HTC Confirms Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Is Coming To The One X And One S

Theverge.com received the following statement from Jeff Gordon, HTC's Global Online Communications Manager:

“We know HTC fans are excited to get their hands on Google’s latest version of Android. At this point in time, we can confirm that we have plans to upgrade our HTC One X, HTC One XL and HTC One S to Jelly Bean. Please stay tuned for more updates regarding device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Jelly Bean.”

The company is also working to claim more of Qualcomm's latest mobile processor for the One S roll-out.
