Verizon slashes price point of HTC Droid DNA 4G at online retailers

If you are interested in getting your hands in phablet to make it your next mobile weapon of choice, chances are the first thing that will come to your mind is the Samsung Galaxy Note II. After all, the second generation Samsung phablet is the epitome of the word phablet – an amalgamation of phone and tablet – which is what the Galaxy Note II really is. However, there are those people who are turned off by the bulk and heft of the handset and would rather have a smaller device in their palms of their hands.

If you think that way and feel that the Samsung phablet is too big for you, then you might want to consider the HTC Droid DNA 4G, HTC’s entry to the phablet category of the smartphone competition. Because it has a slightly smaller 5.0-inch display compared to the massive 5.5-inch display of its Samsung counterpart, the HTC Droid DNA 4G is able to offer a much smaller chassis and form factor. The HTC Droid DNA 4G however makes up for the decrease in screen size by coming with a display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels for that matter.

Of course, to be able to take the Samsung Galaxy Note II in the phablet category, the HTC Droid DNA 4G was given an impressive set of components under the hood which make it a very capable device. And if the attributes of the HTC Droid DNA 4G are not enough to convince you in taking the plunge, the recent price drop that Verizon gave the handset definitely will.

As it stands, Big Red currently has an offer that will let you get your hands on the HTC Droid DNA 4G at a very affordable sub-$50 price point at select online retailers. The HTC Droid DNA 4G is a premium smartphone and came with a very hefty price tag in the past so this recent price drop makes the HTC phablet the steal of the century. You will be required to sign a new two-year contract with Verizon should you take advantage of this offer and get the HTC Droid DNA 4G at its bargain price point.

As for the HTC Droid DNA 4G, the handset relies on a QualComm APQ8064 SnapDragon S4 chipset to power its operations while a quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor works in conjunction with 2GB of RAM in generating the computing power needed by the handset for a flawless performance. The storage space onboard the HTC Droid DNA 4G is a bit meager though at just 16GB but there is no way you can have this expanded as the handset doesn’t support memory expansions. Display-wise, the HTC Droid DNA 4G sports a 5.0-inch Super LCD 3 panel with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels while its camera department boasts of a rear 8MP shooter and a front 2.1MP video call and self-portrait snapper.
