HTC makes One X+ official, headed to AT&T Exclusively

It looks like our previous information about the HTC One X+ not coming to T-Mobile panned out. Looks like AT&T has picked up the exclusive deal to sell the new, slightly beefed up, HTC One X+. We saw it cruise through the FCC not to long ago sporting AT&T bands, so it isn’t all thatÂ surprisingÂ really. The One X+ will offer a few things that the U.S. has yet to see in a carrier banded device.

First, and most importantly, will be the inclusion of a 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor. It will also be sporting Jelly Bean out of the box along with HTC Sense+. Â Also something fantastic and note worthy, according to the press release, is the inclusion of 64GB of on board storage. That is still a memory capacity that Samsung has yet to bring in the Galaxy S III to the states. They don’t mention AT&T in the pressÂ releaseÂ only that it is scheduled to roll out across Europe and Asia sometime this month. Cnet on the other hand has information that it will be an AT&T exclusive. With the Era 42, which was thought to be the One X + getting pulled from T-Mobiles device road map, it isn’t all that surprising. It would also make more sense for AT&T to carry the device since they are the only US carrier selling the One X also.

Check out the full press release below regarding the international device announcement.
