We had only recently covered the high profile launch of Verizon’s super premium Android phone, the HTC Droid DNA and already we have news of it breaking shores. Rechristened, the HTC Deluxe or HTC Deluxe DLX, the phone provides pretty much the exact same features and specifications albeit for a broader international audience. HTC Deluxe price in India might lie upwards of Rs 35000 at launch and would easily be the most expensive Android phone for some time. The phone has the largest screen among all HTC phones so far at 5.0″. The Super LCD 3 screen provides for up to 441 ppi pixel density. The phone runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box with a quick upgrade to 4.2 on the cards. The phone also houses a 1.5 GHz quad core processor. Check out the rest of the Specs below.

HTC Deluxe Verdict
HTC Deluxe is all in all a grand smartphone to own, save for a slightly weaker battery compared to competition. While the phone is in no way perfect or matches to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it does come close. HTC Deluxe will be the shiny new flagship for HTC when it finally comes out by December in international markets, just ahead of the shopping season. For those who need the biggest screen, the best battery or expandable memory, skip the HTC and buy the Note 2. For those who need flawless Camera and beautiful Design, this should feature high in their list.
