The HTC Developer Edition isn’t actually transparent, unfortunately.
HTC has confirmed that the HTC One Developer Edition handset will be available to purchase on April 19 in the United States, priced at $649. Unlike the regular model, this one comes with an unlocked bootloader and SIM, in addition to open APIs. It also offers 64GB of storage as standard.
AT&T is to begin accepting pre-orders for the HTC One this week, according to a leaked company memo. The device will be available in black or white with 32GB of storage, and it will reportedly cost $249.99. There’s no mention of the exclusive 64GB device, however.
If you have an older HTC smartphone, you’ve probably been itching to get your hands on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 since HTC announced the flagship One earlier this year. The Taiwanese company has already confirmed that an update will be made available to a number of existing devices, but it hasn’t yet confirmed when it will arrive.
According to one source, you can expect it to hit the HTC One X around June or July.
The HTC Butterfly — also known as the J Butterfly in Japan and the Droid DNA in the U.S. — was one of the first smartphones to offer a 1080p display, kickstarting a new generation of full high-definition handsets. And according to HTC marketing chief Benjamin Ho, the handset will get a successor “to meet consumer demand.”
HTC has confirmed that its new flagship smartphone, the HTC One, will begin its rollout in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Taiwan next week, before reaching the rest of Europe and the United States by the end of April.
