HTC Butterfly review: The droid monarch

18 February 2013
Going by sales in the past year alone, it's easy to forget that HTC still makes some of the best hardware in the smartphone game. Despite the fact that it was the first to release a smartphone with a dual-core Krait chipset, the first to launch a...

      A well written and precise review gsmarena, Kudos!! Now coming to the phone itself, I can't help but feel that HTC makes very small but very glaring omissions, and the problem is it affects usability pretty badly. Like in the case of Power button, a 5" device with power button at the top!?!? and small features like toggle widgets in the notification area also not to mention a music player with some sort of equalizer. I hope sense 5 and HTC One can change that.
      I am specially looking forward for Sense 5.0 coz I own an One X+, so people like me will get updated to it. :-)

        Looks like a good phone then, the bigger question is WHO want a HTC? I had one also once, high end device, but by far the crappiest i ever seen. Never again. I know a lot of former HTC owners who never want one again. Total garbage is what they are good at.

          LG introduced the first dual-core Cortex A9 (Optimus 2X) and the first quad-core Krait (Optimus G).
