If you're looking for a great deal on one of the best smartphones of 2013, Amazon is offering the Verizon HTC One for $49.99 instead of the $149.99 Verizon charges.
The HTC One has been widely viewed as one of the best smartphones to be released this year. That title is usually reserved for Apple and Samsung, but HTC has hit it out of the park with the HTC One. The company decided to take the best ingredients from Apple and Samsung when building the HTC One. HTC took Apple's superior design abilities on board by using an aluminum unibody case and gorgeous glass display. It took Samsung's love of using high-end specs in its flagship smartphones and went all in with the HTC One. HTC included its own special touches such as Sense 5 and BlinkFeed software, its HTC UltraPixel camera, and BoomSound, which have all been highlighted in many reviews of the smartphone.
The Verizon HTC One features an anodized aluminum unibody enclosure and sports a 4.7-inch Super LCD 3 Full HD (1080p) display that is also scratch-resistant. The handset is powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor and runs Android 4.1.2 and HTC Sense 5.0 with BlinkFeed. It includes 32GB of internal storage and has 2GB of RAM.
Its camera capabilities include an HTC UltraPixel rear camera with HTC Zoe support and dedicated HTC ImageChip, 88 wide-angle lens with HDR capability, as well as 1080p video recording on both its front and rear cameras. The HTC One is also the first smartphone to boast dual front-facing stereo speakers with HTC BoomSound, which also includes built-in amplifiers with Beats Audio. In terms of wireless connectivity, the HTC One features a 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and GPS. The handset also comes with an infrared universal remote control with program guide and a 2,300mAh battery.
Amazon is offering the 32GB HTC One for $49.99, currently the lowest price the smartphone has ever had. You'll need to sign a new 2-year contract and Amazon is throwing in free two-day shipping with the order.
