HTC One to Launch on AT&T, Sprint April 19

AT&T and Sprint will both launch the HTC One on April 19, the carriers said in separate announcements. Preorders begin this week.

Sprint will begin taking preorders for the phone Friday, April 5, while AT&T will let its customers buy one a day early, on April 4. On both carriers, a 32GB HTC One costs $199.99 with a two-year contract.

T-Mobile will also be offering the HTC One contract-free, letting users either pay the full price of the phone or buy it through an equipment installment plan. T-Mobile hasn't set a date for release, although its sign-up page for the phone has an offer in place for customers who purchase by April 26.

Verizon hasn't been named as a carrier partner for the HTC One, but there are rumors it will be available on that network later this year.

The HTC One is the company's newest flagship Android phone. The device features an aluminum-unibody casing (see video below), a camera that captures images with larger pixels called "UltraPixels," and a BlinkFeed — a Flipboard-like experience that the phone boots into by default.

Check out our hands on with the HTC One, and watch for our review in the coming weeks.
