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

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
Mod or Die

Can't argue with that but I've never once had battery life so poor on a phone that I needed to carry around a second battery.

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.

i simply Google htc x v nexus and 3 of the videos i watched the nexus came out on top.
anyway. i have decided. HTC one x for me Just have to wait until the 17th
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.

A bit harsh. I'd rather see this on the home page than yet another duplicate thread on flickering, gaps, yellow dots, and battery life. A lot of GN owners are looking at the One X and OP went to the trouble of actually creating and contributing content. You?
And the GN is far from a Toyota. It's got an older processor but the fact that it runs AOSP and has the biggest dev community on the forum means it has a lot of life left in it. The GSM version's also available for $399 directly from Google making it a good value.

Lol not really as the nexus browser is faster than the one x's. A Toyota corolla with a V12 engine
OK I'm the one who made a switch from Nexus to one x. I can feel the difference.
I love the development community in Galaxy Nexus but this phone is amazing. I'd have to say that when galaxy Nexus came out 5 months back it was amazing, now one x wins.

Probably the worst comparison ever. Ferrari to a toyota would be like the One X to the One V.............
I'd put this more of like a Ferrari 458 vs an Audi R8 with both having their pros and cons.

It'd be sad if it didn't win.......a flagship phone coming about a half year after the Galaxy Nexus, it better win haha
i sold my GS II about 5 weeks ago and considered the Nexus, but i think the next one will be by Motorola for some reason. i also noticed that the dev section was too large to look through all at once, so i'd rather be checking it from the beginning. if my One X arrives in full working condition, then i'm going to be happy. the sound has to be better than the GS II and if the audio in video is too bad to hear with music, then i'll just buy a camera.
If we're going to use a car analogy, the Nexus is kind of like a Caterham or Lotus Elise. Modest power, but very lightweight. The One X is like a big BMW. Great top end performance, but takes a bit to get it going.
Each to their own!
I liked the video. I've never been a fan of the Amoled colours and this video really highlights it. Much more natural looking colours on the One X, its definitely got the best mobile phone screen by a large margin.
Only problem with the video is it was shot on an iPhone, shame on you
I own a Nexus and a One X. If the One X was the flagship Google phone it would be far better than the GN. The GN is a great phone but its slow and that is just about the only negative thing I can say about the GN. I have nothing bad to say about the One X besides HTC Sense.

The galaxy nexus is definitely not slow. It might be slower than the One X yes but it certainly isn't a slow device.
The Galaxy Nexus is a great device, as are all the Nexus devices. That's the point of them...to push the Android handset standards forward. But, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
The One X is the top dog, for now. We are all early adopters and a good number of us probably spent more on the phone than we should have...just like the early adopters of the Galaxy Nexus (I remember it going on expansys-usa for like $800). Currently, the Galaxy Nexus remains a great choice if you don't want to be tied down to a carrier. At $399 I think it's probably the best value choice when it comes to buying an unlocked device.
As far as development, yes the Nexus undoubtedly has tons of development going on for it, as do and will all Nexus devices. However, I think the HTC One X will at least equal it in dev activity, as it is such a promising platform.
I managed to get a One X today in a trade for my GN + $100.......a steal for me haha. GN is every bit as fast as One X, maybe better in some parts.
but yea, One X browser is definitely a bit laggier with that text rewrapping crap, ruins the flow.
Also, screen flickering issue is a bit annoying on light greys....hopefully a software issue. Praying battery life can be optimized with Tegra 3 and that stupid power saving core. As of now, i'm expecting the worst in terms of battery.
Sense has some bugs....non-sense widgets are laggy when scrolling thru them on home screen
phone in general is great though, digging the unibody design. Lets see if I can stay happy with battery, if not....will try and trade for an S4 One X

I did an even trade for Galaxy Nexus on craigslist and I think I got a flawless device. No issues with it!

I have also made the step from the Nexus to the One X. In CF Bench you really see the difference. It's almost dubbel the score of the Nexus. I loved the Nexus community and I did build CM9 odexed on my own. The browser is not really a problem as you can download Quick ICS browser from Play store and you have the same browser as on the Nexus with the same speed. MIUI and CM9 is just around the corner so it won't take long and we are up to the best phone on earth. Also the screen is so much brighter than the Nexus screen. It's your decision but I always have to have the latest greatest...
Well initial thoughts on battery are that its absolutely ****ty....like 15 min of screen time with 9-10% loss......tegra 3 is starting to turn out as bad as I thought

I actually like the browser, the way the text wraps around the screen size. makes reading much more of a pleasure at the expense of only a split second resizing time.

thats strange, i've found the battery life to be really great, much better than my old sensation. With moderate use (say at least an our of screen use, plus 10 calls, and an hour of music at the gym), Its still at at 65% when i plug it in when i go to bed.
great video put for me the one x is the winner
I find the battery life on the HOX way better than the GNEX.

I define slow as noticeable lag in the normal operation of the device. I'm not comparing it to the One X, since i don't think that is fair. The GN is definitely slow even in comparison to raining champs among the dual cores.
Hi all,
I've tried searching high and low for this information to no avail.
I'm looking to purchase a new phone in the next few days and I've been looking at the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII. As an HTC HD2 user for the last 3(ish) years (running multiple Android ROMS), I really want to stick with HTC, plus I'm a nVidia fanboi. However, a lot of the benchmarks out their say the the SIII smokes the One X in pretty much all aspects, even though the One X has the best stats on paper.
I know there is a huge One X update coming soon that improves performance, but I was wondering if there has been an objective benchmark study of these two devices using the same custom ROM? No bloatware or fancy widgets running in the back ground, just a head-to-head raw power benchmark on a level playing field?
It just seems strange to me that that the One X runs around 90-150 in linpack while the SIII runs in the 120-180 region using standard factory settings. Even the guy in the Youtube video I watch was pretty confused.
I'm likely to still go for the HTC One X as I just prefer the looks and the company themselves. But I don't know if I'll be able to shake the annoyance that I may have bought the "inferior" device when it comes to performance.
Any information you have would be great.
Regards,
Dan
Generic games will run better on the S3, but THD games on Tegra3 smoke everything else out there.
There is no level playing field, because nobody is playing the same game.

Benchmarks don't mean anything...
In real life only performance matters
If you love Sense then u will surely love Sense 4.1 its super fast and super smooth
Gaming experience is better on HOX and in THD games u get extra effects which are just awesome and many Tegra optimized games are going to be released this year
I have used both phones and i personally i like HOX better and HOX screen is the best
Latest benchmarks easily are more than S3 after the new update
Agreed that benchmarks don't mean much except comparing between personal setups but I got an unlocked quad core S3 and an unlocked quad core One X. I have CM10 with a kernel overclocked to 1704 on S3...Antutu 14000. Hox stock out of the box 12500. Once I root and get a kernel on there...wow! My offer still stands for a generous donation for someone to PM me later today and guide me through the unlock/ root process. I have been a Sammy guy for my last 5 phones except the EVO LTE which I also have s on unlocked.

The One X update is already outed and brings massive boost to the entire UI
as for games, its a know quantity, THD games are hotter on the One X, Gameloft games runs better on non tegra
we also have a gaming boost app which we worked hard to optimize and squeeze out the gaming power of Tegra3, renovate gaming boost + faux kernel for optimal gaming on sense roms, CM roms all you need is faux or any kernel with single core step removed and GPU unlocked
I bought HOX after playing around with my bros S3 for two weeks. AND, its the best decision I've made in quite a while. Screen is twice as better than s3, I've always loved sense, touchwiz is too newbie like, ( thats my opinion plz ) AND, HOX IS SUPER SEXY!!!
THD games rock, loving Heroes call atm

After 3 months, I sold my S3 and keep my HOX and had never regretted it as the latest 2.1.7 updates has made HOX one the the fastest and smoothest phone ever, and not forgetting the awesome and featured packed's Sense 4.1!:good:
S3's UI is only for kids in the kindegarden...simply awe-full, just like kids' drawings!

HOX has a higher stock score for both quadrant and the more popular Antutu
SGS3 had earlier higher benchmarks in these programs as it had 4.0.4 against the HOX which was only on 4.0.3

Anoo benchmarks mean nothing but since I updated my phone on monday and ran benchmarks comparing to my girlfriends s3.. One X is now on par with s3 although IMO I feel my phone has hit a smooth spot, and is pretty much on par with s3 on smoothness so it's either get the s3 with touchwiz or sense.. There the only 2 things I see different about the devices since recent update!

I Have a HOX, my Nephew has a SgSIII. Both on stock roms and unrooted.
downloaded Quadrant on both today just playing around... and the HoX had the better result. Bear in mind also that i have about 100 apps installed and he only has about 3... (Not sure if this would make a difference) But my general score was about 1000 higher than his,
regards to gaming we both have a drag racing game and a game called temple run. When we were both playing side by side his phone looked like it was lagging ever ever so slightly compared to mine... and the graphics and screen were better. And performance.
Oh yeah and Tegra HD games are absolutely awesome! Download some!
So thats my opinion. After playing with his SgSIII for a few hours today i dont think its all its looked out to be. HoX all the way!
Does htc one x has better support for cyanogenmod roms? Since i am a galaxy s3 user had a best deal here to get shifted to one x.. .Please let me know guys...does it has good development support than s3 has???
And cynogenmod team is going to leave exynos based development... Thats why i am planning to shift....
Am i doing right thing....any helping replys will be appreciated...

Not sure if you should trade in.
The tegra 3 is really starting to get out-dated IMO. In the end it is your decision. So yeah.
Personally i wouldn't do it.
Not sure if it's a "helping" reply but why don't you consider Nexus4 if you want stock Android experience? You'll get the fastest updates and none of the inevitable bugs from porting stock Android to a device that wasn't supposed to have it. Also Google would not abandon it sometime in the future like CM are doing with Exynos devices (if it's true).

Word. My htc one x screen broke and they told me repair costs 283 euros. Told them to shove it up their ass. 16 euros more and i have a nexus 4. So you should really go for a Nexus 4 if you like CM.
The only problem i have here is the fact that in austria we have no google play store. But hopefully this person i met from germany is trust worthy enough and will send me a nexus 4 once it's out.
Thank u very much guys...i'll skip of buying one x and wait for nexus 4...but here in india we cant buy them through playstore... Lg is going to sell almost double of price here thats what i am fearing about to buy

Personally, I think the One X is better than the Nexus 4. Early benchmarks show that the Nexus has a severely underclocked GPU, and easily overheats, getting throttled even more. The One X also has a better screen IMO.

I wanted to move to nexus 4, rumours say it will be priced at 34-35k here in India, so my plans for upgrade are cancelled atm

34-35 K? I doubt it You should be able to import it at a lesser price than that.

Yeah... You said it.. early benchmarks.
We've seen how the HoX did before and after certain benchmarks. So there's no reason not to believe that it won't be the same in nexus 4's case.
Then you have multiple pros for the Nexus 4:
Bigger battery (2100 mAh) is nothing remarkable. However, 28nm is more power efficient which would mean we should definitely be experiencing a better battery life in the Nexus 4 than on the One X. Even if stand by times won't be as good, the battery life with screen on is going to be better. (see galaxy s3).
For people that want their phone for regular day to day usage, s4 chip is supposed to be better and faster. (EVEN in gaming it's going to stump the Tegra3)
Google getting hands on quad core - that must actually mean that they will actually do their best to optimize their phone to run quad-core. And since it is google we are talking about i can imagine them doing a great job.
First to get updates (reason enough to go for the Nexus 4 over the one x)
IPS screen (supposed to be among the best)
Really. What more can i say. There's one thing i don't doubt, and that's the fact that the tegra 4 is going to be better battery wise and faster. However, i don't feel like waiting for a tegra 4 device and to top it off, you actually need a manufacturer that makes the best out of it. For people who are not into gaming, they probably won't notice much of a difference. At the pace that google is improving their OS i just can't make up for excuses to stay with other manufacturers.

Well, technically the S4 pro does stump the Tegra 3 in gaming, but Tegra 3 has more optimized games in Play Store so therefore Tegra wins. The SLCD2 is also better than the IPS in some reviews, and the underclocked GPU is also very apparent is some benchmarks.

One major flaw though, only 8GB or 16GB internal memory and no expansion slot.

In stock ICS, yes. Apparently it's better (gone??) in JB, but I haven't got my update yet, so can't comment.

Average. The standby (or sleeping) power consumption is really good, and things like browsing the Web and listening to music are pretty good too, but CPU intensive tasks can really drain the battery. I fairly easily get a whole day out of it with moderate to heavy usage.

If your budget is big enough, I might advice you to look for the improved version of the phone, One X+ that is. It comes with JB, a faster processor and bigger storage (64GB). If budget is limited then get the One X. You can take a look at the Nexus 4 too and see if you like it or not, it depends on what you need.
Not trying to keep you from the One X or anything, its a great phone and its been working fine for me for the past 7 months and can definitely last more than 2 years. I'm just telling you to check the market for all the options so you are 100% confident with your decision.

1. I found that on stock ICS, the One X did lag sometimes when multiple apps were open. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, or when the stock Jelly Bean update is installed, it should have no lag because of project butter. I am on the CyanogenMod 10 ROM and it is lightning fast, and I have never noticed any lag at all.
2. The battery depends on the usage of the phone. I have found that after a usual day of usage, I have about 25-35% battery left, and this includes using power-hungry games.
3. Yes, the games are insanely fast, due to the Tegra 3 processor. Nvidia have a really strong background in gaming (due to all of their PC GPU's), and this really shows when playing any game.
Hope this helps
Defo get one root it and get ARHD on it , smooth as with zero lag
IMO, if you can afford it, go for the One X+ instead of the One X. That bigger battery is really something to consider however, I see no big difference apart from that (better GPU and higher CPU/GPU clocks are no big deal IMO). If you can't afford it or if you find the extras on the One X+ no big deal, get the One X w/o a moment's hesitation
Why is anybody still looking at a device with the locked down misery the is HTC bootloader when a Nexus 4 is better in just about every way and costs less?

Because the Nexus 4 has a much cheaper build quality, has glass on both sides which makes it more prone to smashing (Gorilla Glass 2 isn't unbreakable) and HTC Sense is really good for consumers that will keep the phone as it is (Sense does have a lot of great features), not to mention the worst fact that there are no capacitive buttons on the Nexus 4, which means that screen real estate is taken up by the on-screen buttons. Also, in my opinion, the device looks ugly, especially on the back with that awful looking camera and the weird sparkly effect.
Still, I do think that the wireless charging is really cool, and I can see why people buy the nexus devices to get stock android immediately. I also realise that it feels cheaper because it is cheaper.
I just think that the negatives of the Nexus 4, and the positives of the One X make the One X a much better phone, and if you want an unlocked bootloader, if you go to htcdev.com, they could not have made it simpler to do.
I just got my HTC One X last week.
I got it because I was really tired of the lag of my HTC Sensation XE (1.5 GHz Dual Core with 780+ MB of RAM).
I loaded all my previous apps on the One X (so I would have a fair comparison), I can tell you there is a HUGE difference in speed. It was really much more than I hoped for. The One X is very much faster and task switching is immediate.
Opening/browsing/closing the Google Play was a real pain on the Sensation XE, but on the One X it's really smooth and satisfying.
For the battery, it's about the same of my Sensation XE. But considering the One X has a bigger screen and a quad core, I was happy with the battery life (I was expecting a shorter battery life). I have the data on all day long (3G only, HSDA network) with many apps syncing and moderate usage (including watching youtube), I can survive a full day easily (7 AM - 12 midnight).
For games, I don't play games so I can't tell.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm still on ICS, as Jelly Bean is not out yet for my region. My old Sensation XE was on ICS too.
Also, my HTC One X is all stock, no roots or custom ROM. So if you want more speed (although I don't see why) you can put a stock JB ROM and other users say it will get smoother.
After more days spent with my new phone, still can say that I am in love with my One X.

I think you have some good points, however I have both right next to me at the moment. I wouldn't say that either has better build quality. They're very different design philosophies. If you like the feel of the iphone 4s then the nexus will be better but if you like the lumia polycarbonate style then the one x for sure. For me I prefer the nexus simply because it makes it feel more like a grown ups phone as opposed to a toy so much.
Otherwise it's pretty night and day in terms of usability. The nexus 4 is a lot quicker and smoother and cooler. The one x does win on screen and camera though.
OP if you don't like lag this is a no brainer, the nexus is much better.

Haha, just make sure you don't get an operator branded phone or be unlucky enough to get one with an uncommon CID, yes. But you've still got a device manufacturer telling YOU what YOU can do with the device YOU own. Which sucks.
If the HOX is so much better than the Nexus 4, then you'll have to show me the fields of people waiting to swap my immaculate HOX for one. I suspect they don't exist though.
Yes, different things appeal to different people, and the industrial design of the HOX is nice, but I suspect from what I've read the N4 could not really be considered to have 'inferior build quality'. I don't even like the idea of a dual-faced glass device, but I'd still have one to get that device at that price. Either way, given that the N4 should be just over half the price, there's simply no competition.
HTC One X or Nexus 7?

Fair play, but if you read what you said again, you said:
'If the HOX is so much better than the Nexus 4, then you'll have to show me the fields of people waiting to swap my immaculate HOX for one. I suspect they don't exist though'
That just practically means that no-one is swapping a One X for a Nexus 4. Well done :laugh:
And in response to 'letom', I do like the Nexus 4, and the price together with the fresh OS is why a lot of people would choose to buy one. I'm just saying that if I had no phone again and I had to buy one, I would still probably get the One X. I just like the premium feel and the screens on HTC phones are unbeatable (I also really like the camera). And yes, running Sense and with all the apps that HTC forces upon you (like 7Digital), it is more laggy than the Nexus 4. All you have to do is root it and install CM10, and they both have zero lag.
And I think we can all agree, Android > iOS anyday
Actually no, if I had no phone, I would wait for the HTC M7 (rumoured to launch Q1 2013). The Droid DNA is just the warm-up phone in the build up to the M7. Although, it is still all rumours at the moment so we probably won't see or hear about it until MWC 2013.
The problem is I bet you the new HTC still won't be as smooth as the nexus 4. I have jelly Bean on my one x right now, and yes it's smooth but it's not up there with how smooth the nexus is. Look at the reviews of the DNA they're saying it's still bogged down by sense. You should only be getting a HTC phone is you like sense, and live by it.
