The pricing and availability of HTC’s 2014 Flagship Device, the HTC One (M8) is finally out for India. The Indian launch took place almost after a month from since the smartphone was revealed in UK and USA, on 25th March 2014 but that’s not something new seeing those are the major players in the Smartphone game. The HTC M8 will cost 49,900 Rupees at launch and will be on sale in the first week of May (Or May 7th to be exact), so there is still a short road ahead of getting there.
