HTC One X camera
The camera on the One X is better specified than the average smartphone, with an 8-megapixel sensor, 'smart' auto-flash that detects the distance from the subject, and an f2.0 aperture and 28mm lens. It is capable of capturing 1080p HD video using the rear camera.
There is also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera capable of 720p video chat.

Neither of the models, the One X or the One S, have microSD support, both do offer 25GB of cloud storage, provided by DropBox, for free for two years.
Personally, I think I'd rather have microSD support (and an accessible battery!) than a bundled cloud service, but maybe that's just me.....
HTC One S : 960x540, DUAL core 1.5GHz, 16Gb built in.
HTC One V : 800x480, SINGLE core 1GHz, 4Gb built in + MicroSD
For the One X, massively impressive specifications, just hope Android 4.0 ICS and HTC have improved power consumption issues...what are the official standby and usage times? Throwing every increasing capacity batteries at the problem isn't a long term solution, they add weight and remove capacity for additional features....like missing Micro SD card slots ;-)
HTC One X - FAIL!
Battery life of the X is apparently quite bad due to the screen, techradar has more info on it, and a battery-shootout comparing it to the S, an S2 and iPhone 4s. Apparently the S is much better battery life.
