By HTC is offering up a few new One S variants for the Chinese market, each with identical internal specs but varying outer decor. Let’s get the details out of the way: the phones feature a 4.3-inch display at 800×480 resolution, 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM, and a 5MP camera. They are Beats Audio devices running Android 4.0 and Sense 4 and boast dual-SIM support.
The most interesting of the bunch is the One SC for China Telecom, which smacks of the HTC One X when looking at the device head-on, but the back cover mixes it up with a big and bold HTC logo and stark angles featuring into the camera housing. The One ST and One SU for China Mobile and Chian Unicom respectively go with a curvier design. All devices come in a variety of color options.
There’s no word if HTC plans to bring these devices to any other markets in the near future, but odds are looking like they will remain exclusive to China. Still, interesting to see how the Taiwanese company is using the One S design as a springboard for a wider product portfolio.

There can be only three One’s!
Now this is a first HTC handset that looks attractive from the rear.
I sent this leak to you before anyone else including phonearena. Good job checking that tip inbox… Isn’t the point of being a tech blog website to make money by having news that generates links & traffic? I do not get you guys!
You could always start your own blog..
:P
Ok, that was a smart ass thing to say…in all seriousity, thanks for sending in an interesting tip, even if they didn’t credit you.
I think I should ! PHANDROIDLIFE.com! In all honesty I was just trying to send them some more traffic but they seem to DGAF.
Might depend on who is manning the ship when you send in a tip. I sent one in for the first time the other day and Chavez got right on it.
Chavez is about the best writer they have. I don’t think Krause gives two fucks who sends in a source link. He’s here for the cash.
Oh quit crying dude
Not crying, I could care less. I am questioning the reasoning behind skipping news leaks which could generate revenue for the smaller Android news provider. Instead, AOL will gobble it right up.
Couldn’t care less*
Nice looking phone
I’m starting to realize that I have different taste when it comes to esthetics, because I seriously do not like that back! °~°
And people bash Moto’s qHD 4.3″ display….
Back part looks good. Make the next Nexus, yes?
I thought HTC would focus on a few hero devices, how many devices have they released this year? 9?
Exactly what I was thinking, especially when they’re so similar then why bother?
That’s the American strategy which they are sticking to perfectly not having any phone newer than the one series. They never said they would do “quality over quantity” in countries other than the US…..
