looks like a review is up, although it will need translating
Chrome translated the review for me. Here's the meat of the conclusion:
It's time to take stock, and, unfortunately, in many ways I have to admit that the HTC One X turned out not the way this unit is pictured in person I am. What I wanted to see the new flagship of HTC as a user and fan of the brand? First, the significant improvement of the camera, and such changes are announced by the company. According to the pattern that was in my arms, I can say that the quality of the camera HTC One X not only departed from previous models of the manufacturer, but in some ways even became worse. Secondly, I would like to see a new flagship has become more flexible and open, in the sense that buying a phone for 30,000 rubles, I would have received at the hands of high-quality and highly customizable tool. However, HTC One X is not a trivial slot for memory card, so that the flagship is limited to 25 gigabytes, is used here is still not the most common format microSIM, which also adds a smartphone points. Thirdly, HTC over the summer last year, trained their users to the fact that if the body is smart and Beats Audio is 30,000 rubles, the kit you will find the just-like-quality headphones from the Beats. Here, it is not.
Of course, the smartphone has many strengths, without thinking it is an excellent display, quality plastic and, to my taste, just a gorgeous, fresh design vehicle for the company. In addition, we should not discount the HTC Sense 4.0, although the interface is the company "better" is not quite clear, it still remains the strongest link in the company's products, giving users a convenient box of HTC phones to make calls, e-mail and much more.
With all of the above disadvantages, I must honestly admit that I like HTC One X. First of all, its design (talking about the device in white), second - still comfortable Sense, and the third - the fact that the aggregate of qualities, this little smartphone stands out from the dozens of Android-repetitive clones. Simply put, I see the sparkle in it, there is a sense that it put the soul, and let's turned into such a controversial product. But if we try to answer the question, I would have bought a HTC One X, or wait a Samsung Galaxy S III - the answer is unambiguous, we must wait for the flagship of the Samsung and then draw conclusions. The new flagship of HTC's success with some points of view, but others turned out to be not good enough, this machine feels the potential, but the company failed to disclose to the end. I would like to make it like a fairy tale, HTC have taken into account the problems and errors with the release of One X (no memory card slots, frankly Camera Raw, I do not know what was going on in the module itself, or in software) and then offered to users an updated version of, say, HTC One X2 or something like that. But is it possible in today's world of commerce and endless racing technology?
Ouch :-( That doesn't sound too positive..
Using google translate the conclusion seems to be:
Bad
- Camera is worse than he expected and in his opinion worse than some previous models
- No SDCard slot
- Micro SIM
- No Beats
Good
- Excellent Display
- Quality Plastic
- Gorgeous Fresh Design
- Sense 4.0
He likes the phone but feels HTC just missed the mark slightly. He would need to wait for the SG3 specs before making a decision. He hopes for a HTC One X2 with the bad points fixed.
Indeed.
I will really consider if to return this phone or keep it

I actually think its quite positive. If you look at the bad points then we have known about 3 of them for a long time. For the camera part we have hamdir who will guide us on how to optimise it from a usage point and then we have a lot of dev's who will hopefully be able to tweak it. Also this is just one persons view.
Also I noticed he stated the battery was ok no better or worse than other android devices and he stated "When watching a video of the charge lasts for 4-6 hours, depending on the quality of the preview clip, and the selected level of brightness." Which seems ok to me.
Most of the bads aren't a surprise and therefore not bad to me. But if the camera is bad, then there is really something wrong, since the camera is supposed to be one the biggest selling points. And if it isn't great, I will return the One X that I expect to receive in a few days.
But I really hope it isn't true...
i don't really think micro sim, no memory slot, and no beats headphones should really be counted so negatively. the camera is another thing, though. i still want one because i already know the quality of Samsung software and source code, which is bad.
i'm hoping for an engadget or techradar review monday, those are my go too sites for mobile phone reviews.
Bought the phone mostly for the camera, hopefully software updates can improve it

He also notes that he was on preproduction firmware (which may imply preproduction hardware), and notes that while there was no flex or creak initially, that after a week or so he could move the screen about a millimeter by pressing down in the middle of the left edge, as shown in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj-CYNDfd6c
That's pretty alarming, and I hope limited to being a preproduction quirk.
Oh, and he says that he couldn't register multitouch beyond two fingers in any test app, although he knows that a three-fingered swipe starts the remote video function. Hope implementing that function doesn't prevent three-fingered touch, because I use at least one app that specifically needs three-fingered touch to pan.

I don't see if he mentions his settings, but his photos are noticeably, significantly less sharp than we've seen from users here.
Let's not forget that if phones came out the box perfect and problem-free, we wouldn't be here on XDA!
Half the fun is going to be identifying the flaws and working on setting them right.
Regardless of how the forthcoming reviews turn out, I think the One X is going to be a solid platform to do that on, and is going to have massive amounts of support and development here.
Bring on full root, s-off and kernel source code!
I'm starting to think his pre-production firmware may nullify much of his review. Just tried the video samples after they took forever to download, and both seem to show extreme frame dropping.
The google translate is not superb, I didn't understand a thing about speaker volume for ringtones nor the screen under sunlight performance

For the multi touch, I can tell you there is an option in the settings which allows the phone to register more than 2 simultaneous touches. It registered all my 10 fingers, though it was hard to put them all on the screen and move them around

It seems that HD video reproduction is not fluid, only with low bitrates. That's a HUGE turndown, for me.
Unless I've misread the translations, The only main bad point is the camera & in all videos & test shots I've seen - the camera is great!
What a stupid review.
No micro SD slot - Google has already stated they want it done this way, as external sd slots actually cause problems & slow the device down. (HTC are offering dropbox as a compromise too)
Micro sim - i notice it wasn't a bad point when apple did it. (apparently micro sims will become the norm for everyone in future devices anyway)
Basically, they loved the screen, speed, sense & design yet still thought up some rubbish to put a negative spin on the review.
Talking of the SGS3 to see how this device compares? - who the hell does that? - the sgs3 is still just an idea, a prototype hasn't even been introduced yet & no device should ever be judged on another device, a review is supposed to be of this device, & this device alone.
Forgive me if I pay no attention to this 'review'

You've misread the review. He criticized quite a few things, but most of them seem to be either user error, or likely related to the fact he didn't have final firmware.
One thing stands out as alarming, though. He noted that on his sample, within just a week the gorilla glass section of the case had come loose from the unibody, and could move up and down by around a millimeter when pressed.
There's a video making the problem clearly visible; hopefully it's just a handmade preproduction body that doesn't have the same tolerances as a final release product.

Either it was user error on the reviewer's part, or his preproduction firmware lacked the feature.

Yes I saw that, but I've never heard of this from anyone else, not even on demo units & HTC couldn't afford for this to happen on mass production.

Just a background info: I have a young family member that needs phone and I have bought her at first a "cheap" Android phone from Virgin Mobile and that was a disaster (slow, froze all the time, etc.). I replaced that with a supposedly powerful phone - Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph. That is another disaster, as the phone was launched half-baked. If you Google this phone, there are issues from the phone ringing only once to running out of storage because the phone keep generating large alogxx files.
Anyways, she is getting tired with these issues (and so am I!!) and I want to get her a pure Google phone - the Nexus. But before I jump in and buy this, is there any issues with this phone that I need to be aware of? Keep in mind the issues I mentioned above, which made the using an Android phone really painful for her.
Thanks!
Pure Google =No Issues. It's kind of understood around here, not that I expect everyone who posts here to know that.
I would venture to say it's as good as it gets, the Galaxy S III has better specs, but a few issues and hey, you can't beat Pure Google, we'll be first to Android 4.2, whatever it's called.

nah, just don't go anal on the screen.
AMOLED screens get burn in from images that don't change over long periods of time (nav bar), but that's... eh no big deal otherwise Samsung wouldn't use AMOLED, also found in S III BTW...
You'll see a lot of threads about weird charging behavior, that's this phone's main issue. Every phone has its issues and this one is rather menial, not like a power button that tends to break...
I haven't updated my profile for the new GalNex....

The screen is an issue look at the sticky on the top of the Q&A section.
After updating to JB, the sound is ridiculously low. Volume+ is the solution for ICS but not working on JB. That is the main issue of this phone.
Don't want to put you off but I have had issues with the hardware. The USB port is dodgy and known to fail, with lots of strange charging behavior as already mentioned in this thread. Also they are prone to dieing and you have to plug it into a USB port with no battery to revive it. Maybe I was unlucky with early versions, or have they still not fixed it?

Maybe. Maybe a new one is coming, but what are they going to improve, what are they going to make different that will urge us all to upgrade to yet another Pure Google phone?

Not us...people who want to get one, they should hold off. It cant be worse than the current one...that would suck. (not saying its a bad phone...just saying that they new one shouldn't be worse than the old one) :fingers-crossed:
Aside from the screen burn-ins and discoloration in low brightness, the phone is actually fantastic.
Even the relatively outdated 5MP camera is actually pretty good. Although it has less MP, the quality of the sensor is actually great.
Also, just give your daughter the pure Google experience. It's almost flawless in terms of software (IMO), so it'll be a welcome change from her previous two phones. Just treat her well with the G'nex before she gets iPoisoned and we lose another poor soul to the dark side:crying:

EXACTLY!! She has been eyeing the iPhone 5!
But honestly, she was getting tired with the Android "experience", especially with the last 2 phones. The Motorola Triumph was $299 and it was piece of crap! This gives Android a bad name. This 3rd phone, the Nexus, HAVE to be the right one... seeing it's Google who sells them, not Virgin Mobile or some other carrier.

Uh oh... not nit-picking here but its must be pretty bad that flashing a custom ROM is needed to increase the volume size... Hmmm.. I wish the Nexus is sold in a retail store so I can try it out! I believe Google charges 15% restocking fee for returning a phone?
One person complains about volume, no need to call off the bets.
I admit I have to turn it up more than my Thunderbolt, but it's always loud enough without closing in on the right side of the volume bar.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Samsung plans to sell refurbished Galaxy Note 7 handsets, according to a new report.
After two dramatic recalls, termination of manufacturing, and a plea for customers to turn off all Note 7 handsets forever, it was safe to assume Samsung had killed off its latest flagship for good. But a report from The Investor, the Korea Herald’s business blog, suggests that Samsung isn’t quite done with its most fiery phone.
Reporters at the publication, which is based on Samsung’s South Korean home turf, believe that Samsung may begin selling refurbished Galaxy Note 7 handsets as soon as 2017. One industry source is quoted as saying: “Samsung has not made a final decision yet, but it will likely sell the refurbished Note 7 units next year.”
According to the report, Samsung will likely target emerging markets like India and Vietnam, where low-end phones are typically popular. The Note 7 is a seriously expensive handset, but it’s likely Samsung will drop the price significantly considering the phone’s reputation, and the fact that they’re refurbished models. This would be an excellent chance for Samsung to rid itself of spare Note 7 stock, and recoup some cash in the process.

Samsung first recalled the Galaxy Note 7 on September 2 after an internal investigation uncovered a serious battery flaw that was causing some users’ handsets to explode. The phone maker then had to issue a second recall after it emerged that some replaced handsets were also exploding. The Galaxy Note 7 is now no longer available to purchase, with Samsung reportedly focusing all attention on next year’s Galaxy S8.
Samsung is expected to release its next flagship phone in February or March next year, with a Galaxy Note 8 model confirmed to be coming later in 2017.
Unfortunately, Samsung declined to comment on this article.

In a way that makes me happier as nothing id like more then to keep my N7
After they have safely deleted all the data from ex owners I suppose?
I hope this is true. Most likely they would be using a smaller battery and different battery design. I could live with that. I am still using my N7 - I would turn it in for a "refurb" N7 gladly.
Oh Ryland. Who and what are you. Gullible? A shill?
Really. Chill out. I for one would definitely buy a Refurbished Note 7 like yesterday. You really are pouring out so much emotional energy into all this. My question is, why?

Smaller battery? Most phones of similar caliber coming onto the market have MUCH larger batteries. Mate 9 Pro, for instance, is what, 5000mAh

None of the other phones have a curved screen with the battery curved on the edges to fit snug up to the curves of the display. So I said smaller battery so give a little more room for Samsung to use a more conventional battery shape. Just a guess I am making. Maybe they found some other kind of reason that was causing the very rare instance of thermal overload. Who knows. If they are really going to be selling refurbed N7's, then that means that they most likely figured out the issue and are confident they have it fixed.

No, as I have the one I want now. And doubtful we ever see the above phone in the US anyway. I actually am not a big fan of the edge display, but I am a big fan of the basically bezeless display on the sides that the edge screen allows.
So, it has been said this is old info and it won't realy happen: http://www.androidcentral.com/selling-refurbished-galaxy-note-7s-2017-would-be-completely-mad
If the oneplus 5T/6 is the same as the oneplus 5, just with no bezels and waterproofing, would you buy it?
No bezels and waterproofing makes it not the same. With a new screen means no jello effect so it would definitely make me purchase one again. I'd hopefully a bigger battery and 1440p screen as well.
No is too big for me.
I am already already with the 5.5 inches overstrained but as far as first will be with the remain.
Nope, I like the bezels and the current design of the O5.
Well if oneplus 5T comes out then Op6 is coming in 6 months or so its not worth upgrading from Op5 to Op5T.
Nothing out today is worth upgrading to. Maybe next year.
If not more expensive than the OP5, there's a lot of chances. (not owning a OP5 currently, wanted to but it's out of stock)
Wow, that's not even a question I'm buying the 5t as soon as I can click submit on the order page. Then I'll sell my 5 later, then when the 6 drops I'm gonna attend early drop & hopefully I can decipher the code quick enough to get the big bundle half off. So yes, I'm getting any phone, that's a upgrade, that oneplus releases. I'm on iT, it's so easy to resell a OnePlus phone too, after you buy your upgrade sell the old one when you find a good buyer, for example I bought the 5 first, then listed my midnight black 3t for 420 on Craig's list 8 days later it sold, Same with my oneplus 2 I sold it for 150 3 months ago. OnePlus is the business. Their phones are popular so people buy them used all the time, you can have your cake & eat it to. Get the 5t & the 6 Bros
Its a waste of money if you have a 5 already. The hardware will be exactly the same minus a different design.

One Plus was previously caught making phony posts on various sites to create enthusiasm for upcoming phones. Does this post seriously sound legitimate to anyone? Not only does this sound like a corporate commercial but posts almost identical to this one turned up on XDA a couple months ago when rumors of the 5T first surfaced.
If there is an OP5T the resale value of the OP5 will likely drop by 70-80% overnight because most people aren't going to want to purchase an OP5 with a defective display if there is an OP5T without the defect. Anyone who thinks this phone will have good resale value is nuts.
Most people don't even know what "Jelly Effect" is or even will notice it.

Probably not for me. The vertical space in the screen is minimial when you take into fact that you have to use the nav bar on the bottom now instead of the capacitive buttons, and then then the finger print scanner moves to the back, too. So basically you get an extra 1/4 inch of usable screen, plus I prefer the finger print/home where it is.
It'll be nice for videos and games, and water proofing is nice (if it has that), but I think I'll just wait another 7 or so months for a real upgrade. But who knows. Maybe I'll become envious and buy one!

I'm still rocking the OPOne, I was hoping to upgrade to the 5 when it was released, but the outdated design and lack of waterproofing, made me hold off. If the 5t/6 has the larger screen ratio and waterproofing, I'm in. I'd really like the main camera to have OIS though. Was leaning towards the LG V30 before the 5t rumors began.
1080 x 2160 vs 1440 x 2880 pixels (FHD vs QHD) and the pixel density has me a little concerned, will wait to see the reviews just in case.
If the 5T/6 releases as OP describes (no difference other than waterproofing and minimal bezels) then it's definitely a no go for me

I'm getting every new OnePlus phone they release and then I'm going to XDA I'm going to download a gripper ROMs and then I'm going to buy the next phone too and then I'm going to buy the next OnePlus tone and then about the next phone got it

Oh yeah OnePlus doesn't need to drum up support the number one that's why you probably spend all your time on the oneplus forums, check this out OnePlus is the best phone in the world and I love them and I like their phones and I am not being paid to say this and you can just go pound sound and fly a kite

Do I have to say it again yes I'm buying the 5:10 the 6th I'm going to sell my previous versions of the phone and then pay the difference which isn't that much money because the phones are only five hundred bucks and another reason I like OnePlus so much as the community there's only so many developers but please don't come at me like I'm some bot cuz I'll go off on

One Plus was previously caught making phony posts on various sites to create enthusiasm for upcoming phones. Does this post seriously sound legitimate to anyone? Not only does this sound like a corporate commercial but posts almost identical to this one turned up on XDA a couple months ago when rumors of the 5T first surfaced.
If there is an OP5T the resale value of the OP5 will likely drop by 70-80% overnight because most people aren't going to want to purchase an OP5 with a defective display if there is an OP5T without the defect. Anyone who thinks this phone will have good resale value is nuts.

Listen I really like the OnePlus phone I don't appreciate being accused of some Peddler pushing to OnePlus phone I love the OnePlus phone it makes me very very very happy and the discussion
No, One+ is supposed to be the cheap flagship killer. At $800Aud the 128 version was too much but I bit the bullet. Granted it is cheaper, in comparison , to the new flagships coming out, but the price is getting ridiculous....
It is a good phone but the lack of a memory card is the killer for me.
Like the RAM, camera is OK but definitely not the best.
If I was paying around the $500 for it I might be a bit more lenient but I still want my sd card...
One thing, love the fact it isn't a glass phone that MUST be wrapped in bubble wrap and cotton wool to make sure it doesn't get shattered or scratched with use but this still isn't a reason to get another One+...

Yeah, me personally, I'd be happy with great features and build quality, and skimp a little on CPU to lower the cost.
Give me the snapdragon 660/670 with 6GB of Ram, OIS camera, IP68, QHD+ and a tough metal backing.
Was wanting the pixel 2 xl but price killed it.. I lile the higher res screens .. and currently have a nexus 6.. so anything smaller screen wise wont do.. so this looks promising.. how does the current 5 work with Verizon? Saw the price drop on the Essential but seems to be plagued with network issues on Verizon. Also no root yet... Ouch

Yes, at a decent price and with the display mounted correctly (no jello effect...)
I purchased my Razer Phone though Amazon. Loved it right out of the box but noticed some issues. color glitching when the brightness adjusted and camera issues outside of the camera's known weaknesses. So I RMAed and and got a replacement. My replacement didn't perform as the first. Freezing in games and that color glitching was back but worse just less often. Double tap to wake also stopped it from charging. I was going to just get a replacement again from Amazon but I didn't see that option on the website. Only return.
So now I wait for a refund, pondering if I should get a different device or not.
The Razer Phone, should I give it a 3rd chance? 3rd time's a charm?
Should I get it through Razer directly? Amazon again?
I've had 3 now myself, last one had a scratch on the glass from new.
It really is hit and miss, the vibration motor on this one is horrible again - I just love the design too much to settle for another phone.
Wow, that's some bad luck. I bought mine from Amazon in January (still haven't figured out how to register for warranty) and I don't have any excess issues.
Go with something else. I've owned a tonne of devices over the years and this, aside from the awesomeness of having 120Hz buttery smooth scrolling and those brilliant speakers, is probably one of my most disappointing devices.
For a £700 phone...
--the camera is truly awful, no software is going to fix this
--you can see the structure of the display in bright light (really annoying and almost looks like a fault... it's not)
--proximity sensor bugs (you'll notice it if you make a lot of calls)
--certain games are buggy due to the refresh rate (if you use 120Hz)
--having the finger print sensor on the side WILL annoy you
--as of right now... there is almost zero development happening for this device - this could obviously change
Several software bugs have been bugging me since DAY 1, and none of the patches have fixed them. I've never had anything like that from other phones I've owned, with the stock software being super stable (especially with Samsung devices). If you want something with great features, great screen, fast, etc etc. go for whatever HTC come out with next or wait for the S9. They are always good, reliable and have top of the line features.
Ordered mine from Razer directly. Perfect delivery. Nothing wrong with my phone.
Camera is ok. Not great.
No software problems.

If in doubt submit a support request with Razer if you havent bought it from them, They will be able to tell you how to register it or do it for you but they would need a copy of the invoice/receipt

I do feel if your here asking the question you should give it one more try however with samsung new s9 and Pixel 2 there are other good phones out there in the same price range as the Razer.
Personally i think i would of perfered a better camera over the picture/sound/shape of the razer.
