Despite currently offering what is arguably the best Android handset ever produced, things are going from bad to worse for HTC. The Taiwanese company’s profits have been heading the wrong way for a number of years, and in Q3, it expects to see its first operating loss since going public in 2002.

The “glamor red” HTC One is set to debut in the U.K. on August 13, as a Phones4U exclusive. A recent leaked press render suggests that the special edition handset is now also on its way to Sprint in the U.S. for its first showing, too.
