HTC ONE X+ GETS SUPERCHARGED TEGRA AND LTE

When it comes to mobile devices, there’s no such thing as being too thin, too powerful or having too much battery life.

The new HTC One X+ takes the HTC One X to the next level, with a larger battery and higher-performance Tegra 3 processor packed into the same 8.9mm thin body. And there’s also a version for LTE fans as well.

It boasts a supercharged version of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, which features the high-performance, 4-PLUS-1 quad-core architecture and unique 5th battery-saver core. On the Android side of the equation, the HTC One X+ will ship with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and debuts HTC’s new Sense 4+ skin. The AT&T HTC One X+ will be the first Tegra 3 LTE smartphone for the US.

So how does the HTC One X+ one-up the competition? It’s all about the internals.

The new Tegra 3 silicon cranks up the dial marked “performance” with a 1.7 GHz CPU and faster graphics. Onboard storage gets bumped up to 64GB and battery capacity increases to 2100 mAh. And both the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera make use of the dedicated HTC ImageChip for crisp, accurate photos.

All this translates into an HTC One X+ that is 67% faster than the HTC One X LTE, while giving up to 50% (6 hours) more talk time. In the hand, you’ll notice faster multitasking, faster webpage load times and a snappier user experience that lasts as long as your workday. But don’t worry, the One X+ will deliver the same great visual experience and console- quality gaming through optimized TegraZone games.

We’ll talk more about the HTC One X+ in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

    AWESOME. Will it be on sprint?

  • Captain_Doug

    why are you? honestly, I’m curious. I don’t know anyone on sprint.

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Glad you’re stoked for the phone!

    I can’t speak to carrier availability out side of what’s already been made public (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/att-htc-one/). 

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    FWIW, I do appreciate Sprint’s pricing structure. 

  • andre bilodeau

    is this single or dual core?

    all it says is 1.7 ghz

  • http://www.facebook.com/brezanac Miša Brežanac

    Its quad core :)

  • Captain_Doug

    That’s a good reason.

    Did you even read the article?  ”It boasts a supercharged version of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, which features the high-performance, 4-PLUS-1 quad-core architecture and unique 5th battery-saver core.”

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Just to clarify, the Tegra 3 is a unique quad-core mobile processor in that it actually boasts 5 cores.

    There are 4 performance cores that make quick, efficient work of demanding tasks. But, for less demanding tasks (like listening to music, reading a Web Page, watching video, etc.), the 4 performance cores turn off and the 5th battery saver core takes over. This gives you longer battery life.

    You can read more about this unique architecture here:

    2 questions, does this phone allow for expandible media (SD Cards) and can the battery be removed?

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    There is no removable external storage (sd card slot). The battery is not removable.

    But, with 64GB of onboard storage and 50% longer battery life (thanks to the Tegra 3′s 5th battery saver core and the larger battery in the HTC One X+), you should be just fine as far as storage and device uptime are concerned :)

    This is great news…but before I upgrade from my Global One X, I want to know, is the One X+ using DDR3 1600 memory like the Transformer Infinity?

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    I’m looking forward to upgrading to the HTC One X+ myself! 

    As for the specs you’re looking for, you’ll have to ask HTC for details. 

  • http://twitter.com/germano77rm Germano

    Is 28 nm the processor technology ?

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Hi Germano. Thanks for your question. Tegra 3 is built on 40nm process :)

    My holding off for years is about to pay off. I can finally purchase a quadcore tegra that was created to work in the USA. The phone will have what I have wanted in a smartphone since they were invented. This is only the beginning of what is in store for Nvidia with tegra yeah!!!!

    Thanks for the comment! Can you ping me at bcaulfield[at]nvidia.com, Sagar? I’ve got a quick question for you ;-) . 

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Thanks for your enthusiasm and support, Carl!

    This really is just the beginning. We’re working hard to continue breaking molds :)

  • KK

    I don’t think I’ve ever been excited for a phone before. I am excited for this.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/RIEC6A6OY3TATDD4WJPBI6QR2Q Matthew

     Having Nvidia technology is the reason why I am saving for this phone! I trust Nvidia and they prove to have the best technology to offer. I know I love this phone even tho it will be my first Smartphone!

    Trust me, Team Tegra is right there with you!

  • Bob O’Byrne

    Will Park: I just picked up the HTC One X+ (att) and albeit I’m coming from a blkbry curve world… my mind is BLOWN! I love the silky smooth graphics and super fast response on this droid phone. Battery life is amazing given how sweet the action/display renders. Oh yeah I’m a fan. I listen to Jen on the qtrly calls/youtube recorded events and nvidia sounds like they have a true visionary. I’m with you for the long haul- good fortune!!

  • KK

    Anyone else know why they removed the scrolling wallpapers but kept the “+” shaped grid when setting wallpapers? Doesn’t make any sense.

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Good to hear you’re happy with your Tegra-powered HTC One X+ !

    We do have a visionary leader at NVIDIA, which is what helps make products like this possible. Just wait and see what we do next :)

  • http://blogs.nvidia.com/ Will Park

    Not sure what you’re seeing, but my wallpapers do scroll. Are you using a wallpaper that’s wide enough?

  • KK

    Really, on the HTC One X+?! Dude, if that’s the case let me know how to get the scrolling wallpapers on my One X+. I loved them on the One X.
    I actually wound up calling HTC support later that day. They informed me that I was the first to bring this to their attention, and said that they would send it to the developers and flag it for an update.
