Well, it is finally official. The Verizon HTC One is actually going to exist, and Big Red made an official announcement to that effect recently. A Verizon-tagged HTC One was recently spotted over at the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) branch of the United States government, the arm which must approve or disapprove of each new smartphone that enters the US. The phone will most probably appear with the same hardware as the currently available versions, so approval is surely to arrive swiftly.
The HTC One 4G is available for a reduced sale price now starting at .
Verizon has only announced a date of “later this summer” for the HTC One 4G Android smartphone, but that announcement was enough to drastically drive down the on contract price tag of the handset running on both Sprint and AT&T. Customers ready to upgrade their current phone to the HTC One on both of those networks will now only have to part with a bargain-bin $49 and agree to the standard two-year contract. This is the lowest price tag the HTC One has posted by far since its release, and it recently reached the 5 million global sales unit level.
With Android’s 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system upgrade on the way for the powerful HTC One, the new entry-level price tag is sure to drive sales growth. The new version of Jelly Bean will deliver new additions to the notification quick control, improved Zoe image management and six new Highlight Video themes. Instagram will be added to the list of social networking applications supported in HTC BlinkFeed, there is support for new lock screen widgets, and multiple camera utility additions are present as well.
Carrying green machine platinum certification by the independent UL Environment as an environmentally favorable device, the HTC One 4G can also control your television or home stereo. A slim handset measuring just 0.37 inches (1.3 mm) in thickness, the phone nonetheless delivers a large 4.70 inch Super LCD3 display. Pixel density is higher on the smartphone than on any previous mobile handset ever designed, and spreads a full 16 million colors across the screen at the rate of 468 pixels located over each inch of display space.
This gives the HTC One a Full HD designation with 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution. Corning Gorilla Glass 2 adds scratch resistance, and the phone delivers up to 16.0 hours of conversation from a full charge. The speedy CPU has been clocked at 1.7 GHz, and is a quad core Snapdragon 600 model. The phone delivers a full 32 GB of on board closet space and a generous 2.0 GB of RAM system memory. Video capture runs 1,080P HD resolution with the rear facing 2.0 UltraPixel camcorder, which delivers an extensive customization and special effects package, a high-tech CMOS image sensor, special ISP and floating optical lens system.
The HTC One 4G can be purchased at a discounted price tag now starting at .
