HTC announces Butterfly S flagship smartphone

The Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC has unveiled the Butterfly S – a new flagship smartphone that strangely enough does not support LTE.

Still the new device has its strong points – it comes with a 5-inch sensor Super LCD 3 display at Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels, 440 ppi), Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the display and a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor at 1.9 GHz.

The smartphone also includes 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory and 25 GB of Dropbox cloud service, a microSD card slot (up to 64 GB), a rear UltraPixel camera with a BSI sensor and support for 1080p video, a front 2.1 MP camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. The device has a GPS receiver and a 3200 mAh battery too. As with many other HTC devices the Butterfly S supports Beats Audio, HTC BoomSound and HTC Zoe.

The smartphone measures 144.5 x 70.5 x 10.6 mm and weighs 160 grams. The Butterfly S runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Pricing is unknown as of now.
