Leading up to Mobile World Congress, HTC had the most buzz. They delivered a smartphone worthy of the hype with their One X flagship announcement. Initially the device will be exclusive to AT&T in the United States, but this is HTC’s premier smartphone. We know they want it on as many carriers as possible. This week we did some digging around, and now we have the first details on other versions headed to the United States. Read on for the full rumor report.
The RumorThe HTC One X smartphone will launch on Sprint and T-Mobile this summer. Like AT&T’s variant, Sprint’s version will also use the dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor with integrated LTE. T-Mobile will go with the quad-core Tegra 3 processor that supports HSPA+, similar to the global version of the device.
We don’t know the final name of the Sprint version, but it is believed to be a part of the EVO family. Rumored names include the EVO LTE, EVO HD and EVO 3. T-Mobile will call their version the G4x and it will offer stock Android 4.0 like their other G-series devices.
Both devices should be announced at CTIA in May.
The SourcesEvan Blass of Pocket Now is the source of the Sprint rumor. If you are not familiar with Evan, he started blogging with Engadget back in 2005 and has become the number one insider for HTC leaks. Check out previous Evan Blass stories for a history of his predictions.
The T-Mobile rumor comes from a number of trusted sources who wish to remain anonymous.
One Android Insider’s take on the rumorI’m sure someone will write this is a no-shit kind of story or is obvious speculation, but we find it fun to report on the latest rumors and discuss if they are really true or not.
When it comes to the Sprint version, I will believe anything that Evan Blass reports. I don’t know where he gets his HTC information, but it is almost always spot on. He recently discovered a device codenamed HTC Jewel, and it sports all the characteristics of the HTC One X.
Sprint’s EVO brand is their premier smartphone, and they have a history of releasing a new model each summer. We already know that Sprint will launch their first LTE markets around the middle of 2012, so it makes sense that they would go with the HTC One X that features the dual-core Snapdragon S4 with integrated LTE modem.
As for the T-Mobile version, this is where the rumors get interesting. While AT&T and Sprint will offer the version with dual-core Snapdragon, T-Mobile will go with the quad-core Tegra 3 version that supports their 4G HSPA+ network.
Once again, Evan Blass was one of the first to report that he had seen the name “T-Mobile G4X” floating around. I reached out to a reliable T-Mobile source who confirmed that their G-series of devices will “always” live on.
At first we assumed this T-Mobile G4X device might be LG’s Optimus 4X HD, since the Optimus 2X became the T-Mobile G2x. However, no one from LG has even hinted at their quad-core smartphone coming to T-Mobile, and last year’s device had all sorts of problems. On top of that, I had a third unnamed source who told me the quad-core HTC One X was surely coming to T-Mobile.
If this rumor turns out to be true, and I wouldn’t be writing about it if I didn’t believe in it, then T-Mobile could have the most compelling version of the HTC One X in the United States.
For starters, the inclusion of stock Android 4.0 would be a major selling point for the Android enthusiast crowd. HTC’s Sense 4.0 UI offers some cool features, but it’s beginning to turn stale and many hardcore users prefer the Holo UI of stock Android 4.0.
The addition of the quad-core Tegra 3 is another attractive feature. A couple days ago there were all kinds of headlines like “Snapdragon S4 slaughters Tegra 3″, but the latest benchmarks of the HTC One series reveal that the Tegra 3 version is actually faster in browser and gaming performance.
Anand Shimpi of Anandtech went back and updated his benchmarks of the HTC One, which now show Tegra 3 leads in a number of synthetic tests. The Snapdragon S4 version was faster in a GLBenchmark test, but Anand notes it was run at each device’s native screen resolution. The HTC One X pushes 77% more pixels than the One S with Snapdragon S4, and it still remains competitive. Clearly Tegra 3 is on par with Snapdragon S4 in processing power, and it takes the lead in graphics performance.
NVIDIA also claims that the Tegra 3 version will offer greater battery life than the Snapdragon S4 version. We will not know if that is true until we spend some time with the devices, but Tegra 3 tablets have offered industry leading battery life. (Short story: I watched 3 full length movies on my Transformer Prime + dock while flying to Barcelona and my battery level was around 70% when I landed.)
Wrapping things up, it looks like Sprint and T-Mobile customers once again have an exciting device to save up for. Both the dual-core and quad-core models will offer amazing experiences, but I’d personally like to get my hands on the T-Mobile variant with stock Android 4.0.
We have a ton of Samsung fans around here, so I’m really curious what you guys think. How many people would consider a switch back to HTC for their next smartphone purchase?

ReplyGreat comment and great points. An htc phone with quad core and stock android 4.0? My goodness it can’t get better than that…. wait yes it can, beats audio, wireless video transfer to a tv, and hspa+ 40 and above in some areas. This is great.

on that note, imagine a slightly modded up One X as the next Nexus? (Yes im a HTC Stan)

2taz88ny 02/28/12 9:35 PM Thumb upThumb down +1I’m very disappointed that the LTE version of the HTC One will be dual core. I’ll save my money for a quad core Galaxy S III.
ReplyDamnit so should i get the HTC One S in the Spring or wait til the Summer for the HTC One X known as the G4X so i can get a Quad-Core device which i don’t really care if it dual or quad cored im kinda stuck between HTC Sense or Stock Android….
Mhmm…. not sure what todo i have my sensation and annoyed with it because of the lag the screen size and the random sense reboots plus actual phone reboots sometimes
But i’ve used a custom rom for stock android and it was nice but i like custom UI’s better then stock..
choices some one help…
Reply
2pokemontrainer4life 02/28/12 9:51 PM Thumb upThumb down +2Well if you really like Sense that much (I have no clue why though) then you might want to go with the S.
But with the X, you’d be getting a (supposedly) better CPU (along with Tegra Zone goodies), higher res screen, bigger battery, and stock ICS.
And if you’re into custom ROMs, I’m sure the G4x will have a much better dev community.
Reply Noor MahmoudGuest 02/28/12 10:51 PM Thumb upThumb down +4Idk, according to the benchmarks out, the dual-cored S4 is more powerful than the Tegra 3. Other than that, I have no concern with the One X being mostly better, but I am worried that there won’t be any news on the rumor when the One S is released.
Reply ObsceneJessterGuest 02/28/12 11:08 PM Thumb upThumb down +3The Tegra 3 is faster where it counts. Web Browsing and Gaming.
ReplyI really don’t care for tegra zone and custom roms im not in to them I know im a heavy user so that should say to go for the One X but with everything sense has to offer with sense 4 its making me want to choose the One S
swazedahustlaGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +4No its basically the same in real world experiance. Faster would actually mean looking at it and telling a difference which isn’t the case. Wake up and leave these benchmarks alone.
2pokemontrainer4life 02/28/12 9:39 PM Thumb upThumb down +9I think I just had the biggest nerdgasm.
Contract is up in June, so if this is true about the G4x, then I’m about to have one hell of a phone. Definitely a worthy upgrade from the G2. HTC G-series for life!
I was really fearing that the Optimus would be the G4x, since I don’t trust LG, plus it’s just damn ugly, especially after how nice the 2X was.
Although to be honest, I don’t know how much I believe T-Mo getting both the One S AND X. Let’s hope it’s true.
And to think I was about to import the GNex soon.
UMA FanGuest 02/28/12 11:23 PM Thumb upThumb down 0Looking back historically, one thing that makes me believe it is that when HTC announced the Desire Z and Desire HD, T-Mobile got versions of both (G2, myTouch 4G) when the other US carriers got versions of one or the other.
Reply 2pokemontrainer4life 02/29/12 12:19 AM Thumb upThumb down -1Umm, the MT4G is completely different from the DHD. Don’t know where you made that connection.
Reply Deon DavisGuest 02/29/12 12:33 AM Thumb upThumb down 0Um no you wrong! The mytouch4g is a DHD with a smaller screen and a front facing cam
Reply 2pokemontrainer4life 02/29/12 3:18 AM Thumb upThumb down +1Which makes it a different phone…
The DHD is an Evo with an aluminum body.

Reply swazedahustlaGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +1Dude, you should really research things before you post. This dual core S4 outperforms the Tegra3. This chip set is nothing like any dual core currently on sprint or any other carrier right now. Go watch the demo on youtube or something. This phone kills all current phones out.

Reply 2pokemontrainer4life 02/28/12 11:19 PM Thumb upThumb down +9If you’d do any research or even read this very article, you’d know the S4 is actually very comparable to Tegra 3. They didn’t downgrade anything at all.
Reply
85inviolable 02/28/12 11:56 PM Thumb upThumb down +5Severe downgrade? The 2 chips are almost neck and neck, and that’s actually saying a lot for the S4 which is “only” dual core.
Reply 78Galen20K 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +2very true, honestly at this point in time I’d be happy with either the S4 or the Tegra 3. They are very comparable in capacity, nearly exact in benchmarks.
ReplyAny amount of money…the main reason the cores were sacrificed the way they are is beforehand the phone was already designed so the 4g radio technically replaced 2 cores…so u could always opt for the international version if u dont care about 4g n crap n just cough up the extras for the international One.

I’ve been holding on to my G2 for far too long because I was waiting for an HTC phone with stock Android for TMO. I was going to give up and settle for the one S because I can’t deal with this phone anymore, but I guess I’ll have to wait until summer for the one X.
Ahh, and I was just warming up to Sense. Oh well! Definitely buying. Gonna be pricey but I signed up for Best Buy’s $50 giftcard offer, should help offset the cost a little bit.
Reply JohnGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0I loved my G2, and it was awesome it was stock Android. Of course I ran a bunch of custom ROM’s on it before I settled on CM7, still stock’ish. I loved the overclocking ability and the general use of the phone, but the hinge design was a bit annoying, kind of opened too easily, especially with the added weight of a case, but other than that it was a great phone. I sold it when my job gave me a AT&T Galaxy S II and I put the money into a MyTouch 4G Slide, which I believed to be a good successor to the G2, I mean it has a keyboard, it’s dual core, has a D-Pad, has better resistance to opening, etc. but the dev community is kind of weak, a few ROM’s here and there but nothing like the dev community for the G2 or my SGS2. Sad, but the wife doesn’t notice that or care, she loves her MyTouch 4G Slide. If I can convince her to go keyboardless, I may sell it and get her a One X, she’ll be one lucky gal. I think my work will (hopefully) upgrade my SGS2 when the SGS3 is released.

So the new S4 chips for the HTC One X & Asus PadPhone won’t be TMobile US HSPA+ compatible ??? Are any of the S4 chips suppose to include TMobile’s HSPA+ bands???
Are only S3 (21Mbps HSPA+) & Tegra 3 (42Mbps HSPA+) is TMobile US HSPA+ compatible ???
So that completely negates any chance of a Asus PadPhone coming to TMobile unless they’re is a old S3 chip version or a Tegra 3 versions ???

MarkGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +2Buy a cheap G2X on Craigslist for about $180, it’s dual core. It has software issues so put a custom ROM like CM7 on it, then it’ll be great. Pickup a Family Mobile SIM chip from WalMart for about $25 and then for $45/mo you’ll have unlimited talk/text/web. This will easily hold you over for several months until the One X comes out, then sell your G2X for $150 on craigslist, and put that toward the One X with a 2 year agreement on T-mobile.

ReplyDepends on if it has a micro sd slot. Also stock android 4.0 sounds nice.
Reply MarkGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +1The T-Mobile G1 had Stock Android, so did the G2 :-) The G2 was awesome with stock Android, none of that Sense junk. Wife’s MyTouch 4G Slide has Sense UI on it and while it “looks” nice, it’s like 20 APK’s, it’s a resource hog.
Reply copaGuest 02/29/12 6:17 AM Thumb upThumb down 0So hypothetically if I want the One X with stock ICS I would have to order it from the US?
I live in Germany and from all I know, all of the ONE devices will have HTC Sense on them. I do not own an Android phone yet so I am unfamiliar with the possibilities in terms of choosing an OS. Would it be possible to “jailbreak” the phone to get stock ICS running?
20benben 02/29/12 7:03 AM Thumb upThumb down +1It is possible to root Android phones, giving you a lot more freedom than what jailbreaking an iPhone does.
Europe and US use different bands for data traffic, though, so you will not be able to use 3G on a US version. Rooting a phone doesn’t make it possible to change that.
that is awesome for tmo if it is true… wonder how stock th UI will be.. Tmo will stick something in there

3joecyclone 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0Battery life is important, so that understanding will play large into any decision to switch. However, the less models strategy from HTC should mean keeping them more up to date with the latest version without having to ROM. Sammy is just throwing too many models out there with different hardware configurations. I just don’t see how they can provide full support to all of those models.
If HTC can provide a good performance to battery life balance, and provide good version support, they can definitely get some market share back from Samsung.
Reply Paul AtreidesGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +3If Sprint adds this to the EVO family, they should bring back the kickstand and offer it in the same blue as the EVO Shift or shiny black with the brushed metal accents for the camera and kickstand. Jealous if T-mobile’s getting stock ICS, but I’m almost positive in it’s present form this isn’t my next device. I’m not ready for an HTC device with a battery I can’t extend or replace.

Reply Mike CGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0I really wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but now it seems that Samsung will not be releasing 32Gb versions in Europe.
So now the plan is to get the HTC One X and live with Sense the crap. But after this new I wonder: The T-Mobil One X will be the same hardware as the euro One X. Then I might possibly be able to put the T-Mobile stock image on my euro HTC One X and get stock ICS … that would be so cool!

7mdawg924 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down -1No offense HTC but as far as the name I’m all Evo’ed out.. I mean I’m typing this on my evo 4th right now but everything past the evo sidekick just felt like it took away from my phone. How about the One X? Now there’s a cool name can’t we, on sprint, have it too? Anyone else feeling me here or am I out in left field?
Reply MarkGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0Evo OneX or Evo 1X
Reply Paul AtreidesGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0Using the EVO name would be a good idea. It’s definitely recognizable. That being said, EVO HD/XL would suffice.

15cvette83 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +5This just made my day! As a T-Mobile customer who was contemplating leaving, it gives me something to look forward to. Hopefully, this rumor gets confirmed as we get closer to summer. Yippee!
Reply MarkGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down -1I left T-Mobile but for Simple Mobile (Same Network, Same Phone, $40/mo unlimited talk/text/web) but recently switched to Family Mobile (Same Network, Same Phone, $45/mo unlimited talk/text/web) because the internet was much faster on Family Mobile, comparable to what I had on T-mobile.
Reply takiefanGuest 2 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0There is no difference between Family Mobile and T-mobile except who you pay your bill to. and of course, how much you pay.
Family mobile operates on the tmobile network. So does Simple but they throttle users to 3G speeds whereas Family mobile does not.

12Johnathan Prochaska 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down +1Glad to see T-Mobile stepping it up with both their LTE network and their upcoming lineup of phones.
Replytmobile is looking good after that att bid failed. With them working on their lte and now getting the quad core hspa+ phone its great to be on tmobile. I just hope that sprint steps up the lte expansion since it looks like my next phone will be this one. Only thing that may make me stop is waiting to see if any new phones coming out will have the same battery life as the moto razr. that is one thing that I am jealous about. People being able to use their lte phone all day without swapping a battery or charging the phone.

I was bit disappointed when I heard that they are getting one S over one X but now I’m see a good light now, hopefully this rumor is true!
Replyi will stay with my Gnex and hope the next variation of Googles Nexus supports Tmobile LTE & Hspa+, with Jellybean in toe.
Reply MarkGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down 0lol, awesome. The T-Mobile version will be closer to the International version, a complete opposite of the Galaxy S II situation where the AT&T Version is closest to the international version and T-Mobile’s is a crazy offshoot with a different CPU and such.
Reply rfgeneratorGuest 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down -2Non-removable battery… end of discussion.
Reply 71Vance 21 hours ago Thumb upThumb down -1I’m tired of the “non-removable” battery argument. Why don’t we hold off criticism until we see what kind of performance the combination of the stock battery and T3 Quadcore processor can provide?! For crying out loud we’re living in the most rapidly advancing technical age the World has ever seen; so just because the phone in your pocket can’t keep a charge past 6pm, doesn’t mean this phone will have nearly the same issue. In my ideal world, not having the option swapping in a spare battery is not the problem, NEEDING to swap in a spare battery is the problem.
Reply Paul AtreidesGuest 11 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0Either way it’s a problem that hasn’t been solved. This may not be a major concern for you, but for many others it definitely is. HTC has a track record of bad battery life, I don’t put blind faith in companies. When it’s proved that this is the way to go, the critcism will die down. People are tired of living by chargers, and lugging extra accessories around. If you love the phone that’s good for you, but don’t let someone else’s personal opinion steal your thunder.
Reply 71Vance 6 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0:) it hasn’t stolen any of my thunder. I’ve owned the Nexus One, and the HTC Desire; I’m intimately aware of the historical battery life issues and have a half dozen spares as well as an entire pocket in my bag dedicated to different chargers. I guess my point is, I’m tired of needing spare batteries and constant access to a “plug”. My hope/thought/prayer is that the more efficient processor on the One X eliminates the need for a spare battery altogether. Regardless, it’s a new device, it’s new technology, it’s not to market yet, so what’s the point of throwing a fit about a feature that we don’t yet know to be a problem? A feature that may actually be a solution to an age-old problem? It’s just my humble opinion.
Reply Paul AtreidesGuest 5 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0You’re right, makes no sense to get worked up about it. If it does have a nice battery life, I would definitely give it a second look. I also hope we are at the turning point with this sucky battery life situation.
Im willing to give up my 3D for that One X or S…and if its true for it to the successor to the EVO line-up then im all game for it.

I’m really glad T-Mobile is taking away the G#x title away from LG. My HTC G2 was a great little device and the LG G2x a smoldering piece of crap. If the G4x is going to be the HTC One X I’ll pick it up in a heartbeat.
Reply 6MrDSL 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down -3What am I missing thats so special about this phone?
Doesn’t it only have like 1 gig RAM and a measly 1800 non-removable battery?
Reply 71Vance 6 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0You ask what’s so special about the phone, then listed two features which you deem not “special”. So in answer to your question, about what is special:
The first quad core stock Android ICS phone to market = special
Top-of-the-line 8-megapixel camera with 2.0 f-stop, burst mode and ImageSense technology = special
4.7 in Super LCD Gorilla Glass Screen with 720P playback = special
Tegra 3 Quad-Core processor = special
I bet there are a ton of renewals in April that are just salivating at the news of the One X coming to Sprint

82ihatefanboys 1 day ago Thumb upThumb down -1I think HTC should give T-Mo a variant of the ONEx with a hardware keyboard and call it the G3, not some lame name like “G4X”….if it is the next in the G series it should follow the G2 as it followed the G1. I’ve hated names like “G2X” because its not correct, plus the device with that title sucked, something the “G” series does not.

Reply demize!Guest 17 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0Its about time. I hope this is true because my upgrade coincides exactly with this. It has what I want. 4.7″ quad. Great cams HTC build quality and style, I like white phones, pretty much everything. My Samsung Galaxy is getting stale and not real happy with the design, though it will take a drop. I didnt see batt stats, hopefully the cpu. is more power economical too.
Reply Windy City WolfGuest 16 hours ago Thumb upThumb down +2You know….. this is horsesh*t. I just popped over to the T-Mobile UK site. They are getting the One S, One X (quad), and even have the iPhone 4 (which who really cares about anyway). This just really pisses me off with T-mobile USA. To even give me more of a “red ass’ over this entire thing, is they are offering what they call “The Full Monty” Data Plan. TRULY UNLIMITED DATA WITH NO THROTTLING!!!!! I’m sorry but W T F is going on here? Are we not part of the same company? Is AMERICA not good enough to AT THE VERY LEAST get the same data options??? When I got my HD2 I had true unlimited data. Then they changed my plan, without my knowledge to throttle after 5g. But I got over that… now I see T-mobile UK has the One X quad core, the One S, iPhone 4 and truly limitless data? It actually says you can use your phone to share YOUR UNLIMITED data to your pc or laptop without restriction or charges.
I want to know what idiotic slob they hired to handle the US customers and service? I can see things may be a little different across the big pond, but this, in my opinion, is a huge slap in our face.
Reply Windy City WolfGuest 14 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0I guess what pisses me off most… is T-mobile in the US is struggling. They bring top products to the UK like One S, One X, iPhone 4, iPad 2, the new Sony…. Yet we are forgotten. Now the benchmarks one the One S are outstanding. So its not a “crap” phone. I understand this. But why would I spend hundreds of my hard earned cash, plus my two year wait for an upgrade, for a second best phone? US Tmo users have been begging for Apple’s brand of overpriced toys, we haven’t seen anything, yet T-mobile UK is handing them out free. It is beyond obvious that we wanted the One X quad. Again, they get their hands on it in April. The Tegra will run perfectly on our current network. We are getting throttled for every bit of data we go over on, yet UK T-mobile users have a Full Monty data plan that you can stream your data to anything you wish. It says “its your data, use it how you wish” At NO extra charge, restrictions, or data throttling.
I am tickled the UK has got top notch service and products. I’m happy and wish them the greatest mobile experience.
I am pissed at T-MOBILE USA. Why can’t I, as one of their customers expect the same great things on my end? Why am I not able to have unlimited data. (truly unlimited ). Why can’t I tether to my desktop without getting warning texts telling me I will be throttled for sharing data to my computer. I paid for it didn’t I? Why is the best phones available to me, when the same company sells them overseas?
It’s not like they lost the bid for the device, they have it. They are selling in the UK. They didn’t crap out and let AT&T take the glory. They have it available in the UK in April .
And why the hell would I want a phone that has no SD card expansion and only 16g (actually 12g because of OS space). At least the One X has 32g (29g actually)… I could have lived with that plus the amazing screen it has.
The way I see it, if the One S is all we are getting. I will either get the HTC Amaze that HAS an SD slot, or hold out for the Galaxy S3.

0ibbarkingmad 8 hours ago Thumb upThumb down -1What I am wondering is what happened to all the phones with sliding qwerty keyboards. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the specs and stuff, but I’m very interested in form and function. I find Android’s strength is in its diversity in form factors. Crapberry, iP0ne and WP7 all lack in these areas.
Reply demize!Guest 4 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0What no sd slot? Why, this is a stupid trend. Should be hot swappable imo. Did I hear that the batt is non removable? If so another silly trend. If Im on a flight etc.I can carry extra charged batts. Until they improve batt tech or include a thin 5000 mah I dont wanna be sool walking around looking for outlets.
