Google Play Edition Samsung Galaxy S4 And HTC One Now Available, Will Start Shipping

Despite plenty of rumors that attested to the contrary, Google didn’t show off any new Nexus phones at its I/O developer conference – instead it trotted out a version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that ran an untouched version of Android 4.2, and Google SVP Sundar Pichai followed up with a similar announcement about an unfettered HTC One. The announcements left Android fans slobbering in anticipation, the wait is over – the so-called Google Play edition S4 and One are available in the Google Play Store for $649 and $599 respectively, and Google says they’ll start shipping on July 9.
