so i am stuck between one x and one xl , not sure which one is better for me. Can anyone tell me which one is better in general? Will the updates affect the efficiency of the handsets cuz afterall one x has a quad core chip and one xl has a dual core. Another thing is i have been told that yellow stints are often going to appear on the screen when overheated is that true and what about the wifi problem for the one x D: is that true too?
if you're into gaming or running a lot of apps at once, then the one x is going to be better, because it has tegra 3 with console quality game support. Otherwise the one xl has a very good processor for pretty much everything. The one xl will have better battery life, but half the internal storage. I had the option of both and I went with the one x because I need more than 16 gb storage, I like tegra 3 games, and I hate att branding on my phones. The one x will also get much faster updates since the one xl's updates are slowed down due to att.
hummmmmm... yea i use it mainly for gaming LOL well i think i am gonna go for the one x but arent the processors the same tho? and by battery life how much does one xl save?

Do some more research on your own. That's the best thing you can do.

i have!!!!!!!!!!!! but people keep saying different things like how they have the same speed and some say that this one is faster and that says that one is faster.... I AM SO CONFUSED DUNNO WHICH ONE TO BUY
You are looking to be told which one is better. the problem is... it's all subjective and based on everyone else's opinions and needs. Set the spec sheets for each side-by-side and do a comparison. More storage a priority? go with X. Gaming a priority? go with X. Updates a priority... go with X. etc etc. Perceived 'speed' is subjective too. Everyone has an opinion on it. But really, in the end I'm going to assume you won't notice much of a difference between the two different processors.
just need to find the one that has the most benefits to you personally.

Hi guys not sure if this would be classed as being under the HTC ONE X forum but should be as its aimed at it.
I've currently got a HTC Sensation XE and I'm looking to upgrade to the One X or One S now I'm unsure which one to go with the One X is about £70+ than the One S but has the super LCD 2 HD screen and the other only has the pentile super amoled which is similar to the original galaxy s's where I could see the pixels every now and again depending on the situation etc.
I'm torn between them both as I've been asked to check for any issues with either of them so im wondering is the performance increase going to be there on the one X as I've heard the tegra is slower than the Qualcomm s4 chips quad core wise and the dual s4 chip isnt far off in certain tests, benchmarks and real life?
Could anyone provide me with some useful information and feedback between them and if the performance is a step up from dual core or if its how android used to be not supporting dual core properly till later android builds etccheers

The quadcore for me has been a huge setp up compared to my note. Performance wise it is top notch. I don't care about benchmark scores. In day to day operation it is flawless. The choice is up to you but I would recommend the quad one x.

One X..
Superior display( RGB IPS vs pentile)
Superior build quality( polycarbonate vs some metal)
Bigger screen
Much better performance
Stunning looks( talking about the white color ofcourse)
N trust me ..u don't wanna be stuck with. Pentile display..its sucks ..especially while watching movies n videos..sold off my Galaxy Note coz of that..u will regret buying a pentile display..atleast I did..

i upgraded from a Sensation XE recently to a One X and i have been loving it. Sense has become smoother (albeit not earthshakingly smoother as the XE on ICS is doing pretty okay) and the screen is awesome.
One thing. I checked out the One S after using my One X for a few weeks. I could actually see pixelation. Kinda surprised since everyone says its not that big an issue. Seems like our eyes adjust very quickly to better display

My friends wife has the S, good phone but I would pay £70 just for the superior screen, let alone other upsells. OneX all day long.
Ill be honest I'd go for the x also...although I like my s...still want the x even now.
More for cm9 then the phone maybe...
Still what worries me also with the x is the amount of dodgy devices having to be replaced

As you asked this in the One X section, 'course a lot of people will tell you to get the X. Though (imo) it really depens on your needs.
I've got the One X for about a week now. I have to say, it is an awesome phone. I really really love the screen. Too bad it is this huge.. It just doesn't fit quite well in my hand. (true, my hands are kind off small) I used to have an HD2, which is only .5cm smaller yet way easier to hold and use with one hand. As I cycle a lot I find this quite important.
If it wasn't for the screen and dev support (don't get me wrong: both are very important!), I would actually buy the One S. In everyday usage the One S is just as fast (maybe even faster) as the quad One X. Unless you want to play a lot of high quality games. If there is any difference at all with 'normal' usage, you won't notice the 0.05 seconds. Also the S' battery life is better, and it looks and feels better imo. This is something really personal though.
But yeah.. Once you've seen the X's screen you won't be satisfied with any other.. Just don't buy it because you think a quadcore phone will surely be faster/better.
Just my two cents.
Yeah as said the screen on the X is much much better. I compared my X to a S in store and was actually surprised as to how much better it is. Also coming from the GS2 the X doesn't really feel that much bigger in hand, and I got small hands. I got the grey one, which looks awesome in my opinion. Even better than the white, but that's personal preference of course.

The One X has way more dev action, and its is likely to stay that way
As you are posting on xda I'm guessing that it is an important factor for you to consider

So, about the Samsung, Why no 3 colour pixels? Why so ugly? Why flimsy plastic?
Get yourself a Samsung, you deserve it!
You should get the HTC ONE X, it has a quad core plus that huge screen. You'll see that it will definetely worth it.

I currently have a Gnex and am considering the One X - One of my main complaints with the Gnex is that when I have a lot of widgets, it tends to lag a bit - this is despite using a custom ROM and kernel
Does the quad core of the One X solve this problem? Or does this lag still exist?
Many Thanks
No real world experience comparing the two, personally. But the benchmarks on the One X embarrass the crap out of the GNex.
http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-xl-benchmark-snapdragon-s4-tegra-3-67678/
Not sure what qualifies as "lots of widgets". But my One X is as smooth as silk, with 18 widgets, 4 of which display data (weather, appointments, stocks).
The US/Canada version (which this forum is specifically for) of the One X is dual core Snapdragon S4, not quad core Tegra 3. The international version of the One X has the Tegra SoC, so if that is the version you are interested in, there is a separate forum for it.

I have had both...cdma gn and currently dual core one x. There is no comparison...the one x does not slow down or have that normal android stutter...even loaded up with widgets like the gn did. Another benefit for me is that the keyboard does not start to lag after a while like it did on the gn. I tried every keyboard known on the gn, but after using it for a while (especially if I didn't clear memory), it would start to lag and become quite annoying. Read about the multitasking issue before purchasing though...for gods sake, we don't need another whiner on here *****ing about that. It doesn't bother me at all and works fine if you bounce around between apps within a 10 min window, but if you expect it to hold state much longer then you won't like it much. Bad ass phone in comparison in almost every way.

In a nutshell. The sgs 3 is the same processor as the one x. Performance will be about the same with multi tasking being better on the sgs 3. You give up an sd card slot and a removable battery in favor of a better screen and more of a solid feel.

I hope you're right man. I think it's the superior phone. If we could only get something like CM9 working completely that would fix the multitasking, then i'd have no complaints.
I had the one x , sold it and bought an s3 (att/rogers dual core version)
Honestly and truly the one x is a better device in some ways. The battery life is much better on the one x due to the lcd screen using less power despite the two having the same processor. The screen is better too, the one x screen is a lot better and clearer even at lower brightness. Not to mention it just overall looks better (brighter and truer whites, colours also actually look natural unlike amoled). And you cant even deny the fact that the one x has a much much better build quality its a better and more solid feeling device.
Though the siii has an edge over the one x in some areas like sense vs touchwiz, i find that touchwiz almost never lags vs the one x still had hiccups in some areas slight homescreen lag etc etc which is almost non existant on the siii. Plus for me the major issue that drove me away from my one x is the multi tasking issue, basically the one x has the most aggressive app switcher that kills an app almost instantly after you exit it, the phone is near useless at multi tasking. iE if i was listening to music and went to change the song while browsing, when i came back to the browser the phone would have to "reload" the app.
With that said, the two phones are practically neck to neck, just depends what you prefer as strongpoints and what you can live with as weak points. I would sell my siii in a heartbeat if the stupid multi tasking issue was fixed on the one x.
just my " two cents."

Hmm i got lucky and got a good price for my one x, bought it for 500, sold it for 480 and bought the galaxy s iii for 500.
I prefer the screen and build quality of the One X but love that Samsung released source code so soon (most likely just to steal sells and pull users like myself)
Everything else has been said. They both have advantages and disadvantages. It's pick your poison.
Me, I chose to go where the source was. No sense waiting 90 to 142 (if there's an update) days and using workarounds to unlock the bootloader if someone else openly offers both.
I know, I'm a broken record since I got this phone. I'll try to post a little less lol. Just frustrated with HTC

The main reason i dont like my GS3 is because the build quality of it feels a bit cheap, like the back battery cover already has a crack in the top right corner. I also get a few kinks like my SD card randomly unmounts, i get lags here and there, a few FC's, and launcher restarts. Other than that the phone is solid...Just a couple things i would expect it to tackle but samsung kinda over looked.
On the other hand ive used HTC devices before and there build quality even back when i was using the G1 was great, they make it feel solid along with adding the perfect amount of weight to the phone. Ive never had a problem with an HTC phone, only with there batterys, thats why i was kinda leery on the One X not having a removable back so if the battery does screw up like it has in my G1, HD2 and MT4G i can just easily put a new one in. But overall i dont mind it having less ram and no SD port because i pay for my dropbox monthly to have extra space.

Thanks for your questions. After all it is the General HTC one X forum!
Rather than waste a post with a school girl reply, I will help answer your question.
I have had both and took back the SGIII. I like the One X better, mainly because the SGIII screen does not work as well outdoors and the whites are more greyish than the One X.
Hope that helps?
What's not "wowing you" about the SGS 3? This info might get you a better answer.
We seem to be losing more and more people everyday to the sgs3. Source better come soon or I think this phone will be doomed development wise.

Ok so I am confused over which one to buy. The X+ has faster 1.7 quad core but the nvidia chip whereas the XL has the amazing Qualcomm s4 one. Which one is best regarding gaming? The X+ has better battery storage etc but better gaming?
You're asking a bunch of XL users which one to buy? You might get a slightly biased response here. Surely you don't need someone else to tell you how to spend a few hundred dollars. Personally I prefer Qualcomm chips. There's more development for the XL too. But in the end you're going to have to make the decision for yourself so this thread is a bit pointless.
Sent from my Evita
+1 with Qualcomm chips you can get S-off and more possiblity... One X+ is'nt a bad phone but....
I upgraded from my evita to a one x+ and was disappointed to the point that I traded back too a evita in the first 5 days development was not very busy no official cm and the thing was a fire hot battery animal
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
The X+ is HTC's red-headed stepchild (um . . . no offense to red-headed stepchildren). A mid-year incremental upgrade to the One X, the X+ was sold in extremely low numbers, with little support from HTC or the development community. The X+ was condemned to obscurity form the start, to say the least. I'd stay far away, as the slight increase in CPU power is not worth the downsides.
That said, unless you are really strapped for cash, do you really want to spend your hard earned money on phones that are a year to a year and a half old? I'd consider a more current device, especially if you are worrying about gaming performance.
One X over X+
Just acquired an X+ thru some linux PC work I performed. Used it for a week, back to my X. Def more custom roms & optimization support for the One X.
Hi,
I ask here for your help because I am planning to buy a new phone in the near future, and I am currently deciding between the One S with Snapdragon S4 and the One X with Tegra 3.
I would be very, very grateful if someone could tell me which one is better from the perspective of custom ROM development. Which one has more stable and less buggy CyanogenMod or similar AOSP-based ROMs? I've been lurking here in the One S and One X sections for some time and I can see that neither of those two phones is bugless, but I don't know how severe these problems are, if it is a dealbreaker or you can live with it. Also I get the feeling that the Tegra 3 is lacking in terms of development support and Qualcomm devices are better suited for future development. Is that so or am I wrong?
Another thing which I consider is the display quality, although it is not the main one. Does the One S screen have problems displaying white, does it have some tint? I generally love the AMOLED deep blacks, so these points will probably go to the One S.
Just one more question, how does the picture quality from the Sense camera compare to picture quality from CyanogenMod? I know Sense takes better pictures because it is optimized for the hardware, but is it a big difference?
Thank you very much for your answers, I aprecciate your help.
PS.: I posted a similar question here in the One X forum, if you want to take a look.
I had the One X and i still got the One S, so i can tell you what i like about them and what i dislike.
I would generally go with the One S because it has much much better ROM development because of the qualcomm chipset. Tegra is the WORST chipset i have ever used. I think its very hard to write drivers etc. for it. The One S has also the ability to get S-OFF'd which is a big plus for me personally. The guys at the HOX forums never managed it to gain S-OFF.
The only thing i like more at the HOX is the Display. Its by far the best 720p display i've seen so far but the HOS display is also not even close to bad. I don't think the HOS'es whites are yellow or somewhat. It isn't as white as SLCD Displays but i think thats normal for S-AMOLEDs.
Go with the One S you won't regret it

Thank you really much for the info, that is what I needed. It's a pity I can't find a One XL from a seller I'd trust or with at least some warranty in the Czech Republic.
This is what HTC says on Reddit (and that answers the part about Nvidia vs Qualcomm quite honestly):
To address an issue that’s top of mind for many folks here, we recently announced that we wouldn’t be updating the HTC One X and One X+ beyond Android 4.2. Without the support of our chip manufacturer Nvidia, it made a global update of One X and X+ devices impossible. However, in US the One X uses the Qualcomm chip and an upgrade would be possible, but we didn’t think it would be a good experience for our customer base to update the X, but not the X+. This update caused a huge stir amongst owners and we’ve heard you loud and clear, so we’re now actively exploring how we can make the jump to 4.4.

So, Qualcomm FTW. But one thing I can't understand is how the Nexus 7 2012 got KitKat, when it's using the Tegra 3 too. It still feels like Nvidia abandoned it on 4.1, though.

If they sold the Moto G in the Czech Republic, I'd be thinking about it a lot. But they don't, so the One S comes at the top of my "cheap but great" phone list. And when I compare these two phones, I think the One S has a better camera and design than the Moto G, so the decision would not be easy, too.
