HTC is distributing press invitations for its next big event, scheduled for March 25th, where the company’s next flagship smartphone will be revealed. As with the HTC One launch in February of last year, the announcement will be made via simultaneous events in London and New York, and HTC promises that the phone in question will be its primary flagship for 2014. I can’t wait to see this replacement for the current HTC One.

And then for US customers HTC has announced HTC Advantage.

HTC Advantage is a new free program that will automatically accompany every HTC One series smartphone sold in the U.S. beginning immediately. HTC as part of this program promises that it will continue to update its smartphones to the latest version of Android for up to two years following launch.

Second, in the event that an HTC One series smartphone owner cracks the screen on his or her phone within the first six months of purchasing it, HTC will replace the cracked display for free. This is a once only replacement.

And the final offer is free 25-50gb worth of Google Drive storage free of charge.

So HTC are trying to offer some long term assurity with new HTC phones which is a positive move.

And rather bizarrely the new HTC One will have dual rear lenses for the camera.
