The HTC S features the same unibody design as the HTC One X in a curved metal case coupled with Gorilla glass. The case is created with a technique called microarc oxidation -- it makes the metal casing hard, durable and, let's face it, sexier than ever. The device comes in silver and black finishes.

It has a 4.3-inch, 960x540 pixel screen, an 8-megapixel camera, a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.

The HTC V also has a metal unibody and sports a simple design that, claims HTC, will resonate with the masses. The device's design is really similar to HTC Legend, with a tiny "chin" at the bottom of the device. It's the cheapest device in the bunch, with a 3.6-inch screen, a 1 GHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM and a 5-megapixel camera.

The hands-on experience with these two devices - which represent the mid and low-tier of the new One lineup - is slightly odd - their cases are made of metal, while the flagship device is in an even lighter polycarbonate shell. With this trick, HTC has done a good job making sure these two devices don't feel cheap. This especially goes for the HTC One S, which is incredibly thin - only 7.95 mm.

We'll see these two devices in store sometime in Q2 2012, HTC says.

Check out our up close and personal photos of the devices in the gallery below.
