HTC J Butterfly: The Phablet Trend Continues...

HTC J Butterfly

HTC has recently unveiled a new phone, the HTC J Butterfly geared towards the "phablet" crowd. With Android 4.1 Jelly Bean onboard, the HTC J Butterfly is running the newest software at the time of release. Of course, with version 4.2 looming, there are no guarantees as to when the next software update could be available. Like any other HTC device, the HTC J Butterfly has a Sense overlay.

The screen of the HTC J Butterfly is nothing short of spectacular. It features a 1080p display on a 5 inch Super LCD 2 screen. Inside the device is a 1.5Ghz Quad Core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM. There is 16GB of onboard storage available, with a microSD card slot.  On the back of the phone is an 8-megapixel camera with a f/2.0 lens and on the front is a 2 megapixel front facing camera. Powering this device is a 2,020mAh battery.

Compared to the Galaxy Note II, the J Butterfly lacks the massive battery that the Note II has. This gives us the question, is a 2,020mAh battery enough to power the 5-inch device throughout the day? The screen is wonderful, and I am sure it will attract much of the phablet crowd, but how many?
