That is EXPENSIVE.

 

[pranav0091]

It was expected to be expensive. The S4 is also expected at this price or about a 1k lower... Nothing to be surprised here.

 

[Kl@w-24]

Expensive but droolworthy. Might have to sell a kidney.

 

[Empirial]

I'd pick HTC One over Samsung S4 anyday. Atleast now we can expect a major price cut for HTC Butterfly

 

[raksrules]

All flagships (except few) have started to cost more than 40K at least the MRP. No idea what the street price will be.

 

[Sudh4r]

WOW. Not bad. I was excepting it for more than 50k.

 

[thetechfreak]

Well SIV will cost a lot more than this anyways.
Time to recommend a few people the One

 

[coderunknown]

HTC's new tagline "quietly back to its senses"

 

[heidi2521]

That price . I hope the street price is lower.

No doubt HTC repeats what BlackBerry do. As d later also announce it's products at enormous prices which is inappropriate according to market trends , as in the case of BB Z10. Same is that of HTC Butterfly and now 'One'. These companies must present something new and refreshing , as Nokia did by launching WP 8 devices at favorable prices , to survive in market

expensive

 

[pratyush997]

For all who are considering it as Expensive!
S 4 will be rocking @ 40-45k !
and for this Build quality and H/W, you won't get it for Nexus's Price!

 

[ZTR]

Better to go for Xperia Z then which has a better camera and is also water and dust proof

 

[pratyush997]

^ buddy! That thing runs a year OLD CPU

 

[smashingdude]

HTC already had a potential winner in their hands. With this sensible pricing, they have done a world of good to themselves.

What?
I sure hope you didnt mean to say HTC copies Blackberry..

While the price is high without doubt, one cant really expect those specs for a lower price at launch either. HTC is desperate but desperate not to show it, unlike Sony. But with the Butterfly selling at 44k odd I can only marvel at the level or thick-headedness of the HTC big-shots.

And I expect the base variant of s4 to be priced LOWER than the HTC One. Its always been that way, Samsung trying to marginally undercut HTC. Mark my words.

 

[kapilove77]

Sry but i am going nexus 4 way. thx for the offer though HTC.

 

[ZTR]

^ buddy! That thing runs a year OLD CPU

No.

It has the SAME chipset as One just its clocked at lower speed.

 

[kapilove77]

No.

It has the SAME chipset as One just its clocked at lower speed.

I don't think so. Htc one has some 600 series chipset which was shown at CES 2013. But X:Z got S4 pro like nexus 4. Or maybe i am wrong someone else can clear it.
