DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid, and it is defined as “the fundamental and distinctive characteristics of someone or something.” That being the case, the DNA of the new HTC Droid DNA could best be described as extreme power, high performance and visual excellence. The HTC Droid DNA delivers the highest pixel density and resolution we have found for a smartphone to date, a quad core processor, and double the usual amount of RAM memory. And considering the amount of hardware on board, as well as the large 5 inch display, the handset is as small and light as possible.
Arriving November 21 on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system, the HTC Droid DNA display spans from edge to edge, putting all the focus on the large 5.0 inch ImageChip ISP S-LCD 3 screen. Pixel density runs extremely high at 441 pixels per inch, for a high-end display resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. Standard light and proximity sensors are built into the display, and offer auto brightness adjustment and battery conservation features. More than 16 million separate colors are present, and a scratch resistant layer of Gorilla Glass protects against everyday wear and tear.
On the multimedia entertainment side, the Droid DNA offers the full range Beats Audio sound system with dedicated speaker amplifiers, a YouTube video player pre-installed and a built-in music player. The handset measures 5.55 x 2.78 x 0.38 inches (141 x 70.5 x 9.73 mm) in size, weighing 4.87 ounces (138 g). Talk time runs an above average 12.6 hours after a single charge of the 2,200 mA battery on board the handset, with standby battery power lasting 14.6 days.
The hardware package on board the HTC Droid DNA 4G Android smartphone is centered around a powerful quad core CPU that has been clocked at 1.5 GHz. That speedy quad core chip allows you to surf the web while you are watching a movie or video, or edit video while simultaneously downloading an application or listening to music. An Adreno 320 GPU is also present in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 chip set, and a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory is built-in. The handset also delivers 16 GB of built-in data storage.
Android’s 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system is delivered out-of-the-box, and the rear facing camcorder ensures that you capture every shot with nearly instant image capture. One press continuous shooting catches for shots per second, and that 8.0 megapixel camcorder records video in 1,080P HD resolution. The HTC Droid DNA for Verizon also offers a front facing VGA quality chat cam in the camera combo.
You can purchase the HTC Droid DNA for a reduced price now starting at $99.99.
