Rest of the phone’s hardware is pretty much unchanged though we guess there are some tweaks here in there to accommodate for the ever-demanding Japanese mobile market. For instance, there’s the Infrared port on the HTC J One, since that thing is apparently a nice-to-have feature in the Land of the rising Sun.

The J One keeps its 4.7-inch full HD screen and Ultrapixel camera, as well as LTE connectivity support, an array of sensors and NFC capability to make it compatible with FeliCa contactless payments.

No word whether some special version of the HTC One with a microSD card slot is heading to the West. It’s likely you’ll have to settle with the amount of built-in storage you get while relying on some cloud service to store additional media files…

When compared to its international counterpart, Japanese HTC One is pretty much the same though we’re certain it will come with a ton of preloaded apps to enable country-specific services like mobile payments and mobile TV. In other words, expect the same aluminum body that packs a 4.7-inch full HD screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, Ultrapixel Camera on the back, 2.1-megapixel rear camera, 32GB of internal storage, while Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean is running the show (with Sense 5 singing on top).

Price was not unveiled but we’re betting KDDI is heavily subsidizing the purchase, probably offering the One for next to nothing… as long as you put a signature on their contract.
