What do you guys think of the One X????

I don't own a nexus but I considered buying that beautiful phone many times. But now I think I'm gonna get the HTC One X. What do you guys think of that phone? Any of you getting it?

It's a nice phone.....but not worth the upgrade from a Galaxy Nexus.
Tegra 3 ain't too great for starters. But luckily they have a Krait option in the One XL.
The protruding camera has poised to be a small problem also.
And it's just so damn expensive right now.
Will probably end up holding this GN till the next nexus device comes out as I just got it. Unless the SGSIII is too damn amazing to pass up.

Sweet thanks for your opinion. Apparently the 4.0.4 update turn the nexus into a super beast, it looks very nice and fast.

Uhh. Its not a Nexus. Kbye.

But in all seriousness, don't think you'll find many people with the Galaxy Nexus who will dump it for a Sense device, a mere 4 months (at most) into owning the GNex. Just not that big of an upgrade, even if it was stock Android 4.

Cool I respect that. There is no doubt that the nexus is an awesome phone.

I'm not a fan of tegra 3 really, omap or qualcom preference. But the one x looks stunning. And I want HTC to sell a ton of these to get back in the game and mix things up.
Nexus always for me...

Camera is a lot better than I expected on the Nexus. Was expecting the worse, took a few snaps after updating to 4.0.4 and it's pretty good. White balance and color tones etc...are true and accurate.
In low light, there's a bit of noise but it's to be expected. Because it's 5MP can tell some shots just can't get all the detail when zoomed in and looking at the pics.
But the One X camera is a beast. The 4FPS is nuts, it's just continuous and stays in focus too for the most part. But it seems that it still isn't the best which is surprising. Just competitive with the other best camera smartphones.

Yea i'm over there looking at threads and replying and stuff.
Probably not now that I got a Galaxy Nexus. I was thinking about getting the AT&T version when it came out but I probably wont now. Doesn't seem worth it.
I might use my upgrade on an iPhone 5 or something or SGSIII depending on how the phones are.
Then sell one of them for the new Nexus in November/december

While the phone nerd in me wants the newest toys I know I would hate sense. I hear its gotten a lot better but I love plain Android. I tried miui and restored my back up 5 min later lol

I think One X is a significant upgrade:
1. cpu is almost twice as powerful
2. gpu is 2-3 times more powerful
3. camera is a LOT better accoridng to reviews
4. Display is apprantely the best on a smartphone ever. (this one may not be a very big deal for us but still a good upgrade)
5. Design is just awesome, seems a lot more robust and slim than gnexus.
When it falls short is the software. I've never owned an andorid phone other than gnexus so I don't know: do you guys think vanilla ics will be fully functional on this phone and when do you think it'd be available?

I'll try and get it when it comes to ATT

From my experience......AOSP on any other phone besides a Nexus is nice, but it just doesn't feel right. There are some small minor things here and there that just makes you want a Nexus instead so you don't have to deal with the little bugs.
It will definitely get Vanilla ICS eventually, idk how long....it looks like the One X will have a good dev community behind it. A lot of people are thinking it's one of the great phones ever lol
The CPU is better, but its literally just 2 more cores of the cortex-A9 which is what we're running also. And nothing is really utilizing it efficiently.
GPU is better but thats not hard honestly. Nvidia apparently isn't using any real new tech in it, they said it themselves somewhere. I'd wait for "Keplar" to be in it with Tegra 4 revision.
Screen is a toss up, it could be a lot better, and it might not...idk i don't have one lol. I have a feeling its nice, but idk if its a drastic improvement over SAMOLED HD.
Either way....best to know what Samsung does with SGSIII before making any decision. It might turn out like the SGSII and Sensation where SGSII just ended up smoking it. Though, the Sensation had a great dev community and definitely one of the largest outside the Nexus, and SGS series phones.

Totally agree

I'm usually on a one phone a year cycle with the Nexus phones, but since my GN screen is cracked I will probably jump on the SIII early summer and then sell that for the new Nexus and Jellybean at the end of the year. If the SIII comes packed with a bad ass Exynos processor then I'll definitely do this.

One thing about the nexus though, how strong is the screen? I mean it's not gorilla glass. Is it really resistant?

Definitely a great phone, i doubt ill be trading my Nexus for it though. i have convinved an iPhone user to buy it for his next upgrade so ill get to try it out

It is similar to GG in terms of scratch resistance, from personal experiences using SII and now GN. Sand seems to be the only thing that scratches it, so make sure u dont take it unprotected to the beach . it wont be as strong though, but under normal day to day conditions it should be fine, scores well in drop tests.

will the one x get better in time

reason i ask i am due for a update next week and although i love the display on the one x the nexus seems to beat the one x in a lot of the comparisons
it runs smoother
better battery life
better camera
changeable battery
etc
etc
i feel most apps using the full power of the one x could be more than a few years away (longer than the contract anyway)
now i really want the answer to be yes. I am totally undecided what to do

Any phone gets better over time
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Short answer,
Hardware: Yes
Software: Yes
Long answer,
Hardware: HTC is getting enough PR about One X faults right now that they'll most likely at least quietly tweak the manufacturing process. If the PR gets louder, they may come clean, but that is unlikely unless issues are extremely widespread.
Software: Every single phone get's better firmware/OS over time, happens with most technology related products. The development forums are already fairly active, they'll be packed in 6 months time.
HTC have done themselves no favour by releasing a ridiculously embarrassing firmware (any firmware from a massive corporation where a main app/driver related to power is in the wrong folder is simply unforgivable). The hardware side of things looks to be disappointing, early adopters are always in my mind real testers, as these days so many flaws seem to escape Q&A, some of which you'd wonder if a phone was even tested. However the hardware flaws don't seem to yet fall under a category of anything out of the ordinary for a new product launch these days.

i remember this happened with original desire and it got better so answer is yes it will

Hardware changes rapidly and so does software. People were saying the exact same thing about dual core / quad core on computers and now it's at the point where most new applications *need* multicore CPUs in order to function.

My honest opinion would be that the nexus doesnt really beat it now and if you got that, within 6 months you would be regretting it as the nexus would be lagging behind specs wise.
To me the battery life seems to depend on the person. I came from the Galaxy S2 and the HTC beats it hands down, some people are reporting otherwise.
As for better camera, the HTC`s is probably the best on the market at the minute.

Galaxy nexus is not smoother, even though HTC isn't completely smooth when running large widgits. (Run a live wallpaper on the Galaxy Nexus and watch it crumble to its knees due to its very poor GPU)
Better camera? - you cannot be serious!
Better battery life? - the galaxy nexus doesn't even stack up to the SGS2 regarding battery life, & I've done many personal battery tests comparing to my SGS2 , and the HTC ONe X has a better battery life (even with 1.26) when compared to the SGS2.

just about every comparison i have seen the camera gets beaten by a lot of phones on the market.. Hardly seen one that says x one is the best.
But its what the real people say not the reviewers.
Thanks for the advice peeps, still swaying towards the one x even though the reviews have not been as good as expected.

There will be light at the end of the tunnel...
shedboy,
All phones will have a period to iron out the bugs and glitches. If your an early adopter than you will be a tester for HTC as I am for sure they read XDA for user experience. In 3-6 months time, new firmware will bring the HOX to a stable state. Patience wil get you a long way...

Thanks for that, it makes sence.
Just want to be really sure, after all i will have it for 2 years. I am coming from a desire.
How the hell can HTC mess up by putting the battery file in the wrong folder ? its dose not fill me up with confidence .

When you get a device at when it releases you're tend to have bugs but since HTC giving so much importance to One series you can see lot of updates happening over time. I'm sure HTC is capable of bring a really stable firmware in future. When I say future I mean maybe in 3 or 4 months.
Regular apps doesn't need Quad Core but new generation games do. nVidia is already making Game developers to design games that take advantage of the Quad Core so it's not in future it has already started. We have a strong hardware we just need some work on drivers and firmware which is fixable.

Where on earth did you get this information from? It's all wrong!
I upgraded from the Nexus to the One X and the One X is better in every way.
Seriously, the Nexus's camera is absolutely terrible, the stock firmware is laggy and the battery life sucks. It also feels cheap and the back battery cover is really flimsy. The only goood thing about it is that it's a "Nexus" device, so dev support is very good for it.
No offense, but you'd have to be incredibly stupid to get the Nexus.

Probably Yes, and the devs at XDA will surely find a way to make it perform better.
But now, Software wise The Galaxy Nexus is still better than the One X. It performs better in almost all software aspects. Since it was the device ICS was specifically designed for.

I would say definitaly!

I've had both. If the one x is kept up to date by HTC which I expect it will. The one x is MUCH better hardware wise. Sense took some getting used to but u can always root and stick a special Rom and stay more up to date that way if HTC falls by the way side. This phone is beautiful in every way. My favorite part is the way the front glass is smooth all the way to the edge of the phone. If you rub your hands across it u get this buttery smooth feel to it and its the only phone like it. They did a wonderful job making it feel like such a premium device.

Gnex to One X back to Gnex

Honestly, it's good to be back. The One X is a fine piece of hardware. Love the camera software, love the screen. Hate the placement of the power button, but that's another story.
The completely broken multitasking on the One X drove me back to my Gnex and I'm very glad to be using it again. Seriously, it's nice when the phone just works the way it's supposed to.
Too bad HTC didn't do a little better quality control before releasing the One X, unless they intended multitasking to work that way, which is even worse.
Anyway, I was never unhappy with my Gnex and now that I have seen that the grass is not greener on the One X side, I will be sticking with it.

Oh the button placement...when will HTC learn? Also, harware buttons....EW

Welcome back OP
I heard that HTC heavily restricted the multitasking on the One X. Is that the problem why you come back?
I've only had a chance of playing around with the One X in store demo cases. I do agree with you on the screen though. It's gorgeous.
If someone could run vanilla ICS on the One X then it would be godsend.

I just ordered the nexus. Looks like I did the right choice. =)

Welcome back OP I was in the fence to get this or the Evo LTE but I like so much more AOSP that I prefer this over better screen or camera

Yeah always hated power button on top, especially on these large phones, really hard for one handed operation.
And in the ICS age should be software buttons nit hardware anymore.
Only other phone that interests me besides the Nexus, is the Nexus-Four, but that beast is 6 months away.

Nice to have you back on the WINNING team lol.
I've heard the one series is pretty disappointing. I played with the One S at T-Mobile the other day and I was disgusted... comparing it to my old sensation i dont see where the improvement is...
The screen sucks. Sense 4 sucks. Coolest thing about it was the recent apps window and we have that now through AOKP. Long story short I'm glad I got the gnex over any of the One series phones. I can't even believe I was considering the One X at one point... damn quad core

So many ppl jumped on the one x bandwagon. I played with it and don't know what the hype is all about. Other than the attractive poly carbonate shell, nothing about it was that much better than the gnex.

Welcome back comrade
The only thing I really hate about my Nexus is the damn location of the headphone jack!
Why did they decide to put it at the bottom?!! it makes sense on the ipod but NOT a massive 4.6" screen phone!

I played with one the other day and it still had that sense lag and lack of smooth functioning. That's why I bailed on HTC. It's a shame since the hardware and screen are great.
What's the limitation of multitasking? How's it different from the gnex?

But then again, I pre-ordered a Nokia 808, so anything's possible.
If I like Symbian (all over again) I'll keep the 808. If not, and I can deal with the microSIM adapter, I'll use both my GNEX and 808.
Interesting times we live in...but it's very hard to beat the GNEX for sure.

Restricted is not the word. It's completely broken. Like it kills everything you have running in the background, even streaming music. And it does not even save the states of the apps like iOS does. In its current state, it's completely unusable.

I also went through this cycle.. Despite the HTC ONE X having an amazing screen and good battery life, i still found my GN to be much better.. Non-hardware buttons FTW!
It was my first HTC, and i've got to say, I really do not like the UI. Don't mean to hate, just not for me. Also found that the UI kept re-drawing for some reason.. I used Apex Launcher and even removed all the widgets from HTC stock Sense Launcher and it kept re-drawing which was annoying.. Never happened to me on any other phones..
Ended up selling my ONE X.. and super happy with my GN still

So what was wrong with the multitasking? I haven't used one, but it seems to me that something with that much power under the hood should be better at multitasking than the GNex. Did it lag? Did it close apps so you had to start over when you jump back to them?

Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X?

So I know im ought to get some bias asking this question on here but I am wondering whether I should get the Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X.
The HTC One X obviously has the better hardware (screen, processor, BT 4.0, battery, etc) but the thing the Galaxy Nexus has is the stock Android experience and priority OS updates. But im guessing that the HTC One X will have unofficial ports of stock Android.
So I guess the question is, should I go for the Galaxy Nexus that is Google and will get stock Android that is customized for it or should I get the HTC One X that has better hardward but will have to get unofficial ports of Android to it.
Edit: Accidentally posted this in general. Can mods please help me move this into QA. Sorry

That thread is about specs. If I was looking for specs then I would've gotten the HTC One X already.

I'd go for the Nexus if you can get past the pentile display. I'm a very picky person, and while I do notice it from time to time I can definitely live with it. I'm not too sure why anyone needs a quad core phone to e-mail or text someone. I do like to game, but most don't work well on touch screens, so the high end games that actually tax the thing I don't really enjoy playing. Give me Block Breaker HD over any of the high end titles anyday.
My main reason for going with the Nexus is timely updates and lots of customization. I mean, I'm using Jellybean and it's not even released yet. Coming from HTC and Sony this is definitely a nice change.

Well, if you go for a Nexus you might have to get it used if you don't order soon considering the current ban... which might make your decision a bit easier.

I have the One X now, have had the Gnex before and, am getting it again from the play store.
The One X is a very nice phone design-wise. I like the design better than the Gnex. It has HTC sense which is not that bad this time and runs very well with ICS, this is one of the reasons I got it. The One X doesn't have the software buttons like the Gnex so your getting all the use of the 4.8 inch screen, making it seem bigger. You can't remove the battery but from my experience, the battery will last all day once you charge and discharge it a few times. The One X has LTE and can fall back on HSPA+ (the faster version).
The Gnex is a pure Google phone and with Jellybean running on it that makes the choice easy for me. I'm a fan of pure Google. The Gnex is also nice design-wise with it's black screen with no logos on the front and, slim curved shape. From the videos I've watched, the Gnex running 4.1 (jellybean) runs just as good, if not better than the One X. The Gnex only has HSPA + and it seems like the slower version form my experience.
Overall I like the Gnex but, it just depends what you looking for. You can't go wrong with either. When I get mine I'll be able to really compare them side by
side. In my opinion, what ruins the carrier phones is how they put the skins on them without giving people a choice to run pure Google. A One X or S3 running pure Android 4.1 would be super phones.

HTC One X vs Galaxy Nexus
Jelly Bean

Took my Jellied out Nexus to the store the other day.
Honestly thought my Nexus was faster than the AT&T One X.

I had both (AT&T One X BTW). And although the HOX has better hardware no doubt, I like the GNEX better overall and heres why
*Its a Nexus... Updates galore!!!
*On screen buttons are more attractive to me (beats the lazy menu button the HOX uses on un-updated apps)
*Jellybean..... OMFG Jellybean!!!! I used to hate that the GNEX had a weak-ish processor but project butter made me shove my tounge down my throat. It is smoother than the HOX with ICS overall and its gonna take a while till an official update for HTC, when they smear Sense all over it. I am more than pleased with the performance
*No S-ON/S-OFF woes like HTC phones
* $10 unlimited data :-D
What i miss from the One X. The camera quality, the smooth curved feel of the screen when you glide your finger to the edge, the soft touch texture of the body, LTE speeds

Get the Nexus. Fastboot oem unlock FTW.

I bought a HTC ONE X and used if for 14 days before selling it for a Galaxy Nexus. While the HOX was a beautiful looking phone and had a better screen and faster processor I just couldn't adjust to sense ui after coming from stock android on my nexus s previously. Apart from this the set i had was suffering from overheating issues...don't know if its with all quad core processors but that phone really cant handle the hot weather here in Pakistan (46 Degrees Celcius today) and was more often than not running at 50 to 56 degrees with wifi on or when charging. This overheating was also causing weird screen issues which i researched and found was common in the HOX. Overall I dont regret getting rid of the one x and getting a galaxy nexus

I liked the One X, I had three of them. All had different hardware faults. The battery drained too fast for my liking as well. Amazing idle time, soon as you use it... drains like crazy. Even worse than the Nexus does, if you can believe such a thing.
New Nexus is a seemingly perfect phone. The Note would have been if it didn't have Touchwizz on it.

I had a htc one x but also had loads of issues with quality control. This only seems to affect the quad core one x so I think you will be fine if you get the XL. I prefer sense to stock myself . But jellybean on the nexus looks amazing and I'm getting mine this week

one x
I have them both, and love them

To be perfectly honest, you're a fool if you get a non-Nexus Android phone.

Should I buy ONE X or wait for a better phone or price drop ?

Hello
I am planning to buy HTC One X international version for about 468$ from a local store where I can test it and so on. I now wonder if I should wait for a newer phone release within the same price range or wait for HTC One X price to drop more or maybe even wait until the HTC One X+ price drop and get it instead .
So
Get The One X now for 468$
Or
Wait until it becomes cheaper like 400$ or so few weeks later
Or
Wait for the One X+ price drops to 468$ and that way I get the better version for the same price of the old one
Or
Wait for 2013 phones to be released and get one of them instead or get the One X really cheap .
What do you guys think ? It is worth waiting and for how long ?

It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

Where did the OP state your recommendations as an option? Or am I having trouble reading?

I just got a One X myself and it is a pretty decent phone but if i had the chance to go back buy a different phone i certainly would.
Firstly the battery life isn't very good i have had a lot of problems with battery.
Secondly i have had a lot of reboots and freezes with the stock ROM this might be something to do with me being with Three who are useless and haven't provided important updates etc to us.
If you can get the s3 or Nexus 4 get one of them, if you are into iOS get the iPhone you know the phone is going to be stable, get updates on time etc.
Like i said the One X is a decent phone but it does have its problems
Good Luck with you're new phone

I think the One X is a VERY good phone. Obviously there is a smudge of bias on my opinion as I own one but from having used an S3 for a 1 month period before deciding that I didn't want it, I can tell you why ***In my opinion*** the One X beats it
Firstly, the screen is devastatingly beautiful, the colors are amazing, it's got sublime viewing angles near 180 degrees if i'm honest and it's just brilliant for watching HD content on, plus the screen is big enough that you can actually appreciate media content on the screen. Being picky when it comes to screens, it pains me everytime I use the S3 and I can see the pentile pixel grid and all the whites have a green tint to them.
Tegra 3, now I know it's a bit of a gimmick, but it gives a noticable difference in graphical quality than any comparible phone without tegra such as the Nexus 4 or the S3, also works beautifully with the screen
Design, much like the One X's screen, it's body is really well styled, the materials feel very premium and the handset just feels good, the design just has that wow factor which I felt when I first saw the HTC Legend. The S3 in this category cannot hold a candle to the one x, when I feel that glossy polycarbonate, my mind scream CHEAAAAPP!! I know it's not and I know it's the same material that the One X uses but it just doesn't feel like a £400 phone should. Also opening up the battery cover on the white version, you just see disgusting cheap white plastic everywhere which for a picky person like me isn't that great.
Camera, now this is a very subjective area and I much prefer the pictues the One X produces, the S3's pics feel very very saturated in terms of colors where I feel the One X is more representative of the true color, again, this is entirely subjective and that's how I felt.
Sense UI is amazing, yes it's heavy and yes it's buggy sometimes but it's so much more polished than Touchwiz feels and I just like the interface more, there's more "customisability" and it's a nice nice interface to use. I prefer the vanilla android UI just because it's really good nowadays but at the time of purchasing, there were no other phones that bragged the same specs which came with stock Android, and even now if I could change the One X for the Nexus 4, I don't think I would for the reasons above.
Final reason I got a One X is because I really like the fact no one knows what it is and that not many people own one. It's like an exclusive club which people who appreciate Sense can join!

We seem to have veered off topic.
Waiting is a mugs game, it'll always get cheaper, there will always be something better coming along.

What BenPope said. Basically the choices boil down to pretty much buying One X+ if you can afford it, otherwise One X, or you could wait for about a year (or longer) for Tegra 4 devices to come at around mentioned price range.
I bought One X about two weeks ago and all I can say is that I don't regret that decision for a moment.
