HTC One X+ made official!

Today, HTC has announced a follow up to their flagship One X device, named the One X+ it features a fast processor, bigger battery and Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" out of the box with HTC's new version of Sense (4+). This comes a day after a leak revealed all of the specs which spoiled this smartphones unveiling for me.

The new One X+features the same 4.7-inch SuperLCD2 display with a resolution of 720x1280, powered by a faster Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at a mighty 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) paired with a gig of RAM.

Pricing is at £479.99 on PAYG from O2 in the UK, the handset should be released in time for the holiday season, contract details haven't been released as of now.

HTC One X+ discovered in O2 brochure...

The HTC One X was a great phone but evidently it didn't sell well, due to the anticipation of the Samsung Galaxy S3. HTC has been readying a plus version of the device and this device looks to have been spotted in an O2 brochure. The phone is pictured with specs and pricing.

Specs include a 4.7-inch SuperLCD display with 720p resolution (720x1280), powered by Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) with 1GB of RAM which will run the latest version of Android being 4.1 "Jelly Bean". Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls. The One X+ gets a bump up in internal storage now being 64GB whether it is expandable or not has yet to be specified.

The price for the device is £479.99 on PAYG and is said to be "coming soon", how soon we don't know but expect it in the coming months for the holiday season.

HTC's phablet spotted in the wild...

A picture of possible HTC's upcoming phablet has been leaked by the good old folks at TechOrz. Weirdly, they are calling the device the "Endeavour C2" which would mean that this is the HTC One X+. Either/or, the picture looks more like a phablet shape. Looking at the screen size which looks big, being around the 5-inch mark.

The announcement of both devices may come soon to refresh HTC's one series and bring sales to the Korean company after a failing 2012 and end less lawsuits.

HTC debuts China bound One SC...

HTC has revealed a new mid-range handset for China dubbed the One SC. Being a one series phone it looks like a One X but on the back features a unique design never seen before. I have to say I like the three-tone effect.

Anyway, specs time! The device features a 4.3-inch SuperLCD display with WVGA resolution (480x800), powered by dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz with 1GB of RAM. Camera's on the device includes a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera but no front-facing camera is present. Internal storage is at 4GB and can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB). The handset runs Android 4.0 with HTC's Sense 4.0 laid over it.

HTC Endeavour C2...

After a disappointing year for HTC even with a new range of flagship devices, they just couldn't keep up and now they are loosing money big time. However, HTC could be attempting to fix that by bringing new models to the market. You may have heard of the HTC One X+ for T-Mobile, well it may not be for just T-Mobile as a device by the name of "Endeavour C2" has popped up.

The Endeavour C2 has been said to sport the same design as the current One X available but have a faster processor clock speed, bumping up from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz. This speed difference may mean that the Endeavour C2/ HTC One X+ will be thicker due to a larger battery. I don't think they'll be any difference to screen size or the a addition of a MicroSD card slot which we'd all love.

HTC planning One V successor?

HTC may be preparing a One V successor already after the current One series has failed to get the Korean company out of financial jeopardy. The device is known as HTC "Proto" and has better specs than the One V currently offered packing a bigger screen and Snapdragon S4 processor.

All of the specs include a 4-inch WVGA (480c800) Super-LCD display, powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 (M8225) with 512MB of RAM clocked at 1GHz. Camera's include the typical 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and no front-facing camera. Internal storage is at 4GB and can be expanded by MicroSD (up to 32GB), battery capacity hasn't yet been said and the device will probably run Android 4.0.

All in all, a great device and depending on pricing, it may actually sell well. This device may actually be unveiled with the rumoured HTC One X+, until such day, we can only speculate.

HTC's WP8 roadmap leaked...

One X with WP8 start screen

With HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Huawei being the first manufacturers to bring the new version of the OS to us, we were all waiting for a sign of what these devices will feature and look like. Well, we didn't have to hold our breaths for long as TheVerge has been given HTC's road map with all of HTC's upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices and boy are we in for a treat!

The first being the One X of WP8 named the "Zenith" sporting a 4.7-inch Super LCD2 display and being powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

The second being called the "Accord", this device will feature a 4.3-inch Super LCD2 display and will be powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and again features a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

And last but not least, the "Rio", features a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) resolution display, powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Asus unveil Transformer AiO

Asus has announced a new AiO (All in One) device called the Transformer AiO at Computex 2012, This device is amazing being a desktop screen but once detached from the dock can be a normal tablet. Not only that but it can dual-boot into Windows 8 or Android 4.0. Asus are calling it the "World's first Windows RT consumer device".

The device comes with a massive 18.4-inch display or in other words, nearly 2 times the size of the iPad's display. It runs on Android 4.0 and Windows 8, Win8 is said to be the default OS of the tablet but Android can easily be accessed through a button on the device.

I believe this is a must have for someone looking for a normal Windows powered desktop computer but also wants a Android tablet, because this can replace both devices with one. One thing to consider is the size of that screen, people are gonna have to get used to these displays as I see many more coming in future.

HTC Ville C specs leaked...

BriefMobile has been handed a spec sheet for a device called "Ville C" by a unknown source. The device is reportedly a budget variant of the HTC One S but is said to be a "ultra slim" device.

The spec list shows us he device will sport a 4.3-inch AMOLED qHD resolution screen, powered by a 1.2GHz Dual-Core Qualcomm processor with 1GB of RAM running on Android 4.0, the processor is listed as 1.7GHz but it is apparently a typo, right. The device will boast a 8MP rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing camera. The device will house a battery with a capacity of 1,650mAh.

Chances are the looks of the device will most likely take design cues from the HTC One series, but we'll have to wait to see how slim HTC will be going with this device.
