14 DAY TRIAL // HTC already confirmed plans to launch the One S in Canada through multiple carriers. Bell Canada, TELUS, Virgin Mobile and Koodo Mobile reportedly picked the HTC One S and are about to make it available on the market.
Some of the carriers mentioned earlier plan to launch the smartphone today, while others may introduce it within the next few days.
Although we already have the full pricing options available for TELUS customers who wish to purchase the HTC One S, we didn’t have any info regarding Bell Canada and Virgin Mobile offering until today.
The folks over at MobileSyrup have stumbled upon the HTC One S at a Source brick-and-mortar store and had a glimpse at the pricing options offered by the two carriers.
Apparently, Bell Canada will have the One S on sale for as low as $99.95 CAD with a new three-year agreement, or for $599.95 CAD off-contract.
On the other hand, Virgin Mobile is likely to offer the HTC One S for $99.99 CAD on contract, while customers who are not willing to commit to a long-term agreement will be able to purchase it for $599.99 CAD upfront.
It will be interesting if Bell Canada will offer any promotional deals on the HTC One S, especially that TELUS will have it available for only $569.99 CAD, which is $30 CAD cheaper than Bell’s no-term price tag.
All in all, the smartphone will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform integrated with HTC Sense 4.0 UI. It will be powered by Qualcomm’s MSM8260A Snapdragon dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz.
HTC One S also boasts a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, as well as dual cameras, 8-megapixel rear photo snapper and VGA front-facing camera for video calls. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
