HTC One: The best Android smartphone on the planet launches today

The smartphone that changes everything is now available for purchase. The HTC One is unquestionably the best Android smartphone on the planet right now, and it is available for purchase beginning Friday from both AT&T andSprintT-Mobile will launch the sleek new smartphone next Wednesday. The HTC One launches at a time when HTC absolutely needs a successful launch to help stop the bleeding. Unfortunately, the One has just over a week on store shelves at AT&T and Sprint before Samsung’s Galaxy S4 launches and draws away the spotlight.

BGR reviewed AT&T’s version of the HTC One earlier this month and called it the closest thing to a no-compromise smartphone the world has ever seen.
