HTC PM63100 to succeed the One X with 1.7GHz CPU and HD screen

The HTC One X has undoubtedly been a huge success for HTC and battery issues aside, we certainly feel it’s one of the most powerful and best performing Androids in the market today. A leak from a GLBenchmark listing tells us that HTC is working on a possible successor to the One X. So far, we only have the model name and a few specifications, but from the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a major departure from the current One X. Codenamed HTC PM63100, it will still sport an HD (1280 x 720) screen, although the screen size is yet unknown. The codename for this phone is ‘Evitareul’ which is similar to the codename for the One X, which was Evita. The phone seems to be currently running ICS, but we feel HTC will give it the Jelly Bean treatment by the time it’s out.

Successor on the way

The One X is HTC’s current flagship offering. It uses a polycarbonate shell, making it ultra slim and durable. The screen is a Super LCD 2 which produces very good colour and comes very close to the quality of a Super AMOLED. The camera is definitely a highlight on the One X and the burst mode is second to none - even the S III doesn’t stand a chance when it comes to capturing images in quick succession. The One X, just like the rest of the One series, comes with Android 4.0 along with Sense 4.0 running on top.
