Underground, the Butterfly is touted to directly compete with the iPhone 5 but to be honest this phone really competes with other Android devices sporting 5″ screens and up. The Butterfly’s main selling point is the screen package: protective Corning Gorilla Glass 2 with a crisp 1080p full HD display that does 440 pixels per inch.

Some Butterfly models tout LTE capabilities but we’re not sure if such units are available here in the Philippines.
Specs include:

8MP main camera with 2.1MP front camera
Beats amplifier audio (we’re not sure if HTC includes a pair of Beats earphones since they discontinued this bundle)
