HTC One was officially introduced in India a few weeks ago, but the smartphone has yet to go on sale. However, Android fans will now be able to pre-order their favorite devices beginning this week.

Saholic is one of the few Indian retailers that accept HTC One pre-orders. Those who wish to be among the first to own the handset will be able to reserve the phone for no less than Rs 42,900 ($785/€610) outright. Check it out here.

Unfortunately, HTC One will not be available for purchase until late May. According to Saholic, all pre-orders will ship in about 9 business days, which means that HTC One won't hit shelves until the fourth week of May.

HTC One has been hit by supply issues due to the Taiwanese company not being able to secure enough components for the 4-Ultrapixel camera included onto the phone. Fortunately, the handset maker has confirmed that things will improve in the second part of May.
