HTC Butterfly vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The HTC Butterfly is one of the recent 1080p devices that have gone and touched the 5 inch form factor in size, and hence it raises a new question. Is it too big for a smartphone? or is it too small for a tablet? I can already sense a lot of gasps after that question, but truth be told, that category has been invented by none other than Samsung, with its original Galaxy Note, with a 5.3 inch screen. Samsung upped its “phablet” game with the Galaxy Note 2, with the 5.5 inch screen, making it the only device that kinda bridges the gap between a phone and a tablet. Some manufacturers have followed suit, like Huawei, with its Ascend Mate, but with HTC releasing the Butterfly with a 5 inch screen, does it enter the phablet game? And what other differences arise between the Galaxy Note 2 and the Butterfly considering that they are the two of the three costliest devices in the market? Watch our in-depth video comparison to find out –

HTC Butterfly vs Samsung Galaxy S3

The HTC Butterfly is one of the first phones to sport a 1080p screen that is already available in the global market. It launched as the HTC Butterfly J in Japan, Droid DNA with Verizon in the US, but it’s essentially the same with minor differences, with one advantage of the global version being the inclusion of the micro SD expansion slot. So, we have been comparing the HTC Butterfly to other flagship devices like the Nokia Lumia 920, and it’s the turn of the Samsung flagship to be compared now, the Samsung Galaxy S3. The Galaxy S3 has been the long standing flagship of Samsung since it was introduced at an event in May 2012. The next iteration of the Samsung Galaxy S is set to be unveiled soon, which might make things more interesting between HTC and Samsung but as of now, we have one flagship to compare it to, and that is the Samsung Galaxy S3. In case you can’t wait, here is a in-depth video comparison between the two –
