Not available in the UK, it's worth reading about the HTC Butterfly to whet your appetite for the full HD smartphones we expect this year. But we wouldn't say it is worth paying over the odds for a grey import.

We do like many of HTC's Sense widgets and there's a few nice touches throughout the OS that you won't find on any other Android phones. We've only used the Butterfly for a few hours so we can't make a final judgement on performance. However, our...

Outstanding full HD display ; Thin, well constructed design ; Dual notification lights

Awful battery life ; Occasional performance hiccups ; Some annoying ergonomics

The HTC Butterfly's 5in, full HD screen is a marvel and its thin design quickly becomes appreciated. However, poor battery life, some odd ergonomics and HTC's tired Sense UI are all letdowns. Add a lack of 4G to that and we'd advise you give this one a...

No microSD card slot; only 11GB of user-available memory, Non user-replaceable battery, No dedicated camera key, Only available on Verizon, Large amount of unnecessary Verizon bloatware takes up precious internal memory

HTC has ticked all the right boxes with the DROID DNA, creating one of the most attractive offerings currently available on the US market. The combination of the handset's 5" 1080p display and Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro not only guarantees...

Great display, High color accuracy, Full HD, Good build quality, Application performance, The vibrant display and the good build quality look as if they were made out of one piece. The Droid DNA is comfortably in the hands despite its large 5.0-inch...

Mediocre camera, Limited storage without expandability, Average battery runtimes, Non-removable battery, High price, The internal storage is not very generous with 16 GB. A micro SD slot for expandability would have been nice

The Butterfly is powered by a more efficient quad-core SoC this time around. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC replaces Nvidia’s Tegra 3 chip and will most likely be seen in their upcoming One handset as well. Coupled with a whopping 2GB of RAM, there’s...
