HTC accidentally confirms the existence of the new HTC One with stock Android

The Gallery app’s description states that “Support for HTC One(M8) Google Play Edition is limited to HTC Photo Editing,” something tweaker Kid_Stevie noted. The HTC One(M8) most likely refers to the new One that HTC will present on Tuesday afternoon.
