hey guys this is Brian Bennett for cnet.com and right now we are at the HTC and Verizon launch event we're taking a first look at the HTC droid DNA so here it is it has a 5 inch LCD super lcd3 screen has a resolution of basically 1080p and it can see it's very large has a edge to edge design here it actually extends across over the bezel it's extremely thin they say it is actually thinner than the galaxy s3 from Samsung which is a very bold claim but you can tell it has the red accents that our signature of the droid franchise also supposed to be reminiscent of a Lamborghini design a fast sports car it looks pretty cool it's very thin it feels very light on the top you can tell it's got the power button thats metallic has a nice little texture headphone jack up there the agency droid DNA is very powerful it is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 pro that's a quad-core chip should be 1.5 gigahertz also it has 16 gigabytes of internal storage and seismic amount of RAM the software it's running is Android for dot one jellybean so it's pretty up-to-date it's not the most recent 4.2 it seems like a trend in smartphones these days is wireless charging and the HTC droid DNA is no exception the back support a built-in wireless charging solution by a chi it's a standard that many companies are jumping on board these days so if you have an accessory that's compatible you can drop it on the charger and charged up without any wires it's pretty useful it has a 8 megapixel camera LED flash has a nice soft touch finish hair kind of similar to the HTC One x+ the battery is embedded but it's a 20 100 mil amp I believe battery so should have enough power to get you through the day all in all it's a very nice package now the droid HTC droid DNA is going to go on sale november 21st for 1 99 99 but you can pre-order it right now I'm Brian Bennett this has been a first look at the HTC droid DNA
