HTC One Release for AT&T Pre-Sales Set for April 5; 32GB Version Starting At $250
The HTC One will be released for pre-sale as early as April 5, according to training information leaked to multiple sites on Monday.
According to Engadget.com, the 32GB version of the HTC One, the company's new flagship phone, is reported to cost potential users $249.99 as part of a new two year agreement.
The 64GB version of the phone, which AT&T owns exclusive rights to, will reportedly run customers $299 with a new contract. The 64GB version does not yet have a release date, however.
Although the AT&T pre-sale date was leaked on Monday, the date with which the HTC Ones will actually reach customers is still up in the air. Last week, HTC announced delays regarding its US arrival and that users will not actually receive the device until some time prior to the end of April.
HTC's latest flagship device began arriving in the United Kingdom last week.
The Android smartphone will serve as HTC's successor to the HTC One X and, according to the company, the newest offering will focus on the phone's distinct camera implementation as well as its hardware and software design.
The "UltraPixel" image sensor which the phone's camera utilizes means larger pixels and an improved overall image quality. The phone is said to perform particularly well when compared to other smartphones under low-light conditions.
Externally, the phone boasts an aluminum frame as opposed to the common plastic shell. On the inside, however, the HTC One is powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and 2GB of RAM.
Users receive a 5.7 inch 1080p Super LCD 3 display with 468 ppi and will receive LTE support where available.
During the company's launch of the phone, HTC reps said the device will ultimately be available from 185 carriers in 80 nations around the world.
According to multiple reports, there are still no release dates for the HTC One regarding other wireless carriers such as Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
