Main camera and selfie camera

A few words about the cameras that have HTC Butterfly S. The main camera, located on the back, received 4 MP. The main camera we would rate her 3 out of 5, because at the moment there are cameraphones with much better cameras.

The frontcamera is also in HTC Butterfly S. It is located in front of the screen and has its own 2.1 MP, which for qualitative selfies it will be not enough, therefore we advise to look others selfie smartphones in our catalog.

Processor and Internal Memory

The speed of the smartphone affects not only the optimized software (the newer Android, the better), but also the characteristics of the hardware: the processor and the amount of RAM. HTC Butterfly S has 4-core Snapdragon 600. RAM here with size 2 GB.

Evaluation of the characteristics, probably, you have already folded, and if not, here is our result. HTC Butterfly S is a fast smartphone with a large screen and a conventional main camera, and the front camera did not turn out super cool. And to all this we add that the battery here is absolutely normal.

Of course, at the beginning of sales, almost every smartphone becomes a Droid, and we advise buying such models. But over time, the situation is changing, no one updates the Android version in the smartphone, and in six months or a year this smartphone can already become a Junk. In this case, we advise you to go to the DROID smartphones page in our catalog, where we always show the most current models on sale for today. There are variants from different price segments, so you will have plenty to choose from.
