HTC one running on stock Android which you could buy on Google Play Store, sounds too good to be true? Well, You can buy HTC One Google edition soon! Yes, rumors are after the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S4 "Google Edition", HTC one could be the next phone to get the similar treatment. If sources are to be believed HTC one running on Stock latest Android OS could be launched within 2-3 weeks from now.
HTC representative during the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S4 "Google edition" tweeted from her personal account:
You could either buy the GS4 running stock Android or… "wait."
The only logical answer to wait for what could be the announcement of HTC one Google edition. HTC is known to be developer friendly and with their recent launch of HTCdev website they made their intentions clear. The second source is from Geek.com who predicted launch of Samsung Galaxy S4 Google edition a day before the official announcement from Google at Google I/O 2013. So we have no choice but to take them seriously.
HTC is already selling HTC One developer edition. HTC One with unlocked bootloader is very popular among developers, the question arises if HTC really needs to do this, considering the fact that HTC One's camera and stereo speakers are the best selling features of the device and they won't work on stock Android, as these features rely heavily on HTC sense software.
I think HTC One Google edition, running on stock Android is nevertheless a very good idea. The pure stock Android enthusiasts do not care about such stuff. These people have ported stock Android on Note 2, Galaxy S3 and even Galaxy S4 and have no qualms of not having S pen and air gestures!! Also HTC would certainly get a great push from Google which would help them increase the sales of HTC One.
