HTC One Release Date Confirmed For 32GB Version On April 19 On AT&T, Sprint At $199.99
Wireless providers AT&T and Sprint confirmed on Tuesday that the 32GB HTC One, the manufacturer's newest flagship phone, will land in stores on April 19, according to WebProNews.
Both carriers will offer the 32GB version of the HTC One for $199.99 with a new two-year contract.
In addition, AT&T will make available to its customers an exclusive 64GB version for $299.99, also with a two-year agreement.
Customers who can't wait for the April 19 release date will be able to pre-order the HTC One by April 4 for AT&T customers and on April 5 for Sprint users.
According to the WebProNews, the HTC One will be available in black or silver and the AT&T version comes equipped with a free HTC Media Link HD wireless HDMI adapter valued at about $90. The adapter allows AT&T users to send videos, photos and music files wirelessly from the phone to compatible TVs.
As part of HTC's objective to broaden its distribution of its flagship device, the phone is also ultimately expected to join T-Mobile's smartphone offerings.
Yesterday, training information was leaked online which revealed that the phone would be available for pre-sale by the end of the week.
HTC's latest flagship device began arriving in the United Kingdom last week.
Initially, HTC informed retailers and wireless providers that due to component shortages the new Android smartphone would experience delays that would push back the launch date.
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 T-Mobile and Verizon.
