Verizon HTC One Release Date: Phone Spotted In Carrier's Inventory By Tipster

Verizon customers rejoice: it looks like the HTC One will be coming to the carrier soon. A new leaked image from notorious tipster @evleaks shows that Verizon is indeed slated to receive the flagship HTC handset.

Thanks to SlashGear, @evleaks reveals a screenshot, posted above, which shows off Verizon's HTC inventory over the past few years. As one can see, the "One" is listed right underneath the "Droid Incredible 4G" and above the "Rezound."

The screenshot comes to @evleaks through someone "that needs advance knowledge of upcoming devices." SlashGear points out this could be from someone in advertising, public relations, or accessory manufacturing. Remember that @evleaks has been wrong in the past, and given the anonymity of rumors such as these, it's hard to verify the validity of the report. Still, there are more signs that Verizon is slated to receive the HTC One.

Well known and reliable HTC modder LlabTooFer recently took to Twitter to explain that Verizon is still interested in releasing the HTC One despite having announced a partnership with Jennifer Lopez at an event many were expecting to see the One.

"@LlabTooFeR So, there was no Verizon HTC One reveal today. Do you think a reveal is still possible?" asks @c_dusel42.

"@c_dusel42 It will be announced later," answered LlabTooFer.

Not exactly the most specific date, but given the amount of reports circulating a Verizon HTC One, it only helps solidify the possibility since LlabTooFer is a respected member of the modding community with a solid track record.

Most expect Verizon to release the HTC One by July. The delay in a Verizon release could have been due to the supply shortages that plagued the HTC One's initial release.

The HTC One comes with a 4.7-inch 1080p display, an aluminum body, a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, and 2GB RAM. The smartphone also boasts an "Ultrapixel" rear-facing camera, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and Android 4.1.2.

Will you be picking up the HTC One on Verizon? Or has the wait worn your patience thin?
