14 DAY TRIAL // One of the most anticipated Android smartphones, the HTC One is likely to make its debut in the United States later this month.
Several carriers have already confirmed that they will offer HTC’s flagship smartphone, except Verizon, which has yet to reveal whether or not it will sell the device as well.
There will be two HTC One models available in the select markets and customers in the US will have access to both 32GB and 64GB variants.
The bad news is that HTC One 64GB will be exclusive to AT&T, so customers who prefer other US-based carriers will only be able to grab the 32GB model.
As Droid-Life points out, the information has been recently confirmed by AT&T, as the carrier has published a new video on its YouTube channel, which directly refers to the fact that HTC One 64GB is an AT&T exclusive.
For the time being, Sprint and T-Mobile USA are the only mobile operators that have confirmed that they will carry the HTC One, aside from AT&T.
The phone is expected to arrive in the United States later this month, but it is already available for purchase in the UK from all major carriers in the country.
The smartphone ships with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, integrated with HTC Sense 5.0 UI.
However, the Taiwanese company has stated that an Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean upgrade will be available for download at some point this year.
Hardware-wise, HTC One is among the most powerful Android smartphones available on the market. It comes equipped with a 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, an Adreno 320 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.
HTC One does not come with microSD card slot, which is why it’s important to embed enough storage by default. As we have mentioned earlier, it comes in two versions, 32GB and 64GB. More details on the phone’s specs sheet are available here.
The other carriers will only offer the 32GB version
