Looks very nice, interesting name.

I fear for the battery life on this though, I think it will be horrendous under heavy use.

You would have thought, wouldn't you. But so far reviews and user opinions (for the Droid DNA) suggest it's not too bad.

My next phone I think.

Nice to see that it has expandable memory.

Total storage : 16GB
Expansion card slot supports microSD™ memory card for up to 32GB additional storage (card not included)

RAM : 2 GB

My next phone will either be this or the Oppo Find 5 which is released in 5 Days time.

Any thoughts on possible release date? Probably after CES in January I would imagine?

Does it have a crap plastic shell or is it properly made this time?


From the pics it looks awesome.

What is the battery life like?

What is the battery life like?

from us version reports say 5-6hrs screen on time which is great for the battery it uses! galaxy s3 won't match that only note 2 and razr maxx

I wonder what the price will be... I think enough to break many hopes and dreams.

yeah, it really has to be spot on! nexus 4 in my eyes did some "damage" to the whole over priced smarthphone market so htc needs to price it right, hoping for 400-450 at max.

It's polycarbonate, just like the One X.

I think Butterfly's battery isn't bad.

I know Droid DNA's battery test and that score is better than the others;

What about Deluxe DLX name? I don't get it.

 

[TheOtherOption]

My wait might well be over once this is released looks perfect!

Just need to know when and how much!

 

[Nexus18]

Looks superb! I might have to put the nexus 4 on hold for the time being

Can't see this being any cheaper than £500.

As grudas has said the battery is actually very good, thread over on xda about it and people are getting great battery life from it, as good as the s/xl and gs 3, in fact I would say that it is probably better!

fine for me i like the One X material.

The sticking point is the OS. i am not a fan of HTC sense that much as it does not get the latest Android update.

i have a one X and it still doesnt have jelly bean

Win on the SD card slot (HTC in a step in the right direction shocker), a lose on the 32Gb max, i have a 64Gb card!
