Delivering the highest pixel density of any 4G smartphone, the HTC Droid DNA 4G exploded onto the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network in the US late last November. The handset has been a best seller for Verizon ever since, and currently ranks as the #3 best-selling smartphone in the entire Amazon Wireless online store. The handset delivers a very sleek design, ensconced in a tough but light polycarbonate unibody. The Droid DNA 4G is also built with an ultra-matte finish and distinctive red side grills, with a laminated screen that helps eliminate reflection.
The HTC Droid DNA is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $49.99.
It delivers Android’s 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system with the HTC Sense 4+ UI Android overlay, supporting multitouch, capacitive gestures. A Qualcomm quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of built-in storage are on board. The Droid DNA 4G also delivers built-in wireless charging, but its the incredibly clear and resolute display which is getting all of the attention. HTC knew that if they were going to be viable once again in the smartphone marketplace, where they have lagged the past year, they would need to have a signature phone which could compete against devices like the Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 5.
In what was obviously a direct shot at those 2 best-selling smartphones, HTC designers gave their Droid DNA 4G an industry-leading 441 pixels per inch on the large 5.0 inch 1,080P screen. No one is saying that the 306 ppi on the 4.8 inch Galaxy S III screen of the 326 ppi on the iPhone 5′s 4.0 inch display is not clear and high resolution. But by improving pixel density more than 35% over their top 2 competitors’ best display offerings, HTC has thrown down the display gauntlet.
Any consumer-electronics display which boasts an HD designation means that it delivers high definition, either 720P or 1,080P. The ‘P’ simply stands for the number of pixels, with the higher pixel count providing higher resolution. To show off their 5.0 inch ImageChip ISP S-LCD 3 display, quad core central processor and powerful Adreno 320 GPU on the Droid DNA, HTC and Verizon have included the Reign of Amira HD game, ready for play out-of-the-box.
Overall display resolution on the HTC Droid DNA 4G runs an impressive 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. The exclusive Beats Audio full range sound system is present with dedicated speaker amplifiers, a YouTube video player has been pre-installed, and both front and rear cameras provide wide angle functionality. The 8.0 megapixel camcorder on the back of the handset captures video at 1,080 P HD resolution.
You can purchase the HTC Droid DNA at a discounted price tag now starting at $49.99.
