The new HTC J Butterfly launched by KDDI

ButterflyKDDI The all-new HTC J Butterfly — that’s based on the One M8 — is being released in Japan on KDDI and Okinawa Cellular. While it’s based on the 2014 flagship, it comes with a few caveats the all-metal phone doesn’t have. The phone is waterproof so dropping it in the sink or the toilet (if you’re one of those who can’t do their business without phone in hand) won’t cause any issues. However the kicker is, in order for you to have this waterproofing you’re not going to get the BoomSound speakers. However the Taiwanese company is throwing in a JBL in-ear headset.



Also missing is the 4 UP camera and in its place is the 13 MP camera we’ve seen on other HTC phones this year. You still have the secondary depth sense from the M8 but you’ll get a few more megapixels for your buck. All the other specs are the same as the flagship with it having a 5-inch 1080 display, 2GB of RAM with a Snapdragon 801 processor, 32 GB of internal storage expandable with a microSD slot, Android 4.4 and a 5 MP camera on the front.


Also, for those that are wanting one, it does come with support for HTC’s dot case. So if you’re in one of these countries, and are in the market for a new phone, KDDI will have it in late August.

Galaxy Note 4 Will Be Announced On September 3

Galaxy-Note-3-KitKat


I guess I was slightly wrong when it came to properly stating the announcement date of the Galaxy Note 4.


Korean news outlet The Korean Times is reporting Samsung’s plans to unveil its next major flagship phablet not on IFA 2014, but two days earlier on September 3rd. They are also reporting the phone will still come with a 5.7-inch display but will also include a metal frame, similar to the Galaxy Alpha.


As for the curved screen we’ve been reporting, it will indeed be present but only on a different model not intended for the mass market. The UV sensor was also mentioned and it will indeed be a part of the S-Health app on the phone. It was unfortunate nothing was said on battery optimizations/capacity but it should be at least as big as the Note 3 which had a 3200mAH battery.


Specs for the phone include a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QHD display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (North America variant at least), 3GB of RAM, 32/64GB of internal storage with SD card expansion, a UV sensor and a 16MP rear camera with full OIS.
