HTC confirms the One X and One S will get Android 4.1

Just in case you've been wondering whether or not HTC's flagship has been abandoned entirely, it hasn't. The HTC One X, One S, as well as the American LTE version, the One XL will get the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at some stage.

The HTC One X, XL and S will be updated to Android 4.1.

Here is the full statement from HTC's Jeff Gordon:

“We know HTC fans are excited to get their hands on Google’s latest version of Android. At this point in time, we can confirm that we have plans to upgrade our HTC One X, HTC One XL and HTC One S to Jelly Bean. Please stay tuned for more updates regarding device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Jelly Bean.”

There is a One series device missing from that list, the lower-end One V. Our guess is that the One V will get updated as well, hopefully along with many of HTC's other devices after their three leading smartphones have been dealt with. Also missing is a estimated time of arrival, but chances are the One X and its closest siblings will get a taste of Jelly Bean in October or November.

KitGuru says: It's time to Samsung, Sony, Motorola and LG to make software update promises.

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
