Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update coming to HTC One X this October?

The HTC One X is still running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich just in case you were wondering, although there are unofficial Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROMs released for it. For those who prefer to have everything come from the source so that the risk of crashing your smartphone is minimized, then whispers of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update coming your way sometime in October would definitely carve a smile on your face. No idea on just how trustworthy this particular rumor is considering how majority of the operating system updates from HTC fail to make it on time, but one can always hope and keep their fingers crossed, can’t they?

It is said that the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be accompanied by HTC Sense 4.5. In all probability that this particular rumor pans out to be true, it will most likely arrive for the international version first, before making its way across to LTE carriers including AT&T. What do you think, will the HTC One X be sweetened with Jelly Bean next month?

HTC One X+ for T-Mobile delayed [Rumor]

So come 19th September, HTC could be unveiling several new devices, one of which could be the HTC One X+, where the rumors are saying it’s basically an improved version of the HTC One X. The closest thing we have to a confirmation would be its FCC appearance, but beyond that we guess we will have to wait for HTC to make the official announcement themselves. However according to the folks at HTC Source, it seems that if you’re a T-Mobile subscriber and are interested in getting your hands on the One X+, you might be in a spot of bad luck.

They have reported that according to their sources, the T-Mobile variant of the One X+ has been delayed although it was not stated why, and how long it would be delayed for. They are also reporting that even though its design will be similar to that of the One X, it will be slightly thicker due to its larger battery which is probably good news for those hoping for longer battery life. Once again we advise you to take this with a grain of salt, but check back with us in a couple of days for the official details.

HTC One X+ hits the FCC

Look at what we have here, ladies and gentlemen – the HTC One X+ which has arrived at the FCC, along the way revealing most of its glory underneath the hood. We are looking at a quad-core Tegra 3 processor here alongside the NVIDIA Tegra 3 (PM63100) chipset in tow. Not only that, this particular visit to the FCC did reveal support for AT&T’s LTE bands, translating to a shameless fact that you ought to take note of – it will arrive on AT&T’s shelves, and hopefully soon, too, as that is more often than not the path that most devices take after being sent to the FCC for inspection.

We are looking at the very real possibility of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean shipping with the HTC One X+ right out of the box, although having a 1800mAh battery might seem to make it rather underpowered compared to its peers, in addition to having just 1GB RAM (while this is the norm, the Galaxy S3 in the US carries double that amount). Still, will you be picking up HTC’s newest flagship when it finally arrives?

HTC One X+ with Tegra 3 makes appearance at FCC, boasts AT&T LTE

HTC One X makes appearance at FCC

In contrast to the Sony Xperia T, HTC’s latest device just hit the FCC without offering many details — but fortunately we have a pretty good idea of what it is anyway. Identified as the PM63100, we’ve seen this particular model show up on benchmark results as the HTC One X+, a rumored revision of the current flagship. As you may recall, the benchmark claims that the One X+ features a Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz. Happily, the FCC-approved phone also throws in LTE connectivity (sporting AT&T-friendly bands 4 and 17 in addition to 2 and 5), fulfilling NVIDIA’s self-made prophecy that we would see Tegra 3 devices with the next-gen tech by the end of 2012. Sadly, the federal docs don’t show us much more than what you see above, but it’s an indication that we may not have to wait too much longer to learn more.

How the iPhone 5 Stacks Up to the Competition [Iphone 5]

The new iPhone is finally here. Yes, people would line up to buy it even if it was made of bottle-caps and dog-poo, but it isn’t. It’s predictably a very good phone. How good? Let’s see how it compares to the top competition. More »

HTC is giving you a chance to win the One X Cushnie et Ochs handset

The other day we reported that HTC had created a special edition of the HTC One X with fashion design team, Cushnie et Ochs. We believed that the handset was only available to those who attended Fashion Week, but you’re in luck as apparently HTC is looking to give away one of the phones. The contest is relatively simple and the winner will be randomly selected. All you’d have to do is follow HTC on Pinterest and repin your favorite HTC One Cushnie et Ochs photo, leave your link on HTC’s page and you’re all set. Like we said earlier, the winner will be randomly selected, and since this probably takes a couple of minutes at most, who knows, you could be walking away with a pretty unique looking device! The winner will be announced on the 17th of September so you’ve got a little less than a week to do it, so for more details head on over to HTC’s blog in the source link below!

HTC One X Cushnie et Ochs available on eBay, mobileminded fashionistas ready their wallets

Remember that special edition One X for AT&T with the Cushnie et Ochs-approved exterior, and how HTC said it would never go on sale? Well, while HTC is sticking to its word, one of the 150 souls who grabbed one at MADE Fashion Week has decided to give the rest of us a crack at buying it via eBay auction. For folks interested in owning the half ebony, half ivory handset, the bidding currently starts at $360 — though you can expect the phone to fetch a far greater price when the auction ends six days from now on September 17th.

Update: Looks like you’ve missed your chance, as the eBay auction has now been ended. We’re not sure whether the seller got an offer they couldn’t refuse, or a strongly worded letter from HTC. Either way, show’s over.

[Thanks Dominic]

HTC One X+ specs “confirmed”

HTC logoIt wasn’t too long ago that an alleged photo of the upcoming HTC One X+/Endeavor C2 was spotted, and thanks to an XDA developer @Football4PDA, the alleged specs of the device has been revealed and “confirmed” as well. While this might be simply a tweet, @Football4PDA has leaked some stuff in the past that turned out to be true, so perhaps there is some measure of credibility there, although as usual we advise you to take it with a grain of salt until the device has been officially revealed. In any case, the tweet basically confirms the rumors from before, such as how the phone will be powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 3+ AP37 1.6GHz quad-core / 1.7GHz single-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It will run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and will sport Sense 4.5 on top of it. There is a good chance that the HTC One X+/Endeavor C2 could be revealed on the 19th of September, so be sure to check back with us then for confirmation.

HTC One X Cushnie Et Ochs edition looks pretty unique

Limited edition handsets are usually designed in pretty unique ways to help stand out from the regular version, and as pictured above, this particular limited edition HTC One X is certainly unique. Unfortunately you will not be able to find these in the stores as the handset will only be given to a select handful of people as part of Fashion Week. The innards of this One X will remain the same as its regular edition sibling, but the main (and probably only) difference is its body which sports a two-toned look which was designed in collaboration with Cushnie Et Ochs. It looks pretty good but we guess a similar look can be achieved via third-party case manufacturers, although if this is the model you’re after, perhaps you can keep an eye out on websites such as Craigslist or eBay and see if you have any luck there.
