( Mashable ) -- HTC has launched a new flagship Android smartphone , the HTC One X , at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . The majority of mobile giants had their announcements before the actual start of the MWC -- including Samsung , LG and Sony . HTC had the last , and perhaps the most glamorous event of the day , held in a huge rounded dome at the top of the CÃºpula las Arenas next to Fira de Barcelona , where the main conference is held . The HTC One X ( the first in a new line of devices called simply HTC One ) , unveiled by the company CEO Peter Chou , is a 4.7-inch , quad core Tegra 3-powered beast in a polycarbonate white shell . The device also brings a vastly improved camera experience , called Image Sense . The camera takes photos quickly -- in 0.7 seconds . It has 8 megapixels and uses an f/2.0 lens , which captures more light than any other HTC smartphone camera . It also takes great photos in unfavorable light conditions , thanks to the device 's HDR algorithm . An on-screen comparison with the photos taken with an HTC One X and an iPhone 4S portrays HTC 's device as a clear winner , but we 're sure Apple will have a word or two to say about that . HTC is bundling a bunch of extras with the device : 25 GB of free Dropbox-powered storage , Beats Audio sound ( HTC acquired Beats Audio in August 2011 ) and a feature called Media Link , which takes your photos and videos from the smartphone to the TV ( through a special gadget that connects to any TV ) with a three-finger swipe on the smartphone 's screen . The company also launched two other HTC One devices with slightly lower specs -- the HTC One S and the HTC One V. All three devices should be hitting the market in the next two months , likely in April . © 2013 MASHABLE.com . All rights reserved .
