The HTC One is undoubtedly one of the most talked about phones right now and although it has already reached buyers in the UK those in Canada and the US should see the release later this month. We now have news for those who want to purchase the HTC One in Canada with pre-order details and pricing through TELUS.
TELUS has now announced that its pre-orders for the HTC One are now open for the phone’s shipping on April 18. The cost on a three-year contract with a $50 monthly spend before tax seems pretty reasonable at $149 or for those who’d rather purchase the HTC One outright the price is $659. This is a hotly-awaited phone as not only is the design superb but it also has a top raft of specs and features so we imagine pre-orders with TELUS will be pretty busy.
TELUS says to allow 2-3 business days for delivery once shipping begins and we’ll give you a quick reminder on specs so that you can see what the HTC One has to offer. It’s powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, has a 4.7-inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, non-expandable. There’s also HTC’s new UltraPixel rear camera with 1080p video capture, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 2300 mAh battery and LTE connectivity (where applicable).
The HTC One launches with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, which will be upgradable to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean at some point. Dimensions are 137.4mm x 68.9mm x 9.3mm and it weighs 140g. As there still appear to be shortages of the HTC One because of a well-documented component shortage and some pre-orders on other carriers have already sold out, then it may be worth getting in your pre-order with Telus quickly if this is your next smartphone choice.
The smartphone market is extremely competitive with a number of worthy handsets becoming available all the time, but while Samsung has been the dominate force more recently on the Android platform, it looks like HTC are making a timely comeback as unlocked versions of the HTC One have sold out in the US.
HTC’s handset is certainly gaining some positive plaudits from owners and reviewers alike, and the handset will be giving rival offerings something to think about this year. We recently revealed that stock had run out on carrier T-Mobile, but now both the 64GB Developer Edition and the 32GB unlocked version are at the time of writing showing out of stock on the HTC website.
Some of this could be down to the fact there wasn’t much stock to begin with as the company admitted themselves there were issues sourcing enough components for the camera module, but it is certainly promising signs for the company that recently reported falling profits.
At the moment there is only the option of ordering the device on either AT&T or Sprint in the country, and this comes at a time where other regions have been promised the handset by the end of the month to further provide consumers access to the stunning looking smartphone.
