The HTC One series of phones have been revealed today at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 at Barcelona. At the press conference HTC also announced HTC Sense 4.

 

Phones in the HTC ONE Series

HTC One X
For those who want power, but in a super sexy form factor. The One X has a beautiful piano gloss edge and a black matte surface. It's this detail that maximizes the precision and beauty of the material. HTC One X is a powerhouse, it's their first phone to pack a quad-core processor and has an amazing 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen. Of course, all this incredible technology is wrapped in beautiful, iconic design.

The One X is a unibody device machined from white polycarbonate that uses Gorilla Glass to protect its 4.7-inch 1280x720 non-pentile Super LCD 2 display. Stunning outside appearances aside, HTC's newest features an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor for the Global edition and a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core for the LTE iteration. Memory specs on the box show 1GB DDR2 and 32GB of built-in storage -- 26GB of which is available to the user -- and an additional 25GB free for two years through DropBox. Connectivity options abound with quad-band GSM and quad-band 42Mbps HSPA+ -- which includes AWS frequencies, huzzah! At the heart of its 8MP f/2.0 camera section is HTC's ImageChip silicon for clearer shots even in low light conditions and the ability to shoot pictures while recording continuous focus 1080p video. Rounding out the new set's photographic prowess is a unique LED flash with support for 5 levels of automatic brightness control and a front facing 1.3 megapixel number that'll sort your 720p HD needs.

HTC One S
is for those who want a powerful high-end smartphone but in a super sexy form factor: a metal unibody and our thinnest phone yet.

The new phone appears to be its middle-weight offering, but it's still with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display and a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 inside set to do the heavy-lifting. Previously known to leak fans as the Ville, HTC's brought Ice Cream Sandwich to the fold, alongside the very latest version of its Sense UI -- 4.0 to match that Android version number. The highlight here appears to be that uniformly thin alloy unibody; in science terms, it's a plasma-heated micro arc oxidation process, giving HTC's typical aluminum frame a smooth ceramic finish and apparently toughening it up in the process. Camera-wise, it's wielding a potent eight megapixel sensor with HTC's very own ImageChip and a f/2.0 autofocus lens that's likely to blow all of its previous camera modules out of the water. HTC has focused on the camera software too -- the One S apparently capable of nabbing shots in under a second and the ability to capture full-size stills during 1080p recording. All this, and it's a mere 7.9mm thick.

HTC One V
brings top-end design to a smartphone with broad appeal, featuring iconic design, amazing camera and authentic sound.

The Ice Cream Sandwich-laden handset, running a Sense 3.6 overlay, hearkens back to the design of the Legend, with a black-ish gray, aluminum unibody, hardware keys (three for back, home and apps) and prominent chin jutting out below its Gorilla Glass-coated, 3.7-inch WVGA LCD display. The company hasn't specified the exact CPU powering the phone, but we do know it's a 1GHz single-core affair buffered by 512MB RAM. Storage-wise, you're looking at a paltry 4GB onboard with plans to augment that capacity via 25GB of Dropbox, as there's no available microSD slot. Beneath its sealed enclosure lies a 1,500mAh battery, quadband GSM and WCDMA radios, in addition to support for GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. Directly benefiting from the manufacturer's recently announced ImageChip, is its 5 megapixel rear shooter, outfitted with an AF f/2.0 lens and capable of recording 720p video. There's no front-facing camera to be found on the unit, although situated as it is on the lower end of the consumer spectrum, that's to be expected. Check after the break for HTC's video preview.

The One X appears to be the high-end model, while the S is for midrange and V is for low-end.

HTC One will launch globally in around April.

HTC camera record and capture at the same time.
The new Sense has both camera and camcorder buttons, so while you're taking videos, all you have to do is tap the shutter button for a still pic. It also works for video playback -- you can take still pics of the video you already recorded.

HTC Sense 4

Sense 4 also lets you share photos and videos on a big screen, thanks to Media Link. It will work with every HDTV, "so you don't have to buy a special TV or be locked into one manufacturer." Just use three fingers and swipe up the screen, and it's on your TV. Swipe down, and it's gone. Another feature of Sense 4 devices: Authentic sound. Where does this awesome sound come from? Why, Beats, of course! No matter what service you use, you can take advantage of Beats now.Games, YouTube, any third-party apps.

HTC One will make it easy to bring mobile power to your car's system. Sense 4 has WiFi sync enabled. After installing Media Manager and plugging your phone in once, then you can sync wirelessly the rest of the time.
