  • The “Senseless” HTC One Google Edition supposedly releasing this Summer

    Recent rumors have been suggesting that HTC, just like Samsung, is working on a Nexus version of their flagship phone. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition was revealed a few weeks back at Google I/O and has been causing much excitement throughout the Android community.

    The HTC One which many hardcore Android fans claim is the best smartphone available on the market right now can give some competition to the aforementioned Galaxy S4.

    The latest rumor of the HTC One Google Edition comes from the recent major restructuring of the Taiwanese smartphone maker which lead to many key employees leaving the company. One of these key employees was HTC’s chief product officer Kouji Kodera who was a huge supporter of HTC Sense which is HTC’s proprietary Android skin.

    Kodera was once quoted that he “very proud of HTC Sense” and that he desired to ship it on every one of their devices. Maybe this new Google Edition lead to him leaving the company.

    Other than this rumored HTC One smartphone, HTC has also been responsible for the first two Nexus devices namely the G1 and Nexus One, they’re also the manufacturers of the first Facebook phone called HTC First which is able to run stock Android along with Facebook’s own Home overlay.

    I personally am a huge fan of stock Android and if HTC’s great hardware present in the HTC One is coupled with Stock Android, things can only get better. Which Android UI do you like? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

  • HTC unveils One X, One S and One V

    HTC’s press event at MWC is finally here and they have kept everyone busy with three new phones in the HTC One Series.

    First off is the Tegra 3 powered HTC One X, previously rumored as the HTC Endeavor. The One X is at the top of the table with its 4.7″ SuperLCD 2 HD screen. It has 1GB of RAM with 32GB of onboard storage, however there is no microSD card slot. HTC has teamed up with DropBox to provide 25GB of storage for two years for the owners of these new devices. The HTC One X runs on Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense 4.0 on top. HTC has put a lot of focus on its camera and has revealed its own sensor called ‘ImageChip’ and the HTC One X comes with an 8MP snapper with 1080p video recording. The front facing camera is also quite capable with 1.3Mp and 720p video. For connectivity there is NFC, Bluetooth 4 and MHL port for USB and HDMI connections. Powering this mighty phone will be an 1800 mAh battery.

    The US version of the One X will be available exclusively on AT&T with LTE. However the processor is replaced by an Snapdragon S4 dual-core chip.

    Next in line is the HTC One S which is dual-core device. The phone is quite slim with 7.8mm waist. The One S sports a 4.3 inch Super AmoLED screen . It also runs on ICS with Sense 4.0 on top of it. Total user storage is decreased to 16GB and like the One X, this also doesn’t have a microSD card slot. The phone will have 1GB of RAM. In the imaging department, this phone sports the same front and back sensors as its bigger brother, 8MP back camera with 1080p video recording and 1.3MP front camera with 720p video. There is no NFC while rest of the connectivity features are there with the One S.The battery underneath One S has 1650 mAh of power. The One S looks quite beautiful with its Aluminum unibody.

    The last of the trio is HTC One V which is the lower end model for the masses. This one sports a single core 1GHz Snapdragon S2 processor with 512 MB of RAM. It has a 3.7″ WVGA LCD. Total user storage is just 4GB however this can be increased as the One V comes with a microSD card slot. Fortunately the HTC One V also runs on ICS with Sense 4.0. It packs a 5MP camera with 720p video recording but there is no front facing camera on this one. The microUSB port is the standard one and not MHL so HDMI is out of the equation. The One V will be powered by 1500 mAh of battery.

    All of these phones come with Beats Audio. As mentioned above HTC have introduced a new camera sensor called ‘ImageChip’. It will produce better low-light photos and takes really quick photos. They have also showcased the dual shutter mode using which we can take still images while recording full HD videos.

    The three phones will be available sometime in April this year.
