News & Reviews:   HTC J Butterfly

While the title of most tech spec topping device in our books remains the Saygus V2, the recently released HTC J Butterfly 3 is also a very feature-filled as well. While it has been released for just Japan only, in terms of tech specs it packs in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 20MP Duo camera and a 5.2-inch display with 2K or quad HD resolution. It also packs in a 13MP front camera along with up to 32GB microSD, 4G LTE, NFC and WiFi a/b/g/n/ac. Oh, and it is both dust and water proof too. While it comes with a familiar design, the J Butterfly 3 has a plastic body which probably allows it to stay usable underwater. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but since it is tied to a Japanese carrier we doubt that it will be coming to Malaysia any time soon.

HTC and KDDI of Japan recently launched the new HTC J Butterfly smartphone for Japanese markets. The smartphone offers the same design as the HTC One M8 except that it is water-proof and doesn't have dual-front BoomSound speakers or the Ultrapixel Duo camera. Other tech specs and features for the HTC J Butterfly include a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage with microSD support, 5-inch full HD display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, supports 4G LTE and packs in Android 4.4. No specific Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but the HTC J Butterfly will be in Japan from late August 2014 and could eventually come to Malaysia hopefully.
