Camera And Internal Storage
As just mentioned, this exciting device from HTC features an Ultrapixel 4MP camera, just like the one seen in the HTC One. The Ultrapixel technology is known to produce exceptional pictures, however, users have reported that the quality goes down a bit during low-light situations. However, it is said that daytime performance is so good that it makes the phone worth. The Ultrapixel sensor on the rear of this device is capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels, and is assisted with autofocus and LED flash. The phone packs 2GB of RAM, which will prove more than sufficient for most users. The phone will come with 16GB of ROM and a microSD card slot which can take cards of up to 64GB in size.
Processor And Battery
The phone will feature the Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) chipset clocked at 1.9 GHz, which arguably is among the most powerful chipsets around. Coupled with 2GB of RAM, buyers won’t have to look further for a few years, all the hardware makes the device quite future proof. Games, videos and anything else you throw at the device should run smooth. It is interesting to note that the APQ8064T is the successor of the APQ8064, which we saw on the Nexus 4 a few months back. So you can imagine how powerful the device would be. The phone features a great 3200mAh battery, which pretty much is like the icing on the cake and would make any smartphone user die for. You can expect the phone to go over one hectic day of usage without a problem, and up to 2 full days for average and moderate users.
Display And Features
The phone features a 5 inch Full HD display. The panel uses a Super LCD3 technology which provides great viewing angles as well as great colour reproduction. A 5 inch screen size might not suit everyone, especially people who have comparatively smaller hands. The big screen paired with a massive battery means that the phone will be quite heavy at 160 grams. Among other features, the phone supports MHL video output and DLNA to make connectivity super-easy for users.
Comparison
The phone can be compared to many devices, including Nexus 4, HTC’s own, the One, OPPO Find 5, Sony’s Xperia Z, etc. However, one thing to note here is that the Butterfly S packs the largest battery among all the mentioned phones. This might play a big role in how people decide for or against buying the phone.

Conclusion
The HTC Butterfly S seems like the best option for people who’re looking for 5 inch phones. There is no word on price or availability yet, but we hope to see the phone priced between 33-38,000 INR, which would really put it on the top of buyers’ minds. HTC delayed the release and availability of the One, but to capture buyers, they will have to do better this time, because what they have on offer is a spectacular device with classy looks and the best of the available hardware at this point in time.
