HTC’s President of Global Sales, Jason Mackenzie, has officially revealed that the HTC One Developer Edition will be skipping the Android 4.2.2 update and will jump straight to the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
After keeping us waiting for several month, Verizon has finally confirmed that it will be selling the HTC One online and in stores starting Thursday, August 22. The device will be priced at $199.99 with a two-year contract, which is the same price Verizon charges for the One’s biggest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The HTC One is five months old now, and we’re still waiting for it to come to Verizon. But that move looks a step closer this week after the carrier erected a new sign up page on its website for those hoping to get their hands on the device as soon as it’s available.
HTC today kicked off its “Change” marketing campaign that features Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. The Taiwanese company is calling this its “most powerful marketing campaign to date,” part of a “long-term strategy that celebrates HTC’s disruptive impact on the mobile industry over its 17-year history.”
The only images we’ve seen of the upcoming HTC One Max up to this point have been small and somewhat blurry hands-on pictures taken by those who have managed to obtain the device early. But the latest picture is a high-quality, “non-final” press shot believed to be from HTC.
But according to one HTC employee, it’s fake.
