The beautiful HTC Droid DNA was just announced in a joint HTC-Verizon event in New York, and we have to say, we are impressed. As earlier leaks and rumors have suggested, the Droid DNA features a stunning full HD Super LCD 3 display spanning 5 inch across. And while HTC carefully avoided calling it a “phablet”, it's clear that the new DNA (and it's supposed international version, the HTC DLX) will square off against the Galaxy Note 2 and the LG Vu 2. Here’s the full Droid DNA specs rundown. And if you want to buy it, you’ll want to know this.

Check out the official press images of the HTC Droid DNA. We will update this gallery with hands-on images, so make sure to tune in a bit later.

Update: HTC released a promo video for the Droid DNA.
