HTC unveiled its new series of One smartphones at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday. All of the models will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich skinned with HTC Sense 4, a new version of the company's UX overlay, but only one model will come with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor.
The HTC One X is the high-end model, with a 4.7-inch 720p resolution screen and a quad-core 1.5GHz Tegra 3 processor. At least, that's the processor if you don't get the 4G LTE version; HTC says that the One X will be available in certain 4G LTE markets with an "LTE-enabled" Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, which has two 1.5GHz cores instead of four.
The HTC One S is restricted to the same 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, but comes in what HTC calls a "more compact size." With a 4.3-inch screen, the One S is not petite, but it is thin at 7.9 millimeters, a millimeter thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. A casing option for the One S will include an "ultra-matte black Ceramic Metal" surface that HTC says is four times harder than anodized aluminum.
The One V is the least exciting model, a budget handset with a 3.7-inch 480x800 screen, a 1GHz processor, and only 4GB of storage. The One V also has the oddest body, with a curved, jutting bottom end hearkening back to the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1, the first Android phone) and the HTC Legend.
All of the phones will be able to take photos in 0.7 seconds, have a 0.2-second autofocus, and offer Beats-certified audio. HTC has also cut a special deal with Dropbox for the One series, giving owners 25GB of Dropbox space to use for free for two years.
The One X will definitely launch in Europe and in the US on AT&T, while the One S is set to debut on T-Mobile in the coming months. The One V is set to launch in the second quarter of this year, but has no confirmed regions or carriers.
