The HTC One X10 first made its appearance last month and based on the technical specifications that were revealed, it is expected to serve as a budget-friendly smartphone. It also has modest upgrades over its predecessor.
HTC's upcoming smartphone will feature a 5.5-inch display with a resolution 1,920 x 1080 pixels. There will also be 3 GB of random-access memory (RAM) and 32 GB of built-in storage.
The new smartphone will be powered by an octa-core 1.9 GHz MediaTek MT6755V/C Helio P10 processor and the Mali T860 graphics processing unit (GPU). Interestingly, the One X9's octa-core MT6795 system on chip (SoC) had a higher clock speed at 2.2 GHz.
When it comes to the camera's specs, the One X10's 16.3-megapixel (MP) rear camera and a 7.9-MP front shooter are an upgrade compared to the previous device's 13-MP and 5-MP cameras.
Pricing is rumored to be about CNY 1,200, which is about $174. As such, this device is expected to compete with affordable offerings from other Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Meizu.
Since the HTC One X10 is expected to break cover soon, the most likely platform for its official introduction will be at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), to be held in Barcelona, Spain from Feb. 27 to March 2.
