What do you guys think about this? And do you think you will be getting it if it comes out in the US?
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57533910-94/htc-j-butterfly-5-inch-smartphone-destined-for-japan/
Also do you think it will be popular or less popular like what happened to the rezound?
I personally might get it off of ebay if it turns out to be close to as popular as the HOX
With the name butterfly, no it will not be as popular as the one x lol Hopefully its made for chicks because I refuse to buy a phone with that name

Well it is aimed toward Japan currently so if it did come to the US they may change the name to something better. The only reason i would want it is because the specs from what ive seen are better then the specs of the HOX+ which is supposed to be coming out in the US.

Yes I would definetly get it if it comes to the US with a different name. Even if its not a flagship there will be devs to make it better

Check out the HTC DLX speculation thread. It appears that they are pretty much the same phone, except it hasn't been released.
I know I want one tho!

I think they might be the same phone if you compare the pic from the like in that thread compared to the pic from the link
Edit: Actually they might be the same phone however the J Butterfly is the Japan variant and the DLX is the US variant. That could be a possibility?
It is the same phone.

Its not the same phone. The hboot on the j butterfly states it as the DLX_J. On the ADR6450 the code name is just DLX. So the butterfly is just a varient. That's why HTC stated that phone would not be released in the US and that a similar one would, more then likely the ADR6450.

I won't be buying it. Awesome phone but a battery that small just won't cut it. And it's a 1080p screen so I'm gonna say that battery will be gone with less than an hour of screen time.

The Razr Maxx HD is coming with a 3300 mah battery. If HTC plans on putting a 2500mah battery mixed with that 5 inch display, expect battery life to be horrid. I hope they up the battery, that device looks very promising and it would be a shame for them to ruin it with something so simple.
Edit: Also just read that it's rumored to have a non-removable battery. The new Snapdragon S4 pro it comes equipped with does sound great tho.

At least the S4 Pro shouldn't have any problems handling 4g as far as battery life is concerned. The battery size is honestly the only deal breaker.
Samsung Galaxy S3
As long as the battery can last me threw my 16hour day its all good with me. My thunderbolt has no problem doing that and neither did my rezound. I'm sure the s4 will only help. 2500 is still huge compared to the 1400 and 1650 we got before. Stop wining.

Anyone think there will be a rezound 2 or will the dna be the next thing we all jump to?
A few Google employees that "leak" phone info are really loving this phone.
As for my opinion, no it's not a Rezzy 2. The DNA is beast!
The deciding feature for me will be whether or not it has space heater functionality. Without that, it can't truly be the Rezound 2.

16gb of storage is unforgivable. I could have coped with a fixed battery, but being unable to pop in a SD card for more storage - not happening. The cloud is not an acceptable excuse, when data caps are hilariously low. USB OTG is likewise not a good substitute; my phone should not need a tail.
Also, not really encouraged by HTC's history of supporting their phones after launch - for instance, the ICS update which we only got half a year+ later than promised, on top of it having some bugs that will probably never be addressed. JB is a pipe dream.
DNA is amazing and also degraded phone
in few weeks / months
Samsung or other company will release a perfect phone
that's cover those degraded dna got
there no point to get it if u gonna feel bad it in few weeks

Yeah, what Nits said above. But we haven't seen much real data on it, just what was approved by the FCC - and that didn't give us much.
That's what I'm going off of is the rumors I've been reading. I'm new to HTC so I just got the dna less than a month ago. I asked the reps at the store if there was gonna be a newer HTC released this year and all of them didn't even know the S4 was coming out this year let alone provide info on the dna, haha

I would be surprised if they launched a DNA+ and gave it a smaller screen than the current DNA, such as is on the One. Verizon has to have something up their sleeve, but I have yet to see anything i really think is plausible speculation.

It's called being in sales, and there's a level of dishonesty that they can get away with.
It's really hard to sell an S3 or a DNA when someone believes a better phone is coming out in a month. That's a reasonable amount of time for people to put up with an old phone while waiting for the new hotness.

The goal of the salesperson in the store is to get you to sign a contract before you step out the door. That's it. They can't sell you something they don't have, therefore before a launch (or preorder) the next new phone doesn't exist in the salesperson's vocabulary.
As long as you realize the goal of the salesperson is to get you to sign a contract, then you're OK. Caveat emptor.
Personally I never set foot inside those stores.

If I am not mistaken they are both LCD3.
The One has a slightly sharper display due to it being 1080p on a 4.7 inch display as opposed to a 5 inch display. If memory serves me the One has 469ppi and the DNA has 441ppi.
I've got a Galaxy Nexus and it's about time to retire it. I don't know whether to get a DNA or hold out for a One or DNA 2 (or whatever it'll be).
I am due for an upgrade within a month.
What would you do?

I dont think you can go wrong either way honestly. The DNA is a stellar phone. Most people believe it's still on par with the S4 if not better then it. I came form a GNexus and I can honestly say that I would rather have the DNA then suffer another day with that phone. lol. The One is going to be awesome if it ever comes to Verizon but I'm personally tired of the games they're playing about it.
its really up to what you want in the end. they DNA is good enough. the S4 is a bit faster but plastic and has 13 mp cam. the One is premium build quality with 4 ultrapx and a hair slower than the s4...I would recommend the One...i ended up getting a DNA like a couple of weeks before One but am still very happy

I really need better battery life too. I've got an OEM 2100 battery on my nexus and barely get through a work day with about 90 minutes of talk time and 90 minutes of screen time. From what I'm reading both the DNA and One get great battery life.

I believe the DNA one of the devices Sense 5 will be rolling out on. The HTC Butterfly, which is essentially the internation version of the DNA, already has an official Android 4.2/Sense 5.1 leak available.
I wonder how long I'll have to wait if I were to hold out for a One or follow up to the DNA. I sure like the button layout better on the DNA than the One. That home button on the right is stupid IMO.

If you'll be paying Verizon's price, I'd wait out for the One/DNA 2.
Also keep in mind that the DNA has 16gb of memory, while the One comes with 32gb as the base option. I personally would wait a bit longer just for the extra memory.

A "hair slower" is a relative statement. The benchmark differences are exactly what you'd expect from a .2ghz difference, though for real world usage the difference is negligible.
The DNA is great, it's here now, it's marginally different from the One, and it's not very expensive anymore. Especially with the prospect of moonshine S-OFF, which would enable you to get Sense 5 if it doesn't show up in an OTA any time soon, I say go for the DNA.
I'm tempted, but my guess is that I'll just end up disappointed that HTC capitulated to Big Red and locked up the boot loader. Other than the far superior design and build quality, neither of which matter to me as much as performance does, I'm thinking there's not much of an advantage to switching over

I'm just curious....How do you guys switch phones? Do you guys sell the S4 for close to retail price (600-700) and then buy a different phone at retail price? I am just curious as to how hard it is to switch phones without losing a bunch of money.
I will be staying on my S4 most likely...even just stock I think the phone works great, but I thought I would ask how you guys do it.

Just go to swappa.com. Buying, selling, and trading is very easy with that site.

Interesting...well if a really good phone comes out (better than S4) and it will be able to keep an unlocked bootloader maybe I will consider that...as long as the S4 is still worth a good amount of cash...

Don't ship internationally though. Someone tried to scam me last time from that site lol....
HTC/Verizon are one of the world's worst about getting updates. I wouldn't switch

Nope! My household is finally HTC free since switching out the 4th replacement Rezound for a Motorola Razr M for my wife. The lack of support for HTC phones is mind numbing.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
This belongs in the Off Topic Section/Other Devices section. But to answer the question... Nope!

On screen buttons are awesome. You can so all kinds of awesome things with them.

I hate how it takes away from the screen real estate. Pretty much turn a 4.7 into a 4.3...

Or you could have a 4.7 inch screen that becomes a 5 inch screen when the buttons hide in certain apps.
Perspective man. And now that we are starting to slim down on those bottom bezels (moto x) on screen buttons will become more and more attractive.

I'm not a fan of on screen buttons either. I see them as wasted space. I actually used GMD Gesture Control on my GNex and set custom gestures from the right and left sides of the screen. You could also root and flash a ROM with Pie Controls.
I'm not sure if AOKP still has it, but the nav bar widgets and customizations would probably be the only reason I'd have a nav bar.

I'd like to have the HTC One for its FM Radio. But to take the place of the S4. Nope! The S4 battery is tiny (for LTE at least). The One has a 2300mAh battery. Not enough for a full day. Plus non removable.
The only phone I would (and am buying) with a non removable battery is the Motorola Droid Maxx (new one) 3500mAh for non removable is great. 2300 in the One is horrible. Plus don't get me started on the 4MP camera. Might be great for low light. But resolution and clarity. Nope.

No removable battery, no micro sd so nope for me.
