HTC ONE X – QUAD CORE, GORILLA GLASS, BEATS AUDIO, SENSE 4



Here’s the new flagship handset for HTC unveiled at the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2012 – the HTC One X codenamed Endeavour. Packing all the latest technology, HTC One X is a unibody device that uses white polycarbonate and Gorilla Glass to protect its large 4.7” 1280 x 720 non-pentile Super LCD 2 display. Underneath all that is the NVIDIA Tegra 3 4-PLUS-1 quad-core processor (for the global edition, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core for the LTE version), 1GB DDR2 RAM and 32GB of built-in storage and as though that’s not enough, as mentioned before, HTC is also throwing in 25GB of extra storage on DropBox which will be free for 2 years.

At the back, HTC One X is equipped with an 8MP camera featuring the brand new f/2.0 lens that makes capturing images in low light conditions possible. As mentioned in the keynote, you’ll also be able to capture images while recording continuous focus 1080p video with the phone. I know the flash are usually never mentioned in a phone, but the HTC One X boasts a unique LED flash which supports for 5 levels of automatic brightness control – I hope this means that you won’t be capturing washed out pictures with flash lights that usually threatens to make you blind. The front will be equipped with a 1.3MP camera for all your 720p HD needs.

THE NORTH FACE - SHUTTLE SERIES



“Simplicity and Functionality”, a description often thrown together by designers, labels, and fashion press alike. Yet, there is hardly any design that truly adhere to the two principles, at least till now. Introducing the Shuttle Series by The North Face, a new “urban transit” collection of accessories, catered specifically to the needs of today’s intracity travelers. Constructed from 1680 denier nylon with tucked-in seams and stitching that further enhance the streamlined each accessory’s appearance. Adaptable to various needs, built-in sleeve and inner compartments made of Neoprene let you store away something as simple as a pen to as large as 17-inch laptop, all with ease. In the forms of duffel bag, brief case, daypack, rolling luggage, and garment bag, all designs come in two colorways of all-black and all-red. The North Face Shuttle Series is now available exclusively at The North Face Standard specialty boutique in Tokyo.
