With MWC 2012 drawing near, more details of HTC’s upcoming devices have surfaced. Firstly the model names are said to be finalised with the quad-core HTC Edge/Endeavor ending up as HTC One X. The other device which is a dual-core HTC Ville will be known as the HTC One S. Both “X” and “S” sounds very similar when pronounced, so make sure you’re referring to the right device if you’re getting one.

According to the latest scoop, the HTC One X will go buttonless and shall utilise on-screen buttons on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This makes the front design clean like the Galaxy Nexus. In terms of storage, it will come with 32GB but it doesn’t come with an expandable micro SD slot. We wonder if this is going to be a trend since newer smart phones such as Galaxy Nexus and even the Xperia S are dropping the expansion slot.

On the display side, the 4.7″ 720p screen is said to be using Super LCD. Other revealed details include NFC, 8MP backlit camera, utilising micro SIM and a 1,800mAh capacity battery. Hit up the source link for the full scoop.

Currently the HTC Ville is expected to be officially revealed at MWC 2012. From the pic, the back appears to have a gradient metal finish and capacitive buttons are also visible on the front.

HTC hasn’t been doing remarkably well recently and their HTC Sensation isn’t exactly flying off the shelves as we had hoped. However HTC isn’t resting on their laurels as they are said to be working on the next big thing.

What you see above is the HTC Ville which rumoured to be running on dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 4.3″ Super AMOLED qHD display and better 8MP camera with 1080p video shooting support. From the photo, the phone still has the usual 4 capacitive buttons which means it is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread instead of debuting with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

What’s worth mentioning is that the HTC Ville is said to be under 8mm thick which puts it between Motorola RAZR’s 7.1mm and Samsung Galaxy S II’s 8.49mm. In terms of availability, it is expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in February with shipping to start in April.

Earlier on, it was reported that HTC is working on a Quad-Core smart phone identified as the HTC Edge. This year HTC is having a tough time in the high-end Android segment which strong contenders such as Samsung. We shall see if HTC can catch up in 2012.
