Nokia rather blew the doors off MWC 2012 this morning by announcing a 41-megapixel camera sensor ensconced within the confines of a smartphone, the 808 PureView.

HTC One S pictures, video and hands-on preview

The HTC One S is the best designed phone of the year so far. It measures just 7.6mm in thickness but feels even thinner thanks to its slanted sides and the way the front glass surface slopes off the edges.

HTC One X for AT&T pictures, video, and hands-on preview

HTC's new flagship is here: the HTC One X is in the vanguard of not just the new "One" lineup, but of HTC's mini-revival for 2012. Based on our brief time with it, we think the phone will manage to pull off both of those heavy tasks, though whether it will be enough to fend off Samsung's rumored Galaxy S III is sadly going to be an open question until later this year. For now, the HTC One X impresses on its own terms and specs, and what great specs they are.

The LG Optimus Vu is not a shy phone / tablet. Like the Galaxy Note, it has a 5-inch screen, but its 4 by 3 aspect ratio makes it a very difficult device to hold in one hand.
