The HTC Butterfly was one of the first phones to pack a 1080p display, and now we might be seeing an update to it – the HTC Butterfly S.
Not much is known about the device as of the moment, but as you can see in the leaks above, it features a very similar design to the original Butterfly, only packing another set of speakers at the bottom – which probably hints at the HTC BoomSound feature.
Speculations say it might pack a Snapdragon 600 CPU with an UltraPixel camera, but that is yet to be confirmed.
i agree with aw the htc was first to release a 1080p smartphone

dudebro, stop trying to falsify info from gsmarena. anyhow i will show you other newslinks.
maybe what your trying to point out is the fact that the Butterfly was released a little later IN the US.
HTC had a Dec 2012 release of a variant (J Butterfly) of this phone in Japan before they sold it in North America and Europe a little later hence, your confusion.
Heres proof

htc butterfly was released last january of this year. Onthe otherhand the oppo find 5 probably a month or two after. Check mo gsmarena for dates of release you’ll see that the htc butterfly was first to touchbase
I did you know what it says in the bottom? “Disclaimer. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct. ”
Like i said, the HTC website it self doesn’t have the Butterfly listed as the “first full HD smartphone”. Now how do you refute that?

the Butterfly was announced Oct 2012. The Oppo Find 5 was announced on September 2012. They were both released on Jan 2013.

No, the first Full HD smartphone is the Oppo Find 5.

On topic:
I think this is a more attractive package than the HTC One. It looks way more awesome (unless, of course, you really value the aluminum body that much, which I don’t). I hope it comes with a 64GB version… one that’s not a developer exclusive, that is.
Makes me have doubts about getting the PadFone Infinity. Might still go for the PadFone, though.
