After an undesired delay, HTC has eventually gone forth to release the One for UK buyers and pegged the unlocked variant of its most recent flagship at a price of £510. The smartphone has not just arrived at various e-retailers’ doorsteps, but it has also struck a bunch of carrier-owned stores.
Those on the look-out for network-bound units should note that it can be found on Three’s website. If the device is purchased through the carrier’s Pay As You Go plan, customers will have to part with £494.99. In the event that people find themselves hunting for other options, they can select the Ultimate Internet scheme or the One Plan, offering it with monthly payments of £34 or £36, respectively.
While the network provider currently has the silver-hued handset in stock, the variant splashed with black has been put up for pre-order as of now. The device will also be made available through Vodafone, although customers will have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks before that happens.
Coming to the online shopping outlets stashing the handset, Carphone Warehouse has proffered it clubbed with a wide range of service providers’ contracts. Some of these include Orange, Vodafone, Three, T-Mobile and EE amongst a couple of others. With no upfront payments, the plans start at £33 per month and run up to £47 monthly.
Similarly, buyers can also visit the websites of Dial-a-Phone and Phones4u in order to find the device tagging along service agreements. Contracts with the former begin at monthly installments of £28, whereas those through the latter will amount to £41 per month. Meanwhile, Clove plans to stock the silver model starting from April 3, while the black-colored variant will arrive on April 10.
GSMArena is reporting that Amazon will get the HTC One on April 12, and the e-store will only be putting the unlocked variant on sale at varying rates beginning at approximately £526.
