HTC to Launch 3 Android Smartphones in Singapore on March 30

Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC is set to launch three new Android Ice Cream Sandwich based smartphones One X, One V and One S in Singapore on March 30, 2012. These smartphones will make their way to India within a week after the official launch. HTC has showcased these smartphones during Mobile World Congress 2012.

HTC is also in talks with Airtel to bundle data plans with the One series smartphones. HTC One smartphones will feature Android 4.0 and HTC's new Sense 4 user interface along with a new suite of camera and imaging features known as HTC Image Sense.

With Image Sense, HTC claims that the One series will rival traditional digital cameras with improvements in every part of the camera including the lens, sensor, software, and even a new integrated custom HTC image chip. Some noted improvements include the camera being ready in just 0.7 seconds; the 0.2 seconds autofocus; and enhancements in image capture quality even in adverse conditions such as low light, no light or with bright backlighting.

A new feature called Video Pic will enable users to capture a photo and shoot video at the same time. So, while you're shooting HD video with your HTC One smartphone, all you have to do is tap the shutter button and it snaps a high resolution still photo while the video continues to shoot.

HTC has also integrated Dropbox with HTC Sense, and offers 25 GB of cloud storage for two years. Normally a user only gets 2.5 GB of storage from Dropbox.

On the sound front, HTC now has access to Beats Audio technology, which it acquired recently and is using in its smartphones to improve its dwindling market share. Beats Audio will offer better bass and richer detail.
