HTC Joins the 'Phablet' Fray with the HTC J Butterfly; 5-Inch, Quad-Core S4, 2GB Ram

bigger battery and it would be perfect

the name is crap but that is a sexy phone. I even like the red and I am not a fan of red

2Ah battery??

Apparently, everyone in HTCland uses battery packs for belts because they insist on putting undercapacity batteries in their devices.

Based solely on your battery capacities and my Thunderdolt experience, HTC,

nice specs outside of battery of course.. in the phablet world the note 2 is king and this is just a bigger screen phone

This looks like it could be a good phone but I dont want it to die 2 hours after i take it off the charger. Id get the Note 2 but I dont want it to look like Im holding a cookie sheet up to the side of my head.

If only we could merge all those positive traits together and create a phone called Unity.

ive never had an HTC phone. Sammy was always my next choice but I like the look of this one. Is the beat audio as good as Ive read about?

B

This. +1

it will be for me then, i sit in an office all day. I cant see the the battery being that small though unless JB comes with some major power tweaks and the S4 isnt very power hungry. a top tier phone without at least a battery capable of making it 12hours on 1 charge is kinda like wiping before you poop....just dont make sense

Might as well remove the battery and require it to be plugged in to work.

Motorola is also known for pentile displays, waiting too long to innovate, and flooding the market with phones.

How long did we wait for a Droid with a slide out keyboard and a 4"+ screen?

On another note (pun intended), I think the battery specs are not correct.

edit: Nevermind, it is correct per the HTC website. That's crazy for such a large display.

HTC needs to go back to user replaceable batteries, if they did this to this phone, with that gorgeous 1080p screen, with the rest of those specs it will sell like HOT CAKES:icon_ devil:, and why only Japan, this device should launch on every carrier WORLDWIDE, with a BIG promotional push, only way HTC can get back in the game, their marketing again makes you scratch your head.

HTC never learns do they... 2000mAh for that massive screen ?.. and they wonder why there phones won't sell... Cause potential repeat customers all know you need to either carry another spare battery or buy a extended one...

An extended battery on such a large device would be even more awkward than it already is. That's a deal breaker for me. Samsung got it right with the note 2, as I've seen a couple reviews saying its battery last pretty much all day. 2000mAh isn't even enough for a 4in phone.

I'm not saying it was aliens...bit it was aliens.

This is the best summary of the android market I have ever heard. Now where does apple come in at?

From what I have heard Beat's Audio is just marketing ploy. I tried some Beat's Audio headphones in store recently. The headphones were $200 and sounded GREAT....the $50 Sony's right next to them sounded every bit as good. Both sounded alot more richer then the Bose headphones I tried. All of them were either over the ear or on the ear style.

Waiting to innovate can be a good things at times. It ensures quality devices. Also, Moto stop flooding the market awhile ago, and I bet all the device makers are baout to flood the market given this is coming up on the holiday season.
