UPDATE: The gold HTC One, without the 18-carat gold price, is now available to buy in the UK from Phones 4u and Carphone Warehouse.
Both of the UK smartphone retailers are only offering the gold HTC One on a contract basis, so you’ll have to sign up in order to get your hands on one.
Monthly tariff prices start at £17 per month, but you won’t be able to get the gold-themed HTC flagship on Three at the moment.
the cheapest deal for a gold HTC One with no upfront handset cost will set you back £29 per month on a 24 month Vodafone contract with 1GB of data.
Original Story:
A gold HTC One is coming to UK markets soon, but it won’t be the same as the 18-carat gold MOBO awards exclusive.
You’ll be able to buy your very own gold HTC One soon for a far more reasonable price that if it was really covered in 18-carat gold.
HTC is releasing a gold-coloured version of its flagship HTC One after people got excited about the 18-carat one created especially for winners of the UK MOBO Awards.
Silver, blue, red and black varieties of the HTC One are already on the market from various retailers, but soon they will be joined by the gold one. It isn’t clear when the gold HTC One will launch or how much it will cost yet.
