Hello,
I am a relative newbie here and would really appreciate some help.
I live in India and I am planning to get the HTC One X NA Unlocked from USA to India via friend. I have the following few questions:
1. Is it better to get the HTC One S NA or the HTC One X NA. Reason I ask is, the international One S does not have the Krait processor.
2. In either case, if i get an unlocked phone here and use it with a general SIM, will I not be able to update it with any firmware/SW changes?
3. What happens to the warranty of an unlocked phone? I am guessing there will be limited/no warranty on the phone in India.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, please do reply!
Regards,
Anupam.
The choice of one s / one x is upto you. I would say one x as that's what I've got.
The warranty may well be void in India.
As for updates that depends on the provider. I would suggest putting a custom rom on it.

Why do you want to to this ?
Why not buy it from india ?
1. One X
2. Upon booting you'll only loose access to HTC HUB which I guess none care
3. You'll still b able to upgrade the device.
4. You'll loose the warranty.
Guess this helps

Cheaper in US. $500 around which is roughly 28 K v/s 38K in India currently.
International One S does have the Krait processor. If getting the One S get one with the S4 chip as you can also get ones with the S3 chip which is slightly slower than the S4.
Both are very good phones, if size is not an issue then get the One X. My sister has the HOS, it has better battery life, better music quality via headphones noticablely faster in day to day usage as the S4 is a great chip.
The international One X has tegra which is good for gaming. One X has the better screen, HD resolution.
You'd be happy with either phone.

So does this mean i can upgrade without a custom ROM? I am a little new to this and have never actually played around with my phone. Hence would like to know what is the best way without too many customizations.

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?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.
With newer phones out like Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Note II, and the new One X+, and upcoming LG Nexus 4, and new Nokia Windows 8 Phone.
Are you still happy with your One X ? Or do you feel its outdated or behind the times already ?
For me, running CM10 ROM, I find this phone amazing still, and top of the line. The screen is still a reference benchmark, when newer phones are reviewed, the One X screen is always discussed with newer phones, that days a lot to me.
Opinion ?

It's great, but I'll still want a Nexus 4
absolutely...still waiting for JB update though...
Reason I ask, is because my Wife and I nerd one more unlocked phone to finally leave Verizon, we live in the States ( Chicago ). I wanna go prepaid plan, no commitment, no contract, and will save big $$ each month too. I bought the international One X in white off eBay and love it. Now need one more phone.
Was either thinking another international One X off eBay, or wait to see the official price on the LG Nexus 4 ? If the Nexus 4 is close in price to a used unlocked One X then I will go Nexus 4. Or I cooks get the current GSM Galaxy Nexus brand new for $349, I already have the Verizon Nexus, but it won't work on new plan we moving too, and the battery life blows on this Verizon Nexus.
What would you recommend ?

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

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.

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.

Re: What is your next phone after HOX and NO A-OFF
To be honest my first android phone was HTC ,I had all the phones with all the problems you mentioned ,I think I need to get away to Samsung phones and see the performance ,get accustomed with rooting and all with Samsung and then decide if its worth it ,cause honestly I couldn't care less about sense and built quality if performance and battery life is good ,the end of the day phone life is 2 years.im Sure a plastic Samsung will last 2 years rather than good built quality with component deffects and all the crap that HTC is doing now
htc one x
htc again
Me too. I like sense but feed up of HTC and their antics. I'm going to move to xperia z

i had the htc tytn then desire and now one x ,next phone will be samsung,there so much easier to mod ,cant htc see thats why samsung have a huge customer base,
My OneX stopped working due to water damage. Not stocked anymore so insurance gave me a GS3 32g.
Had one when released and hated it.
New one on jellybean is good though.
Still miss the one x but Samsung aren't really that bad. Stock vs stock goes to HTC with Sense.
That being said I can't wait for Xperia Z.

No more HTC i'm done with them. I might go for Xperia XL or any other device .. Maybe the next MIUI device rumored with T4.
I dont know yet, i have hox and sg3, so i guess no one this year, no more HTC for sure... No soff, so, by htc. Gonna break for sure, at least phones. Will keep building only windows phones, so i predict competition with nokia only.
So the only brand is Sony and Samy, Sony will see no updates as it should, son maybe ending with Samsung.
Thanks for everything Htc, great phone, tegra is great on gaming but battery sucks in JB. Uncontrolled ota, ruu encrypted.. And more.. But well, hox still a great phone but .won't buy an htc phone anymore. Even if they give us SOFF.
And i dont lie.

If S4 has awesome design then I ll go for it. Otherwise HOX until sth nice pops up!
On the road using my HOX
Unless HTC goes back to its glory days, this November I am getting a GS4 or the GNote 3.
I'm done with HTC. If I want to have a expensive peace of crap I will buy a IPhone. Because of there strategie to keep the devices locked within the future they should keep this trash!
I'm waiting for my Note2.

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.
