HTC One X. Is it the new EVO?

legion125 · 02-28-2012, 03:45 PM

Here's a rumor that the HTC One X aka "Jewell" for Sprint will be the next flagship phone to replace the EVO 3D. Let's hope this comes out far enough ahead to get the quad-core processor.

Sprint to pick up HTC One X as the EVO HD LTE?

If rumors are to be believed, HTC's next flagship device for Sprint is code-named the HTC Jewel and will be a CDMA/LTE variant of the HTC One X. HTC and Sprint have gone on the record about the EVO name spanning many devices, and so far we have had the EVO 4G, the EVO Shift 4G, EVO 3D, EVO View 4G and the EVO Design 4G. As the flagship EVO 3D nears its first birthday we would expect to see another flagship EVO launched, and with HTC simplifying their product line the One X would be a viable candidate.

The HTC EVO HD LTE has been thrown out as a name for the rumored device, but since we don't know that it even exists that is subject to change. What we can reasonably assume is that- like AT&T's HTC One XL- this new EVO would be powered by a Qualcomm S4 processor instead of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 found on the international One X. The EVO 4G and EVO 3D both launched in June of their respective years so we can assume that we'd see an early summer launch for this next EVO flagship device. Unfortunately that puts it just outside of the "second half 2012" ship dates for the Qualcomm S4 Pro and it's Adreno 320 GPU, but one can hope.

When pictures of the HTC One X surfaced with that red camera ring we couldn't help but think EVO, and given HTC and Sprint's healthy relationship we expect to see a very high end EVO this summer, whether it be a One X variant or not. We'll keep our ears to the ground on this rumor, but we wouldn't be surprised to hear something one way or the other at CTIA in May.

I think i liked the s better.

After all the touch panel issues I've seen with the Shift and the 3D, they can shove it up their ass.

IMHO Samsung has really stepped up their game in the quality department, while HTC has done the exact opposite.

I'll be waiting for the GS3.

Sprint will put their own spin on the design, but I would expect One X DNA to be prevalent in the new Evo.

Why must HTC insist on putting a extended camera lens on all their phones? Do they have some kind of fetish of sticking the lens out like a giant erect nipple?

Well, you have you ever seen Japanese anime? Every female has a huge chest and some strong back muscle to carry them.

This could serve very well as the new Evo, unlike the other Evo variants that have come out.

I'm hopeful Sprint and HTC will put together an EVO that decisively 'one ups' the HTC One X. The One X is nice, but EVO needs to be the BEST!

I thought the Evo 3D was better than the Sensation. Sprint does a decent job of making their version unique and sometimes better.

Since both HTC and Samsung have come out and said they are not going to differentiate their models as much, I'll be curious to see how the new EVO will be much different from the One X.

**BZap49** · 03-02-2012, 01:58 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping that they WON'T differentiate and make the next Evo somehow different. We need to cut back in stupid little tiny differences, not increase them. Carriers should be competing on service, not on which one of them can seduce the manufacturers into making the ever so slightly better phone.

**w7excursion** · 03-02-2012, 02:05 PM

I don't agree. Let the iPhone continue to be that way.
