HTC One M8 Google Play Edition “Coming Soon” for $699

Just like last year, HTC will be making the stripped down stock Android version of the recently announced HTC One M8 available through the Google Play Store. The GPE One M8 is listed as “Coming Soon” and is carrying a hefty price tag of $699.99. That would be $50 more than a developer edition of the device. Oddly enough, the Dev edition has since been pulled off the HTC order page too.

We know the previous GPE HTC One ended up being a little bit of a problematic device for some. HTC has put a lot of work into the additional hardware and functions again this year in the BoomSound and Duo Camera, all of which are pretty heavily reliant on HTC’s software to work properly. We can only hope that they have things sorted well enough to make the GPE One M8 be everything it is, but just with stock Android.

There aren’t any noticeable spec changes from the official specs that were just announced. It will be unlocked and be supported on T-Mobile and AT&T networks.
