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

Oh look, another Samsung employee.
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.

So, the S3 has been revealed and in my Opinion it is U-g-l-y
For that reason alone I feel More confident in having chose the One X.
The 'Eye tracking feature' seems interesting, but gimmicky, other than that, not a lot stands out for me.
what are your opinions?
Was happy before announcement. Still happy now

I'm happy with my HOX, I don't want a S3 ...
The only big con with the X is the battery life which might be better with the S3...
After seeing AC hands on with it. I am glad I got the HOX. TW looked so dated on GS3. Too glossy. Time to pass the next nexus to someone else Google. Back to HTC or give Sony a Shot?
S3 is one UGLY phone. Lol and a pentile matrix screen.
HTC won this year. One X all the way!
Yes it was a good decision to go for One X. Although the removable and higher capacity battery and microSD card slot is a big plus for GS3.
I'm very happy about my HTC One X, I bought it a week ago and everyone was like "wait for the S3 cause it will be better", but out of confidence, I didn't think Samsung is able to make a device as beautifully crafted (In terms of both UI and design) device that's able to deliver a better user experience.
Those were my impressions before the announcement, after the announcement, my One X has a better design, a better camera, a better screen, a better UI. S3 might overtake it in areas like a barometer, battery, microSD and a slightly better processor, but my HTC takes all the specs that are mostly important for me.

What are the pro's and con's of these two smartphones? Htc one x is newer, so better ?
I definitely like the way the HTC OneX looks (in white) over my SGS2... And the screen resolution is better on the one x as well. Sure it isnt SuperAmoled but i could live with that. I'm really not sure which one has the better camera..but the Htcs camera has a few features I would be interested in trying out. Also if having a non removable battery and no expandable micro sd storage bothers you. I would actually give the htc a try if they had the one x on sprint instead of that butchered version they're calling the evo 4 g lte...maybe its looks will grow on me..

I have a one x and love it. It is a better spec'd phone than the sgs2. What I would say about the S2 is that it run really good for an android. The one x is buggy and does some weird stuff the s2 probably works better than any other android.

one X is a bit stronger then s2 but i will choose s2 because it look better.

Does the USB jig work with any HTC phone? Didn't think so. I'll stick with Samsung please and thanks.
depends on carrier, both phones have different socs based on carrier. Get one with qualcomm 8960. Krait, adreno225, lte on 28 nm process ftw

Two things that I dislike about the one x is the no SD card slot and non removable battery. They aren't total deal breakers, but still big points.
Though, I haven't looked into the S2 much, I'm not even sure if it does have those two things.
Honestly, One X vs SGS3 is a more fair comparison
»Tegra 3 / Qualcomm S4 > Dual Core Exynos
»4.7 SLCD2 720p > 4.3 WVGA SAMOLED+
»Policarbonate Body > Plastic
»One X camera > SGS2 camera
»Sense 4 > Touchwiz 4 (opinion based)
Still, SGS2 has removable battery and expandible storage

Samsung galaxy s2 is better.
Fan boy
I have Samsung , but I am not fan boy(I think they are like apple fan) I ovviously prefer Htc one x , a very performant smartphone from a very serious society
Of course htc one x!! .. coz it has quad core processor, I'm sure it is better than galaxy s2 .. except you challenged htc one x with sgsiii.. it will be a different story

Have you guys thought to switch to Sensation and what have kept you not to?
im pondering real hard between the two. the more i look the more i begin to like
bigger screen 4.3" 540 x 960
8mp camera
dual-core processor.
size is 59x115x11 mm vs 65x126x11 mm
for a future proof... is it worth 100e more investment. the sensation forum is flooded with problems tho.. desire s seems more happy customers. might be because they are sold lots more and only pissed ppl contact forums...
ps. phone buying seems to be harder than i thought
Sensation has problems with the audio
I don t think it s a good choice
In internet you can find newer phones low cost(-100-200€ )

If you want a bigger screen and hungrier battery eater - Sensation is good.
If you're comparing functionality - Sensation isn't enough of an upgrade.
I had this same problem. Now instead of an sensation I'm looking at the Galaxy Nexus.

Anyway, Pentile or not, the screen is still an upgrade from our phone. The clarity and sharpness will be much better.
Personally storage isn't a problem for me anymore. I don't mind the lack if SD card. I think Google wants it this way now, to standardise things and avoid complications, such as app data disappearing, slow apps (due to slow SD read/write speeds)
Having said that, Sammy released the SGS3 with a SD card ...

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?

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.
Okay I know I've only been here with you Evita users for what 6 months and I have developed a few roms ( kickdroid series ) and made a few modpacks... And everyone seems to enjoy my work from what I see and I thank all of you for your time and support..... but it's time for me to move on to a device that will get kitkat with sense 5.5 or whatever sense version comes with it, I will still own this phone and develop for it just need a new device... But here is my issue, I have a few phones I've been wanting but I'm not sure which one to choose because there are features that attract me to wanting them all but I can on choose one.... so I need your guys help on choosing
1. HTC Droid DNA - 5" 1080p display with global capabilities ( Gsm/Cdma ), 8mp rear camera, 2mp front facing camera, with 2gigs of ram.
Advantages - and just recieved sense 5 4.2.2 and according too Football it will reciece kitkat too...
Disadvantages - Only issue is the charge flap falls off and when it comes to Verizon they have very secured bootloaders
2. HTC One ( gsm version ) - 4.7" 1080p display, 2gigs of ram, 4UP camera, zoe, BoomSound, and snapdragon 600 processor 4 cores...
Advantages - is receiving kitkat of course......
Disadvantages - but I've seen drop test with this phone and the metal around the speakers fall of and I usually drop my phone off surfaces on occasion and don't want to ruin a expensive piece of equipment..
3. HTC One Mini - 4.3" 720p display. 1gb L3 ram, dual core, BoomSound, zoe, 4UP Camera, Snapdragon 400 processor
Advantages - First of all I have used this phone and love the feel of it in my hands, and according to football it will recieve kitkat......
Disadvantages - But I'm not a person who likes to go from a bigger screen to a smaller screen. And not only that it feels like it's just a slightly update HTC ONE XL. And same issues as I would have with the HTC ONE
4. HTC Desire 600 by VM - have played with the phone and kinda like it but seems as specs have degraded with HTC new sense 5 devices, even know it contains all the features found on the HTC ONE..
Advantages - Cheaper to buy, Has all features on the HTC One Minus Camera And processor and ram
Disadvantages - VM ( sprint network ), low development
5. HTC One Max .... Just put it this way it's a beast with a 5.9 1080p display, Amazing Battery ,
Advantages - huge phone and the bigger the better for me , will recieve latest OTAs , amAzing battery.
Disadvantages - no major change from the HTC One except for size and battery.
Please help me everyone. Will be appreciated.

Or sometimes you pour so much into making the right decision, assuming your getting the best, and the day after you buy it something new is announced! Just keep an eye on press releases from HTC.
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The Mini and the Max are oddball mid-year releases, that are almost certain to be relegated to obscurity, low sales, and poor community support. Like the One X+, they seem like devices just meant to fill the gap in the schedule until the release of the next "real" phone (M8).
The One is a great phone. But we are closer to the release of the M8 than the previous generation. So I agree with the above votes to wait for the next wave. Even more so with the DNA.
I'd go with an HTC one developer edition. I mean you can wait for the m8 but as far as I have seen it is a small upgrade to the HTC one. When considering, I would look into camera. The one xl witch I own has a great camera. The one witch I also own has a downgraded camera. Yea it has zoe but you can get that on the one xl with no trouble. I don't do a lot with cdma so I don't know about how development is for verizon or sprint.

The HTC One doesn't have a downgraded camera. Just because it has a lower count of megapixels doesn't mean it's worse. It uses different technology that doesn't require a huge amount of pixels to create a good image.
