Earlier this morning the folks from HTC announced an all new HTC One X+ smartphone — at least on the inside. The new device is nearly identical to the AT&T version before it, only under the hood it has received a slew of enhancements to make it their new flagship device. After AT&T announced US exclusivity on the device, TELUS has confirmed it’s coming to their network up in Canada.
In case you missed the earlier news, the HTC One X+ is the same on the outside as far as looks — aside from a few color variations — and under the hood is an all new beast. We now have a larger 2,100 mAh battery, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean instead of Ice Cream Sandwich, and of course the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor is now running at 1.7 GHz. Pretty fast right?
Yup, while the device isn’t quite available yet we’ve already managed to get our hands on it. You’ll be able to see more from our HTC One X+ hands-on. You’ll still have the same impressive 4.7-inch SLCD2 1280 x 720p HD display, 1GB of RAM, and awesome 8 megapixel camera with HTC’s Imagesense chip for enhanced photos.
Original leaks of the One X+ hinted towards a T-Mobile release, but today’s news of AT&T being the exclusive carrier in the US has ruined a few T-Mo customers hopes and dreams. So far TELUS hasn’t released any details on pricing or exact availability date, but we’ll be seeing it sometime “this fall.” Stay tuned!

Why the ATT exclusive…from rumors Tmo has been working with HTC from way back when on a more improved One X. So what happened…did ATT come in with a lot of $$$$$ to steal Tmo’s catch? Hasn’t HTC learnt anything abt these nonsensical exclusives? Such a device should be made available to all major Networks. Samsung is making sure their marquee devices such as the GS3 and Note 2 are on all major carriers…Apple doing the same with their iPhone 5. I have been waiting for the improved One X+ on Tmo from back when the rumor first popped up. I resisted the temptation to jump on the GS3 cuz i knew the One X+ will be coming to Tmo. HTC u are sure doing a good job pissing off a lot of ur fans….NOT GOOD. I had only two devices on my wish list…this One X+ and the next Nexus. At this point i hope the new Nexus is made by HTC
HTC should stand for Hurting T-mobile Customers.
Just buy the International One X+ and use that on T-Mobile. You won’t have a carrier in between you and future updates then, either.
