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.

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.

So, had the One X since release date, always had HTC before this. But after having all the issues that have been described here on xda, I spoke to my network (3 uk) and they have said that so long as its within 28 days of the 4/4/12 that they will either replace it for a new one or any other model that they stock.
Now, I'm a flashaholic. I do not want to use the HTC unlock method, always relied on the very clever peeps here for "alternative" ways of s-off. But as it seems the biggest team of Revolutionary aren't working on the One X. I'm considering leaving the HTC brand and moving to the Galaxy Note?
Have any of you guys left the note to come here? It looks the part on paper at least?
Anyone else from 3 UK willing to take the plunge if the offer was sat there?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I think you shouldn't switch to the Note...
Sooner or later there will be a S-OFF tool.
The NOte is IMO too big, but that's your decision. The other reasons why I dodn't get the note:
- DPI is not as high
- the PenTile thing, this means the display has 33% red and blue subpixels. some people don't notice, but I do: there's not a single straight line. it appears as if every other row of pixels was shifted by 0.5 pixels; I just can't stand it.
I highly recommend you to check if that's a problem for you before getting it. Just saying
P.S: Even though the One X isn't perfect, it's the phone the closest to perfect I ever had.
Iff i waz you id go for Gnexus over note the note is ridiculously big my sister has it as a work phone
Mod or Die
see the thing is i am on Three UK as well. and i had the choice for my two replacements i had so far to go for a different handset. and both times i got close going for the gnexus. now all this hype about quadcore for me i am sorry i really did not notice it so far with the HTC one x...yeah apps load faster than ever but 50% of the apps stuck in loading phase...anyways still a great phone i say and i am more than likely to stick with it because i am really liking stock Sense now
but i do miss overclocking and undervolting and also using an AOKP rom...tough decisions to make one thing i do hate about this phone is though why HTC locked the bootloader..why not just unlock it..
Note no way man stay clear of that huge thing..no no no
Hmmmm? Thanks for the replies folks. As for the size issue (that's what she said!) Im not thay concerned, saying that I've never held one! But I currently have a Advent Vega, that if the Note could replace might be a good thing? Kinda streamline my tech, save me carrying 2 devices?
But aswell as a flashaholic, I'm a sucker for POWER! 1.5ghz quad core vs 1.4ghz dual core? I feel in a real dilemma, I love HTC, always have, but the ONE X has, so far, let me down.
@Dobbi, I will look into the red/blue pixel issue, I have now been spoilt by the quality of the one x screen! It is nice.

all honesty mate...it is like cameras..more megapixels does not mean you are going to get better picture. same with the quadcores..so far i would say and yes i know i might get flamed for this my s2 dual core felt bit more snappier at times compare to the one x. so if you are really a flashaholic then maybe the phone to go for is the gnexus...the development for that phone is crazy...but at this moment of time i still will go as to say i will stick with the one x..this must be the longest time i gone without flashing
In all honesty too........my Sensation felt better than my One X.
Please don't go mad at me people. I not a massive sense fan, so that was always the first thing that went once s-off was achieved and all the roms about seem to be sense based or desensed. Not AOSP. I respect all our Devs massively and I am not clever enough or do I have time enough to even begin to learn how to build roms from the ground up using AOSP. But even the sensation was lacking in these roms.
Oh man. I may have to have a long hard think about if I'm ready to leave HTC.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Note is excellent don't let anyone put you off it, I've played with it many times and the size is a sweet spot. I've had the S2 before the HOX and don't find the HOX that much of a jump in size. It's nice the 4.7" but the 5.3" of the note gives you some more real estate.
You get use to the size after a while.
I'm holding ship with the HOX for the time being the only phone that can sway me away will be the SGS3 only if it excels the HOX but for me it'll be down to the software side and not hardware. Sense > TouchWiz.
I'm in a similar situation only that I've not ordered my HOX yet and I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus. My biggest issue is to be frank all the problems you guys seem to be having with the htc , i dont care what people say you should NOT be having these sort of issues with a final retail handset. I jumped to samsung with the galaxy s2 after years of htc handset (android & wm) and looking back I'm glad I did. How can anyone defend this locked bootloader policy? seems like the days of simply plugging the phone in and flashing straight from the box are gone for htc which brings me onto samsung.... everything is geared towards flashing there phones, hell Ive even got a £2 clip which unbricks your samsung should anything go wrong With all that said I always a space in my heart for htc just a shame this whole mess may have put me off this time round.
Come next week when I can upgrade I'm 90% sure I'll order the samsung note partly for the reasons above and partly because it is such a sweet device despite the PenTile display which is not noticeable, trust me
oh and dont go for the gnexus if you use any games what so ever the gpu is crap and the main reason I switching (missing my psx gaming fun)

Let me know how that goes. If my One X replacement still has issues I might swap for a Note too.
I've used both nexus and note. Of the two the note is far better. After a day, the size is no issue. Plus the screen looks great, battery from what I've seen is good, but there is noticeable scrolling lag when compared to the one x.
That being said, the slight lag is not bad enough to deter someone. My dad loves his note

Right. I'm going to go into the 3 store to play with a galaxy note, along side my One X and compare them in real life usage tomorrow.
Real life usage, not stats on paper, not benchmarks, just what feels best. C'mon HTC don't fail me after 4 years of brand dedication.
Report back tomorrow peeps.

Isn't the Note still running Gingerbread. So performance might not be as smooth as iCS.

HTC One X Owners and potential buyers!
Would you buy it / buy it again if you had a choise?
Or you better give a chanse to Samsung/Sony/Nexus/LG/Motorolla?
Or just stay on your old device and wait untill something new arrives?
Definitely buy it again. Right now, it is still king of the market. NO ONE BEATS ITS SCREEN. and since screen is the number one biggest thing we interact and use everytime we use the phone, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART LOOOL.
In a whole package and a custom rom, the one x trumps any conpetitor out there as it has the best hardware foundation. GO DEVS GO

Hard to say... I might look for a similar device with a bigger/removable battery, external SD and USB-OTG support. If a device like that didn't exist, I might still buy it.

About battery: Read this (but we have now with the new base about 6h screen time and its still not officially released...i am not sure that i will use my phone 6h of the 17h i am awake every day)
About external SD: Its a smartphone not a PC, with the 28 GB (user available) i am really satisfied.
About USB-OTG: I am sure we will get it soon

I agree.
I would buy it again because I love the feel and look of the phone,
but an external SD would be nice
all honesty no i would not buy it again... i would go for the galaxy s3 just for the pure reason that the development for that phone is much bigger than the One X. but even though i would not go for another HTC phone i really do love my current one now even after all the issues my phone had
I definitely would. I always felt that Android 2.x was just not as polished feeling as iOS and I didn't enjoy it very much, but ICS finally closed the gap IMO. After that I was just waiting for some nice hardware to come out - high pixel density screen with nice colours (which pretty much barred anything AMOLED, since I've hardly ever seen one that wasn't blue tinged, which really bothers me), nice physical design, and powerful enough hardware to do everything smoothly. The One X is just about the first phone to meet all my requirements. The GNex was quite close as well though, being one of the few AMOLED devices I've seen whose screen I didn't mind, but at the time that the GNex came out I was not ready to move to a new phone yet.
In short, I love my One X. Nice upgrade from an iPhone 4. There's not too much I miss about the iPhone, and plenty of things I love about my HOX that the iPhone just did not have.

How about the apps and games that were on the iPhone 4?
I've also had an iPhone for about a week, and I have an iPod Touch, I love Android, but I'll be completely honest, the Android applications and games can't get nowhere near the level of the iPhone ones, not sure why but every iPhone app and probably game out there is beautiful, it's polished, some of the Android ones are too, but it's being held back by most of the ugly ones.

I think he's saying that you can flash everything to your hearts content but nothing the developers over at SIII will release will make you have the same screen the One X has, and this is the truth, doesn't matter if 1,000,000 developers group up to develop a ROM, the screen will stay the same .

There are only two games that I miss from iOS. Rhythmatic, and Strategery. There are a few other apps I couldn't find Android equivalents to but they were apps I hardly ever used anyway. Anyway, I still have my iPhone around, so I can use it as my mobile gaming device/iPod and use my HOX for texting/calls and Facebook/Twitter/etc. (iPhone could do it as well I guess, but I only have one SIM card, which is obviously in the HOX).

I usually don't play 3D games on my phones, never really got into the on-screen touch controls, I just hate how my favorite game Drop 7 looks DISGUSTING on the huge screen of the One X, if I could only normally play this game everything would be perfect.
I played it a few times. It was graphically quite impressive for a phone, but I didn't really get into the gameplay.

The HOX was my second choice device, my first choice being the HOXL (the 32GB intl version) but as for as I can tell it hasn't been released yet ans I am pretty happy with the HOX especially since the 2.05 rom base which is much smoother and responsive than the 1.2x base

Hello
I am planning to buy HTC One X international version for about 468$ from a local store where I can test it and so on. I now wonder if I should wait for a newer phone release within the same price range or wait for HTC One X price to drop more or maybe even wait until the HTC One X+ price drop and get it instead .
So
Get The One X now for 468$
Or
Wait until it becomes cheaper like 400$ or so few weeks later
Or
Wait for the One X+ price drops to 468$ and that way I get the better version for the same price of the old one
Or
Wait for 2013 phones to be released and get one of them instead or get the One X really cheap .
What do you guys think ? It is worth waiting and for how long ?
It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

I just got a One X myself and it is a pretty decent phone but if i had the chance to go back buy a different phone i certainly would.
Firstly the battery life isn't very good i have had a lot of problems with battery.
Secondly i have had a lot of reboots and freezes with the stock ROM this might be something to do with me being with Three who are useless and haven't provided important updates etc to us.
If you can get the s3 or Nexus 4 get one of them, if you are into iOS get the iPhone you know the phone is going to be stable, get updates on time etc.
Like i said the One X is a decent phone but it does have its problems
Good Luck with you're new phone
I think the One X is a VERY good phone. Obviously there is a smudge of bias on my opinion as I own one but from having used an S3 for a 1 month period before deciding that I didn't want it, I can tell you why ***In my opinion*** the One X beats it
Firstly, the screen is devastatingly beautiful, the colors are amazing, it's got sublime viewing angles near 180 degrees if i'm honest and it's just brilliant for watching HD content on, plus the screen is big enough that you can actually appreciate media content on the screen. Being picky when it comes to screens, it pains me everytime I use the S3 and I can see the pentile pixel grid and all the whites have a green tint to them.
Tegra 3, now I know it's a bit of a gimmick, but it gives a noticable difference in graphical quality than any comparible phone without tegra such as the Nexus 4 or the S3, also works beautifully with the screen
Design, much like the One X's screen, it's body is really well styled, the materials feel very premium and the handset just feels good, the design just has that wow factor which I felt when I first saw the HTC Legend. The S3 in this category cannot hold a candle to the one x, when I feel that glossy polycarbonate, my mind scream CHEAAAAPP!! I know it's not and I know it's the same material that the One X uses but it just doesn't feel like a £400 phone should. Also opening up the battery cover on the white version, you just see disgusting cheap white plastic everywhere which for a picky person like me isn't that great.
Camera, now this is a very subjective area and I much prefer the pictues the One X produces, the S3's pics feel very very saturated in terms of colors where I feel the One X is more representative of the true color, again, this is entirely subjective and that's how I felt.
Sense UI is amazing, yes it's heavy and yes it's buggy sometimes but it's so much more polished than Touchwiz feels and I just like the interface more, there's more "customisability" and it's a nice nice interface to use. I prefer the vanilla android UI just because it's really good nowadays but at the time of purchasing, there were no other phones that bragged the same specs which came with stock Android, and even now if I could change the One X for the Nexus 4, I don't think I would for the reasons above.
Final reason I got a One X is because I really like the fact no one knows what it is and that not many people own one. It's like an exclusive club which people who appreciate Sense can join!
We seem to have veered off topic.
Waiting is a mugs game, it'll always get cheaper, there will always be something better coming along.
What BenPope said. Basically the choices boil down to pretty much buying One X+ if you can afford it, otherwise One X, or you could wait for about a year (or longer) for Tegra 4 devices to come at around mentioned price range.
I bought One X about two weeks ago and all I can say is that I don't regret that decision for a moment.

More than happy!
I am thinking to buy another phone, (will keep my One X for sure) but after a lot of reading, there is nothing worth buying until new Tegra 4 comes out or when we see how new Galaxy 4 is performing after it comes out. At least for me.
Especially now I am happy for having One X because new kernel source is out before two days ago and there is lot of good developers working on optimize it and push the best out of our HOX. Also many quality custom roms, Sense and AOSP and excellent developers support and help.
I am having really good time playing with my One X.
Are you ahppy with your One X
Yes.
For me it is perfect. Works great, no bugs, looks good.
I like HTC Sense (this is my second HTC phone).
Only 2 drawbacks, depending on your usage habits:
If you are a heavy "power user" a phone with a replacable battery might be advantageous so you can switch out halfway through the day (this is not an issue for me)
If you are big into flashing Roms themeing etc a phone without the S-off issues of the One X

Power is a bit of a problem but for me its not that important as I am used to charge my device every night.
If only the losing carrier signal once or twice every couple of months bug didnt exist the HOX would be perfect.
Be as it may I pretty happy with the beast.
If I were you though I d go for the HOX+ or wait a couple of months for the M7
It's a disappointing performance from HTC one x considering the quad-core ,it should fly it doesn't
No its the last HTC for me after the Desire which was easy to flash roms,this requires too much time and effort.Appalling build quality mine went back 3 times in first 6 months.
i am happy with my one x without sense
I must be very happy because I haven't swapped it for something else. Normally I don't keep a phone more than 2 months let alone 10 months on the one x.
Although I've initially suffered because I couldn't get used to getting only 3-4 h of screen on-time with this beautiful device, I've now come to love it despite that. After all, the stand-by time can be pretty great and most other devices out there have similar average screen-on time (except Razr MAXX and Note 2).
I actually think Sense is the best looking OEM skin and the 4+ version is oh so fluid. Love the camera and the display of my One X too.

Not really , did you compare it to other phones , usually ppl compare it with s3 since it's rival to hox and both phones are great , it all comes to personal preference in there. If you're talking about gaming on HoX well that could be an issue for some games since devs are more confortable optimizing it for other devices then tegra. As for speed in system hox is pretty fast considering it has ONE OF THE HEAVIEST systems among them all, If you put CM rom on it you wont see any difference btw nexus 4 , s3 or any other phone, it's the sense that is lagging it sometimes. Anyway with new kernel source this should be fixed in no time.
The only real issue for me with hox would be battery life screen on time. I hit avarage 4:30- 5hrs , but hey s3 hits the similar screen on time, besides with 2100 mah battery in hox we can hit over 6hrs screen on time, it's just hard to get one of those.
Besides with ViperX rom theres none phone equal with customization , infact i have 2 friends who sold their s3 just so they use Viper Rom lol. Besides i think roms for hox are better then on s3 , i've seen s3 roms and theres nothing much changed compared to Stock rom. If you like flashing and custom roms then hox is great imo.
S-off isn't really an issue except when updating comes to the matter if you're branded , but for flashing i don't mind using pc to do it.
Anyway overall i'm happy with my hox. And i'll most likely keep it even when i get the new flagship this year simply cuz it's beautiful to look at it , talking about screen and design lol.
On a side note Sense 5 is rumored to be MUCH lighter OS then sense 4+ , and if you ask me 4+ is very snappy after jelly bean . maybe with android 5 our battery and snappiness improves. At least it should. And HoX should recieve sense 5 for sure , since OEMS are obligated to give to the users at least 2 major updates . we got 1 , JB , now is time for android 5 Key lime pie Anyway i hope i helped you with this post.
Edit - Since you're considering btw Hox and probably s3 since theres nothing else to chose from with this price range i'll put it simple for you.
If you want better battery go for S3
If you want design , beauty and BUILD quality go for hox.
But the best of all you should do this, go in the store and use both of these and then make up your mind. Before that you might wanna read few reviews about hox and S3 , just remember most of the reviews are based on ICS hox , after jelly bean hox is claimed to be faster then S3 in 90% of the comparable tests heres the link proving it. http://www.gsmarena.com/jelly_bean_update_for_htc_one_x_boosts_performance-news-5010.php
Once again the best thing to do is go in the store and review them both by yourself.
actually if you have thousands of cores, Android phone will still have a bit of lag/stutter. even iOS have it when memory almost full.
This is all dalvik related, and unless Google slowly migrating to other language, the lag/stutter will never be gone. it is all because of unstable frame rate. one time you play a game is smooth, next time it stutters.
So yeah, I am very much happy with my One X. The only reason for me to change phone is because of the design and dev support. Well probably not change, just add my collection. The day Google fix the stutter is the day even dual core is lag free that it doesnt matter what phone you have. because, you see, we have a quad core, but S2 still performs the quite the same. So whats the difference there? I have to admit Samsung made great processor that overshadow the lag, even though i still notice slight lag over time.
anyway, One X design still one of the best. and also, i still have my HTC Desire around to remind how grateful i am to actually have a fast and beautiful one x, because when i go back to Desire, man how slow it is back then but i found it fast before dual core is available.
AW: Are you happy with your One X?
I am happy only the problem whith the overheating i have
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
I must say that I was a little disappointed when I first got my HOX. Stock ROM doesn't make justice to this device hardware. Right now I'm on AOKP IceColdJelly and can say, for sure, that I coudn't be more satisfied. Custom ROMs unleash the true performance of this phone.
Having had a forced switch to a Nexus 4 as a result of bricking my One X (it was all I could afford), I thought I'd give a few points of comparison. Firstly, I much prefer the 'feel' of the One X. They're both clearly very well made devices, but the material choices in the HOX allow it to both feel classy and be comfortable to hold with the lovely soft-touch back. The Nexus 4 is definitely not as comfortable to hold, and I have complete paranoia about having 2 big glass surfaces to break...
The camera on the One X blows the Nexus 4 out of the water. In fact, the camera on the One X is good enough that you probably wouldn't benefit from carrying a compact digicam around too, so long as you don't need zoom. Especially in low light (thanks to the lovely f/2.0 lens), I would say the camera on the One X is better than the latest Samsung handsets (which use the same sensor lol)... Although it does seem to have a slight tendency to overexpose and blow out highlights in bright daylight (easily corrected with around -1EV exposure compensation) and the default sharpening is a little aggressive - you might see some aliasing on diagonal contrast detail if you don't turn it down a wee bit.
Benchmark performance is obviously better on the N4, but given the margin, I'm surprised (and glad, since I have a Nexus 7 which would feel laggy otherwise) it's not really noticeable in day-to-day use - if anything, the fact that quite a few games are 'Tegra enhanced' makes the One X one of the best phones out there for a gamer, since stuff looks prettier...
Screen quality is very similar between the phones after using a different calibration on the Nexus 4. However, unlike the N4, the out of the box calibration on the One X is surprisingly good and I do miss the screen area 'stolen' by the soft keys on the N4. Both screens are a world apart from any phone I've tried in the past. They both have quite remarkable contrast (which blows my calibrated Dell IPS LCDs out of the water) although they obviously can't match the contrast of an AMOLED. On the other hand, they don't have wacky cartoonishly oversaturated colours like AMOLEDs.
I've been very positive about the HOX here, but I'm afraid to say I don't think I would take a HOX over several other phones if they were offered at similar prices, purely because the battery life wasn't good enough for me (although it may be for you.) Standby life is very good, but you'll be very lucky to get 4 hours screen-on time even with light usage,and even less if you don't like Sense and want to run AOSP/CM. Just browsing the web and watching YouTube, I got over 7 hours out of my N4 yesterday (It's my new baby, I've just been made redundant, have a lot of time to play with it ) That's a pretty significant difference!

u can say that im adoring my HOX in general, but the battery life worries me all the time (u get around 4 hrs on screen)
i was on ICS and now on JB (THE awesomeness) ..
Gr8 custom ROMs if u r interested (used 2 use Insertcoin but now im on ViperX 3.3.4 ... heck yea) alot of devs r working on this phone
we hope that the new kernel would fix some issues ..
Concerning its design, i think the HOX is truly a Masterpiece ..
It is indeed a Flagship phone ( battery )
I'd say, go 4 it
I am really happy with my One X. Hopefully it will keep me happy for quite some time.
AW: Are you happy with your One X?
I'm very happy with my One X . I've unlocked my bootloader on Thursday and now I love my phone even more. Thanks HTC for this great phone:thumbup:

This phone is great except for the abysmal battery life. I barely get 2 hours of screen time with it, let alone 3 or 4 hours. I use Spotify streaming regularly but this phone can barely last 4 to 5 hrs with that. One other minor problem is the poor sound quality and low volume compared to my previous iPhone 4S. I hope HTC fixes all these quibbles with the M7, or I might head for the iPhone 5s or SGS4.
I'm happy with my one x right now ...it's pretty usable for my daily use...
