We are only a day away from HTC and Verizon’s joint press event in New York City and anticipation around their latest Android offering is building. The two companies are expected to announce the DROID DNA smartphone, a device BGR exclusively reported details on this past April. The handset is believed to be based off HTC’s J Butterfly smartphone and is expected to feature a 5-inch display with a full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution with a staggering 440 pixels-per-inch. The DROID DNA may also be equipped with a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and include a micro SD slot, 4G LTE connectivity and NFC.

While we have seen the soon-to-be-announced phone on display in a variety of leaked images, over the weekend Evleaks posted what it says are the official press renders of the DROID DNA. Verizon (VZ) also revealed on its DROID DOES website that it will be conducting a live unboxing of its “newest DROID smartphone” on November 19th, a day before the device is rumored to go on sale.
