range of filters which I have never used. The app is well laid out and easy to understand; the Gallery app is similarly well thought out. It automatically organizes your captured photos into Events based on location and date/time tags, integrates with services like Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and Dropbox and features a rich set of image editing functions. HTC’s Zoe camera features are present on the Butterfly S; allowing you to save the exact frame you want to share out of a Zoe, generate a sequence shot, fix smiles in group photos, remove unwanted objects, smoothen skin, fix lighting, adjust face contours, enhance eyes and more. Zoes are comprised of a 3-second video clip and 20 images, but these 20 images will no longer clutter your Dropbox Camera Upload folder; instead, only the main frame will be uploaded. The Butterfly S also features Video Highlights, where a 30-second video comprised of a combination of stills and Zoes is automatically generated from any event. With Sense 5 on Android 4.2.2, there are now more built-in themes, but there does not seem to be a way to add more. As usual for an HTC device, the Butterfly S features Beats Audio in software that can easily be toggled on and off. Beats Audio improved the sound emanating from the Butterfly S’s speakers but does not benefit my listening experience much when my Jabra Revos are involved due to its propensity to overemphasize bass frequencies over everything else. The built-in music player remains top-notch with a clean and attractive user interface, a lyrics visualizer and artist image display. Listening to music and podcasts is definitely enjoyable with the Butterfly S’s front facing stereo speakers; you won’t feel the need to hook up a Bluetooth speaker to this smartphone to achieve sound that is nearly room-filling. The Butterfly S runs Android 4.2.2 out of the box with Sense 5 onboard. Sense 5 remains clean, modern and enjoyable to use with flat and minimalist gradients, elegant iconography and typography used throughout the user interface, although the adoption of newer Android UI standards such as the card-style lists and left-hand pull-out menu mean that HTC’s custom apps can feel a little dated and inconsistent next to third-party Android applications. Drop-down lists and icon toolbars in Sense 5 also seem to occupy more space than their vanilla Android counterparts; ditto for status bar icons which look unnecessarily large on the Butterfly S’s display. This device is an absolute performer in the battery life department. Charging it up to full and then leaving it unplugged throughout the night (around 8 hours) resulted in a negligible battery drain of 3%. I also found that the Butterfly S was able to reliably go through a full day of mixed use on HSPA+ without requiring a charge, and was able to stay powered throughout a night of clubbing. You will probably get 2 days or more out of the Butterfly S if you use it sparingly. The HTC Butterfly S boasts a 3,200mAh battery and a half day of uptime, a powerful processor, and a brilliant screen. Its camera performs well in low light, and a microSD card slot offers the option of adding more storage.

HTC Desire 200

HTC DESIRE 200 REVIEW

Looking to build on the success of the HTC Desire 200 launched in July 2013, the HTC Desire 200 packs a range of low-end specs that are more than sufficient for a budget device. The basic 3.5” screen comes with 320x480 pixels resolution, which even at that small size only returns 165 ppi density, so it's unlikely that you will use it for anything but basic tasks, rather than staring at it for hours browsing or watching vids. It is otherwise sufficiently bright outside, with good color representation and tolerable viewing angles, but due to the low resolution everything looks pretty ugly and pixelated. HTC is pushing the handset's audio smarts, boasting Beats Audio and bundling "our highest quality in-ear headset" with the handset. The HTC Desire 200 also comes with a 5MP camera which HTC says is super intuitive to use, and runs HTC Sense over Android (although HTC hasn't deigned to tell us which iteration). Wonderfully, HTC has provided an illustration of the handset's size, pegging it at 'a bit bigger than a credit card. The camera is probably the best that one can ever have from HTC series of phones. Overall experience is fast and shrewd. The HTC Desire 200 is a feature-rammed phone with the hardware to support it. It is got a huge screen with the 1GHz processor underneath, and the Sense UI is a system that keeps getting better with every iteration. HTC Desire 200 it just works as you want it to as a phone and an internet tablet pc at the same time. An awesome customization option on the home screen makes it even more personal. It has smooth edges that are comfortable for long phone calls. It has 3.5 inch AMOLED screen is bright and vivid. Internet Browsing is most satisfying than on any other phones. Well its battery life is depending on how you plan to use this phone, the battery will either be garbage, or it will last for few hours or for a day with active use. HTC Sense widget auto-refresh time can drain battery easily. This is a phenomenal device. The screen is lovely, the design is slick and processor makes everything happen in a flash. The HTC Desire 200 is one of the compact and simple smart phones for users who want to discover the platform of Android without having to make a major pay out on mobile.

HTC Desire 600 dual sim

HTC DESIRE 600 DUAL SIM REVIEW

Shortly after the release of the One, HTC announced the Desire 600 dual sim with many of its big brother's features mainly HTC Sense 5, Blinkfeed and Boomsound. It also includes Video Highlights, but omits the Infra Red blaster and Ultrapixel sensor (2.0µm). Instead, it's replaced with a standard 8MP BSI camera sensor (1.4µm) and the first version of the HTC ImageChip - this also means that the Zoe features are lost in the process. It joins the fleet of other HTC dual sim specialists like last year's Desire SV and One dual sim (limited to specific markets). The HTC Desire 600 features a 4.5-inch Super LCD2 qHD panel that sports a resolution of 540x960 pixels and pixel density of 245ppi. We were a bit disappointed that HTC has not equipped the phone with at least a 720p display. Instead of the ultrapixel (a low-light loving sensor with 2.0µm pixel size), the Desire 600 uses a standard wide angle 8MP BSI sensor with 1.4µm pixel size, but keeps the same f2.0 aperture and 28mm unique wide angle lens as the flagship. It also includes the older HTC ImageChip from last year's flagships which gives us powers like HDR, burst shooting and VideoPic (take still shots during video capture) as well as super fast shutter/focus, slow motion video and flash metering: however it loses all the fancy Zoe features, which are enabled by a newer ImageChip 2 on the HTC One. Video recording maxes out at 720p; most likely due to the lesser capabilities of the Snapdragon 200 SOC. Daylight pictures are of good quality but slightly hurt by HTC's default aggressive digital sharpness: thankfully you can always reduce sharpness using the Image Adjustments menu in the camera app. In terms of low light it's perfectly usable when scaled down, especially indoor shots but 1:1 detail gets seriously degraded due to the smaller pixel size. We don’t blame you if you find it hard to spot the Desire 600 amongst other phones on display in a store. The handset has bland looks and doesn’t have a premium feel as well. It’s fairly slim at 9.3mm and quite light at 130g. The front houses a 4.5-inch Super LCD2 display but there’s no mention of any scratch protection. There are chrome accents around the top and bottom where the speaker and earpiece are placed. The back cover is removable and feels quite cheap although the texture does offer good grip. Ports and buttons take their usual spot and are within reach of your fingers, which is good. The Desire 600 has taken the capacitive button layout from the One so you’re left with just two usable buttons. There are two microSIM slots under the hood and a hot-swap microSD card slot for memory expansion. Overall, the Desire 600 isn’t very desirable as far as aesthetics are concerned. Sure, it’s comfortable to hold and use but we can’t shake that cheap feel of the chassis. The 600 comes with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and the beautiful Sense 5 skin that we fell in love with on the One. Everything’s pretty much the same as we left it on the One except for the addition of dual-SIM management. The 600 sold in India comes bundled with a whole mess of browser shortcuts in the app drawer, which are nothing but annoying. The interface is quick but certain animations stutter especially when you hit the home button. The display tops out with a pixel count of 254ppi, which may seem low but the low pixel count isn’t really much of an issue. The display has good brightness and sunlight legibility isn’t bad either. The colours are quite vibrant as well which is good for movies and games. The Desire 600 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8625Q running at 1.2GHz. This is a quad-core chip based on ARM’s Cortex-A5 architecture and is the exact same unit powering the Samsung Galaxy Win or Quattro as it’s known here. Despite the 1GB of RAM and four cores, the Desire 600 manages up to 720p video while 1080p playback struggles badly. The 600 features Boom Sound just like the One which is probably the highlight of this phone. While the sound isn’t very crisp at high volumes like the One, it’s certainly loud and detailed. You can actually enjoy a movie or a concert on the phone without the need for earphones. Another good thing is that Beats Audio is system wide now so you can have it enabled even with third party audio and video players. The stock video player supports MKV and AVI as well which is nice. You also have the option to capture a screenshot and battery levels and system is also displayed. There’s also FM Radio onboard. The Desire comes with 8GB of onboard memory out of which 4.6GB is usable. The Desire 600 sports a removable back cover and 1,800mAh battery. Underneath the cover is a sea of red (including the battery). It's quite a nice touch and looks great, though it's just a shame not many will actually get to see the inside. The SIM card slots are also found here, alongside the microSD card slot. The HTC Desire 600 is one of the very few smartphones in this price segment that offer dual-SIM connectivity. While the phone offers a good package incorporating good build quality and a great feature set.

HTC Desire U

HTC DESIRE U REVIEW

Ever since its flagship release, the HTC Desire series has always had something desirable for crowds of various types. One of HTC’s recent releases, the dual-core HTC Desire X for the mid-range market, has found a pretty yet less powerful sibling in the HTC Desire U. Packing a 4.0-inch WVGA (800×480) Super LCD screen, the HTC Desire U’s display is a pleasure to the eye. It may not be the Full HD experience that you’d get from certain high-end Android phones, but with a pixel density of 233 ppi, the display appears very crisp and sharp.The colors are rich and realistic, which may appear subdued and lacking in intensity and saturation compared to those on AMOLED displays. The Desire U’s own package doesn’t specify which particular chipset model is in use in the device, but it does mention that a Qualcomm S4 is powering the phone. It’s a single-core processor ticking up to a maximum of 1.0 GHz. System info apps also report that a Qualcomm Adreno 200 GPU is onboard. The Desire U comes with only primary camera. There is no secondary camera so you can’t make video calls and that is the huge disappointment. The 5 MP of primary camera provides the resolution of 2592?1944 pixels and features with autofocus and LED flash. You can take pictures in low lighting with LED flash. The camera also provides geo tagging feature. You can record video of the WVGA quality. You can enjoy the music with 3.5 mm jack and loudspeaker. The smartphone uses Beats Audio sound enhancement technology that provides adorable audio and video experience. The Desire U supports vibration, MP3 and WAV ringtones for alert type. The smartphone also support MP3, MP4, eAAC+, WMA and WAV. The Desire U provides 4 GB flash with 512 MB RAM. The internal memory is expandable. You can extend the storage capacity by microSD card up to 32 GB. For wireless connectivity the smartphone uses Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi hotspot. You can also use other connectivity features like 2G/3G, microUSB 2.0, GPRS and EDGE. The Desire U supports GPS with A-GPS capability. The smartphone also support NFC but it is optional. You can hold it in your palm and access using one hand. The smartphone has light weight with the weight of 114 gram. The size of HTC Desire U is 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm. Support for live wallpapers seems missing on the Desire U. The usual way to choose a live wallpaper is through the wallpaper selection dialog in Settings > Personalize > Wallpaper, but the list on the Desire U doesn’t include “Live wallpapers.” But, when I installed live wallpaper apps from the Google Play Store and launched them, I was able to set them as default homescreen wallpapers. So, live wallpapers function after all, although HTC appears to have prohibited the unwary user from setting live wallpapers. The keys of the virtual keyboard are cramped and can be hard to use in portrait orientation, but with the help of the keyboard calibration tool, I was able to “teach” the keyboard about my finger touch patterns. Plus, spelling correction and word completion tools also help a lot, especially since the small keys make mistyping frequent. Trace typing (similar to Swype) is also available, if you don’t feel like tapping. Or, you can use voice-to-text input, but this one needs an active Internet connection. For security, you get the usual fare of screen lock types (lock ring, pattern, PIN, and password). Face Unlock is not available. SIM card lock is also another security option, as well as storage encryption. By default, installation of apps from non-Play-Store sources is disabled; this one’s a security feature, too. The smartphone operates on Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich operating system. The Icecream sandwich OS uses HTC’sense UI to provides the rich quality of user interface. Nowadays the Android Jelly Bean is more popular and Android icecream is outdated OS. The smartphone is powered on 1 GHz processor. The sensors are Accelerometer and proximity sensor. The smartphone powered by Li-Ion 1650 mAh battery. The HTC Desire U is an entry-level phone. It is a budget phone designed for people who don’t need the greatest, the biggest, and/or the fastest. This is not for folks looking for a phone to enjoy the bliss of HD, feel “smarter” with multitasking, or capture hi-def videos and photos. Rather, this is for people needing the basic smart features of an Android phone (e.g., SMS, phone calls, email, Web browsing, social networking, etc.) packaged in an attractively designed phone.

HTC Butterfly

HTC BUTTERFLY REVIEW

On January 2013, we live blogged the HTC Butterfly Launch Event by Mobilink & Brightex for you. HTC Butterfly is a decent Android phone and is an extension of the Droid DNA. Surely, the main attraction of the HTC Butterfly would be its 5" Full HD Super LCD 3 display that boasts of a whopping 441ppi pixel density, and if you are a voracious reader of PDFs and other e-books, surely the HTC Butterfly would make for a decent short term substitute for your dedicated e-book reader. The wide viewing angles also do help when you want to share your latest escapades on video with your mates. Under bright sunlight, the display obviously performs better than your entry level or mid-range smartphones, but chances are you will not be using it too long under such conditions unless you want to take a trip to the nearest optometrist, on the double. We are still in the megapixels race when it comes to cameras on a smartphone, and the HTC Butterfly has not yet made the jump to double digit megapixel territory just yet at 8-megapixels. The HTC One will feature HTC’s very own ‘Ultrapixels’ technology, but that is missing on the HTC Butterfly. You will be able to shoot stills of up to 3,264 x 2,448 pixels in 4:3 mode and 3,264 x 1,840 ones in 16:9 mode, not to mention capturing 6-megapixel stills at 16:9 whenever you are recording video. As for its video, Full HD resolution is not an issue at 30fps, while an LED flash helps you out in low light conditions. The lack of a dedicated shutter button will not sit well with some, especially when you want to capture high resolution images of yourself and your beau. Features that once provided the “wow factor” such as face detection, geotagging and smile shutter are now come as standard. All in all, the HTC Butterfly is a decent camera and video recording device which should be enough for the average man on the street. Sure, your smartphone is a productivity tool, but as the adage goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Hence, the HTC Butterfly also passes with flying colours when it comes to keeping you entertained on the move, be it watching the latest HD-encoded movie to listening to your favourite tunes, or even playing some of the more graphically intensive games on it. I have Temple Run 2 up and running on the HTC Butterfly, and it worked like a charm, even when the in-game protagonist started to outrun Usain Bolt. Dead Trigger is another game that I gave a go, and there were occasions of lag when the undead started to pile up at the front door, but it was the smoothest experience I had to date. Electronic Arts’ Real Racing 3 is another title that took up a chunk of my time during the review. Sure, the accelerometer worked just fine, and everything in game was as smooth as butter - although the cut scenes proved too much for the HTC Butterfly as there were obvious moments of stutter just like how the graphics setting on a computer game is set one bar above of what your hardware configuration can handle smoothly. This is not a big deal though. If you are an audiophile, then getting a good pair of headphones to go along with the HTC Butterfly is highly recommended, as your bass-heavy tracks will sound like a renewed song whenever you plug in your headphones. Sure, the loudspeakers work decently as any other loudspeaker should, but the integration of Beats Audio into the HTC Butterfly clearly makes it worth your while to carry around high bitrate audio files. The HTC Butterfly is a beautiful smartphone, period, and build quality from HTC seems to be consistent most of the time, although there were some misses in the past, but you can tell that the Taiwanese company pulled all the stops when it comes to giving the HTC Butterfly a highly desirable look at a single glass. The presence of a curved glass display is definitely a balm for sore eyes, and there are no ugly looking gaps or ports that dot the entire chassis, thanks to port covers. The thing is, I found the polycarbonate unibody chassis to be rather slippery in my grip, and I am not one who has a case of "Essential Palmar Hyperhidrosis", or in plain English, sweaty palms, so it would be in your (and the HTC Butterfly's, of course) best interest to get a protective case in order to prevent unwanted drops that will surely break your heart (and bank account). Both proximity and ambient light sensors are located to the right of the earpiece, while the 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera is located on the left. You will also find the usual suspects of Back, Home and Task capacitive touch keys right below the screen. The volume rocker on the right side works as it should, and everything external about the HTC Butterfly is drool-worthy if looks are your main concern. If you were to flip the HTC Butterfly over, you will find an 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash right next to it, while the loudspeaker grill is placed at the bottom, accompanied by the Beats Audio logo above. Do take into consideration that the Beats Audio enhancements kick in only when a pair of headphones are plugged in. Oh yeah, just in case the 16GB of internal memory is not enough for you (the stock version comes with approximately 11GB of free space remaining), there is always a microSD memory card slot available for expansion purposes, which you should fill up with other apps, games, and media files in no time via Google Play. There were reports of the HTC Butterfly not going beyond 4 hours on a full charge of its 2,020mAh battery, and I have taken the liberty to give it a go in different situations. Assuming one was to follow my usage pattern as mentioned earlier, I managed to eke out around 14 hours of juice, which is not the most respectable score out there, but it will suffice for the average user. Road warriors would do well to pack the charger wherever they go, and I would recommend you charge the smartphone whenever you are on the road regardless of the battery level, as you can never tell just when you need that extra percentage of juice when you arrive at your destination. I have also tried watching encoded High Definition videos on the HTC Butterfly and with Wi-Fi turned on without any cellular connectivity, and I eked out 5 hours or so, and the battery had dropped to 20% left. This was done with volume on the loudspeakers set to 70%, and I used a third party app known as MX Player for video playback purposes. This is respectable in my books, and I suppose the earlier mentioned 4-hour battery life was a defective unit that needed looking into. Still, it would be nice to see the 2,020mAh battery last longer to keep up with the Joneses, but surely it is not going to top the list of longest lasting high end smartphones in the market in terms of battery life just yet. Of course, having a swappable battery would be a boon to counter a shorter battery life, but that is not an option on the HTC Butterfly. Average would be the best word to describe the battery life. The HTC Butterfly is the most expensive Android smartphone in the market. It's also one of the best Android phones we've used combining a major set of features, a brilliant HD screen and great ergonomics and build quality.

HTC DROID DNA

HTC DROID DNA REVIEW

The HTC DROID DNA was first announced in November 2012 and to date, it is one of the best built smartphones to come into our possession here at mobiles phone arena. It is the first 1080p smartphone to grace the U.S. market and it packs a serious wallop in terms of performance and topnotch specifications. The feature that makes it stand out above the rest of the quad-core crowd: that 5-inch, 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) display. More specifically, this IPS panel -- also known as the Super LCD3 -- is an evolution of the SLCD2 you can find on the One X. If you recall, we declared that device's display to be the best we'd ever laid eyes on; the DNA, however, easily steals that title away. Granted, it's an iterative bump in resolution: the Super LCD2 panel on the One X had packed more pixels than the naked eye could discern, so pushing the density by over 100ppi merely makes the DNA screen sharper and clearer. How good is it? Images appear to just float above the screen. The font rendering is crisper than anything we've ever seen, and 1080p movies look simply stunning. Colors seem to appear more natural (without being overly saturated), the darks are darker and whites are not as harsh to our eyes as they were on the One X. Viewing angles are just as stellar, and you will love to use this phone in direct sunlight because even at 50 percent brightness you can see everything without straining your eyes -- something that we can only say about a select few devices. We give the Super LCD3 display all the praise in the world, because it's the current undisputed champion in the mobile industry. It can't be argued that the 1080p screen is the most beautiful we've laid eyes on to date, but don't go giving your current 720p display the heave-ho just for that single reason. It's an iterative improvement to be sure, and it's love at first sight, but it's a bit more nuanced than any previous bump in resolution. To put it more succinctly: it's difficult to go back to a qHD screen after using 720p for an extended period of time, but we don't have the same reservations going back to the One X+ display after using the DNA. Let's begin our discussion of the DNA camera by stating that we set our expectations to the same level as the One X and X+, since it sports a very similar camera module. Inside that red-rimmed contraption on the back is an 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture, 3.63mm focal length (28mm equiv.) wide-angle lens, BSI sensor, AF and HTC's special Image Chip. Flip over the phone and you'll come face-to-face with a 2.1MP front-facing camera with BSI sensor and 88-degree ultra-wide-angle lens. The usual litany of adjustable settings is here. ISO can be manually set to a max of 800, but we noticed that rating jump up to over 1400 when we took low-light shots on auto or low-light mode. You can also adjust white balance manually, which unfortunately you will want to do more often on the DNA since the auto white balance is a little too warm. You can also choose to use HDR, macro mode or low-light mode and you can also adjust exposure / contrast settings. Since the DNA doesn't offer the ability to lock exposure, adjustments will be needed more often than not. When using the front-facing camera, you can tap the viewfinder to start a three-second timer to get that perfect Facebook profile shot. It's the end of 2012 and quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro is the name of the game for top-end flagship products like the Droid DNA. Specifically, you can expect to enjoy a 1.5GHz APQ8064 paired with an MDM9615m modem, Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB RAM. This thing is as powerful as they come right now, and power users won't be disappointed with its performance. It trucks along swiftly; the speed of the processor, complemented by the efficiency of Jelly Bean, make for a killer combination that certainly kept us happy the entire time we used the phone. To be fair, there are a few more demands on the processor thanks to the higher-res display, but the hiccups this factor caused are the exception rather than the rule. As always, we ran our standard suite of benchmark tests in the hopes of quantifying the performance of the Droid DNA over some of the other quad-core powerhouses we've used recently. Speaking of, the battery life of the DROID DNA is … a letdown. Integrated into the phone is a non-removable 2,020mAh battery. Plain and simple, in a market where many manufacturers are breaching the 3,000mAh threshold, the 2,020mAh battery in the DROID DNA is meager, at best. The most impressive performance I was able to get out of the DNA was 16 hours and nine minutes on fairly light usage. Days where I used the phone more heavily, I was forced to plug into the my Charge Peak 6000 to give the phone a midday boost. Without a midday boost, LEDs and pop-up notifications began telling me it was time to plug in around 5:00 or 6:00 PM. The DROID DNA may not be the perfect smartphone, but it's a sign for better things to come from both HTC and its biggest competitors. It is a new level of design and attention to detail. If display quality is your primary concern, the DROID DNA is likely your best choice.
