The HTC J Butterfly was recently unveiled Japan with KDDI, but it could be landing in other destinations soon. The Butterfly hasn't made it's way out of Japan ever since the first iteration. In fact, it winded up being a Verizon DROID-branded product, the DROID DNA, at that time.

Now, however, a leaked press image of the HTC Butterfly 2 seems to indicate it's destined for Europe and/or the U.S. The HTC Butterfly 2 will be essentially the same phone as the One (M8), but it will be made from plastic. That's not necessarily a bad thing since it will also be waterproof. Another major change is that the main rear camera lens will be 13 MP and not Ultra Pixel. However, there will still be a Duo Camera setup.

This is actually the 3rd Butterfly, but since the second edition didn't make it out of Japan, they are referring to it as a “2” for outside markets.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
