Why is htc one s more expensive than htc one x - HTC One X

Hi can anyone tell me that why is the htc one s more expensive than one x as one x has a bigger screen a quadcore processor and it is also considered htc's flagship phone.

The One X is more expensive

Where do you see that the One S is more expensive?

I looked it on a website and over there the htc one s was more expensive

well that website got it wrong
the one x is holding at 520$ in my country the one s is 420$

One S also cheaper in UK
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/HTC-ONE-X/PPAY (£419)
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mo.../PPAY?src=phoneFinderReviews#modelDetailsTabs (£349)

The only way I can think of that happening is if they were look at on contract prices for the T-Mobile One S and the AT&T One X(L).

Stores here in Singapore have the One S priced $100 more than the One X. I didn't understand it either.

same here in Saudi Arabia

It's cost for more battery backup....lol
It would be high because its still not released in that country and one x has releases so they have to import one s from u.k or so hence higher price..
Same here in India

Sure its the One X and not One XL ?

I got my HOX free on a 24 month contract (£21.50 a month!). At the time, the HOS was £79. They're both free on that contract now, but the HOS as 200 minutes instead of the 100 the HOX has.

Does the HOX have more reported issues with it? Maybe that hasn't helped sales?

Yup.

It's because in Singapore One S is bundled with Beats earphone/headphone (don't remember which one/type), one X did not have beats bundle.
What I found amusing is in states, comparing T-mobile one S and AT&T one X, off-contract price, indeed one S is $50 more expensive, I don't get the logic...
Back then, in the end I'm forced to get One S, cause AT&T would not sold One X to tourists "you must be AT&T customer... bla bla bla..." T-mobile happily sell me prepaid one S.

A couple of months ago I could have understood it because the One S was superior to the One X. I found that myself when going from a One S to a One X, but now with the latest base it is the other way round.

One S is cheaper than One X in Czech Republic too..

If the HTC One S is selling well in a certain country, The carriers will take advantage of this.
In the US some carriers have dropped the price of the HTC One X by $100 according to a news article.

Same. Never buying HTC again.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well, it's not really a surprise now, is it? HTC had to to something with a flagship that's now 6 months old. Seeing how Samsung is selling its Galaxy range like hotcakes and they keep churning out new models, HTC has to keep up.
I'm actually happy that they've kept the overall hardware setup similar to the One X. For us One X owners that should mean longer ongoing support, since there is no technical limitation for One X+ updates to be applied onto the One X. At least they're not launching a gazillion iterations of the same phone like they did in 2010 and 2011...
I must say the larger battery annoys me, though. But I take the One X's looks any day...

[Q] Should i buy HTC ONE XL

HI! I am from Singapore and i intend to buy HTC ONE XL. And does this phone have any wifi issues like the HTC ONE X.

You should buy a Note II. Everybody should!
I did some research before when buying my HTC one x. I heard that htc one x is better with gaming with the better gpu and htc one xl got faster cpu.
Don't know how true this is. I have tried my brother in law one xl and found that camera is abit slower...
Note 2 look good!

Thats because the HTC ONE XL is a dualcore phone and the HTC ONE X a quadcore phone !
HTC ONE XL is the AT&T, ROGERS forum

What will you do with your One X when TWO X comes out

As the title says feel free to discuss and share your thoughts.
Have fun and be nice

Currently on a 2 year contract so will probably wait for the one x 3

Im the sort of person who won't buy something for the sake off it so I'll probably run my one x into the ground before I even think about a new phone.

Also in a 2 year contract..lol.. also I feel fine with my one x...and its great to wait 2 years..and really feel a difference to my htc desire...
For temperature..my 2 core laptop also get warm if i play some harder games...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
can we start calling it the two x? can we make it a new thing? pretty please? lol
Well, what I always do is buy the successor then decide which one to keep a month later...this year the One X has grown on me....so it may be a keeper for another year
Probably give it to my partner... She's been eyeing it up ever since I got it. I'll probably go for a Nexus 4 before my contracts up and I'm fairly certain this will be my last hTC device even though I love the build quality and design. That is unless their policy with regard to s-off/updates becomes a lot less sucky.
My next phone would be HTC Two X, then HTC Three X and....
Yep same. Stuck in a 24 month contract but I'm already starting to think about a new device. The One X is great but I'm pretty sure this will be my last HTC. Again, the s-off nonsense and laxidasical approach to releasing sources coupled with being spoilt with the openness of Nexus have all made me reconsider

Depends on what the 2x has, is its too hard to pass up ill sell my one x and get one, if not ill keep the one x and honour my whole 2 year contract
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm probably done with HTC, I'm waiting a while because I think Google will release a 32GB Nexus 4. At that point I'll buy a 16GB Nexus 4 for $300 instead of $350.

I think I will buy a galaxy s5 or 6
For now i'm happy with one x,what can they do more ?

Keep the One X+
Like several others, I'm on the 2yr plan. I really like the One X+ so far.
I had an Aria, then an Inspire 4G before and really like HTC build quality.
Much better than my dad's Samsung Galaxy SII.
I think I'll get a nexus device for my next phone. I actually really wanted a galacy nexus but was spec struck by the one x... And quicker updates wpyld be nice. That said it would be interesting to see what they come up with next.

I'll probably hold on to the one X for a while unless I go visit France or the us next may for break.

Like other people said when I'll change my hox I'll jump ship and probably buy a gphone. The problem is not the s-off itself but the warranty matter that comes without it. It's a pity cos htc always made really good phones and I'm with it since the good old htc magician with windows mobile 2003.

[Q] Wait for HTC M7 or get One X+ ?

GUys I need some advice from you.
As you know HTC will be releasing HTC M7 in Q1 this year (2013)
I'm considering whether I should wait for the M7 (or other new models release this year) or just get the One X+
We don't even know what the merely-codenamed device looks like yet...
Why not the butterfly?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Wait for good! There might be a Tegra 4 HTC device in Q1.

butterfly is beautiful but I prefer Tegra 4 !
Love mobile game.
Wait for M7+
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If I was you I'd skip the X+ and wait for something newer.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
If I was the one getting a new phone I would have waited for a new device possibly tegra 4. I personally would wait for a possible new phone to check how it will be and for the price drop after a new model released. Unless your are in a new of a new phone now or don't care about the money.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
If the M7 comes out, then One X+ price will drop. If price is not the issue for you, then definitely wait for M7. With Butterfly flying around, I wouldn't even consider X+ at all. It'll be Butterfly or M7 for me to make my choice.
Looking at the specs of the Butterfly.
It does not seem a big difference and upgrade from the One X+
And besides, I also own a tablet which i will use it for gaming instead.
I don't think HTC will be a good choice.Maybe lumia 820 920(820has better performance cause of 800*480)One x+ is not so good.Maybe M7(if tegra4)

Why go for a windows phone? The platform is not sold yet better to stick with an android device if the op wants it. Just wait for the next set of handsets due very soon.

What was the price? I bought my phone, completely stock and untouched for 230pounds. It was 2 days old, still had the plastic over the screen and the original vodafone sim. It was stock unlocked too and had all the usual accessories. I bought mine in November so the price should have dropped radically by now
360 start, its because its s-off. Absolutely you can get an s-on device much cheaper.
I had a watch on s-off devices as I bought one a few months back. They don't show up often.

Not really worth it , the only real gain for avarage flasher is that it doesn't need PC for flashing and possibility to change the cid , nothing else, besides HoX is nearly 1 year old now , now is time for new devices.
I'm selling mine as wel. First have to wait for the Padfone 2

Seriously tho there is no means to s-off this beast using software. Sorry
You have only one option, to buy one that came s-off from HTC. Not many of them about hence they cost over the odds.

I asked one of the vendor,he told me they use a special goldcard s-off one x...and the goldcard is very very expensive,he used over 1600 USD buy it in 6/2012.
In addition,s-off One X perhaps need disassemble cellphone.So,our normal users s-off One X is a impossible mission at now.
