HTC Butterfly hits storesin Russia, rest of Europeto follow soon

Just ten days after the HTC Butterfly hit
Australian shores, now the 5", 1080p
smartphone is finally making its way to
Europe's stores, specifically those in
Russia.


The device should make the Russians
quite happy as they are the first in Europe
to have the opportunity to purchase the
first Android smartphone with a full HD
display.



The price however is a little steep at €692
(RUR27,990). Having in mind though, that
smartphones in Russia tend to be a bit
overpriced, we expect the HTC Butterfly
to sell for less when it finally makes its
way to Western Europe.


That kind of cash gets you a 5.0" Super
LCD3 screen of FullHD resolution and
Gorilla Glass 2 protection for it. Inside
there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro
APQ8064 SoC with a quad-core 1.5GHz
Krait CPU and Adreno 320 GPU as well as
2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (with a
microSD card slot).
At the back, there's an 8 megapixel
primary camera with 1080p video
recording, 2.1 megapixel front facing
camera. Connectivity is covered with Wi-
Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS
+ GLONASS, NFC.
