HTC unveiled earlier this month at IFA 2013 trade fair in Berlin, Germany, the Blue version of HTC One smartphone and confirmed it would be exclusively available in the US via Best Buy.

Customers in the United States who do not mind signing up for a long term contract can now purchase the Blue HTC One at Best Buy.

The smartphone is available from three major US-based carriers, namely AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint, for different prices.

Verizon Wireless customers can grab the Blue version of HTC One for only $50 (€37) with a new two-year agreement, while Sprint offers the Android phone for $100 (€75) on a 2-year contract.

Last but not least, AT&T is selling the Blue HTC One for no less than $150 (€113), but customers must agree to a new 2-year contract.

Blue HTC One ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, though Best Buy mentions Verizon's variant is powered by Android 4.3.

Not sure whether or not this is a mistake, but those who wish to purchase Verizon's Blue HTC One can clarify with Best Buy before getting it.

Other than that, there are no differences between the Blue HTC One and the other color versions already available on the market.

The smartphone packs a hyper-vibrant 4.7-inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and 469 ppi (pixel density). In addition, the HTC One's screen features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating.

On the inside, it comes equipped with a powerful quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz, an Adreno 320 graphics processing unit, and 2 GB of RAM.

There's also a 4-UltraPixel photo snapper on the back that features autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. A 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera is included as well.
