The company made the announcements at a press event on the eve of the opening of the giant trade show. The star of the HTC line, the One X, is the company’s first quad-core phone. Prior to CES in January, rumors had suggested that HTC would be one of the first manufacturers to ship a phone with Nvidia’s new Tegra 3 processor. The HTC One X seems like it will be worth the wait. Here’s a look at it:
HTC One X Specs
Overall, HTC One is a new design strategy that the company will launch this year. All HTC One phones will have three things in common: HTC ImageSense with the HTC ImageChip, Beats audio software, and a premium hardware design. All three phones will ship with the Ice Cream Sandwich OS (Android 4.0), and will run HTC’s Sense UI 4.0.
Owners of a One will have access to 25GB of Dropbox storage, which is free for two years (the length of the carrier contract). Dropbox is integrated throughout the phone’s user interface in apps such as the photo gallery; for instance, you can snap a photo and then upload it directly to Dropbox.
Other Phones in the One Line
The HTC One V is the least-expensive smartphone of the group, but it still offers Beats audio, an aluminum unibody design, and HTC’s imaging software for the camera. The One V carries a Qualcomm S2 single-core 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory. The 3.7-inch WVGA display is an LCD panel, and the phone has a 5-megapixel camera. Unlike the other two phones, however, the One V does not have a front-facing camera.

Accessories for the One Phones
HTC also announced two new accessories, HTC MediaLink and HTC Car Experience. The MediaLink lets you mirror content from your phone to your HDTV wirelessly, while the Car Experience is a dock that turns your phone into a navigation device.
