Sprint and AT&T have already kicked off pre-orders for HTC One, which is expected to hit shelves on April 19.

Both carriers, along with T-Mobile USA are offering the smartphone for $200/€155 with a new two-year agreement and $250/€190, respectively.

Other major retailers across the country have opened up pre-orders for HTC One, including Wirefly and Best Buy.

The former offers the HTC One from Sprint for just $150/€115 on 2-year term, while the latter is now taking pre-orders for AT&T and Sprint models for $200/€155 with a similar 2-year agreement.

Customers who do not wish to commit to a long-term contract can grab the HTC One for no less than $700/€540 upfront. All three carrier-bounded models can be purchased for the same no-term price tag.

HTC’s flagship Android smartphone is already available for purchase in the UK and a few other European countries.

Unfortunately, the Taiwanese handset maker has postponed the launch of the smartphone due to some components issues.

Apparently, this delay results in revenue miss and one of the lowest profits on record. Hopefully, the next quarter will be a lot more successful for HTC, otherwise the company might be in much bigger troubles than it is now.

Those unfamiliar with the HTC One should know that the smartphone comes packed with an innovative 4-Ultrapixel rear-facing camera, which is the main reason for the handset’s display.

Furthermore, the smartphone comes equipped with a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, an Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB of RAM.

HTC One packs 32GB of internal memory, but lacks microSD card slot for memory expansion. However, AT&T customers will be able to grab the 64GB model, which is exclusively available in the US through this carrier.

The phone will ship with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, integrated with the latest HTC Sense 5.0 UI.
