I know a lot of people here have a GSM nexus just because its a dev phone
I was wondering about trading my one x for a white galaxy nexus
I need a phone that can work in Pakistan
Also I love having the fastest and best of those two phones and the most options
I love the screen on my one x and just wondering how the screen on the nexus is
So for people who have both phones can you please tell me which of the two is better and why or the pros and cons of both

I'd only suggest it if you can get it for the 350 dollars it costs from the Google Play Store. In Canada, you can only get it from carriers which charge around 650 dollars for it without a contract.
The Galaxy Nexus screen is... decent. The blacks look great but the whites are somewhat blue-ish. While the One X has the best screen I've seen on a phone, I'd gladly sacrifice that for a Galaxy Nexus if I only had to pay 350 for it.
Whether it will work in Pakistan is a different story. I am not sure what the frequencies are there, and whether 3G/4G will even work.

That's not an even trade at all. You are talking a $550 phone (HOX) for a $350 one. At least get some cash tossed in too if you are serious about it.

This. The only phone I'd consider an even swap is a Galaxy S 3.
I had a Galaxy Nexus and sold it to buy a One X, and I don't regret it. The Galaxy Nexus has a far larger developer community, but aside from that I prefer the One X in every regard. The battery life on my LTE One X is FAR better than on my GSM Nexus, the screen is worlds better, and the One X far smoother (at least smoother pre-Jelly Bean). Additionally, the camera on my One X produces better shots as well.
If you like flashing ROMs for the sake of flashing ROMs, consider the Nexus. For pretty much every other reason the One X is superior.

The One X is a far better phone hardware-wise. The screen is where it really stands out. Since you said you would be trading for a GSM version of the Nexus, I assume that Pakistan uses GSM. Your best bet would be to buy an unlock code for your One X off ebay for $6, and unlock the One X.
As far as development goes, the GNEX has better developer support in terms of quantity. I think our dev quality is equal if not better, considering we have ROM choices and no kernel source has been released. When speaking of development, I ask you "What can't you do on the One X right now?"
Root - Check
Bootloader Unlock - Check
Tethering - Check
Custom Rom - Check (albeit some minor issues)
We don't need kernel tweaks for battery because the battery on the One X is fantastic.
I ran AOKP on my Skyrocket because it gave me slightly better battery life and Tethering support. I run CleanRom on my HOX, and I have all of the same features, and everything just works...no flashing nightlies or kernels to fix soft reboots.
I personally couldn't be happier with my HOX, and I'm glad I chose it over the S3 or GNEX.

You'd be crazy to even swap a nexus. OneX spanks that thing
sent from my fire breathing HTC OneXL using xda-developers app
Gonna have to agree with the majority here. Last year before the nexus came out, I told myself I'd get one. When it did, I wasn't really impressed with the hardware.
The one x has is better than the galaxy nexus in every way other than the true blacks of the screen and software updates. But the one x has a great amount of developers and the only thing left at this point is the source release from HTC. Once its released, custom roms and kernels will be abundant.
Hardware on one x is at least a year ahead of the gnex. Like another member said, only other phone I would trade straight up is a s3. And even then, the feel and build of the one x is still better.

Except that I still love ROMs but I'm also much happier with the hardware on the One X. Side by side, the difference in screen quality is unbelievable.
Sucks losing a larger dev community, but I don't regret selling my Nexus.
Using: HTC One X // Paranoid Android // Tapatalk
I switched out due to wanting to learn how to dev really badly with a Nexus device being the best to learn on, and due to the cost difference for me saved ($70) but I miss my One X dearly.
The build quality is unmatched... the screen is stellar. And its blazing fast, not to mention its sexy as hell.
I don't think I made a mistake, because I really do like my Nexus (the screen is pretty damn awesome and I just like the feel), but I am definitely getting another One X in a month or two when the price drops.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I'd suggest playing with the nexus as much as you canand just see if you love it more.
Imo, stick with the hox. My pros are screen and speed overall. The available Roms are fun enough to mess with.

One X
One X for its build quality and great screen.
I know the Gnex is a developer's dream but the way I look at it.
With HTC One X - can you have a fully functional asop rom = yes.
With the Gnex - can you have a fully functional sense rom = no.
I always prefer asop but with an HTC phone, you always have the option to go back to working "sense". If that makes any sense lol.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

Really depends on what you want. I currently own both devices and dev for the note. The one x is a better phone in my opinion in all aspects. If the one x had the same screen as the note I'd sell my note in a heartbeat. No source is needed for good cm9 or aokp. Note doesn't even have official ics and we have cm9 aokp miui and paranoidandroid

Once we get Kernel Source It will be all over. I see great things ahead for this device. No way would swap it for a Note.
you posted in a htc one x forum, of course we will say no... lol
I just got the One X last week and I'm loving it. I switched from Sprint to AT&T, so my choices were between the Note and One. They're both awesome and I was very tempted by the large screen, but in terms of performance the One X wins hands down. And my inner geek forced me to go for performance.
(Of course, I run xmonad on my laptop for the performance over beauty rationale too. lol)
BTW, I just flashed CM9 alpha5 and it's pretty sweet so far.
I switched from a note to a hox (on day 30!) And I don't regret it at all. The screen size was nice and the pen was fun but I'm really liking the one x. I came from an iPhone and had no clue what Android was about. The guy who was helping me when I initially got the note recommended the one x but all I could think about was the big screen of the note. I'm glad I had those 30 days for the exchange!
I have both devices and don't get me wrong, the big screen is kinda cool but it doesn't touch the One X. If I had to choose it would be the One X all the way.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
If AT&T's note had the Exynos and not the S3 it would have been a tougher decision for me. Thankfully the S3 is pretty weak so I never even considered getting it. I haven't been happier about a phone purchase before. I love my HOX more than I loved my E4GT (one of the best phones ever), and even more than I loved my OG EVO 4G, and that says an awful lot.
I have made up mind, staying with the HOX. Cm9 is coming along nice, and I have done lots of reading the hox will keep me happier.
Thanks everyone.

I recently purchased the Atrix HD from Best Buy. I love the phone, as coming from the Original Atrix, but it has a sub-par camera. I was thinking of exchanging it for this phone because of the camera. The one thing I do not like about the One X is there is no microsd slot. I was just wondering if you guys had any opinions of what I should do. Thanks in advance.

Yeah...the no microsd is a bummer but if you can get past that the Hox IMO is better in pretty much every department
yeah didnt like the one x because it didnt have a micro sd card either, but i also have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 with that option
and i realize i have the same usual stuff i have on both, in other words i didnt really need the extra storage
who knows, maybe you'll grow past it and wont need it
on the other note, you do have 4g speed to stream almost anything and drop box
I exchanged my Atrix HD for a HOX and I don't regret it one bit. I get better battery life on the HOX than I did on the Atrix HD. The camera on the HOX is also much better than the camera on the Atrix HD.

That is why I did not want to return it. It by far was the closest to stock fir a branded phone. The cons of the phone were just too much for me to keep it. I loved the design of it but the fact the locked bootloader did not let me root the phone, killed the experience. It seemed a root was not coming any time soon. Hopefully this will not be the case.

I had this same decision about a month ago and the rooting bit was what sold me on the HOX (among other things).
ICS is good, and clearly Motorola has toned down their version of it, but it is not Jellybean. While Jellybean doesn't seem like much of an improvement, I've found it to be significantly better than ICS. Android still has some work to do in the polish department, and JB has made it much better. Plus, rooting allows you to be on the latest version of Android, as Atrix HD users will probably only get Jellybean once Key Lime Pie comes out.
I'm in the same boat at the moment as well. I have an unlocked mint condition Atrix HD I just picked up a week ago. I'm using it with Tmobile and am enjoying the fast 4G speeds however now that I've seen the One X, I'm interested in trying that phone out as well.
Do you guys think its worth the hassle of swapping my phone for the One X?
My sister just upgraded to the ahd from the original atrix against my recommendation. I toyed with it for a few minutes and i wasnt that impressed its not as smooth as my hox was stock. But to each his own. Again keep in mind that if you get the hox see what software version it is. If its 2.20 then there is currently no root for it.

I've recently been thinking of switching to Nexus 4 i've been doing research and all i read is positive feedback but i want to know if it would be worth it to change from an HTC ONE X to a nexus 4 , whats better
The N4 is undobutedly better but why upgrade from a One X? The hardware of the One X is still good, IMO it's not worth upgrading to a N4. Spend some time reading then flash CM10.1 and you're good to go.

The N4 is undobutedly better but why upgrade from a One X? The hardware of the One X is still good, IMO it's not worth upgrading to a N4. Spend some time reading then flash CM10.1 and you're good to go.

yes, another user in agreement, with CM10.1! Its a snap once you do a little research.

If you don't buy the N4 from the Play Store then there's no point in buying it at all. The brilliant thing about the N4 is that you get so much for such a low price, if you take away the value for money then you end up seeing that there are probably better choices available.
I've just ordered a N4 myself from the Play Store, but I currently have an HD2 so it's a pretty huge upgrade. As for the person who said 'Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x' and that it has an inferior screen, they're just exaggerating. The N4 camera is more than adequate, and not significantly worse than those on the One X, SGS3 and iPhone 5. The screen of the N4 is a bit odd (15:9 rather than 16:9 without on screen buttons) but has a higher pixel density than the One X's and probably equally good colour reproduction.
If latest Android update is most important to you, go for it.
Keep in mind you are losing LTE though.
I going to be able to upgrade here soon and im looking either getting the htc one or samsung galaxy s4. they both have about the same hardware. so which one should i get?

HTC is superior to S4.. Google the lag problems the galaxy has
Nexus 5 for me... Can't deal with these contracts anymore

He's right contracts suck. I'm also waiting for the nexus 5, but if you're not a patient person get a dev or AOSP One. The SGS line died with the S4.

I like the Galaxy's for 2 reasons, black blacks, (very nice on aosp for everything to be black instead of gray), and the software features like the pausing and all of that. But I like sense. I would also like to have the next Google phone. Too many choices.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

We can't make the decision for you, only persuade you.. But the choice is yours, I don't like Samsung and I don't really like HTC. But I really hate contracts. I'd personally get a nexus. But that's me

I was thinking as well of getting a Samsung phone. But I love HTC too much to do that. It's either HTC or iPhone for me

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

Up for an upgrade as well. Was about to pull the trigger on a One when the x phone was announced. Now not sure if I should wait a bit longer for some extra details.

you can buy the vanilla htc one from the play store without contracts, also htc sells an unlocked edition on his site. The nexus are way cheaper, though.
You better tell us which phone you end up choosing..... I'm actually waiting to see which one you'll get.

Keep the one x. So much new development is happening seems like a new phone xD

HTC makes phones will small batteries, can't get my one x to last me a day at work. 1700mah battery, really HTC? At least Samsung gives you replaceable batteries. My next phone is going to be a Samsung galaxy note 3.

Me too. The rumored specs for the Note 3 are absolutely insane.

Agreed. It'll be my next phone most likely unless the the phablet version of the HTC one actually does happen

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!
I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own

As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
