HTC is releasing the successor to its popular One X in October, but an exclusive contract with AT&T won't get it a US launch for another month or two.
We liked HTC's One X a lot when we reviewed it back in May, and while Samsung's Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5 have come along since, the One X is still an impressive phone. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it give it a slew of incremental upgrades.
On the surface, the One X+ is basically identical to the One X. It's got the same frame-shape, the same 720p display, and it's still got a Beats Audio logo.
Its internals are a different story. Or, well, a different version of the same story.
Hardware performance has been improved across the board. The One X+ will come standard with LTE, an upgraded 2100mAh battery, 64GB of storage, a front-facing camera boosted to 1.6 megapixels, and a Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.7GHz.
This will be HTC's first phone to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. (The company has promised to roll out updates for its other recent handsets in the months after the One X+ comes out.) And HTC's Sense UI has been updated commensurately from version 4 to (wait for it) version 4+.
Aside from the performance upgrades, these software updates will be the most noticeable difference from the One X. Sense 4+ introduces a tap-to-pair feature for wirelessly connecting the phone to Beats speakers, and it introduces several camera software enhancements.
Is the One X+ a contender up there with the Galaxy S3, or too little to late? Let us know in the comments.
