Leaked O2 screens confirm HTC One date, reveal late April launch for Xperia P and Xperia U

Leaked inventory information from British network O2 appears to confirm the reported April 5 launch date for the HTC One series, while revealing a late April debut for the Sony Xperia P and Xperia U. The leaked images obtained by TechnoBuffalo ?show a busy April for O2 UK, with five major Android handset launches.

According to the site's source, the One X, One S and One V will all be available from April 5. The source also claims prices for HTC's new handsets range from £32 to £37 per month on 24-month contracts. It's unclear what up-front payment, if any, will be required for O2 customers to get their hands on these phones, though. And O2 often allows customers to cut down their monthly bills to around £20 or so per month, if they're willing to pay some of the cost of the phone right away.

Meanwhile, Sony's new mid-range handsets, the Xperia P and Xperia U, are said to be launching on April 23, and TechnoBuffalo's? source says the U will set you back a minimum of £10 per month, while the P will be offered on a £37 per month deal. Again, we probably could've guessed those numbers, and without the up-front price for those deals, that information isn't particularly useful.

The April 5 date for HTC's stuff has already been confirmed by the unveiling of a launch event in Paris on that date, however the Sony launch date remains unconfirmed, so take that with a pinch of salt for the moment.

We got to play with the One X, One S, One V, Xperia P and Xperia U at last month's MWC, so hit the links to find out more about each model. And you can bet we'll bring you all the latest over the next month, as these phones approach release.
