The long wait for HTC to release the One in India has eventually come to an end, with the manufacturer pulling the wraps off its most recent flagship and the smartphone is now out to be seized at a price of Rs 42,900. It was only last week when the handset had surfaced unofficially through online shopping outlets in the country tagging along a similar MRP.
This year saw the HTC One adopting a 4MP UltraPixel camera, while most gadgets opted for a 13MP snapper. This gave the Taiwanese conglomerate’s crown jewel some leverage, seeing as the phone’s shutter holds the ability to soak in 300 percent extra light as opposed to a regular lens.
Moreover, this UltraPixel camera came in handy for capturing three-second snippets known as ‘Zoes’. The Android Jelly Bean handset also served as a platform to the launch of BlinkFeed which as many would know by now, meticulously arranges updates from various apps of users’ on the home screen itself. Even the latest version of the Sense 5 UI took its first step through the phone and has now been destined for others like the Butterfly, X+ and more.
Sleek as it looks, the One has been crafted to flaunt a zero-gap aluminum unibody and wraps a 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD3 touch display. Resting under the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 2, the screen boasts of spewing visuals at a full HD resolution. The device’s onboard Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, which can be seen in select gadgets, also speaks in its favor.
HTC has partnered with Reliance to proffer the smartphone to the carrier’s users, without demanding a single penny over the above mentioned amount. Perks of this package include 1GB of free 3G data and Bigflix subscription for 3 months, unlimited texting as well as no caps on music, picture and video sharing on WhatsApp as well as Facebook for the same span.
The HTC One can also be purchased through Flipkart, Saholic and Infibeam at the given price. Snapdeal has displayed it with an amount of Rs 40,890, but the e-retailer has run out of stock at present.
