* The official HTC One X thread *

the htc one XL wont come with quad core and it will only be 16gb. the XL is basically the one X shell with the One S components inside.

You are not going to see a one X replacement till next year the earliest as HTC has said themselves they are concentrating on a small range of handsets.

Its all a waiting game no doubt. i was thinking fo waiting too for the gs3 but to me there is no point. unless samsung has redefined battery tech, it wont trouch teh one x.

It wont have more then 4 cores, it wont be bigger then the one x, and i HIGHLY doubt it will have 1080p res screen either.

SG3 can maybe beat the one X is having more memory/storage and better UI(Debatable as once one x is rotted, you can put any UI you want) so what will the GS3 bring new to the table that will blow awyay a one X? not many IMO

!!! £340 of loveliness.

HTC are now back on top or near the top where they should be. Fantastic phone, great camera speed, and I haven't come across any major issues so far. Except maybe the flimsy micro SIM slot, and lack of Beats earphones in the box like the Sensation XL.

Much better overall phone than the Xperia S. Heck I even like the One S more than that. In the end, despite the much larger screen (as I'm used to 3.7"-4.0" handsets), the quad core and display quality won me over.

Will still be using the iPhone 4S though.

I went into 3 today and had a play with both the One S and One X.

The One X felt really nice, had a good premium feeling to it, it has a convex glass finish to it. The S is flat as far as I remember, and the screen (To me) didn't feel as nice to use as the convex version the X has. The S itself is more comfortable to hold in your hand due to the size of it. The white version of the X felt nicer and looked better (imo) where as the grey S was good. Both were very responsive and nice to use. The browser feature where the text changes to fit onto the screen is strange to adjust to, but it isn't as bad as what the guy made it out to be in a previous video review, definitely nothing wrong with it and the phone is still a pleasure to browse on.

I was very tempted to buy 1, but after talking to 1 of the guys in another store (CPW) he suggested to wait and see what the SGS3 brings to the table, and also that HTC will be realeasing another phone soon (Assuming the One XL). Always a waiting game, but if the SGS3 doesn't have some spectacular specs, I will be picking up a HTC One X or One XL.

I don't believe there is any indication that the One XL is being released anywhere but in the US.
That was certainly the case a month or so ago.

The One XL is the 4G version that is being released in America for Verizon (or maybe Sprint, I forget). The UK is not getting the One XL.

Yer, I edited my post - it meant to say US.

Aedus · 7 Apr 2012 at 22:31

Oh I see! I thought we were, shame.

So either the htc one x or sgs3. Really don't want to wait but I know if it comes out with a stupid spec I'd be kicking myself.

Nexus18 · 7 Apr 2012 at 22:52

I honestly can't see it being MUCH better than the X spec. The only areas, which will/should be a fair bit better is the camera/video recording and battery life and it will probably have an SD card slot as well as being able to remove the battery and if they don't have a SD slot, then probably 64 GB of built in storage.

Im not sure if people already know but when using apps that are not designed for ICS you loose about a third of inch of the screen for a menu soft button at the bottom of the screen.

Just a heads up.

///Rage · 7 Apr 2012 at 23:31

Personally im a fan of HTC sense. Really looking forward to the One X in white. I doubt the SGIII will be that much better.

Theres a mod on XDA for that to assign the switch window key to Menu. So you get the full screen back.

Robertnpmk · 7 Apr 2012 at 23:42

does it divert back once your back at the main screen? and do you have to root your phone to use it.

SIM free with discount

Also, isn't the One XL a dual core Snapdragon with only 16GB storage?

It is in the US - but who knows what will come out here in the UK - just look as how quick the Sensation XE came out after the OG Sensation.

Like i keep saying, you will NOT see a new flagship high end HTC device for the rest of the year as HTC said they are concentrating on a small selection of devices

Hopefully larger storage options, maybe different colour options etc. though... they need to keep the brand fresh in the face of SIII, iP5 etc.
