HTC One XL

Under the hood sits a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor on Qualcomm's Snapdragon MSM8960 chipset, paired with an Adreno 225 GPU and 1 GB RAM. That's modest by today's standards but was solid mid-2012 hardware. Storage is fixed at 32 GB with no microSD slot, so what you buy is what you get. The 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD2 screen runs at 720 x 1280 with around 312 ppi, sharp enough for text and video at that size.

The HTC One XL price in Malaysia starts from RM1899. On the imaging side there's an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash and autofocus, capable of 1080p video at 30fps with stabilization, plus a 1.3 MP front camera for 720p calls.

Battery capacity is 1800 mAh, non-removable, which was typical for the era but light by current expectations. It ships with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, upgradable to 4.1 Jelly Bean, and includes NFC, GPS, and LTE support for connectivity. At 129g and 8.9mm thick, it's a compact handset by older flagship standards.
