HTC has been using its “One” branding for its flagship phones in most of the world for a while now, but things are different in Japan, where HTC’s high-end hardware are part of the “Butterfly” family.

The HTC J Butterfly is launching on KDDI in Japan. There’s no word yet on whether or not this new J Butterfly will ever venture outside of Japan, which is kind of a bummer since it appears to combine some of the best characteristics of the One (M8) with a polycarbonate and waterproof frame.
Would you rather have the HTC One (M8) or this new J Butterfly as your daily driver?
