HTC One E8 Now Available in the US Through Sprint

The HTC One E8 is already available for purchase in Asia and other markets and since the smartphone is reportedly selling well, it was only a matter of time until it arrived in the US. The plastic brother of the One M8 will become available for purchase in the States through Sprint’s network.

Sprint officially revealed in this blog post that they will be carrying the HTC One E8 in two body colors: white and gray. The E8 is a high-end device, borrowing most of the technical specifications of the One M8. The main differences are the plastic body and the 13 MP primary shooter that replaces M8′s 4 MP UltraPixel sensor.

Because it’s made using plastic instead of metal, the HTC One M8 is a bit cheaper that the true flagship smartphone of the Taiwan-based phone maker. As I was mentioning above, the other technical specifications are identical: quad-core Snapdragon 801 CPU, 2 GB of RAM, 5-inch Full HD screen, 2,600 mAh battery, 16 GB storage, and support for microSD cards up to 128 GB.

Sprint is offering the HTC One M8 at a price of $99 after you agree to sing a two-year deal with them, but you will also be able to grab it off-contract at a price of $499. On the other hand, the HTC One M8 is $199 with a two-year deal, or $649 without a contract. It seems that the metal case of the M8 is worth $150.

If you’re tempted to get your hands on the Sprint HTC One M8, hear that the smartphone is already up for grabs in the carrier’s brick and mortar stores or via Telesales at 1-800-SPRINT1. Are you buying?
