Updated on 27-Feb-2012

HTC unveiled its new lineup of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphones at MWC, providing specifications for the One X, One XL, One S and One V, along with an April release date. Suggested pricing details have not been disclosed as yet.

Formerly known as HTC Edge and Endeavor, the new flagship ‘super-phone’ One X is 9.29mm-thick, and packs a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Sense 4.0 and an impressive 4.7-inch (1280×720 pixel) Super LCD 2 Gorilla Glass display. It has an 8MP BSI auto-focus camera with an f/2.0 22mm lens, LED flash, 1080p HD video recording, and 5fps burst mode, as well as an 1.3MP 720p HD front-facing camera. The One X will come with 32GB of built-in storage but no expansion slot (like the rest of the HTC One family), instead HTC will offer One buyers 2 years of free cloud storage (25GB) from Dropbox.

As for connectivity options, HTC One X has NFC, HSDPA 21 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP & EDR, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with DLNA and hotspot functionality, microUSB and TV-out (via MHL), GPS with A-GPS support, and no FM radio functionality. It all runs on a Li-Po 1800 mAh battery. The HTC One XL is identical to the One X, except for LTE connectivity, and, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor instead.

The HTC One S, formerly known as the HTC Ville, will probably qualify as another top-end offering, with its super slim profile (HTC’s slimmest yet – at 7.6mm) ceramic metal body, a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED 960×544 pixel display, a 1.5GHz dual-core S4 Krait processor with an Adreno 225 GPU, Sense 4.0, and the same (as the One X and XL) 1080p HD capable 8MP BSI autofocus camera with f/2.0 lens. Other features include Beats Audio, 16GB of built-in storage with no expansion slot, microUSB and TV-out via MHL, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with DLNA and hotspot functionality, no FM radio, and a 1,650 mAh battery.

At the bottom of the pack, the 9.2mm-thick HTC One V (formerly known as One E) bears a 3.7-inch 800×480 pixel display, a 1GHz single-core Snapdragon S2 CPU, 512MB of RAM, Sense 3.6 UI, 4GB of built-in storage, and a rear 720p HD 5MP autofocus camera with an f/2.0 lens, without a front-facing counter-part. Other specs include a microUSB, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot functionality, no FM radio, and a 1,500mAh battery.
