International HTC One X gets update to Android 4.0.4

Now receiving the update to Android 4.0.4, the international HTC One X

Days after the AT&T version of the HTC One X was updated to Android 4.0.4 from 4.0.3, the international version of the phone has received the same update. To refresh your memory, the changelist included the remapping of the 'recent apps' key which will improve the looks of apps that have not yet made the jump to Ice Cream Sandwich. It also adds a dedicated button in the browser to switch tabs, continuous autofocus for the camera and some white balance adjustments. Additionally, the update brings enhanced memory, platform stability and users should notice an improvement to the overall browsing experience on the phone.

Other changes of note include a new Single Sign-on for Facebook and upgrades to Beats Audio. Developers should find expanded support for HTC MediaLink in the OpenSense SDK. The update has started to rollout overseas and if you want to check to see if the OTA update has hit your phone, go to Settings > About phone > Software update to see if it has arrived.

The HTC One X could soon find itself replaced as the flagship model for the Taiwan based manufacturer as reports continue to surface about a model code named the HTC Endeavor C2 aka the HTC One X+. This model is expected to launch in the U.K. as soon as October with a quad-core 1.7GHz Tegra 3+ processor and is rumored to be heading to T-Mobile in the States, possibly as soon as next month
