HTC One X and iPhone 4S cameras face off (photos)

HTC's new flagship handset comes packing an 8-megapixel camera loaded with a backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor. The camera has also been tweaked to perform as fast as, or even faster, on Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The company's CEO even took some potshots at Apple's iPhone 4S at its Mobile World Congress press conference, and made claims that the One X's camera is much better. Having gotten our hands on a review set, we decided to put this to the test.

Here's a sample shot of Jacqueline Seng's desk at our CNET Asia office. Note the warmer colors from the iPhone 4S.
