News & Reviews:   HTC One Nexus Edition

After our earlier report on a possible HTC One Google Edition, it seems that this rumour has been confirmed. HTC are going to release a HTC One running stock Android for a Nexus experience, much in the same way as when Google announced the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition at Google I/O. According to HTC, the HTC One Nexus Edition will be priced at $599 (RM184) and be sold at the Google Play Store from 26 June 2013.

After Google's recent surprise Nexus device unveiling of a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition at Google I/O, quite a few smartphone makers are looking to do the same with their smartphones. HTC are no different as rumours are about that they are working on a similar HTC One Google Edition as well. Currently all HTC One smartphones use Android as the operating system with HTC's Sense UI layered on top of it. Opting for a HTC One Google Edition would mean this Sense UI being removed leaving the stock vanilla Android. Like all Nexus devices it would certainly mean faster updates from Google (which may or may not improve UltraPixel camera performance).
