Title: Mobile Review: HTC One not coming to Verizon in the USA
Post by: Bibi Lyra on Mar 17, 2013, 08:30 PM
HTC USA has confirmed via its official Twitter account that HTC One (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one-5313.php) won't be available on Verizon's networks. It also suggests to check the HTC DROID DNA (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_droid_dna-5113.php) instead, if you are into Verizon.

@cizzlen (http://twitter.com/cizzlen) The HTC One will not be available on the Verizon network, but have you seen the awesome, #DROIDDNA (http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23DROIDDNA)? http://t.co/8Xkyyd2t5s (http://www.theinfostride.com/'http://t.co/8Xkyyd2t5s') via SocialEngage (http://www.exacttarget.com/social) (http://www.theinfostride.com/'http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/3278349434/171e382ee7b9e0ad6534c083991fae8b_normal.png') (http://www.theinfostride.com/'http://twitter.com/HTCUSA')HTC USA (http://www.theinfostride.com/'http://twitter.com/HTCUSA')HTCUSA[/size][/color] It seems the recently announced Galaxy S4 will be a competitor short on the Verizon's network. The DROID DNA is surely a powerful smartphone - it is powered by the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset and comes with a 5.0" 1080p display, but it's been around for four months already and, let's face it -  the DROID DNA is not as beautiful as the One.

On a positive note, the DROID DNA will be updated with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and will get the HTC Sense UI 5.0, which premiered with the HTC One.

A few days ago we informed you of possible production bottlenecks (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_might_get_delayed_due_to_components_shortage-news-5667.php) for some of the HTC One components. The good news is those won't affect the US release date for the carriers, which will get it - AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. While a fixed date has not been announced yet, it might as well be this very month.
