HTC One X review: eXtra special

12 April 2012
How about this for a rebound after a rather quiet second half of last year. A massive change of game plan sees HTC focus on a special few products instead of trying to create a smartphone for every taste. An outstanding result of this effort...

Anonymous, 16 May 2012You write wonderful articles, but please stop the ridiculou... moreI've been completely igrnniog the posturing over this question.Trading patent licenses back and forth is common in industry. You want us to pay you for this one? Let's talk about how many of ours you're using, then discuss what kinds of money should change hands to make the scales balance. This also means that you want to check the other guy's portfolio _before_ raising a public stink and be darned sure how strong yours are, since if you ask too much the other party may be motivated to try to break them.

I want to choose the deirse s because of the aluminium unibody and htc sense and gingerbread 2.3 but the galaxy has a lot of dev support. And also i heard that sense 3.0 will not be made available to htc. Does that mean that newer android versions would also be made unavailable to the deirse s?? Please help.

Because am in well warranty, But service center guy told it will take 15days. I shocked and immediately called and rich the compliant on 16-07-2012 one guy called (Name is Tanvir ) said will receive my hand free before 24-07-2012. But Still now I didn't received it. 24th onward am trying to contact that Tanvir,Amjet and Mae non of customer care guys connecting the call to them. But Customer service team giving different answers. They are telling that it’s already dispatched, need to wait till week end. But when called the service center (FINE PONE SOLUTION, BANGALORE) they are saying it’s still in head office. yester day I reach my voice without my knowledge they closed the call. TODAY WHEN I CALLED, ONE MORE GUY IS SAYING DUE TO HARDWARE STOCK NOT AVAILABLE I NEED TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO. IF THERE IS NO PROPER SERVICE AND STOCK AVAILABLE WHY THEY LUNCHING THE PRODUCT.

For those people accusing htc of paying people to posting good comments on this phone, shut your big mouth..battery is fair,for me the space is big,the screen is excellent,camera is awesome. U will not regret it.

                    No 3g video calling option came as a shock,!! One doesnt expect to pay 34k on phone n not get this feature.. even the basic fnes of Nokia Samsung as cheap as 8k have the option of 3 g video call. It's really disappointing.

                            Just for those of you who are undecided, suggest you read engadget's SGS3 review. Conclusion of that review set out in quotes below!

                            "The worst thing about the GS III? No matter how hard it tries, it just isn't greater than the sum of the HTC One X's parts. That's not to say it falls short, but merely to emphasize that times have changed since last year's Galaxy S II, which landed on an unsuspecting world that was largely devoid of predators. The Snapdragon variant of the One X has similar computing power, battery life and photographic credibility, but it also has a much better user interface that sticks more closely to the guiding ethos of Android 4.0. The One X also has a more forward-looking physical design, while the GS III clings to the tried and true styles of old. Perhaps the biggest sacrifice you'd make by going for the One X over the GS III is the loss of the cheap storage offered by the microSD card. That's a painful thing to give up, but given how deeply we feel about the need for Android to move forward and not get stuck in a Gingerbread-flavored groundhog day, we might just take the hit".

                            Once you've read the article, you will also note the superior benchmarks the One S posted over the SGS3 and accept that bottom line, they are just numbers on a sheet!
