HTC has revealed what we’ve long suspected – a ‘refreshed’ version of the One X smartphone. Dubbed the One X+, the smartphone features a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, 64GB of storage and will run with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (of course, with its HTC Sense UI). It will still feature the same 8-megapixel camera, with one-press continuous shooting and a BSI sensor to assist it in low-light conditions; and features Beats […]
HTC has revealed the Desire X, a brand new Android phone that promises to deliver a state-of-the-art camera, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 1GHz processor, Beats Audio support and a 4-inch display, all with an affordable price of $299 prepaid. Yes, you may be wondering, what? Seriously? It sounds weird – given that prepaid phones tend to be cheap and not running on Ice Cream Sandwich, and not certainly with a […]
HTC have just shown a little sneak peak for their Thursday event. In a post to Twitter, Google+ and Facebook, the handset maker revealed the corner of a phone, which appears to be running Windows Phone 8. And don’t be confused, the 19.9 is referring to the date of the event (in the US), not the screen size. Although that wouldn’t be surprising, given the state of the smartphone industry. […]
Being the low-end phone in the HTC’s One series lineup, the HTC One V brings something surprisingly refreshing – it has a screen that is less than 4-inches. Yes, I know. Something you thought would never happen as Android phone screen sizes continue to go up (I mean, the Samsung Galaxy Note has a 5-inch screen!). However, being part of the One series, it does have some expectation to be […]

The phone, running on Ice Cream Sandwich, features the same body and 4.7-inch display as the HTC One X.

After a series of losses, the company announced that they will be producing fewer phones. And this is one of the phones – the HTC One X. Featuring a large 4.7-inch display and a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, the phone is probably the last hope for HTC to compete against rivals Samsung and Motorola. Even better, since it runs Ice Cream Sandwich, does it outpace the Samsung-made Galaxy Nexus? […]
Telstra has announced that it will be bringing out its first 4G phone running Windows Phone, parterning with HTC to bring the TITAN 4G to Australia – beating the Lumia 900 (which has been announced on Optus, but will run on its 3G network as opposed to its upcoming 4G LTE network) as the first WP7 phone for Australia. The HTC TITAN 4G features a 4.7-inch display running on a […]
