HTC's Butterfly J series has often been used to showcase the best specs the company can offer, although they are launched as Japanese exclusives, sadly for the rest of us non-Japanese consumers. The new J Butterfly (Butterfly 3) is the newly launched model and it the most highly spec’d smartphone HTC has made so far. Yes, the company that has been launching flagships for fun has topped itself again.
The J Butterfly is better than the One M9 and One M9 Plus in a side by side specs comparison and is a mix of the pair, but it certainly lags behind in terms of design. That's the main difference to consider here as well as that Japan exclusivity. This is probably the most boring looking flagship quality smartphone HTC has made for some time, and it lends weight to the opinion that the company is losing its design touch.
So the looks are nothing to get too excited about, but the specs might be if you’re into that kind of thing. Qualcomm's headline making 64-bit Snapdragon 810 is the processor of choice in the Butterfly 3. The 810 has been overheating according to many reports, while Qualcomm says this is not the case it has had a controversial start on the market. The J Butterfly will provide another test for the chip, hopefully it will be more of a powerhouse than a heater for your pocket.
The 5.2-inch Quad HD screen we first saw on the One M9+ has made the journey to the J Butterfly, with a pixel density of 565ppi we should add. 3GB of RAM provides the grunt for the handset, while a 2,700 mAh battery will hopefully keep the high end hardware running for long periods. Elsewhere there is a 20 megapixel rear camera with dual lenses, and a very enticing 13 megapixel front facing snapper; take that selfie phones. Out of the box the HTC J Butterfly comes with 32GB of built in storage, but it also comes with a micro SD card slot so you can expand the space if you need. As you would probably expect, this LTE device comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop with HTC's own Sense 7.0 UI on top.
