HTC Deluxe Gives Europe A Miss?

Posted in: Today's Chili

The HTC Deluxe can be said to be one of the worst kept secrets from the folks over at HTC, as we have seen numerous leaks of this device before it is released on an official basis. Just in case you were wondering how come the HTC Deluxe looks so familiar, that is because this smartphones shares the DNA of the HTC J Butterfly which is a Japan exclusive, as well as the Verizon only HTC Droid DNA. This 5” smartphone might not be making an appearance in Europe, according to the message that was posted by HTC Germany’s official Facebook account as you can see above.

It would be a rather strange move for this to happen, really, as we do not see, and neither can we think of any reason to deprive our friends living across the pond of one of the better HTC smartphones out there – after all, how many smartphones are there that come with a Full HD (we’re talking 1080p here) resolution display?

HTC Deluxe Gets Pictured Again

Posted in: Today's Chili

We have seen our fair share of the HTC Deluxe in recent times, and it seems that just like Gangnam Style, there is no stopping the HTC Deluxe from making even more appearances on the Internet. This is HTC’s attempt to carve a name for itself in the phablet market, and it has been codenamed Deluxe or DLX, being an international version of the HTC Droid DNA that has recently made its way to Verizon Wireless, where it is also known as the HTC J Butterfly over in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Here are more images of the HTC Deluxe for you to go through, and chances are what you see above could very well be an official image, although the resolution is not as high as we hoped for. Apparently, the HTC Deluxe will come in white, brown, and black shades with red accents. What do you think of the HTC Deluxe in all of its glory – are you keen on getting your fingers wrapped around these?

HTC Deluxe leaks, could be the global version of the HTC Droid DNA

Posted in: Today's Chili

The mystery behind HTC’s Droid DNA ended early this week when Verizon finally announced it. We even did a hands-on of the device in case you missed it. But one question remains – will HTC introduce the Droid DNA outside the U.S. anytime soon? Well, apparently EvLeaks holds the answer. The surreptitious informant has just posted an image of a familiar HTC smartphone on Twitter, along with the caption “HTC Deluxe, global edition.”

Now that’s a head turner because if you can still recall, we’ve been hearing about an HTC device with the codename DLX in the past. The leaked image could be it. We could be looking at the international version of the Droid DNA here. Unfortunately, as with other previous leaks, the details are very scarce. We can only bet on the “HTC Deluxe, global edition” caption for now. The HTC Droid DNA on Verizon features a 5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, LTE connectivity, an 8-megapixel camera, a 2500mAh battery, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It’s possible that the HTC Deluxe will inherit these features as well.
