HTC today announced the HTC One X+ which boasts a quad core Tegra 3 processor, Android 4.1 and other features.
The One X+ is a minor refresh of the original One X that also featured a NVIDIA Tegra 3 at 1.5 GHz. The new Plus model features a faster 1.7GHz Tegra 3 CPU, a larger 2,100mAh battery, expanded 64GB of storage and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4+ onboard.
With the faster processor and improved camera and lens, it can fire off 4 shots per second and can shoot HD video and capture photos simultaneously.
The 4.7-inch device has an 8-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 lens and ImageChip-assist. Also debuting alongside this hardware update is HTC Get Started, a web-based service that lets users manage initial setup from the desktop for one-click installation on the phone itself.
HTC hopes to take on its chief rival, Samsung’s Galaxy S III.
The One X+ is slated to launch globally this fall, hitting Europe and Northern Asia this October, with a November rollout in South Asia to follow. AT&T and HTC announced that three new HTC devices will be coming in the next couple of months, including the One X+, a mid-level HTC One VX and in November the HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 device.
