They’re One, but they’re not the same — HTC is planning the One S and One X, two new phones packing Ice Cream Sandwich, to be officially unveiled this month.
The One X is the phone previously known as the HTC Endeavour or HTC Edge, according to SlashGear.
It sports a 720p screen and nVidia Tegra 3 chip, making it one of Europe’s first quad-core phones.
The One S, Pocketnow reports, was previously codenamed the Ville. Photos and videos of the Ville have been floating around the Web for months, revealing that it’s a skinny blower with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, an 8-megapixel camera around the back and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor inside.
Both phones are powered by Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of Android. Here’s 10 reasons why Ice Cream Sandwich is a big deal.

I watch it solely to hear announcers saying thngs like “Tomorrow on Yesterday…”
The HTC One S and One X — or OneS and OneX as HTC apparently styles them, yeah good luck getting people to Google that — will try to one-up the competition at Mobile World Congress, the annual phone show where the big names show off their wares for the coming year. We’ll be there to bring you all the up-to-the-minute news and previews of the latest fantastic phones, so keep it here for your first reviews and videos.
