One X+ is still thin

Despite its quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 64GB of internal storage, the HTC One X+ looks as thin as the One X.

The One X+'s beefed-up camera

Though the HTC One X+ has virtually the same 8-megapixel image sensor found in its predecessor, it does have a few new features. Along with the deep list of settings and shooting modes like HDR, burst, and panorama, the phone also now has a timer for self portraits.

Nokia's more modest Lumia 820

The Nokia Lumia 820 was on hand as well. It's less tricked out than the Lumia 920, lacks a PureView camera and sports a smaller screen. Even so, it will have removable back covers in various colors. The phone will also support wireless charging and NFC (near-field communication) technology.

A PureView class camera

On back of Nokia's Lumia 920 is its PureView 8-megapixel camera, which the company claims is the best phone imaging system on the market.

Wireless speaker for your Lumia

On hand at Nokia's display during AT&T's fall shindig was this JBL Bluetooth speaker. Not only does it use NFC to pair with Lumia phones just by tapping them together, it will also charge handsets sans wires.

Windows Phone plays the voice game, too

Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 boasts powerful voice command and voice-to-text features, too. Siri, Google Voice Actions, you better watch your backs.

The Optimus G's glossy back

The LG Optimus G's back surface is glossy and reflective. Let's just hope it won't attract fingerprints as easily as it does ambient light.

This Sony's a bit thick

Contrasting with some of the more svelte handsets on display at AT&T's event, the Sony Xperia TL is on the chunky side.

Samsung gets more rugged

Here's the new Samsung Rugby Pro, which is designed to take a licking and keep on ticking. It meets military specifications for ruggedness and will shrug off spills, falls, and dust.

Subtle armor plating

Samsung's Rugby Pro (its back shown here) is wrapped in protective armor but looks like your typical midrange smartphone.

Windows 8 done sleekly

The new Asus Vivo Tab RT is one of the first tablets to run Windows 8. It's also superthin and lightweight, less than 1.2 pounds.

Trim but not ultrathin

The Samsung Ativ Smart PC isn't as thin as the Asus Vivo Tab RT, but runs full Windows 8 and not the lighter RT version of Redmond's new operating system.
