The HTC 5-inch full HD ‘Deluxe’ in Europe?

HTC has already launched its 5-inch full HD smartphone in two markets, but Europe is still waiting for it, as are some other markets, too.

The HTC Deluxe is a variant of Japan’s J Butterfly and Verizon’s (VZ) DROID DNA smartphone, and together with its beautiful 1920 x 1080-pixel HD display, it was expected to also feature a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel rear camera.

Currently however, according to a spokesperson for HTC Germany, the smartphone will not launch in Europe. No specific reason was given, although there is a possibility that the device will be released under a different name.
