Nothing awe inspiring in the looks department, though still nice - just nothing fantastic, edge to edge screen would have been nice
Pretty annoying only the One X has NFC, maybe some people want NFC with a smaller screen? Roll on Carrier enabled NFC via simcards, and DLNA only on the two upper end phones? pfft. Come on HTC, get it together!!!


One X, New Flagship phone, Quad core-ubernes:

One S, A Sensation replacement, imo nothing more:

One V, a newer Legend looking phone with 3.7" screen:

1.5Ghz to 1GHz mmmmm?

That last one has that annoying step reminds me of the hero I think?
I borrowed one with the step on it and in my pocket it was really uncomfortable!
Any prices yet?

Oh the X looks dirty!

At the moment it's the sensation XL I'm planning for...But if these aren't too expensive in May then I might just have to get one!

Do elaborate on your vast knowledge of new these devices, that only a handful of reviewers in the right circles have had the chance of using so far :huh:

I'd love to hear your expert review :smiley:

I wonder if it'll be easy to put ICS on them? I'd like to be able to update Android as and when I like and not be held to ransom by either the carrier or the hardware manufacturer.

Just my opinion, based on owning HTC's last flagship phone from launch. No expert review to give. :smiley:

I felt that HTC rushed bringing out the Sensation, can't help thinking that they might have made the same mistake, time will tell i guess.

They come with ICS and HTC help you unlock the phones now and the community will be releasing ROMs too :smiley:

Well I have just found my next new phone :cool:

Likewise, i just hope it's better than my current Sensation which seemed a bit of a let down after my last two other HTC handsets (HD2 & DesireHD)

I wonder what will be out in 8 months time when I get my upgrade...  :drool:

The dual core Cortex A15 chip will be faster.. which is what will likely end up in the next iphone.


Something cool I've heard about this quad core chip is it actually has a fifth, smaller core just for use when the phone is in standby to save a lot of power :)

Taking pics while in video more or playing back a video is a good feature!

It'll be in the next few weeks and you can hold off on your upgrade  :wink:

 :cool:

No MicroSD, but it's got plenty of onboard storage and the battery isn't replaceable (not bad if you have insurance) are the only 'down side' I can see in that review.

stop it, you're making me want one even more  :angry:

The X looks nice, but is it any good?  :undecided:

It's got all the latest tech and a decent enough battery life for a modern smartphone, reviews are mostly very positive, if I were upgrading to a premium handset now it'd be between this and the Nokia Lumia 800 or 900 (due within 3 months or so).

i'm getting the one v when it comes out. there's no point in the better ones imo and they are far too big as a phone!

would have stuck with my desire but the home and menu buttons only work if you slam the phone against something hard first    :laugh:

I've had a play on one of these today.. WOW! So quick and what shocked me was how insanely light it is. Powering it on is very quick too and it does everything in a flash.

We did struggle to find something to do on the phone that actually tests it's hardware capabilities though..

Run a bunch of hardware benchmarks at the same time  :evil:
