HTC J Butterfly aka DROID DNA may (not) launch internationally as Deluxe DLX

Will it or won't it, that's the question.

However, HTC Germany took to Facebook to deny these reports saying "The Deluxe will unfortunately not come to Europe." Now before you get disappointed, that doesn't necessarily mean that HTC will not release Samsung Housing the phone in Europe.
