hey everybody this is Christopher walk from android authority while it is technically the morning while I'm recording this it still feels like night to me and earlier today I was in New York City for the verizon HTC droid DNA event if you've been following us for a while you've probably heard a thing or two about this phone before even if you didn't know it see before it was known as the droid DNA in the u.s. this phone was known as the HTC j butterfly in japan according to a Qualcomm representative I spoke to today the version we're getting here is basically exactly the same only it's on the verizon network and has a different name to take a quick look at the specs the HTC droid DNA has a 5-inch IPS LCD display with 1080p resolution and a pixel density of 440 pixels per inch it's powered by the latest and greatest Qualcomm s4 Snapdragon s4 pro chipset with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 gigahertz the droid DNA features two gigs of ram 16 gigs of internal storage and one thing that has quite a few people worried a 2020 milliamp hour battery with all those pixels to power were curious to see what the battery life on this will be like during real-world use name another feature you'd like to see and chances are pretty good that the droid DNA has it NFC 4G LTE wireless charging Beats Audio Gorilla Glass too jellybean there's an awful lot packed into this little guy now I'll be honest before I saw the HTC droid dna's 1080p display with my very own eyes I really doubted that I'd even be able to see the difference between 720p and 1080p on such a small screen and a lot of the times this can be true with the HTC droid DNA with certain sources however the screen is incredibly crisp and detailed and just like that I've really become a 1080p believer especially moving into the future when we start to see more true 1080p sources become available the HTC droid DNA will be released on November 21st for 199 dollars 99 cents with a two-year contract from Verizon the device is exclusive to verizon so don't hold your breath to wait to see it on another carrier now we'd like to know what do you think of the HTC droid DNA are you drooling over that 1080p display or cringing at the possibility of low battery life let us know in the comments this has been Christopher walk for android authority and as usual we would absolutely love to hear your comments on this video as well as your comments on the other videos on our channel thanks
