HTC One 2 M8 release date: For the past couple of months, we have been hearing and reading a lot of rumors about the upcoming HTC flagship. But on March 25, on its launch event which would be simultaneously held in London and New York, the smartphone is said to be up for grabs minutes after the announcement. 

According to a report by GSM Arena, retailer Carphone Warehouse has announced that stocks of the high-end Android device would arrive to its stores minutes after the official unveiling. 

This means consumers who are located in the UK and could be watching the HTC event in London will have the opportunity to get a hold of the handset that same afternoon. 

In the report, there are five other retailers in the country that will get All New HTC One. They are Westfield Stratford, Westfield White City, Oxford Circus, Centrepoint, and Tottenham Court Road. 

These stores would also host special events on their own to 'celebrate' the arrival of the HTC's newest flagship that aims to take on the heavyweights in the Android flagship scene. 

LG, Sony and Samsung have all released their high-end devices in the past month, but so far none of them were able to live up to the hype. Sony's Xperia Z2 remained bulky and huge, while Samsung's Galaxy S5 totally disappointed with its plastic cover with the odd dotted design. 

LG's G Pro 2 could be the only one that can stand a chance against the All New HTC One as far as hype level is concerned. 

It'll just be a week until we finally what the Taiwanese manufacturer has in store for all of us.
