Was lucky enough to have a go with a One X at an HTC event on Friday and it's just as good as you'd expect it.
It's super light, screen is amazing and clear (perhaps not as bright as the AMOLED on the One S, mind). Sense 4 runs with NO issues at all, and the new camera features are spot on.
If you're due an upgrade then definitely see if you can have a go with one before hand - you won't be disappointed!

can you tell us how it felt in hand, did you miss the metal construction?
Congratulations! How about battery life and video quality?
Felt nice and smooth, light as hell (think Samsung lightness). Didn't miss the metal at all, the polycarbonate was lush
Think the One S was lighter though, but then again it is smaller
Battery life, can't comment as I don't have one and the demo unit wasn't running on a mobile network (no SIM card in it) but seemed to handle most things without any issues. Video seemed OK, wasn't something I particularly looked at, but it's nice to be able to take stills whilst still recording the video
How did it compare to the two phones in your signature? Did it convince you to purchase one?
Was the product still a beta / pre-production model or was it now the final release version?
Did you see a white and grey version of the one X any opinion on the looks? How about how it felt in hand with the matt back and the gloss sides?
7 days and counting...
Thanks for the infos!
Did you felt any overheating after using it?
your comments remind me of the Sensation XL
on paper its not so convincing but everyone who lays his hands on it falls in love
1. Heat up? Hell no!
2. Final release - non-beta units
3. White only
4. I only had my Sensation with me when I went but I'd buy the One S or the One X as a replacement. As a replacement to my Nexus, I'd get either as well. The One S is awesome, the AMOLED screen pops as you'd expect and it's SUPER light weight but I'd have to go for the One X
Seriously considering getting a One X
excellent, can't wait for this Titan!
OMG cant wait!!
Did you take any pictures? how was picture quality?
Didn't take any pictures of the units, no - didn't see the point as there are loads online already - but picture quality on the phone seems to be good. I don't use my phone for pictures so wasn't something I was particularly bothered about looking at
Eddy, what was the screen like in daylight/sunlight?
This old Desire is ready for an upgrade
Dunno, it was indoors on Friday evening (8pm) so no day light to speak of!

HTC have said in their press conference in Barcelona that battery life is high on their list for this device - so, we just have to trust them

I don't care about the little freaky glitches or that the battery only lasts a day with moderate usage(typical android and pretty good for htc). The phone is damn sexy, HTC sense for once works for me and I like it. The screen is out of this world, and it takes a second for my eyes to accept the low resolution, and clarity of the real world when I take my eyes of the screen. I love the quality of pictures it takes and really expected far worse from an HTC camera. The design and feel is sexy. Not to heavy and not to light, 4.7 inches and it feels like a much smaller phone. Little cute LED to let me know what I am missing(not the strobe light that upsets my wife at night on the galaxy nexus). Its the first phone that makes me want to whisper love poems to it.
Now where are the damn screen protectors and cases worthy of her beauty?
There is a white one x sitting in my amazon cart right now, taunting me. I bought the GNote at launch and I love it but its not a bad idea to have a smaller phone for other situations. The one x seems pretty damn impressive. I have a feeling that with it not being sold in the US in quad core form, it will hold its value pretty well. At least until the inevitable sgs3 drops damnit Im addicted to phones

Thats true the value in the states will stay high. I loved my note but this phone just feels special.
In love
I'm definitely in love with the One X too! I have the Gnex and it's getting pretty jealous right now, lol. Screen is so much better and it's so fast. Also real pleased with all the dev going on, makes me feel better about my purchase. I've had a few screen glitches but only since I rooted and went with custom roms. Although I unlocked the bootloader in less then 24 hours so not much chance to give stock a good run. My employer offset the cost and put in $300 towards my new baby so it was a bargain!!! Very pleased overall.
Pulled the trigger on a white one. One day shipping should put it in my hands before I leave for vacation weds afternoon

Noon. Leave it naked...the best way to appreciate its beauty.
Well no glitches or problems for me! bought a white version and I LOVE IT! what a fantastic phone! Very happy to be a HTC customer!
I love the phone too just wished the battery was a little better but the camera is pretty good and the best i have seen on a phone. It's light feels great. Really good screen over saturates on some colours however the quad core is a power house.
I noticed you on AT&T do you have the snap dragon version? Or did you get the unlocked global version?

I get 4G on AT&T in Texas on mine.
Oh, and I completely echo the sentiment of the OP: This phone is the ****.
Yep, I got the grey one since I dont rly like the white color. White is timeless, agreed, and can look pretty elegant (and expensive), but I am more the dark type of person (color preference, not personality or style ) like more the decent, non attention colors. Grey just fits me quite well, and yes, its one damn beauty.
Sense 4.0 still got its issues, like pretty borked memory management (Rosie Reloads anyone? Drives me crazy sometimes) and bugged Tegra 3 drivers. Tegra 2 Games and Apps mostly run horrible, and the Tegra 3 enabled Games start to lag quite abit when alot interaction is going on.
Software-wise, and performance-wise, this phone is capable of so much more. Just look that the Transformer Prime with Tegra 3. It has a similar screen resolution, but almost EVERYTHING runs effin smooth on this baby. That is just ONE proof that HTC ****ed up the rushed release with its buggy software. Cant wait for a new, optimized and more ironed out firmware upgrade!
Camera Performance isn't final as well. I guess the bad performance is due to some missing optimizations, the hardware is great.
Overall, I dont regret switching from my Galaxy S2 i9100 to the One X, knowing it can do even better than it already does.
With all the bad press, reviews an bug reports on here latley i rekon it has put a lot of people off getting this awesome peice of kit so just to clear the air when all is said and done would you still get the One X again i would for sure

It's not always that simple. There are three types of issues:
1) S/W which is correctable over time. HTC's future rests on the success of the One line so I have confidence the X will be updated as frequently as necessary. A lot of the issues reported seem (to me) to be s/w related.
2) H/W issues which fall in to two categories. The first being random production defects which don’t affect every device equally. The second category is consistent failings that affect every device (like the black One S's coating chipping off). The majority of h/w issues I've seen posted seem to fall in to the first category.
3) Design flaws. The Sensation antenna-gate issue is an example of this. So far the One X doesn't seem to have any of these.
Even with all that's been posted I ordered one that's due to arrive tomorrow. If it performs well, it stays. If it's flaky (beyond what's reasonable for a new device), it goes back.
Everyone's expectations are different and both the happy and unhappy need to be respected.
I like the phone and it will not be going back. There isn't a single phone on the market in my opinion that matches it when it comes to its combination of looks and specifications and shear wow factor. Its taken me almost 8 months to pick a phone that met all of my requirements after coming from the original Desire.
I am not a hard core phone gamer (But i can be if i want to be now), I am not someone that needs endless memory cards for tonnes of music and video (I have a PC for this, transfer rates are super fast, so it really isn't a hard ship, plus there is dropbox), I do not need a replaceable battery as I have a technet 7000mah portable which is great, its also just as portable as a spare battery anyway (Not that I have had any cause to use it yet).
I also have the white version, so shouldn't have any paint issues.
Yes it has Sense 4.0 which tends to hang every now and then, yes the video camera isn't as good as it will be, all of which are software, and WILL be fixed. Yes it has a rattle when you shake it like an idiot next to your ear, but I will never need to do that unless there is a Maraca app!
Its a mass produced product, as is the case with EVERYTHING mass produced there are batches that have faults and experience issues. Look at the mighty Apple I-Phone! Slight rant over
Yes of course ure correct thats why i feel people need a better idea of those who have the device are they happy knowing and waiting for fixes or would they have choosing different. My reason for post is that theres a lit of people went down the one S route due to all the posts here. Of course there is reason to complain just wanted people to no that im sure there are others like me happy knowing that the fixes will come an the device is great
Mod or Die
The difference in price between the S and X isn't that far apart. I think I would get a sense of buyers remorse 6 months down the line if I went for the S.

Good thread. I was surprised to find so many negative comments about the One X on here. It's cutting edge, possibly even bleeding... I bought mine in the knowledge that there may be some teething problems, but I'm more likely to still have something "current" in 18 months as the 2 year contract nears it's end. There are't many phone's that is true of.

I came to the One X from a Desire. This is my 3rd HTC mobile and I've loved all of them. I have really enjoyed having the Desire and it's been superb for build quality, reliability and always looked great. Having dozens of lovely roms to play with once it was rooted made all the difference after I became bored with Sense.
So, it was a no brainer for me to choose the One X. Quad core, Tegra 3, that lovely huge, curved screen and ICS were too good to pass up. The phone is stunning and I was most surprised at the looks when I put it beside my Desire. There really is no comparison at all.
It's incredibly fast. I've never used a phone so quick before. The new minimalist Sense is a joy to use and ICS is a great improvement for Android. The screen feels like silk to touch and hasn't attracted much in the way of fingerprints at all. It's lovely to use, very responsive, accurate and image quality is mind blowingly good. Although I don't have the official headphones, Beats Audio does sound fab through a pair of Sennheisers. It ramps up the bass, which is the weakest part of the closed back headphones I have. And so on and on. This mobile is amazing in many ways.
That's the pro's. The con's are:
1. Screen and case don't match up properly. There's a minute gap between the screen and the case along the top and down the left side of mine. This is not normal and classed as a fault by HTC (I asked them). After only 1wk, there's a tiny white strand of cloth under my screen. It can't be seen until the screen is black and it's in the corner. But, as I said to T-Mobile and HTC on the phone today; if it's collected something under the screen after 1wk, what is it going to look like after a few months? HTC said it's a definite fault and should be returned for a replacement. I will be doing so next week.
2. Gripes with the Tegra 3 performance. I know others have seen this on a few games, but for my Desire to easily outperform this phone when playing Stair Dismount is a real disappointment. Secret Exit Ltd answered my request for help earlier very quickly, so I'm really chuffed that a dev is prepared to at least try. I'm not sure whether this is something to do with the game or the phone, so will wait and see. Still a pain though. Interestingly, Stair Dismount also plays very well on my ASUS Transformer, which has Tegra 2.
3. Slight worry about the power button. As the Desire had other hardware buttons, I could assign one of those to wake the phone to take the strain off the power button being used so much. Not possible with this phone. I'm hoping it will be ok.
4. The camera lens cover. If it were Gorilla glass, I'd be happy. If it were recessed enough to not be threatened with being scratched every time I put down my phone, it wouldn't be a problem. So, it begs the question: why the hell did they make the lens cover out of simple glass and the rest of the case out of materials seemingly unbreakable in normal use? Very bad design decision.
5. Lack of external memory could become an issue. Yes, 32Gb is pretty huge. But, so are many of the new games, with 200Mb becoming more common. Not to mention the capability of the phone to play HD content. I also rip music for mobile playing as flac or at least 320k mp3. This makes an album anything up to 800+Mb in size. The internal memory won't take much to fill. None of these are really that big a deal for me, so I'm just being picky with this one!
I've heard various mentions of the battery life being poor on the One X. Considering what this phone does, I'm reasonably happy with having comparable performance as I had with the HTC Desire. Generally, with moderate-heavy use, I'm beginning to think about charging late evening after taking it off charge when I get up in the morning. That's fine by me. I carry a Veho Pebble in my car, so can always put the mobile on charge when I'm out anyway.
I think that's it

I think you have it spot on. Luckily I have no issues with my screen and no dust collected anywhere. Using a pouch to keep it nice and safe and it survived a small drop. I don't understand the decision not to make lens from gorilla glass unless its something to do with picture quality. Ordered a flip case as a good work around. I am just debating if I should sell desire or keep as a backup phone

Search for HTC One X Antenna Reception Test at Youtube. I have tried it myself and indeed the signal did dropped. Does that count as design flaw?

Seriously? A 10% dBm drop is, in your mind, a "design flaw?" If you're looking for something to be concerned about the YouTube poster's best performance at 89 dBm is pretty atrocious. Two floors away from my router I get better results on my SGS2. The weaker the signal the more any device will be impacted by obstructions (like bone). You'll see drops and gains like that simply by changing the phone's orientation to the router. As devices get thinner with more and more stuffed in to them antenna placement gets more complicated to avoid interference. That video doesn't concern me a bit (unless 89 dBm is typical Wi-Fi performance).
Had mine for 8 days now, it has no rattle that i've noticed, the screen glitches occasinally in browser, it sense restarts fairly often, battery life imo is decent my stats are typical of others. I had a single occasion where died/crashed, no power button or at least not the usual one press so held it and a small dialogue came up after a while saying 'hold for 2 more seconds to restart' which i did and the fone restarted fine, oh and i've had a single overheat whilst streaming a movie.
I had an early release hero which had some serious bugs which improved dramatically and an early desire s which i found pretty much ironed out from the start.
I'm very happy with my one x overall as any issues it has are teething problems which can be sorted.

I have a few annoyances with my One X so I went to try out an S3 with high hopes seeing as it's been getting a lot of praise.
Thoughts -
Looks & design: The S3 is so ugly it's criminal. Samsung must have the worst designers in the world. It felt like a cheap, plastic toy, too. Awful.
The camera: The software seemed worse for the camera and the pictures didn't seem as good as my X.
The video: Again, virtually no different to the X here.
The screen: Well, what can one say. The X screen blows the GS3 screen out of the water. The AMOLED really looks dated now, aside from the black levels which are rarely seen anyway by most people. The colours are better on the LCD and it's noticeably sharper.
The software: TouchWiz is just plain horrible. It's possibly the worst designed software in the world, despite feeling snappy.
Performance: Virtually no differences here, both fast and smooth.
Audio quality: It looks like they've used the lowest end Wolfson DAC in the S3, the audio didn't sound good at all. I thought this would be a stand out point, but it wasn't.
The battery life reports only seem to be marginally better than the X from what I can see... so no real benefit here.
Have I missed something or have the Samsung fanboys just convinced themselves the S3 is good to try and cover up their disappointments? HTC have done a far better job in my opinion and they got here months in advance.
Lmao. You're definitely a fanboy.

What I really wonder about is samsung's cohesion between the departments, their marketing is going on about this made for humans thing, and stuff about nature, so the phone is more rounded like a pebble and even the live wallpapers are nature themed. Why then did they put this chrome edge all around the phone and why does the blue one have this faux brushed metal look? just doesn't look like it was all properly thought through.

Good point. When I looked at the phone, it just didn't seem nature-like to me... Or looking like a pebble. It would have been better to take on a spaceship thing. Haven't taken it for a spin yet so can't comment on the software... Except that from what I see on blogs and videos... Well, I hate Touchwiz.
Designwise... The One X blows it overthe edge.

I think if they had given it a matte finish like the one x it would be more pebble like.
audio is made using Wolfson Micro WM1811 which is
Like WM8994 in Galaxy S / Nexus S, except:
1x stereo DAC instead of 2x.
2x 2W Speaker amp instead of 2x 1W
Smaller and probably cheaper, same sound quality expected.
analysis by François SIMOND aka supercurio
I do personally think (i had i9000) that HTC One X makes better sound when pushed volume to the limit
You are definitely wrong. I managed to play around a demo unit of GS3 for about an hour and compare it with my brother HOX.
GS3 feels better on hand because of the round shape.
The back cover feels like cheap plastic but luckily front face looks extremely good and high quality.
Unlike GS3, HOX screen's glass pops out above the bezel which looks a bit awkward. HOX screen is just 4.7inc but feel very big because the whole front face is cover by glass.
SAmoled HD screen is very good and comparable to HOX screen.
Sound quality on GS3 is definitely better and louder than HOX.
GS3 camera though not as sharp as HOX, it has better contrast. To be honest, looking pictures on GS3 is more enjoyable than HOX.
Touchwiz improve a lot and feel lighter. Sense 4 on the hand, still laggy and feels like a downgrade from Sense 3.5
Removable battery and sd slot is a big plus for GS3.
Playing just an hour with GS3 but it makes me feel enjoyable and feel like there a lot of surprised in this device that I yet to find out. HOX is a bit boring. I just play HOX for less than half an hour and feel nothing new.
Just my opinion. Don't take it seriously

I disagree I love the pebble blue version.
Designed from a pebble WTF Does the owner of Samsung got a collection of pet rocks That phone is freakin UGLY, I hope they enjoy their pebble phone while my super smooth HOX looks AMAZING and runs AMAZING! No defects so don't come in here and start that sh^t like you are talking in your thread on ur forum, those were early batches, they fixed that issue. Actually my ONE X is an early version SH23 defect free made in China, looks great.
They got a thread over there at there rock nest about 100 pages comparing the S3 and One X.
some people will love it some will hate it im in the hate it category I think its ugly as sin, but then its a good thing that I dont have one then
It's been 10 day with my first android mobile gotta say its blown me away, my 4s is packed away eBay soon. Didn't choose the s3 because all Samsung phones feel way to cheap and doesn't look as good as the X. So what if the s3 has better benchmarks its not like the X isnt a beast

Quoted for truth.
Been using the One X and SIII parallel for a week now. There is no way the SIII can match One X's screen, camera and design.
But apart of that, the SIII takes it all. From the extendable memory over the heat problem while gaming and especially in battery life. That even on stock battery and I'll get an extended one soon. Did I mention, there is no locked or halfassed unlockable bootloader?
After a week of using both, if I had to stick with only one of them, I'd go with the SIII for sure.

i neither love nor hate the design of galaxy s3 its okey dokey. Samsung is very good for hardware but they sucks when it comes to software. So this time i got HTC One x (my first htc phone). Previously i had a smasung device (samsung wave - its a bada pone) and what the hell i have to wait for whole year for official upgrade Thats kinda sucks.
Sigh wish people would stop trying to justify their buy by attacking the other phone, its like two friends dating sisters.

You know what I am gettin sick and tired of these threads. Search first. So many threads exactly as this that has been shut down. You could get your answers there. Try the main general thread to. Many people are talking about the phone. From now on if I see threads like yours will be reporting. Pointless. Make your own judgement or watch on YouTube comparison videos.

I'm a HTC fanboy arguably, however I disagree and agree with you. Here's my thoughts on the GSIII versus HOX:
Software: Sense 4.0 is certainly better than TouchWiz and there really is no arguing about it. It's things like the ability to set Scene's and Theme's and get a real personalization of your phone. On the other hand TouchWiz feels snappier, but it's starting to feel dates. It's extremely lightweight and barebones and the killer for me is that it doesn't offer much more functionality than Vanilla ICS, therefore why bother. The Keyboard and Messaging application on the One X is much more useable and better looking than the GSIII and the Mail application is bliss compares to the GSIII too.
Design: The GSIII design is really dates in the respect that you could erase all branding of 'Samsung' from the GSI AND GSIII, but if you put then alongside you would still be able to guess one was the others successor. With the One X and Sensation, there's not much that looks the same. The buttons have changed, the Camera location etc, which brings me to a flaming. Who the hell at HTC was allowed go design a raised camera lens? Put the thing down on a table and it scratches SO easy!
Camera: I don't think there's much in here for either of them, both phones use 8 MP sensors and I must say myself, I'm not really into camera's. If anything I'm slightly disappointed that both companies failed to improve either camera. The One X uses an 8 MP like the Sensation (despite being a different camera) and the GSIII uses the exact same Camera as the GSII, which in my experience wasn't actually that good. When it comes to the camera at least HTC have made a slight improvement by bumping the camera to 1.3 MP, however for some reason Samsung downgraded theirs, the GSII used a 2.0 MP sensor where as the GSIII uses a 1.x MP sensor.
The whole 'designed by nature' thing just goes right over me. I'm sorry but it looks like a bus run over a clay mould of a GSII and the GSIII is the stretched & curved result. The hardware buttons (as in the Menu button specifically and Hone) are well out of date in the respect that the One X no longer uses a Menu button, however the GSIII has that physical Hone button and the Menu button, basically a 2011 phone design.
Overall I think the Samsung GSIII is an extremely over hyped phone. It is ugly, but then it's old looks. I think the only thing to shout about is the processor, which is arguable better than the HOX's, however where are you really going ti ever see that improved speed? This may seem biased, but it's just my personal opinion.

Hey guys, first of all I'd like to apologize for posting a question thread in a general section.
I've had EVO 3D GSM for almost a year (9 dec 2011 is a date of purchase) and now it is time to move on. Poor baby was a victim of numerous experiments, including dangerous ones. Evo 3D brought me into android ROM development and I really, really love this phone. But it has lots of marks and scratches, aluminium rim is bent, battery doesn't last longer than 4 hours, digitizer is almost dead, registering random touches while the phone is sitting on the desk not being touched by anyone, sometimes there's an opposite situation: you can lean your whole capacitive corpse on the screen and it wouldn't even suspect anything.
Recently I've got Nexus 4 16gig from my friends for a couple weeks of testing. I was excited as duck, brand new google nexus phone blah blah blah... It ended up being returned to where it came from. Surprisingly, I didn't like it at all. It looks very nice, the glass on the screen is very thin, the glass on the back looks classy, it weights like a solid phone not like a cheap-o toxic chinese toy (this is a perfect description for GNexus' weight IMO). But... Touchscreen responsiveness is awful. I mean, yes, it's better than my iPAQ PPC bought back in 2003, but come on, even the possessed digitizer on my e3d is capable of registering touches more accurately and hell of a lot faster. The glass panel on the back looks sexy, but it is ducking slippery! A couple days ago n4 just slipped away from my hands in the subway, it was saved by the god himself and by tight 3.5mm headphone jack. And, of course, 16gb is not enough at all.
Enough of that, I suppose. The question is, is the One X a good thing to switch to? Are there any problems with this sexy phone, are there any disappointments waiting for me after purchasing the One X?
And another question, is the One X+ that much better than OX? In my region the price difference is above $300, I don't want to waste any money on some useless stuff.
Thanks in advance, folks. My daily driver smartphone is a very important part of my life, and I don't want to rush.
And if you think that One X isn't a good thing to have, which android smartphone would you suggest?
It is onex forum. So yeah, I can definitely recommend this phone as I am using it since April and still love it, I don't even think about upgrading any time soon.
Some people may tell you wait till new phones are introduced which is happening pretty soon, just couple of months. But if wait for a phone you can spend all your life for waiting for a perfect phone without having one

@ the right price, I think you can't go wrong with the HOX. IMO the X+ isn't worth the price diference.
Comparing it to its arch rival (SIII), i think the HOX, with its amazing looks and Sense will always win the day. But thats in my case, I really like sense... (some love it, some hate it)
And now that I've bought a Tablet, the HOX battery is just right for me, since the everyday usage as dropped a little.
Adding that to being unbrickable (no S-OFF) and the absolutely awsome support here in XDA, its just great for a stock (or not to adventurous) folk like me.
Wrapping up, I think it is one of the best daily driver smartphone: great looks and feel, awsome Sense experience, and (at least in my circle) its really exclusive and as the WOW effect.
I upgraded from the EVO 3d to one x and I am disappointed its little to nowhere faster at most things, though the camera is miles better I think beats is a huge step down from srs equalizer too its not as good. Imho I'd wish I had stuck it out and waited for HTC's next big flagship, luckily I can pay for early upgrade lol p.s. iv had to send my one x for repair already too once as has my friend with his where as my EVO got thrown dropped dunked and all without any faults. The only things I much prefer are the hdspa speed increase, the great camera, the immense screen is great too, and the feel of the device is great. But deffo go one x + if your going to make it a one range

Beats and SRS are just stock equalizers with fixed preset. Yes, there may be some good audio chip or something, but come on, I'm using PowerAMP atm and I have a custom preset for every song in my playlist. Idc about beats or srs. So despite that the only thing that disappointed you after switching from e3d is the fact that one x turned out to be less stress-resistable in a single occasion?

Could you tell me a little more about HOX+? I'm aware of the fact that its CPU is overclocked a bit, and it has 64gig of memory (which is twice as much as I need), and it has some badass red styling, but despite all that, is there really any significant difference?

I just used it for a little, and the main edge for me was the 4.1 in it. Now that the JB update is finally rolling out for the HOX, that edge is gone (I repeat, this is just my opinion). I prefer the HOX Styling (really disliked the red capacitive buttons).
And pairing that to the fact that the price diference is quite large, paying so much for an incremental update doesn't make sense to me.
The Tegra 3's newer version and the 64Gb of storage are not worth the extra cash IMO. As the real world tasks and usage are just as great on one handset as on the other...

Hi,
in MY OPINION, I think it's a good change, i've tooked the same path, owner of HTC EVO 3D for almost a year with almost the same problems as you, and now at 1 week ago changed for this ONE X, I did not went for HTC ONE X+, because it does not compensate the money, I'm very happy with the phone.
Go for it.

Also guys, a very quick question: I've just heard that it is possible that white HOX comes in several finishes, including 100% gloss and 100% satin. Is it true? It doesn't seem to be true though...

No not just the eq, it's more the whole package. Also I hate that YouTube stutters at times, no matter if the video is fully buffered or not, audio also stops when a notification noise comes on which is poor, don't get me wrong its great phone and I wouldn't have anything else but the one x+ at this present time, but from my view the jelly bean update adding USB otg and non moving wallpaper when moving screens is a big step forward, so it's a good choice if you need a phone at the present time and won't wait to get one
