The HTC Droid DNA price has been officially announced by Verizon, introducing the first smartphone to flaunt a 1080p HD resolution. Japan had witnessed the device’s launch under the name of J Butterfly earlier in October of this year.
Running on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform, the handset comes with a host of built-in features such as TalkBack, a screen reader, Face Unlock, which might necessitate a blink to ensure that phone is being unlocked by a person instead of a picture, and much more. A 1.5GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor facilitates faster downloading, multitasking and browsing.
Users can employ the 8MP main shutter which features auto focus, 5-level automatic flash and a BSI sensor, to steal pleasant moments of life and relive them all over again through a 5-inch super LCD 3 display that’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2. When voice is just not enough for communicating, a 2.1 front-facing camera offers scope for live video chatting.
The Droid DNA comes with Beats Audio that aims to further enhance the gaming and movie-watching experience through studio quality sound. Sharing of media content is made possible in more ways than one by using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 or NFC.
Where memory is concerned, the gadget offers 2GB of RAM in addition to 16GB of internal storage. The company states that the 2,020mAh Li-ion battery combined with a power saving software are jointly capable of delivering a talk time of more or less 13 hours and standby time of up to 15 days.
The HTC Droid DNA has made its way into Verizon-owned retail stores as well as online and it can be purchased at a price of $199.99 with a two-year agreement. However, those who wish to take it home without a contract can do so by paying $599.99 with a monthly subscription instead.
