Bangalore: At HTC, a Butterfly a day is keeping Apple away. The new Smartphone from HTC is all set to take on the iPhone.Though it’s pricing has been kept under wraps, its features and looks have already got the tech pundits lauding about it. It stands out in its design which is similar to Apple, yet with a bigger 5 inch screen.

And talking about the screen, you can watch and share videos with 1080p full HD display. The screen resolution, as many reviewers agree, is better than iPhone’s.

The Apple iPhone 5 does weigh a little less. Infact, in terms of apps, memory storage and well, because it’s an iPhone, it does offer some tough competition. But then, the operating system and RAM also matter. HTC runs on Google’s reliable Android platform with 1.5 GHz RAM, with Quadcore. Simply put, you can simultaneously run multiple apps at the same time and easily multitask.

Google maps are much more reliable with features such as transport facility shown, while Apple maps lack this feature. Moreover, accuracy is much higher in Google maps.

The Butterfly can flutter even in rain, shine or sand. The makers claim that the phone is waterproof, which is definitely a welcome feature. Cameras are provided both in front and back, including the 88 degree ultra wide angle lens. Let us not forget that Apple’s scan and click feature, as shown in the ad with cutely dressed children, doesn’t work horizontally. This gives HTC an edge.

HTC also has included a built-in amplifier with BeatsAudio. This essentially means you’ll be blown away by the audio quality. But the real icing on this cake is the way it is built on the inside. The makers of the Smartphone have placed the battery first and the components on top on it, making it unique and compact in design.
