Hasta La Gadget!

It was just one week ago when rumors concerning the HTC One VX on AT&T started to fly around, touting that it would appear on AT&T’s network on December 7th onward. Well, I guess it did not take too long to wait to determine whether those rumors have turned out to be true or not, but apparently, they were true. In other words, if you have been on the lookout for a HTC One VX, you can now pick one up from AT&T Stateside.

The HTC One VX would target the mid-range spot in HTC’s One-series lineup, where it will not come with the kind of equipment that the HTC One S has, not all of it though. Still, the One VX retains its qHD resolution which can be found in the HTC One S, having made the move to a 4.5-inch display. Your eyes might complain about the image quality though, considering how HTC has made the switch from an AMOLED to a Super LCD component. The AT&T HTC One VX will cost $50 with a 2-year contract, where it will be accompanied by a dual-core 1.2GHz SoC, 8GB of flash memory, and a 5-megapixel shooter at the back. [Product Page]

As it turns out today is a good day to be an HTC fan — the Taiwanese company announced earlier this morning that the revamped HTC One X+ was in fact a real thing, and now AT&T has just confirmed that it will carry that new flagship device later this year.

Interestingly, the One X+ won’t be alone either, as AT&T has also announced that it will sell the lower-end HTC One VX alongside it when they both launch in the “coming months.”

I won’t spend too much time rehashing the One X+ — aside from its 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 64GB of internal storage, the Jelly Bean-powered phone is largely the same device that AT&T already launched earlier this year. What’s arguably more notable here is the addition of a previously-unknown One series handset to AT&T’s roster.

THe One VX features a 4.5-inch display running at 960×540 (coated in Gorilla Glass, naturally), as well as a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera, NFC, and 8GB of internal storage. The spec sheet may not be a world-changer, but it’s got a solid chance at selling well if AT&T prices it accordingly. That said, the One VX has two distinct disadvantages when compared to the recently-refreshed One X+ — it doesn’t run the same up-to-date version of Android that its bigger brother does (though Ice Cream Sandwich still has plenty of life left in it), and at 9.19mm it’s a thicker device to boot.

Of course, that didn’t stop HTC from touting it as one of the “slimmest unibody form factors” in the industry — you’ve just got to love that spin.

There’s no official word on pricing yet, but The Verge has learned that AT&T will continue to sell the original One X at a lower price point rather that discontinue it entirely. Naturally, the two new models will slot in above and below that price point (currently $99), but we’ll likely have to wait a bit before the official price tags are released.

Oh, and one bit of parting bad news for T-Mobile customers — AT&T refers to the One X+ as an exclusive in its release, so the dream of a fully fleshed-out HTC One family riding on T-Mo’s airwaves may remain just that.
