HTC One Dual SIM with microSD slot coming to UK

HTC One hit the shelves in late March and despite its initial production issues, it's still one of the most popular smartphones in the market.
Unfortunately HTC One didn't have a microSD card slot for memory expansion and it faced a lot of negative feedback about it. What's really odd is that HTC was offering a microSD-enabled dual-SIM model of the One on the Chinese market, but didn't give the international version the same treatment.

 The phone can switch between two networks on the fly, and HTC’s Sense makes it easy to manage the two network connections (GSM and GSM/HSPA/WCDMA) and two sets of contacts.
The device does not support LTE, but besides that, nothing has changed in terms of specs compared to the original version of the One. Despite the removable back plate, the 2,300 mAh battery is not removable.
The microSD card slot enables the addition of up to 64GB of storage, double the internal capacity of the top version of the HTC One. Though few will probably notice the difference, the removable aluminum back-plate makes the HTC One Dual SIM 10 grams heavier and 1.1mm thicker than the original model.
The HTC One Dual SIM is now available for pre-order on HTC’s UK site for £495 ($809), and will become available from other retailers and carriers in the future.
