HTC ONE X || Disscusion

[yashthedude]

How about this for a rebound after a rather quiet second half of last year? A massive change of game plan sees HTC focus on a few special products instead of trying to create a smartphone for every taste. An outstanding result of this effort, the HTC One X brings so many firsts for both company and industry, that a climb to the top of the food chain may be a walk in the park.

Just look at some of the things the One X has put on its resume. The 4-PLUS-1 Tegra 3 makes its smartphone debut here, the awesome polycarbonate body adds that extra solid feel and grip, while the 4.7" second-generation S-LCD of HD resolution on the front is a crystal-clear view to the world of Sense 4.0 and Android 4.0 ICS.
And that's just the HTC One X getting started, check out the complete list below.

Previous HTC flagships were often criticized for lacking identity and bringing little improvement in terms of both features and design. This time critics should have little to fret about - the One X is as bold a step forward as it gets. Not only is the processing power more than doubled, but the screen and body of the smartphone itself are immensely better than what the Sensation and Sensation XE had to offer. And let's not forget the camera, which HTC say is the best they have ever made.

What we're particularly impressed with about the One X is that it's actually more compact than you'd expect from a phone with a 4.7" screen. Not only is it impressively slim, the One X is only marginally larger than the omnipresent Samsung Galaxy S II and that one had a 4.3" screen.

So what are your suggestions on this super phone??

So i think we shud start our discussion here

And just tell if this was in ur budget wud u buy it??

 

[reddick]

If I've got enough bucks to buy the phone within this range, so after comparing , I would not purchase this one and go for Galaxy S 2 (32 GB ver.)

Really coz i think u shud check it again

Comparison clearly says S II < HTC ONE X

btw, where you saw that comparison

My cousin purchased it. The phone is in my hand btw.

Sense UI is crap and hence this phone is also crap. Same reason (TouchWiz) why SGS3 is also crap. I'd skip both of them.

Buy the next Google (Nexus) phone.

Screen is brilliant and the phone isn't that much of a looker as people say.

I choose S2 as it gives the best performance with prices to b fallen in coming days. It's a bit lighter which gives double mem. power 32GB internal + 32 GB mem. card n sharper secondary camera
Though it has .4 inches short screen but I personally would not bother about it Overall it is a bit near to One X n further these types of tits n bits differences would not make a much differences if u get a phone like S2 within 21-22K range after a month or nearby.

naah, don't buy SGS2 if you can afford SGS3/One X. 720p resolution is worth going for if you can afford/have the budget.

Could you please try out Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher replacements on that phone and tell us if your experience becomes better?

 

[aroraanant]

I love this phone.
According to me its the best in market right now.

I did consider the One X but decided against it and bought the Xperia S instead. Why ?

* Xperia S screen is better head on
* Too big for ME
* Camera isn't as good as XS
* Too many software bugs
* Quality control issues
* Multitasking bug
* Poor battery life

Frankly, If I am spending 34k on a phone I'd want it to function well enough right out of the box. Unfortunately One X doesn't, it has way too many issues and I wouldn't want to browse XDA all day and figure out how I can get the phone to perform as well as it should !!

The One X forum is filled with threads about complaints/issues/bugs/random disappointment rants !

Its been more than a month now since I bought my XS and I haven't spent even a single hour on XDA looking for a "solution" as I have never faced any issue with the phone. Had I bought the One X, the situation would have been VERY different.

Its a decent phone no doubt, but just like the Sensation it is a "beta" product.

The GS3 is simply better (even though I personally HATE Samsung)

LOL you decide to show me PhoneArena review video ?

Haha did you check the reviews of One X and S3 on PhoneArena dude ?

One X score 7.8/10
GS3 score 9.3/10

And this Phonearena's opinion on One X vs GS3

Well, folks, it should have become clear by now that the Galaxy S III will once again rule the land of Android, at least until a better contender arrives on the scene. For now, however, the powerful HTC One X isn't capable enough to question its leadership. Although HTC's offering is arguably better when it comes to appearance and overall design, the Galaxy S III is unbeatable as far as user experience goes and that's what's more important. Why would you need a good-looking phone that takes mediocre images and video, and has a number of nasty issues in its software? Meanwhile, the Galaxy S III may not be the most beautiful phone ever, but it does everything right in terms of functionality, meaning it will cause you far less trouble during day-to-day usage.

Once again, HTC's finest will have to play second-best to the Galaxy S phone of the year.

P.S. Jeez ! Feels weird defending GS3 when I absolutely hate the phone !

Hahha same condition but we cant say anything about GS3 yet

let gets hand on it and then we can decide
wich the hell is better one

thats a big arguement about this two phones

but just the thing we can do is to wait for GS3
and then the result can be taken out of it

 

[randomuser111]

Sorry ? The GS3 is already available everywhere. Why should you wait ??? All major review sites have already compared GS3 and One X and declared GS3 superior!
And so far user reviews for GS3 also seem much better than One X. In fact a lot of One X owners shifted to GS3 and are enjoying it a lot more than One X. Especially the battery life is much better on GS3

I listen to audio podcasts regularly... When HTC One X was launched, I listened to audio podcasts on Engadget Mobile and The Verge, discussing about that phone. At that time, I knew that no other phone would beat HTC One X in 2012... not even the S3, not even the new iPhone in October...

HTC One X is too ahead of the game. If custom ROMs can be used on that amazing hardware, or even a decent launcher replacement, then the phone becomes unbeatable...

Engadget Mobile Podcast HTC One X -- Engadget Mobile Podcast 133 - 04.04.2012 - Engadget

The Verge Mobile Podcast HTC One X -- The Verge Mobile Podcast 022 - 04.04.2012 | The Verge

I trust these people... When they all say it is an excellent phone, it has to be really awesome...

Why are you posting links of podcasts prior to the GS3 launch ? Then they were just speculating. Now the phone is out. Go check out GS3 review on both the verge and Engadget.

It seems that here are some GS3 fanboys.

Those podcasts don't deal with GS3... they are all about HTC One X.

GS3 lost the battle against One X because of its mediocre built quality. If I am spending 35k on a phone, I don't need a piece of plastic. HTC One X is premium built quality, superior screen compared to GS3. Really awesome design.

GS3 is ugly. Powerful, but ugly.

GS3's main advantage is its better processor (better than Tegra 3) and bigger battery (2100 mah vs 1850 mah)... But HTC One X has a lot more advantages compared to the S3.
