HTC announces collector's edition UEFA Champions League engraved One M8

If you’re a serious football fanatic, or soccer for the benefit of our American friends, you may be interested in HTC’s new UEFA Collector’s Edition One M8 smartphone. The handset was announced in partnership with UK retailer Carphone Warehouse at an event with Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel and Arsenal Women’s goalkeeper Emma Byrne.

The handset features exactly the same specifications as the regular HTCOne M8, but comes with every Champions League winning team engraved into the back of the aluminium chassis, from Marseille in 1992 to Real’s 10th tournament win last season. Last year, HTCreleased a similar UEFA Collector’s Edition One M8 with a trophy engraved on the back.

If you’re looking to get your hands on one, you won’t be able to buy one online or in-store. Instead, HTCwill be running a competition through its various social media channels, where winners will receive one of the few Collector’s Edition handsets. Better keep your eyes on HTC’s Facebook, Twitter and G+ pages.
