It appears that HTC rather quietly has confirmed its upcoming HTC Sense 5.0 user interface for a number of current devices including the HTC One X, One X+, One S and the HTC Butterfly though the company only confirms the new software for the global variants and says that some features might be missing when the updates arrive.
TORONTO, May 17, 2012 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today announced the highly anticipated HTC One™ S smartphone is now available on Bell, TELUS, Fido, Virgin Mobile nationwide, and is coming soon to SaskTel. The HTC One S debuts in Canada as HTC’s thinnest smartphone featuring the amazing camera, authentic sound and iconic design experience of the new HTC One series of smartphones.
The HTC One S is now officially up for sale at T-Mobile, both online and in stores. The highly anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich handset is priced at $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate along with a new two-year service agreement. It also comes just in time for T-Mobile’s Magenta Deal Days, which starts today and offers $100 trade-ins for any smartphone.
With the HTC One series being release this week comes the first time we’re getting to see the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, and with it the power and finesse we were promised starting late last year. What you’re about to witness is how good the Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor really is – the video you’re about to see showing the HTC One S (with the S4 inside) playing one game, then another, then another, each time keeping several apps open in the background. Will the device slow down or crash under the pressure?
Both Phones will be landing in just a couple of weeks, according to both O2 and Phones4u. O2 took to Twitter to confirm that HTC’s new flagship handset, the One X, will be landing on their network on April 5th, although no tariffs have been confirmed yet.
