Smartphone manufacturer HTC has finally released the highly anticipated Droid DNA 4G Android smartphone that was announced on November 13 of this year. That handset has arrived on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States, and delivers a very fast and powerful quad core processor, double the average RAM system memory for a 4G smartphone, extremely high pixel density and resolution, and one of the largest smartphone displays found on any mobile handset. High resolution video capture is also present, as well as NFC (Near Field Communications) connectivity out-of-the-box, for one of the most highly regarded overall feature sets of any smartphone.
The HTC Droid DNA is on sale now starting at $149.99.
For the amount of hardware and software on board, as well as the oversized battery and mammoth display which is one of the largest in the entire smartphone marketplace, the handset is exceptionally skinny at 0.38 inches (9.73 mm). The 4.1 Jelly Bean Android operating system is present out-of-the-box, and it receives the HTC Sense 4+ UI, accepting multitouch, capacitive gestures for device navigation. That 5.0 inch ImageChip ISP S-LCD 3 display delivers an incredible 441 pixels per inch and 16 million individual colors, creating an overall display resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels.
That display on the Droid DNA is protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass 2, and standard light and proximity sensors help conserve battery life. Those battery conservation efforts team up with the 2,020 mg cell on board the HTC Droid DNA to offer as much is 12.6 hours of talk time and 15 days of standby power from a single battery charge. In the hardware package on board the Droid DNA 4G Android smartphone, a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory is present, as is a quad core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU. Also part of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 is an Adreno 320 GPU, and 16 GB of user accessible data storage are built-in.
A YouTube video player joins a built-in music player, Beats Audio and dedicated speaker amplifiers in the multimedia package on board the HTC Droid DNA, and the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder records video in 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1080p HD resolution). Equipped with a built-in LED flash, f/2.0 lens, autofocus, face detection, digital zoom and Geo tagging features, that rear facing camcorder joins a front mounted 2.1 megapixel chat cam in the camera combo. That front snapper is a wide-angle camera, allowing for extrawide snapshots and video calls.
