[Q] HTC One X...will you be getting one?

For me, my Desire HD does WAYYYY more than I need, which is cool....but the geeky side of me is starting to twitch when I saw this:
HTC One X
http://www.htc.com/uk/smartphones/htc-one-x/
http://androidheadlines.com/2012/03/htc-one-x-specifications-first-take.html
"HTC has stated that they took a bit of a downturn last year releasing too many devices and adding too much to their once lauded Sense UI. For 2012 they intend to attack the smartphone market with a renewed sense of purpose and with an entirely new line of products with the recently announced HTC One line. The headliner of the new trio is the HTC One X announced at Mobile World Congress as a Tegra 3 sporting quad core beast of a phone meant to put HTC back on the map.
The requirements for being part of the One series are Authentic Sound which is provided by the integrated Beats Audio and an Amazing Camera with HTC’s own image software and new ImageChip. In the U.S. however the One X will feature a dual core 1.5Ghz Snapdragon because when the phone was being designed to run on AT&T’s LTE network the Tegra 3 did not support LTE though it does now so the U.S. version suffers on the front. It will however ship with the latest version of Sense 4.0 and Ice Cream Sandwich."

If I could keep the DHD and have a One X I would,
But...
I'd also trade my DHD for it.

got a year left on my contract, plus i just "upgraded" to the DHD
can't afford a new phone, and the DHD handles everything well, i'll stay put

I have DHD but HTC One X is something that i must to have it!

I'm on pay as you go, got my desire off Ebay months ago, in absolutely MINT condition, never failed me once....but if/when this get's released in UK.....I just know I won't be able to resist.....i'll wait til it's been out a couple of months, and get one off Ebay.....finances say "NO"
But, i'll beg, plead, prey and sell my soul to get the cash for one..lol
Even though it's got WAY more features and power that I need....just something telling me in my head..."yum yum, got to have! got to have!"

I will get one if I can !!! Not sure when Malaysia will release .

Hopefully the rumors are true and it comes to t-mobile as g4x or whatever. Wonder if its gonna be more than $200 with a 2 yr contract

If only I can afford it.

Yes!!!
I will be getting one for sure! My question is can i get an international version with the quad core processor and still use it with my sim card? If not I will still get the XL but still bummed about only getting a dual core over here...
never-mind answered my own question. it will work as long as it operates on a 850 and 1900mhz bands! sweet!!!!!

hoping it will be....
what a specs? hoping it will be released by May here in downUnder, that's when am eligible for an early upgrade...cant wait...

I'm not due an upgrade until December (stupid 2 year contract!) but this is already shaping up to be the phone I get. Looks awesome and nice specs too + with any luck by the time I do upgrade the community will already have some awesome custom ROMs released. I'll be happy not to be an early adopter for once

Either the x or the v...but weirdly I'm hoping that dome devs release an asop to her...from what I've seen with sense 4 yeah looks a bit different but not majorly overhauled...but then how would the dropbox work...surely it'd have to be linked to the handset...so custom roms...hmm lol who knows...but sadly yes I will have the urge to get one...can't help myself

my upgrade date was tuesday
so if i can get one from my operator for a sensible price i'm seriously thinking about it

looks good, might think about getting one

From what I have seen of this, and assuming that there is not another killer phone comes out before my current contract expires in Jun I would definitely get one of these!
I love my HD2, but it is starting to get a bit dated!

I bought DHD about 15 months back it has served as a good replacement for my Nokia N79, but the battery life is really bad in this. I have just purchased GT-N7000 Hope to get some good juice out of it before I think of going for One X, sure One X has better specs then any current Android mobile, but you may want to wait for Samsung S3.

Maybe i give my DHD to my wife and buy One X...a great machine.

HTC one x

Have the vivid love it the only downside is the terrible sound quality... Thinking of upgrading to the one x when it comes out have looked and saw no other major phone releases this year that would come close to the one x.. thoughts comments. Welcome.
vivid iced over

I would do it! I am on Sprint and would most likely go for the EVO 4G LTE, a variant of the One X. Just know that the phone will be very limited as far as unlocking goes. Check out the current discussion in the One X forum, and read here on my blog: http://goo.gl/3T4NK

Im waiting for s3 release, and for Huawei Ascend d quad user expirience

it will keep no1 til s3 is out.

All sgs3 needs to beat one x is a sdcard slot + removable batt options
Their sgs2 already beaten one x to camera picture quality, battery + storage options
i have a feeling sgs3 is gonna look like gnex with buttons.. so they can mass produce with win8 version in mind
Anyway .. yea wait till 3 may before deciding on anything.

I got the one x and I love it. Only downside is over in the development forum for my new phone no one can do anything with the U.S. version right now since AT&T refuses to unlock bootloader so if you can live without 4g lte I'd go for the non u.s. version who know when we will get root etc on u.s. version.... Boo AT&T

Yeah i am taking my at&t one back in the morning and ordered me a International off Amazon. I dont have LTE here anyway so was just getting 2.5-3 speeds which is what i get on my International Note. Down loading ROMS for its delivery in 2 days now

[Q] Time to upgrade........

OK, its time to upgrade my trusty DHD.....
...but what gets my hard-earned (no, really) pennies?
To me there are 4 options........
1) HTC One X
2) Samsung Galaxy Note
3) Wait until the 30th and get the Samsung Galaxy SIII
4) Keep the DHD for another 12 months and benefit from a cheaper contract.
So, if it was your pennies getting spent, where would they be going?
I'm going to post this question in the HOX, SGN, and SGS3 forums too, to (try to) get a balanced view.

I was already to get the Note, then I picked one up and it's a Samsung. It was like Agent J and the noisy cricket. The One X still pisses me off with it's non removable battery and no external storage slot. The SGS III will be a Samsung. I don't understand why their phones feel so cheap. HTC's plastics aren't that toy-like.
Sprint's Evo LTE gives me hope though. It's nearly a One X with a bigger, though still not removable, battery and it has a micro sd slot. Maybe the next upgrade for the "flagship" will get them also.
Just my thoughts but I guess I would wait to see what else is coming. The SGS III may be better than I think or maybe something else can make me a fool.
I'm liking ICS on it now and it will only get better when the official update comes out.

Thanks BLG - I know where you are coming from.
Having owned 5 HTC devices on the spin, I feel a little grubby myself considering Samsungs! ;-)
However, here lies part of the problem - I think I'm bored of HTC, and the One X and One S are just so.... safe looking. Where is the design flair? Plus, I've never been much of a ROM flasher (although I did put Vegacomb on my tablet), preferring to have a device that works rather than list the compromises and things which dont quite work properly, so stock Sense is now getting very stale indeed.
Maybe I need to turn to the dark side briefly just to satisfy my curiosity that the grass isnt always greener?

I'm sure I will go wrap my mitts around the SGS III asap. I just want my next device to look, feel and dammit, smell better than what I have. Besides, touchwiz is just
UGLY.

Hmmmm, an interesting alternative, there. Whatever I decide, I'll probably keep the DHD anyway and use it as a test device for flashing/generally mucking about.
I've decided (with a feeling of I'm cheating on a loved one) to get a Note online, then I can return it under distance selling laws if I find it unbearable to live with.
Genuinely, many thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. Your insight has been much appreciated.

When you say dark side, meaning Apple of course, have you ever considered Windows Phone? I'm much the same as you. Although playing around with the various DHD custon ROMs and having the freedom of Android has been enjoyable; I'm now thinking I just want a phone that works and doesn't need to be mucked around with. Was tossing up Windows Phone, maybe the HTC Titan as an upgrade. Thoughts?

One X vs GS3?

Hi at all! some day ago i broke my HD2 so i search for a new smartphone! my choise is on one X and Gs3 I know that for now the one X with stock rom have a worse ottimization (like with animated wallpaper). so I ask you what's the best phone in this area,if one have the sotck rom or some other from XDA:
battery
performance
with the new rom form XDA one X is better that GS3 or GS3 continue at be the best phone for performance and battery?

I had a look at a S3 the other in day in store and I was quite impressed but at the same time not disappointed with my choice of the HOX.
I do like the sense launcher and some time soon I am going to flash a custom rom to speed things along but from what I've read and seen both phones are nearly identical performance wise.
If you are into flashing custom roms and things I would go with the S3 as they have already released the source code for it while where stuck over here trying to get S-off

thanks so with the new rom you have noted some improvement in the battery life? beacause for now this is the real difference between one X e SG3 for me i Have fear that the one X have a small battery

From a pure hardware/features standpoint, the GS3 is a beast.
Personally, I like the way the HOX looks/feels, though and I'm a sucker for the contact integration of the social networks. Touchwiz has a long way to go before it's that refined.

but for the daily use the one X have some lag with the custom rom? I see in a lot of review a bug with animated wallpaper and the stock browser is terrible with flash respect the one s and Gs3 :/
so with the new updates or custom rom this problem are solved?

The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone, I love the HOX and the curved look, and sense is awesome, I must have installed all other launchers and ended up back with sense.
The GS is a little too..... simple, or presice, the HOX is a Tegra 3 Daddy, dont worr about the battery as my model and if you buy one yours will be fine and last 2 days easy. Its eraly SN versions having issues not new ones.

sorry,but I don't understend the phrase "The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone". I want said that SG3 is better of HOx?
I'm worry about battery and lag,beacause in a lot of review HOX have some lag and a lot of people said that is not optimized

sorry,but this is a very big forum,so here I can have a lor of opinion
I saw the video. My conclusion is that with the new update and custom rom in daily use the difference between GS3 and HOX in nearly zero,right?
But I don't understand how much is big the difference in the game. with one X there is some game that go slow?like Mass effect or some other new games?

Go for the S3, OneX is for **** ....

HOX: better screen, camera & design.
SGS3: unlocked bootloader, removable battery, sdcard slot.
If you can't make a decision from that simple summary then it doesn't matter, you'd be happy with either.

I just got my one x a few hours ago and I think it is awesome. I'm definitely buying the pebble blue galaxy s 3 though. Just be happy with your purchase. Both great in their own way.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I dont like the samsung TouchWiz interface. HTC Sense is way better in my opinion.
I had HTC Inc S, then got the SGS2, wasnt really happy with it, mainly the interface, so got the ONE X and love it.
Its fast and battery lasts well, I get 2 days of average use before recharge. Allthough when I use it as a Wifi hotspot for 6 hours will only last me 1 day.

in my honest opinion
I have my HOX now for the past month and I am satisfied...
Just satisfied as it delivers where it should as in Graphics, Performance, UI, Integration and sleekness, however the only major downfall I would say of the HOX is the Battery and not having a removable SD card.
Battery life too short and not being able to expand the memory is a downfall
So with only those 2 aspects in mind I would change to a GS3
Otherwise I am happy with my HOX

hehe... i still have the feeling that Sense 5 was the last big update...but i say its ok...i dont think that nowdays...(i mean in the rush time we live..if i can say that so) its a good idea to make over and over updates for old phones so that you dont need to buy a new phone...i can understand that a little bit...2 years are ok..and a must...i dont want a big discussion about this..for this there are enough threads..but thats my thinking and i hope i dont make me enemies

So much for this being 'flagship'. HTC really don't care about their customers once they have a new bun in the oven.

I tend to disagree. Only year and a half is passed after HOX release and less than a year of hox+ release. It's not right to not update the previous generation. Atleast 2 years is a must. We can bash samsung all that we want, but they support their top models far better than htc, sadly as htc is far better phone builder. I hope when lenovo buy htc there will be new "hardcore boner" phones. Htc support of past models is getting worse and worse as their financial records are dropping with extreme rate(and with that "support" they only make it worse). They just don't have the human power/money power to support older devices. Sad, but true.

I don't get it, if you want to be 'up to date' you should buy a new phone every two years. I think HTC did an amazing job with 4.2.2 sense 5. I do not expect more of them. It's not all about you and me in this world. I rather like HTC to work on new stuff then giving ten years of support to 'old' devices.
And be honest, this latest update with the hardware of the one x will run for a long time, it's not that our device becomes useless because of no updates.

I will just say that if you bought a hox+ (released november 2012) you would need to buy a new phone in less then a year if you wanted to be on the latest... btw latest for htc and sammy means one version behind
In the case of the hox... They supported it for a year and a half.
our devices were never on the latest android version. I dont call it an update if you are one or two versions behind. Sammy is the same but i hate them even more for that because they have the resources to update it in a reasonable timeframe. But they dont.

it's really disappointing

I don't care that much about Sense 5.5 , because most of the features that are in it, we already have with Sense 5.0 for our One X (except for the camera features, we'll never get those). But I do care about the 4.3 update and I hope we get it. According to previous leek - we will get 4.3 with Sense 5.0.

I think this is the end for the hox and the hox+. Because if they make the effort to update it to 4.3 sense 5.5 would come with it. Thats my thinking
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4

If you want latest updates buy a Nexus device. If you want sense you know you won't get updates after 1 or 1,5 year. It's nothing new. You knew it the moment you bought the One X.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Well, if you guys actually read the changelog, 70% of the Sense 5.5 features are basically our own Sense 5.0 features. The reason for this is that most One's in the US were stuck on 4.1.2 while we were getting our 4.2.2 update. So to avoid wasting time, HTC announced they'd skip 4.2.2 for the One and jump straight to 4.3. So most of the things in 4.3 Sense 5.5 is basically from out own Sense 5.0, it's just finally making it to devices which were deprived from 4.2.2 unlike us.
As for 4.3 for the One X, I really don't mind if we don't get it. I like Sense 5. I'm not the kinda guy who NEEDS the bleeding edge of OS updates. I'm just the average Joe who just needs something nice to use. 4.2.2 is good one the One X and I don't mind it staying on it till I replace it in the future. Even if I get tired, there's always aftermarket ROMs so the options are not limited. I know I can't speak for everyone because I have a Nexus 7 which is always up-to-date but believe me when I say there are more days then not when I actually prefer using my 4.2.2 Sense 5 over the 4.3 in my N7
All I can say is just enjoy your phones. Compared to TW updates or Sony updates which sometimes f*ck your old devices up, HTC actually didn't with our update besides, what's in 4.3 that we NEED that badly in our phones ? The only thing I see actually worth the update is Bluetooth 4.0 support and even that's not really for me but more for the One X owners who threw a hissy fit about Sense not supporting it and felt scammed.

If I'm honest I'm perfectly happy with my hox. It's not been the flagship for a good while but update still happened and many facets from future updates will likely be brought to hox on xda once enough time passes and people feel like it.
Don't expect but couldn't ask for more

Well, if samsung S3 will get it (same specifics) like HOX why we do not get 4.3?
BUT if they dont care for costumers we have our way to punish bad costumer care brands.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Well... The only thing that I really want from sense 5.5 is the RSS support for blinkfeed - it will make it alot more usable for me, right now I dont use it because feedly is much better for my RSS subscriptions. Furthermore, the only thing that I want from 4.3 is the trim feature, but I have root and I use the trim app..so maybe it's not a must.
Anyway next phone for me is nexus, even though sense is just better than any other UI in the market IMHO.
