Design

Pros

With its quad core Krait processor, you are assured of a great performance with 2GB RAM. Although it might appear thicker and heavier, it is sturdy and strongly built to have more battery capacity. HTC Butterfly S offers bigger screen to those big screen lovers. It sports a 5” Full HD resolution making the images and text more vivid. The 8MP focus camera with flash plus the 2.1MP camera at the front makes your pictures more amazing and clear.

 

Cons

One of the downside when buying HTC Butterfly S, it does not have 4G. With the current retail price in the market, it would be better if it has 4G connectivity to it as it is one of the luxurious phones in the market today. The phone prides itself of more capacity on its battery but it can’t be replaced. You need to charge it every time once battery life is at its lowest. A back up battery is useless as it won’t work. It also does not have the most recent Android 4.2 Jelly Bean version. With all these disadvantages, the company should reconsider the cost of the phone as it is a little pricey.

 

Warranty

The limited warranty of the phone would include 1 year starting from the date it was purchased and 1 year for its accessories. A proof of purchase should be presented to claim the warranty and should only apply to where the phone was purchased. However, warranty will be voided if the serial number, the IMEI, water indicator or warranty sticker has been removed. Physical damage due to the user’s mishandling or the product’s wear and tear is also not under the limited warranty coverage.

 

Conclusion

If you are for the larger screen with fast processor this should be the phone for you. Although it has its own shortcomings, this phone as the newest flagship is a good value for your money.
