I had the chance to check out a HTC One Google Play Edition briefly as well as compare it to my daily driver HTC One. Aside from the obvious difference that the Google Play version runs an unskinned version of Android's Jelly Bean 4.2.2 OS with no HTC Sense overlay whatsoever, the two devices are physically identical. Battery life on the Google Play Edition isn't as good as the regular HTC One and you apparently need to hack around to enable 4G-LTE which the regular version has working out of the box. The HTC One Google Play Edition, which will receive Android OS updates before other devices, isn't yet available to Canadians and costs $599.
