A price for the HTC One has been officially disclosed in Taiwan and is out for all three variants, with the 16GB carrying a label of TWD 19,900. The 32GB phone will be sold for TWD 21,900 and the 64GB version will sell for a towering TWD 24,900 – The latter roughly translates to $840.
Numerous reports of the launch in various countries have been coming to the fore and finally phone’s hometown will be witness to its unveiling. Unwired View, basing its information on an article published on ePrice, conveys that the device should be obtainable by the end of this month. Being talked about for a number of reasons, this smartphone has a 137.4mm x 68.2mm x 9.3mm form factor and weighs just 143 grams.
The handset along with its Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS and formidable Snapdragon 600 SoC has the maker’s hopes pinned on it to help recover lost ground in the smartphone industry. The Sense 5 interface introduces new elements like BlinkFeed, Zoe and BoomSound. The TV and Voice features are two more additions that the manufacturer has brought to the interface. The former allows users to utilize the phone as a remote control and a program guide for most television sets, while the latter attribute increases the volume of a call and makes the speech clearer as well as more audible.
The mobile has been constructed in a way that its sturdiness is veiled by its sleek chassis. Crafted entirely from metal, the device employs the latest Zero Gap technology. And if that doesn’t convince users to make a grab for it, its Infinity Glass display that is shielded from scrapes and scratches should do the trick.
The HTC One will be available to buyers in Taiwan by the end of March for the sum that was earlier cited. While the device can be purchased unlocked for £510 in the UK, US customers should apparently be able to get their hands on it for a starting amount of $199.99 on contract.
