The HTC One XL integrates Android 4.0 (ICS) with HTC Sense™ 4, the new version of HTC’s branded user experience that is introducing HTC ImageSense™, a new suite of camera and imaging features that set HTC One XL apart from other phones. HTC Sense™ 4 also includes broad enhancements to audio quality and simplifies how people listen to music on their phone.
Amazing Camera
With ImageSense™, HTC One XL rivals traditional digital cameras with improvements to every part of the camera, including the lens, the sensor, the software, and even integrating a new custom HTC ImageChip. These enhancements combine to deliver our fastest image capture, best image quality under adverse conditions and easiest interface that enables quick access to capturing stills and videos with side-by-side photo and video capture buttons.
• Superfast Capture - HTC One XL dramatically reduces the time it takes to capture those key moments. In just 0.7 seconds you’re able to take a shot, and with a new superfast 0.2-seconds autofocus, continue to take 99 shots simply by holding the shutter button.
• Good photos in adverse conditions - HTC One XL delivers dramatic enhancements in image capture quality even in adverse conditions such as low light, no light or with bright backlighting. The f/2.0 lens on the HTC One XL offers best-in-class performance, capturing 40 percent more light than the f/2.4 lenses available on other high-end phones. HTC One XL also includes HDR, a market-leading technology, for taking great photos even when there are varying levels of brightness.
• VideoPic (Concurrent Video/Still Capture) – With VideoPic on new Sense™ 4, you capture a photo and shoot video at the same time. Now, while you’re shooting HD video, all you have to do is tap the shutter button and it snaps a high-resolution still photo while the video continues to shoot. You are also able to capture a photo frame from a previously recorded video.
The advanced camera in HTC One XL offers photography on a par with traditional digital camera. Moreover, HTC integrates online data storage and sharing platform that allows you to enjoy a unique and all-rounded camera performance:
• Dropbox integrated with HTC Sense™ 4 - HTC One XL gives you an easy way to save and share your photos and videos. HTC has integrated Dropbox into HTC Sense™ 4 enabling HTC One XL customers to get up to 25 gigabytes of free Dropbox space for two years. That’s enough to keep more than 10,000 high-quality photos. Dropbox is also integrated throughout HTC Sense™ 4, so it’s easy to edit, save and share your documents and other kinds of files.
• Sharing your photos and more - HTC One XL gives you a new way to share your photos and videos. When you plug in HTC’s wireless Media Link HD accessory into your TV’s HDMI port, you can easily share your photos, videos, or anything else on your phone with your friends, family or colleagues regardless of the television’s brand as long as it has HDMI. The dual screen display allows you to play your movies, videos, and photos on an external display while freeing up your phone to do other things such as surfing the internet, writing and receiving messages, and more – all without visually interrupting your experience on the big screen.
Authentic Sound
