The HTC One is one of the most notable smartphones of the year so far although it will come up with some tough competition when the Samsung Galaxy S4 releases in regions worldwide from late April. We’ve been hugely impressed with the HTC One, both the design and top-end specs and although it has now just become available in the UK it is still to appear in the US. We have now learned though that when it releases in the US later in April that the 64GB internal storage option will only be available on AT&T.
We already know that the HTC One will be carried by AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint in the US and could come to Verizon too at some point. The specs are high-end and it comes in 32 or 64GB internal storage options. However this cannot be expanded via microSD and because of this many people might have already decided to opt for the 64GB version. Unfortunately it seems that won’t be a choice open to you if you want to purchase the HTC One through T-Mobile or Sprint.
AT&T recently uploaded a promotional video to its YouTube channel in which it claims that the 64GB HTC One will be an AT&T exclusive. There’s no date for release yet or pricing although we learn that the 32GB option will also be available through AT&T. You can see the 5-minute video that we’ve embedded for you below this story that gives you a comprehensive look at the HTC One and where storage options are discussed next to the 64GB a message clearly reads (AT&T exclusive).
We think this could lead to a lot of disappointed customers as although a 32GB option is nothing to be sniffed at many of us don’t want to worry about storage when we purchase a brand new smartphone, although of course cloud solutions are something to consider. As T-Mobile and Sprint will only be stocking the 32GB option we wonder if these carriers will lose many sales because of this.
HtC one had full HD displays are awesome for playing games, watching video, and reading books since text stays crisp, even when it’s tiny. And the quad-core processors on both phones ensure smooth playback and high framerates. With all else being equal, the media battle comes down to audio quality.
Even though Samsung has a history of producing excellent media players, the company hasn’t made audio a priority in the Galaxy line the way HTC has with their phones. Every time you play a song, a game, or a video on the HTC One, Beats Audio kicks in to enhance the audio quality and the result is impressive. The S4′s audio isn’t bad, it just pales in comparison to the One. HTC also gets props for placing two stereo speakers on the front of the phone. Sharing video and music with friends is far better when everyone can hear the audio, even in a noisy environment.
