The HTC One (M8) is available in Gunmetal Grey, Amber Gold, and Glacial Silver colour options in select markets starting Tuesday. However, HTC told NDTV Gadgets that the India launch is likely in the third week of April.

HTC also pointed out the phone will be compatible with the LTE band used by Airtel and Reliance Jio for their 4G LTE networks in the country. However, the company said a software update may need to be rolled out to enable this compatibility.

The highlight of the HTC One (M8) is the dual camera setup that puts a 4-UltraPixel camera alongside a depth sensing camera that lets you do cool things like refocussing images after they've been clicked and other stuff. A 5-megapixel front camera is included as well.
