T-Mobile could be launching the HTC One X+ that features a Tegra 3 1.7GHz processor in the near future, according to a report from TmoNews.

A smartphone named the HTC Era 42 recently appeared in T-Mobile's inventory system and the site had previously thought that this device would turn out to be the G3. Now it is claiming that it now can confirm that this HTC Era 42 will be the HTC One X+ for T-Mobile.

Rumors of the HTC One X coming to T-Mobile began surfacing in February and now it seems that they were somewhat correct, according to TmoNews.

The original HTC One X launched earlier this year as an exclusive AT&T device and is probably the best Android handset that the Taiwanese company has ever created.

It was the first smartphone to be released by HTC that came with Android 4.0, pre-installed and featured a Tegra 3 quad-core processor.

The device originally retailed at $199 on the carrier with a new 2-year agreement. AT&T is expected to slash its price down to $99.99 on July 29.

Other specifications on the One X include a 4.7-inch Super LCD display with 1280 x 720 pixels, an 8-megapixel camera that includes an ImageChip that kicks up picture processing. It is also a 4G LTE device and features Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.

The HTC One X is one of the first quad-core smartphones to run the Android platform, and was followed by the wildly popular Samsung Galaxy S3.

Both of these devices feature an HD display and have raised the bar in terms of specifications on handsets.

The next smartphone expected to be released with these capabilities will be the next-generation iPhone due out in the fall of this year.
