I know many of us are yet to recieve our phones but my girlfriend just asked me how long the One X will be considered a top of the range phone for. Will we see out the length of our contracts with it or will something else come along in the next year and trump it?
Discuss.
There's always something that will pop up that will be better. There's no possible way to see nothing better than the one x for two years.

As always in the whole entertainment electronics industry it could be considered old, even tomorrow. That's the way it goes!
But why care about the future she should enjoy the device as most of us do!

Agreed. She isnt getting a one x anyway, she loves her DHD too much.
Well I've been reading up the Samsung s3 and its going to be on level par to the one x but its said the one x display will still be better than the s3 which isn't due out till end of the year and tbh I've had my dhd for 18 months and yet in all that time I've not found another phone that would interest me until now the one x is going to hold its ground for at least 12 months then start losing its thrill but I reckon it will be between the 12 month and 18month Mark where something else will be the next big thing.

Since 2010, HTC themselves have gone from the Desire >Desire HD >Sensation/SensationXE >One X. Even if you ignore the minor change in the sensation range, that's four new flagship phones in less than two years.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the One X will be trumped before the year is out, but that's just the way the market is (if it wasn't, the One X probably wouldn't exist today).
All you can do is pick the phone that's right for you and enjoy it while you can. There will always be something else around the corner.
That's just my opinion of course

I'm just saying, you have no idea. You seem to be predisposed to HTC, so you probably favor the one x. S3 isn't even out yet, so I have no idea how you can judge by specs.

As with any electronics, just get the best that you can afford at the time you want it. That's really all anyone can do. New models of phone, TV, HiFi, etc are out all the time, no question HTC will have a new 'flagship' model out within 12 months from previous track record.
My reasoning for getting the HTC One X is that my Desire that I bought 2 yr ago has held up pretty well until recently, also thanks to good ROM support here. The fact that this is a Tegra 3 phone and also that I had good experience with my previous HTC phone helped the decision that it should last fairly well.
Other phones such as GS3 might have some things slightly better/worse but I don't expect it to be night/day differences.
I would not be surprised if the Galaxy s3 processor doubled many of the ONE's benchmarks. So what? In the real world it will make little difference.
For at least the next year, both phones will still be much faster than 70% of other androids and both will run everything as smoothly as an iPhone. The processors in both the ONE and the S3 will in 2 years time be 5 or 10 times slower than the latest processors, but the difference in user experience will be trivial. Both will still run buttery smooth because the demands of android will not increase at anything like the same rate.
There will also be many more wifi hotspots to compensate for the lack of 4g and many apps will use cloud servers rather than the phone for processing. This will make benchmarks matter even less. In other words, by 2014 the ONE and S3 will look obsolete in terms of benchmarks but will still work really well for all the tasks they currently perform.
By 2014, both will be struggling with some games. More importantly, they will be lacking the new killer features from 2013 and 2014 such as 4g, light field camera, desktop mode, and built in Google TV. These will remain on the drawing board throughout 2012 but may become premium features by 2014. They will require new hardware components that probably wont be found in any phone that is built in 2012.
This is the bottom line: the ONE will not become obsolete due to any lack of processing power or benchmarks (which is all that the S3 will challenge it on) but rather to the lack of new features that are still in the development phase but will eventually require new and additional hardware components that neither the ONE or S3 have.
HTC changed their approach this year, dont think they will release anything else other than special editions of these. Maybe chuck Beats headphones in the box and give it a different lick of paint.
They want to rebuild the brand, get it plugging higher numbers again. Im just surprised they opted for different CPUs either side of the world, strange marketing move that one. They should have just stuck to Tegra 3 and plugged the gaming support or something.

Except Tegra3 can't handle 4G without a separate radio (which kills the battery). Hence S4 for the LTE/4G versions, and Tegra3 elsewhere since quad core sounds better
Real world, both processors are near enough to equally capable, with each excelling in particular areas.

Krait supports LTE, which is only used in the US.

It really is dependent on what you consider a long life expectancy. I'm still using my HD2 and love the fact that I can flash so many different OS's and Roms to it. Lets be honest and HD2 with a good ROM and a huge/fast SD card gives the Sensation a run for it's money.
The One X will be one of those phones that will hold it's ground for years to come because of its raw power (although 1GB of RAM really?? ya could have upped it for a brother).
Kinda confused how some of you are saying the SGSIII is going to have a worse screen etc.....and I highly doubt they are going to wait until the end of the year to release it. Would be shooting themselves in the foot. Not like Apple where if they don't release something, they'll be fine for a while. Everything is pointing to a release soon, it's in carrier testing in korea already. Plus, they want to get in on the marketing opportunity of the London Olympics which is going to be huge for promoting the phone and getting the worlds attention.
It's also rumored to have the SAMOLED HD Plus so idk how you know the One X screen is going to be better along with 20+ of people you've asked, they haven't even seen it yet.
As for phone longevity. The One X will certainly become overtaken by other phones by the end of this year. There is so much competition within Android, though we already know the few top handset makers; HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc...The user experience will still be fine, though battery is my worry. Non-removable and with phones like the Razr Maxx getting absolutely stunning battery life, I can only see other flagship handsets coming with gigantic batteries also while keeping the slim profile. I mean, the phone is already unibody and theres no cover....why not just put a bigger battery in there?
If you want the phone and like it, just buy it and enjoy it until you feel ready to upgrade. I'd personally opt for Krait because Tegra 3 is running on a generation old architecture, but thats my opinion.

Your clearly dumb and ignorant.
I'm stating facts......if it was the other way around and Samsung came out with the SGSIII already while everyone is talking about One X rumors, would you say the One X is going to come out the end of this year close to christmas??
Thats nearly a 2 year phone life cycle.
And what if they were saying OMG SAMOLED HD Plus is so much better than the One X screen when the One X hasn't even been released yet?? Wth do you say to that? Oh your just a fanboy, stop trolling the forums....this isn't a 4th grade debate.
I'm replying to the HTC fan troll how about that?
Maybe make some reasonable arguments and posts. Instead of just calling other people trolls. I didn't even say anything that made me sound like a Samsung fanboy, and thats because I'm not. I look at the specs, the facts, and base decisions around that.
The One X is good, but the One XL is better IMO. Tegra 3 is running four cortex-A9 cores built on the 40-45nm fabrication process. It's the same cores being used since the HTC Sensation and SGSII.
Look at Krait, running a brand new architecture built on the 28nm fabrication process. That's a pretty big gap, and it's showing in most of the benchmarks (though benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt, they're a good hint at relative performance). 28nm fabrication means, less heat, less energy, while keeping about the same level of performance. But Krait has more pipelines etc...resulting in it being much faster than the Snapdragon S3.
Don't just go around calling people trolls, you sound like the 4th grader.

Sir, I have deemed your comment to stupid to actually bother replying due to idiotic and senseless babbling.
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

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.

I would do it. I have a White Galaxy Nexus that although i love, needs a better camera. So im also thinking of trading my phone for another one.
I'd say keep your Nexus mate
The One X screen is nicer and does feel better built but other than that you may not notice that much difference
Hmmm you're right. I shouldn't rush into anything yet.

Scientific tests have shown that the HTC One X is exactly 426 times better than the Galaxy Nexus in every aspect.
So You must decide if you need a phone that is 426 times better than your current phone.

Not an easy task mate...I would probably wait, and taste this JB for a while, and a two months later do the trade for the same amount.
At the approximately same time, HoX will, hopefully get the JB too...
honestly, i have both. One X are actually not as smooth as the quad core insist. still got stutters especially for tegra 3 games. imo, wait and buy Nexus 7 with tegra 3 if you want tegra games. even temple run got stutter. My Gnex is much smoother. but i want it cuz of tegra games. though, the graphic and console quality effect will blow off your mind! thus, much better seen on Nexus 7!
One X has better performance if running CM9/AOSP roms and its obviously cuz Sense 4 is heavy. I have tried them and games run smoothly. but getting to the point of CM9 on One X to reach the same as Gnex, i dont know when... so i reverted to Sense for full working drivers, etc. and AOSP for Gnex. even waiting for JB to come for One X i dont know when as tegra drivers source codes are not even released for ICS yet. it was all cuz of nvidia.
Surely, screen is one of the best ever on One X. first time ever i could see clearly on the bright sunlight using auto-brightness. other phones so far, its not enough as i need to use higher brightness.

Damn the Nvidia thing doesn't sound too good. Well I don't play games at all in my phone so that's not a problem. I guess I should hold off because it seems like it's not going to have superb stock experience like GNex and no real JB for a while
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
JB includes a massive amount of work from project butter to speed up things
JB and the android after that will come to us too
currently the leaked 2.05.401.2 firmware is massively better then the current official
finally if you like to root and regarding performance check the ultra sense 4 fix and gaming guide links in my signature, a compilation of my own project butter for the HOX while remaining on stock ROMs
oh if you dont play games there is not much reason for you to switch except the sexiest LCD screen ever made plus the fancy look and feel
since you dont game, stick with Nexus mate. apart from having tegra 3 games, you lose nothing. Sense 4 is really heavy i assure you. slapping a CM9 onto that is surely fast and make the phone fly, but you'll miss real AOSP experience on Gnex, which i do when i did sold my Gnex. i only last a month, and i bought the Gnex back. waiting for kernel and driver source is killing yourself. i had those experience on Desire, and SGS2.
tbh, i dont game much too. its just a peace of mind having best of both world. haha.
I do love the screen though because AMOLED is total garbage burn in crap. Idk if paying another $150 on top justifies it though

Huh~ wierd.. I never suffer stutters on THD games. Just finish both ShadowGun & Mass Effect:Infiltrator(although this ain't THD), in fact I suffer more from heat. Though, any where whith Sense present may suffer stutters on my HOX...
As others have said, the One X does stutter and isn't as smooth as I expected. In my experience the apps menu stutters when flicking between pages. Live wallpapers stutter like it's running on an underpowered phone.
The One X may be good but it still has its flaws.

its all thanks to the tons of work google did with JB
so yes for now if you go with One X and stick to official current firmware the UI is not match to JB, the upcoming firmware we have already is no comparison
JB is coming to all these devices and then we will all join the fun
or unlock the One X and unleash the fury
the very main thing you will experience when coming from the Gnex is the massively better screen and classy construction on the other hand you might miss the on screen context buttons if you liked those
in its worst state the One X will still slaughter the GNex in gaming, this only leaves you with the HTC sense and the UI smoothness for now you might prefer JB
Tegra3 is good stuff but its still evolving so never mind the haters, Nexus 7 will give you a good idea how it will perform under JB
Well there ever be a stable stock build from AOSP? Or on AOKP? Like pure?

There is no issue with One X now..n this new leaked base is amazing..I forgot to turn my all the 4 cores on before playing Dead Trigger..n with just 2 cores on the game was running buttery smooth...n the graphics are on par with my PS3... So that's the power of tegra 3

So we all know the news of the new nexus, the 16gb costs the same as the HTC one x if I sell mine. All of the internal specs seem great I'm not bothered about sd card, non removable and lte. I just wanted to know is anyone else was buying it by trading their hox in, I just care to know if the camera quality, screen quality, DAC are better then the hox because these are the main reasons why I would buy it since the hox has bad output speaker, battery life, overheats and I don't what a phone with a worser screen then my current or I'll feel like I've downgraded instead.
The camera that is used is a Sony bsi camera in the nexus 4, which is the same as the iPhone 5's. I do like the hox camera but it is behind the iPhone 5, s3 and lumia 920 in terms of quality and colour reproduction. I was watching the verge video which stated that one of the main people behind the nexus 4 said they spent a lot of time making it good at low light shoots which the hox suffers in. The one x+ is good too but I don't like the 40nm CPU and the material used as it gets dirty to easily. So what do you lot think is it worth the trade or are you happy with the hox?

N4 > HOX in almost every way. I'm definitely going to make the switch
I'm fed up with waiting for updates, stock buggy Rom, overheating and bad battery life.

I've only ever had HTC android phones (Hero>Desire HD>Sensation>EVO 3D>One X), before that I was using HTC windows phones, but I'm very tempted.
I am also so very tempted to do this, I really like the Nexus devices and I've had it with HTC !!
How would you sell yours? Ebay? And then purchase the Nexus 4?
What happens if I've got 16 months of a 2 year contract left? Could I just sell the HOX, buy the Nexus 4 and then pay the contract for the minutes? etc?
Yeah I'm trading...I think..well till I read the reviews
Partly due to aosp. Nice looking.
I'm not adding much to trade though.they can jog on

I'm going to try Gumtree first, then eBay then buy a N4 with the money.
You can put your sim into any unlocked phone and continue paying your bill as normal.
Hmm I'm happy with my HOX but I want the latest and greatest. The major selling point is that it is a nexus device.
I could recycle my HOX for £195 that wouldn't leave me far off the money needed, but I'm not sure its worth it.
My one X does everything I could possibly want at the moment.
If the N4 had LTE capability, maybe I would be completely swayed.

I'm broke, but selling my HOX should cover most of the cost
I absolutely love my HTC One X, it's a great machine,
but I'm unhappy what is happening in this device section.
People are ignoring forum rules, no respect among each other, moaning about the device, comparing it with other manufacturers and so on.
Jelly Bean rocks on HTC One X, battery live is awesome and the rom flies.
I've see the Nexus 4 video but I don't like the design of the machine and the OS has some new stuff but not so impresive to my opinion.
Anyway if I sell my HTC One X, I'm going back to Microsoft, the HTC 8x or the Nokia 9200 are looking great.
I still doubt to choose between those two phones because the Nokia has a Carl Zeiss lens but also the HTC 8x seems to have a amazing camera with new technology.
So probably one of those machines will be my next phone.
Shame to hear that Leo.
Hope you can stay with your One X and also you can get a W8

im with you buddy..selling my phone and going for the Nexus 4...will be my first Nexus so looking forward to it...just need to sell this bad boy first though
For me HOX is amazing phone. Solid in hand, looks amazing. I really do not understand why battery life is bad .. i am having 48h with daily use.. at some point even more. With that kind a battery and stock rom 2days+ is great, isn't it? 3~5% battery loss in deep sleep (night time) 8~10h.
Agree that Nexus 4 should be good, better than HOX performance/camera wise. Still like the looks of HOX more than N4.
For a quad core beast... what do you think?
The previous single core phones I owned even couldn't make a full day without charging.

Go for the Nexus 4. Any Nexus device is so much better than an hTC device. Always up-to-date sources, working drivers, best support. hTC just lost it along the way.
the sony bsi camera in the n4
the s4 pro dac
and the lg screen
three of the toppest specced components in android history. hell ya. too bad im poor

Just don't expect an HTC ONE X - grade screen.
On the Nexus 4, whites aren't white, more like very soft gray.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and am thinking of switching to a One X. Not sold yet, though, because of the device's speed and Android's ugly apps. Thinking of iPhone 5 (but am not rich so can't afford it) and Lumia 920 (same).
Hey guys ..... Just wanna take your advice about the one x ,since I want to get one...but want it to be as I want ....

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.
