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.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if the camera focus laser can be programmatically accessed and used as a range finder to measure the distance to different objects.
I really hope someone here can figure out a way to do that. That would be the coolest add on feature ever in a smartphone!
I'll be glad to hear your thoughts about this idea.

You'd need LG to create an API to connect to the laser hardware. Unless they do it, probably not happening.
LG, create an API to connect to the laser/ir hardware!
please?
hehe
It was the first thing crossed my mind when I first read about this laser autofocus. I am waiting for it also.
Hello, the last days I was spending hours and hours to get an working solution for this functionallity. I already wrote LGs Support (3 weeks ago) to get some information how to access the light / sensor, but I didnt received an answer yet. :-\
And I'm sure Google wouldn't add this sensor to the Android API
So I think we have to solve it by ourself - if somebody wants to help me accessing this sensor or share information, please let me know. I got much more experiance programming an app than hacking hardware. :-\
This feature would be unique and would make the whole device a bit more special - no forked crap.

Hell it'd make someone a crap ton of money to do it in a golf app. Laser Range Finders are hella expensive. If you can do it on your phone for a few bucks, I bet a lot of golfers would buy that.
Well, I talked with LG, they say that it is cool (yea) but they doesn't have any plan to add laser sdk this year.

That's a pity. But if they have this functionality in their camera application, it shouldn't be too hard to make it available to the programmers.

I recently just thought about this exact idea and plan on trying to figure it out. My gut says the laser will not be useful to detect the distances required in golf. The maximum range of the sensor is probably not that far.
Anything on this yet? This would be super cool! Especially for archery. Wouldn't need to go much further than about 60 yards for that. Golf I could see being to far away. Come on guys! We got this! Sorry I won't be of any help. I'm an automotive technician not a computer tech. And yes I got people asking me for favors on their cars all the time so I know how it feels.
Good luck guys I got faith someone can do this!
I seriously doubt it would be much use beyond a few metres, the laser is far too weak and the receiver far too small. Its designed to be useful only up to the point that the camera needs it, generally speaking a few metres, beyond that the camera doesnt need to focus any further, its just going into infinite mode.
If the laser doesnt see any return of the beam it will just assume the focus needs to be infinite, its also possible the camera uses both the laser and contrast or phase detection depending on the situation. Anandtech believes the laser helps the camera to decide which mode to use, turning on the macro automatically and near instantly. The camera doesnt even need to try to focus in order to work out whats going on. This is why its so fast to focus and switch modes.
The further away the focal point is the less useful the laser is and the less needed it is anyway, if the laser cant provide useful data the camera will use traditional contrast detection.

Sad because this device has t even really taken off yet. If you look through the development of past HTC devices, we haven't come close to all the things that we can do with these.
I got my new HTC 10 just this past Tuesday and today (Saturday) I received my new case (Spigen), micro sd card, screen protector (Spigen), and charger. I am in for the long haul. I'm a bit disappointed on the battery life but I think it's because of all the apps running in the background. I installed Boost+ and hope that will help. Any other suggestion would be appreciated also. This is my third HTC phone (HTC Incredible, HTC M8, and now the HTC 10). I like HTC phone design and interface. I'm in for the long haul. Or at least until the next upgrade cycle ends.
To be honest, I will send it back today due to the followings:
- The charger stopped working at the 4th charging cycle (the cable is still working though)
- When I touch the lower part of the display near to the fingerprint sensor, you can see the touches on the display like on an LCD screen when you push it a bit harder.
upper part of the display is fine)
- The speakers are quite funny, you can barely hear the upper speaker (tweeter)
- The missing apps (like gallery, music player) are bad...I don't want to install a custom rom (losing warranty)
- The camera has issues and the quality is not good enough.... I am not sure if any software upgrade could solve that...
but yes I am just complaining and trying to find a phone which has a smoothness of a HTC, an audio quality like the Microsoft/Nokia mics, big 5.5 screen, android and maybe stereo speakers

Although I didn't hate my AT&T branded S7E I'm enjoying my HTC 10 much more with root and leedroid and the added durability of aluminum vs all glass. I do miss wireless charging and private mode. But totally worth the trade off IMO.
Yep, I returned mine. Probably a bad comparison comparing stock with rooted phone, but the missing "features" doesn't work for me.
Comparing my Galaxy S4 to the 10:
- No wireless charging
- Buttons too far down (And can't turn off the lighting completely. Also prefer a physical home button.)
- *ROOT* Plugging it in to charge turns on the screen (Big nuisance to me. If my screen is turned off and I want to charge it, what's the point of the screen turning back on?)
- Stock Android Quick settings (despise this, taking up too much space and takes 2 swipes to get to it with one hand)
- No IR (came in handy quite a few times)
- Air gestures (handy when I'm cooking, don't have to touch the screen with my dirty hands while scrolling the recipe. Or when I'm working on my car.)
- Weight (maybe I have girly hands and/or holding it wrong, but it hurts my hands after long periods. Or I needed a case to have a better grip on it.)
- and other minor things I can't think of right now.

be as it may, they are entitled to their own opinion. if you disagree a healthy debate is allowed but disrespect and calling someone a troll is flaming and its not allowed here on XDA.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect:
XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
If someone no longer has a 10 because they didn't like it, they won't be in this section anymore.
(if you bought a phone and hated it to the point of returning it, would you continue to stalk it's thread?)
Or people got rid of it and are still interested in the phone, hence why we have people who don't have 10's dropping by oftenly.
Someone's choice is not yours. If you want to get rid of it, go ahead. If you want to keep it, then keep it. You shouldn't need random people who you don't know make a choice for you that's hundreds of dollars worth. You have the device, you know what it offers. Does it suit YOU?

In all honesty, these kinds of threads are like ROM Vs rom threads that serve no purpose other than to start a war and troll. There's device reviews from multiple sites to read upon to see options available. Does someone really need a thread like this every week? I'm still trying to find out the purpose of these types of threads which can easily be solved by doing research.

Damn people are so sensitive. There's a reason they have a return policy. Do you not test drive a car before you buy it? I preordered this phone for a chance to sway me away from my 3 year old phone and it didn't. You can read/ watch all the reviews you want, study its features, calculate its pros and cons, it's still not the same as test driving it to its fullest. Keep getting butt hurt.

It doesn't have an IR blaster... but it does have an IR LED that is used for the Retinal Unlocking. I wonder if someone will be able to write an app that uses that as an IR blaster. Since it is front facing, it might be a challenge to use the screen and blaster towards a device, but its better than nothing.
Why would it be removed? Makes zero sense! !!

Percentage of people that use it against cost. It wasn't in the 5 either. Even if it only costs them 5 bucks to add it, 5 dollars times 1 million units (they'll sell more but for easy math) is 5 mil $$. Since usage is likely around 1% of users, they'd rather keep those funds for other features, R&D, or just profit.

Does your TV, DVD etc not come with a remote? If so use that...
What a dumb argument this is....

that is totally your opinion....and if you're going to pay 850 bucks for a phone it should have everything and more that your had in your last note 4.....i mean its like you going to your favorite restaurant and ordering your favorite thing and poof one day the restaurant doesn't use the same recipe on top of that they charge you more......some people use there phones way more than just for being phones

Fair enough but I still think it's a load of bellyaching over nothing. It's not there, doesn't need to, so move on & live with it.

I"m doing exactly that with the locking of the bootloader for US builds in combo with this I"m done with samsung and I'm not the only one as I've heard others as well....that is an Apple move if you don't like move on.....I'm on android for a reason
wow so much passion over a little issue. buy a htc phone which can also learn ir signals, or another phone that does have IR if you cant live without it... id pay $10 extra for the IR blaster edition but im not to going to stress over it
there are devices to plug into the audio jack and can send IR signals, most are crap but im sure one of them will work with most appliances... why dont you guys direct your efforts in that direction and then share your findings instead of making posts on every new phone that comes out.... just a suggestion.
here's a head start.

I have a Harmony Smart Control remote. Nice thing about that is it can work with its included RF remote or any iOS/Android device.
Works way better than any IR Blaster I had built into a phone (for one, it was RF & WiFi - the base station sends all the IR commands). Pointing a phone at the TV to control volume is so outdated.

It's been gone since the Note 5 so it's not to much of a surprise. HTC also took it out of the One this year. Looks like LG is the only sticking with it for now.

....you ask a smart ass question i give you a smart ass answer why the **** not?
It's amusing when people cling to the past. The past two product cycles there were huge arguments over the absence of FM radio. Granted there were valid points (EG: emergencies where cell lines are down, free music without data use) but at the end of the day FM radio on cell phones is dying.
IR is going the way of the Dodo too being replaced at a minimum by RF but more prevalently by BT and Wi-Fi. Seriously, as wireless tech has advanced what value does a line-of-site protocol still hold? The remote app I use on my phone to control my Galaxy View is BT. My TiVo Bolt's remote is RF and the app on my phone and tablets controls it by Wi-Fi. My thermostat is controlled by Wi-Fi. Amazon's Echo and other IoT devices use Wi-Fi. Sorry IR fans, your technology is dying. If you must have it then Samsung's phones aren't for you. Complaining about it isn't going to bring it back.
The point many are missing... Replaceable battery gone.. "don't cling to the past" (lol dumbest argument EVER... its like 2nd child is born without a nose.. and you expect 3rd..."nose...a thing of the past.. dont cling to the past).. so lol again. Moving on... Sd card gone... "don't cling to the past"...thank god people do still have a brain (and we got SD back)... now IR gone... again" don't cling to the past"... lol... do you notice a pattern here?
In this case I'll await the day phone function is gone and I'll be right there with.. "don't cling to the past"... lol
The point why the freck are we paying more and more money while functions are less and less.
You know what the bottom line is... for 5$ per unit they saved... they lost 900$ from me... and from others can they lose clients enough to make them lose overall... yes... if not this year... in the near future with next 5 features dropped.
Over and out

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!

Homeboy don't come at me like I'm some computer I love my OnePlus phone and I'm just saying how I feel I don't know who you are to assume that I'm a computer but I'm an actual customer who loves OnePlus and appreciates them and enjoy their phones and loves their prices so pound sand homeboy
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

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

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...)
