The HTC One smartphone is one of the most notable releases so far this year and a true competitor for the Samsung Galaxy S4 that is due to start releasing worldwide in a few days. The HTC One has just arrive stateside after an earlier release in other regions such as the UK and Canada and today we have details of a RadioShack deal for the phone that could snag you a Google Play $50 freebie.
A few days ago we told how T-Mobile was offering a free car dock with purchases of the HTC One but the phone is also available through other outlets than the major carriers. RadioShack has now posted details of its HTC One price on AT&T or Sprint. If you purchase the device on either of those carriers from RadioShack by June 1, you’ll receive a $50 Google Play credit so that you have plenty of content to start you off with such as new apps, music, books etc.
To qualify for that offer you’ll need to pay $199.99 at RadioShack locations with a qualifying two-year contract and RadioShack also offers 24/7 Mobile Product Support free of charge. That $199.99 price is for the 32GB model with Google Play freebie. There’s also a Trade and Save program whereby trading in can get you as much as $300 credit towards a new device and accessories.
As a quick reminder we’ll tell you that the HTC One is powered by a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, has a 4.7-inch Super LCD3 display with resolution of 1920 x 1080, 2GB of RAM and 32 or 64GB of internal storage, non-expandable. It also has a 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera and runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, upgradable to 4.2.2.
PhanDroid has received a promotional flyer from RadioShack that shows the price of the upcoming HTC One for $199.99. The interesting part about the flyer is that RadioShack offers a $50 Google Play gift card with the purchase of an HTC One on a 2-year contract. The flyer doesn’t give any word on a release date, but the HTC One is expected to launch sometime in April.
T-Mobile on the other hand offers a deal of its own: Order the HTC One online and receive a free car kit. The kit allows you put your phone on your car’s windshield or dashboard to use as a GPS. T-Mobile offers the HTC One for $99 down plus an extra $20 a month.
RadioShack has confirmed it will be stocking the new flagship phone from HTC, in an e-mail to Electronista. The HTC One, a 4.7-inch Android device with a 468ppi pixel density, a quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, and options for 32GB and 64GB of fixed storage, will be available from the retailer from its US launch date, which will be sometime in March. A price has still not been confirmed for the smartphone, which will be revealed closer to its street date.
The Wi-Fi version of the Samsung Galaxy Camera has been sighted at the FCC, having undergone certification. The camera, spotted by Engadget in an FCC filing, will lose the 4G connectivity from the original, but will retain dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, the 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 21x zoom, support for ISO 100 to 3200, GPSm GLONASS, and Bluetooth 4.0.
