Is that a box of quad-core phones or is HTC happy to be in Barcelona
John Starkweather is HTC's WorldWide Director of Digital Marketing and on HTC's blog he wrote about his travels to Barcelona. He mentions the long flight from Seattle to Spain and how he unboxed "something amazing" while setting up for Sunday's event. He even included a picture of a box with 54 units of what he called this "amazing thing" covered in pink bubble wrap.
Well, it's not terribly hard to guess what HTC could have brought to Barcelona that's amazing. That would be the quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 powered HTC One X and its fabulous 4.7 inch 720p display with a pixel density of 312ppi. The phone, once known as the HTC Endeavor, is still not official, but that explains why the device is in the box and under bubble wrap.
HTC is hosting its own special event on Sunday, the day before MWC opens and the HTC One X will be there along with the HTC One S and HTC One V. But with its quad-core power, the HTC One X is bound to grab all of the attention. Speaking of grabbing, even taking into consideration that a few units will be for display purposes, we wonder what HTC has in mind for the rest of the units. Hmm.

Do we smell quad-core coming from this box?
Of course, we received our invite to HTC's event on Sunday and we are hoping to get a first-hand look at how fast quad-core is with the HTC One X. Starting with HTC's mixer tomorrow, we will be giving you the most complete coverage of MWC 2012. If you want to be the first among your smartphone lovin' friends to know what's happening in Barcelona, stick with us for the duration.
