HTC CEO Peter Chou today in Tokyo unveiled the company’s latest flagship smartphone for Japan, the new J Butterfly (HTL23) available on KDDI. This one is based on the HTC One M8 sold elsewhere in the world but a few tweaks.
The phone has much in common with the excellent HTC One (M8) released in the rest of the world earlier this year like the latest HTC Sense 6 experience, HTC Duo Camera for advanced imaging, and an intuitive Motion Launch advanced sensor, the new HTC Butterfly 2 delivers an unparalleled smartphone experience. The smartphone comes equipped with a Duo Camera that features a 13MP camera (rather than the M8’s four-“UltraPixel” unit), a dual flash, and Full 1080p HD Video Recording, producing incredible images and rich, high-quality video. A 5MP front-facing camera also captures superior quality photos, taking beautiful selfies with ease.
But the J Butterfly has a few tweaks that bring it in line with local expectations — it’s waterproof and dustproof, with features like a TV tuner, mobile wallet support, and infrared connectivity. In order to get the phone to be waterproof the dual front BoomSound speakers had to be sacrificed. It is available in 3 colour variants – blue, white and red.
Other than that, this is more or less the same phone as the One M8. It has the same 5-inch, 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 SoC, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal memory with microSD card slot, 5 megapixel front facing camera, 4G LTE and Android 4.4. It also supports the HTC Dot View Case.
The new HTC J Butterfly will be available in Japan on KDDI in late August. Also the company announced that phone will go on sale in Taiwan on September 2nd which will be followed by the launch in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand soon after.
