Since the appearance of HTC OneGoogle Edition, the owners of the HTC One they look with some suspicion at that twin brother who has suddenly appeared on his smartphone. An aesthetically and 'genetically' identical brother - due to the hardware that both devices mount - but that has a series of differences that make Dad Google pay more attention to it, for example, when it comes to having the latest Android news.
