Really great phone on the market right now, the Samsung Galaxy S4, it can’t be denied that the One is the best thing HTC has made in a while. It’s still not for everyone, especially if you’re one of the now more than 5 million strong who prefer their Android have a little more Google in the software department. To address this growing niche, multiple sources are now claiming HTC has a build in the works for a vanilla HTC One running Android 4.2.2.
According to the sources at geek.com, HTC is working on a version of the HTC One running stock Android Jelly Bean instead of its usual Sense UI.
The report says that HTC is having serious discussions about a "Google Edition" HTC One, and goes on to say that the device "will be announced within the next two weeks". The report also confirms LlabTooFeR's prediction of a late summer release. The move would be expected to strengthen HTC's ties with the developer community, following the expansion of the HTC Dev program, and the HTC One Developer Edition.
Sources claim this vanilla HTC One will be announced within the next two weeks, with potential release slated for sometime this summer. This falls in line with claims from HTC that production for the One will be doubling soon, as well as plan to have the HTC One updates to Android 4.2.2. in the same time frame.
