Although, unfortunately, no news has yet come out of a global launch of the HTC One E8, the plastic version of the HTC One M8, it seems that there could be for the second generation of the HTC Butterfly, which would arrive with some characteristics very similar (in others, the plastic casing) and some other interesting extra, such as the water resistance.
Perhaps some of you still remember the expectation that the HTC Butterfly, although it received different names in the different regions in which it was marketed, such as HTC Droid DNA o HTC Deluxe, and perhaps some of them are more familiar to you. It was, in any case, a smartphone that marked a milestone, the first with a Full HD screenbut, sadly, it never made it to Europe. It seems that with the second generation, however, we could have more luck.
A press image of the HTC Butterfly 2 leaks
The news about its possible international launch, has come along with the leak of a press image of the supposed smartphone and with some interesting details about its Technical specifications, which include a 5-inch Full HD display, a processor Snapdragon 801 and a camera 13 MP. As you can see, it is quite similar, as a whole, to HTC One E8, especially if we take into account that he also rides a plastic shell.
It will also be waterproof
This HTC Butterfly 2However, it has a rather special feature that until now we had not seen in the high-end smartphones of HTC although it has been an upward trend in the sector in recent months: the water resistance. It is also something with what has already been speculated for quite some time, although then the device seemed to fall into oblivion. We will have to wait to see if this time the same thing happens again, although it seems that it will not be the case, since a first version would have already been announced in Japan (the one you see below).
It must be said in favor of HTC One M8, in any case, that It came out very well from some tests in this direction that we witnessed shortly after its launch.
