Malaysia, September 19, 2014 – HTC, a global
leader in innovation and design, today announced the all new “HTC Butterfly 2”.
Packed with the latest HTC Sense 6 experience, HTC Duo Camera for advanced
imaging, and an intuitive Motion Launch advanced sensor, the new HTC Butterfly
2 delivers an unparalleled smartphone experience.
With a Smart Sensor Hub that
anticipates your needs and uses Motion Launch controls to make everyday tasks
easier, HTC Butterfly 2 boasts Duo Camera technology, delivering creative,
professional-looking photos with amazing effects in addition to new standards
for audio quality on a smartphone with JBL, enhancing HTC’s innovative HTC
BoomSound dual speaker sets.  
“HTC is dedicated to combining innovative technologies and premium
techniques to create the best smartphone which meets our consumers’
expectation. HTC Butterfly 2 follows HTC’s iconic design and globally acclaimed
user experience. Its elegant appearance and fantastic performance will
certainly provide consumers with the best experience ever,” said Jack Yang,
President of HTC South Asia.
A leap forward in smartphone imaging
HTC Butterfly 2 brings a totally different dimension to mobile imaging
by combining Japan’s first smartphone with a Duo Camera that features a 13MP
camera, a dual flash and Full 1080p HD Video Recording, producing incredible
images and rich, high-quality video. A 5MP front-facing camera also captures
superior quality photos, taking beautiful selfies with ease.
The Duo Camera boasts a depth sensor in addition to the main HTC 13MP
camera, capturing detailed depth information from a scene and enabling a range
of beautiful and creative effects that allow you to do more with your images
than ever before.
Instantly create professional-looking portraits by altering the focus of
your image after the photo has been taken with UFocus or make your subject
stand out in a more surprising way by altering the background with creative
effects using Foregrounder. You can also give your best shots a seasonal flavour
using the Seasons animations. Copy & Paste lets you place your family and
friends in a different photo entirely, while Dimension Plus™ presents a unique
perspective on your photos by letting you view your image from a different
angle by simply tilting the screen.
With much scope to create exciting imagery, Gallery organization has
also been a priority for the designers of HTC Sense, who have introduced Image
match, a visual search tool that intuitively moves all the photos containing a
particular subject into one album.
Zoe makes photo sharing even more interesting
Zoe is now evolving into a brand new social network, based on media
sharing and collaboration. A collaborative video editing tool, it enables
people to create, share and remix beautiful highlight videos with their
friends. Using Zoe’s elegantly simple user interface, people can choose the
photos and videos they’d like to share, add a beautiful theme and the perfect
soundtrack, and then publish their Zoe just moments after the experience.
Even better, friends can bring shared moments to life by inviting others
to remix their videos, and by remixing theirs! Remixing enables people to
choose the best photos and videos from everyone’s perspective to create the ultimate
highlight video.”

HTC Butterfly 2 with Duo Camera, HTC BoomSound and HTC Sense 6 offers a
best-in-class experience, wrapped in an elegant, iconic design
Redefine the sound experience
The latest HTC BoomSound technology creates an immersive, powerful,
crystal-clear sound with rich tones from bass through to treble. Delivering
sound that is 25% louder than the HTC One, without compromising quality, HTC
Butterfly 2 has dual frontal stereo speakers with a new amplifier, redesigned
speaker chambers and a tailored audio profile for a truly high definition
experience.
HTC BlinkFeed – Your news direct to your home screen
HTC BlinkFeed is now more intuitive, with continuous scrolling for a
fluid browsing experience, adaptable tiles and a new layout that presents
articles in a clean, easy-to-read way. With the introduction of a new SDK that
allows partners to integrate their own content, users can more easily find and
subscribe to new media sources, in addition to instantly creating custom feeds
on any topic. So whether you are into sports, movies or shopping, this feature
ensures that you will get the information most relevant to you. With News
Bundles that bring all articles and tweets on the same topic together for easy
reading now clearly categorised on one page, following the most interesting
news couldn’t be simpler.
Motion Launch – Convenient gestures controlled shortcuts
With the introduction of HTC Sense 6, HTC Butterfly 2 boasts
capabilities that give the product a sixth sense. For example, Motion Launch is
immediately able to detect its position and movement, thanks to built-in motion
sensors that allow you to interact with the phone without turning on the
screen. A simple swipe will activate the device, Auto Answer allows you to
answer a call by putting the phone to your ear without touching the screen – a
handy tool if the phone rings when you are digging the garden or washing the
dishes – and a double tap turns the lock screen on and off.
HTC Dot View case – Protect your phone with retro flair
Taking that sixth sense functionality one step further you can extend
Motion Launch by double tapping the dot view case, in addition to checking the
time, weather, new texts, emails and calls – without touching or revealing the
screen. An outstanding phone deserves a case that protects and extends its
innovative design and industry-leading functionality. Optimised by HTC Sense 6,
the new HTC Dot View phone case protects the screen, whilst displaying
notifications and interactions in a retro, dot-matrix style.
Extreme Power Saving Mode – Extra standby time at no extra cost
The innovation doesn’t end there, as we are also changing how people use
their phone battery. HTC optimised power consumption so that you could get the
most out of your phone. Whilst normal power saving mode delivers a great
experience, we have also included an Extreme power saving mode that makes your
battery last even longer.
Availability and Pricing
HTC Butterfly 2 is
available in Canvas White and Rouge Red at a suggested retail price of RM2,299
at HTC authorized retailers.
