Well folks, it's official! The HTC One X+ is launching this fall in the UK. It has yet to be announced when this guy will hit US shores, but we have been assured that it will have LTE on board when it does. While, surprisingly, the UK version will not. Other specs include a larger 2100mAh battery(it's a start), a 1.6 megapixel front facing camera(opposed to the One X's 1.3 shooter), an added amplifier for the loud speaker to improve audio quality, it only comes in black(pictured above), 64gb of storage, a 1.7ghz quad-core Tegra 3 cpu, Sense 4+, and to top it off, this is HTC's first Jelly Bean device. At a glance you wouldn't really be able to tell this apart from the OG One X, say for the red accents, because most of the improvements are internal. That said, seems to be a very nice upgrade.
It should also be noted that the global One X and One S will be updated to Jelly Bean as well as Sense 4+ this month. No word on the US variants just yet, but I imagine it will take some time to go through the carriers.
Though this is a very nice announcement from HTC, I'm still going to wait and see if they have a phablet up their sleeve.
UPDATE: It has been confirmed that this will be an AT&T exclusive device in the States. Quite a disappointment for us T-mo fans, as this was rumored to hit Magenta shelves. Things like this are what hurt HTC the most, at least in my opinion. You don't see the Galaxy S3 exclusively on one carrier, now do you?
