The DNA’s 2.1-megapixel sits in the top left corner, and that’s pretty much the ballgame. There’s really not much to see here - a trio of Android navigation buttons (Back, Home, and Recent Apps) are positioned precariously low on the DNA’s face, while a silver Verizon logo and a long, slim, red speaker grille are centered above the phone’s sizable display.

That’s not to say I haven’t come to appreciate it though - while HTC’s earlier Droids (and some of their other Verizon smartphones as well) sported some truly funky design choices, the company has ceased its shenanigans and put together a much cleaner device. I called the Droid DNA “awfully conservative” during my first go-round with the device, and that impression hasn’t changed much now that I’ve used it as my daily driver for the past week. Available on November 21 from Verizon Wireless ($199 w/ 2 year contract).Only has 16GB of internal storage and lacks microSD card slot.Runs Android 4.1.1 laden with HTC’s Sense 4+ UI.1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, with 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 320 GPU.

HTC has dutifully been churning out smartphones to fly under Verizon’s Droid banner ever since it released the Droid Eris in 2009, but in recent months the company seems to have lost some of its edge.
