A new HTC device, dubbed Butterfly 3 (J Butterfly HTV31), has been spotted at a recent benchmark test over at CompuBench, revealing some interesting specs featured in the upcoming smartphone. HTC's Butterfly series has been quite popular in the regions where they have been launched and the company has been rumored to launch the Butterfly 3 during the second half of this year. The upcoming smartphone continues to generate great interest among smartphone users, despite the fact that it is likely to be exclusive to certain Asian markets.

Back in February this year, the HTC Butterfly 3's specs had been briefly leaked online and the device was rumored to feature a 5.2-inch QHD display similar to the HTC One M9 . But according to the latest benchmark listing at CompuBench, the HTC Butterfly 3 (J Butterfly HTV31) will sport a smaller 5.1-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and boast of 576 ppi. The benchmark test also reveals that the HTC Butterfly 3 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM, and an Adreno 430 GPU.

The HTC Butterfly 3 will arrive with 32GB of on-board storage, a 20MP rear-facing camera and a high-resolution 13MP front-facing camera capable of shooting 4K UHD video. The HTC Butterfly 3 will have the usual sensors and has been benchmarked running Android 5.0.2. HTC has offered its previous Butterfly devices with waterproof bodies and the feature is also expected in the HTC Butterfly 3.

HTC is expected to unveil the Butterfly 3 in May this year and the smartphone will be first available only in Japan through major carrier KDDI. The device will be available in three color options: white, blue and red. It is not yet clear whether or not the smartphone will be launched in the EMEA and North America regions, but more details will become available as the release date approaches.
