The All New HTC One will be a Verizon exclusive at launch, claims report

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

Saying that Verizon was late to the HTC One party back in 2013 is a slight understatement, as the flagship made its way to Big Red months after landing on its competitors’ line-up. However, this year, we’ve seen a lot of 2014 HTC One leaks, and, from those, there were many involving Verizon, whether that’s renders with the phone wearing the carrier logo, a retail box, or the most recent leak. There ...

New HTC One specs revealed, and camera resolution is finally among them

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

When it comes to the 2014 all new HTC One, there’s not a lot lot we don’t know by this point (due in no small part to the phone leaking like it’s Deepwater Horizon – too soon?).

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

One week to go until HTC unveils the all new One: that much me know. We have a few unanswered questions about the smartphone (and many more we think we think we know the answers to, but still could stand to have some confirmation), but really the bulk of the phone feels like it’s already revealed itself to us, by means of the dozens of leaks we’ve seen so far. But for all the information we’ve been able to put together, one very important detail has mostly eluded us: when might you actually be able to purchase the new ...

New HTC One tries on some third-party cases; are we SURE it hasn’t launched yet?

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

A couple weeks back, some big, beautiful, crisp, high-res images of the all new 2014 HTC One showing up with some aftermarket cases would have been a big, big deal.

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy
