HTC Droid DNA is currently making quite a fuss in the smartphone market. Will this phablet become a great competitor against Apple's popular iPhone 5?

The Droid DNA is the rumored 5-inch phablet that is not yet official. However, some of its features have leaked out these past few weeks. Many people claimed that the HTC Droid DNA is the international version of the HTC J Butterfly, a smartphone released exclusively in Japan. Verizon hinted that the device will be available in the US via their network.

Apple also released its supreme smartphone last September. The tech giant's iPhone 5 wowed critics at its media launch last September 12.

iPhone 5 features a 4-inch screen, slightly bigger than earlier versions of Apple's device with 1136x640 pixel resolution, 4G/LTE connectivity, and iOS 6 mobile operating system.
