14 DAY TRIAL // Unveiled last week at the Mobile World Congress 2012, HTC One X and its twin brother One XL are reportedly coming to the US.
Although AT&T already confirmed it would exclusively offer the HTC One X in the coming months, it looks like other carriers will bring the smartphone in the country as well.
According to the folks over at Android and Me, citing sources close to the matter, HTC One X will be launched at T-Mobile USA, while the HTC One XL with LTE support will be available from Sprint.
Rumor has it that both smartphones will be officially announced by the carriers at this year’s CTIA, which is set to kick off in May. T-Mobile USA will launch the smartphone as G4x, while Sprint will probably name it after its EVO family of handsets.
This has yet to be confirmed, but Sprint’s HTC One XL might be launched as EVO LTE, EVO HD or EVO 3. Obviously, both smartphones will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board.
However, T-Mobile’s HTC One X will be equipped an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, whereas Sprint’s HTC One XL will be powered by a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon CPU clocked at 1.5GHz.
T-Mobile’s version will support the carrier’s HSPA+ network, while Sprint’s model will be fully compatible with its LTE network. Even though there are no details regarding the exact release dates of the phones, the latest hearsay point to a summer release.
Apart from the included processor and data connectivity technology, there are no differences between the two smartphones.
Both offer HTC Sense 4.0 UI, along with a large 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD2 capacitive touchscreen display (720 x 1280 pixels resolution), which features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.
There’s also an 8-megapixel camera on the back, which features autofocus, LED flash, full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
