HTC One X+ - Android General

How do you guys feel about the One X+ that's looking like a T-Mobile release? Are you questioning your decision on buying a Galaxy S3? Or you are 100% fine with it?

I think it's an AT&T release but no removable battery and sd card...no thx

No, its a TMO release...Honestly I'm very happy with my s3...Don't really question or regret it even if the 2 phones were out I'd still go with the S3 in the end I'd take expandable memory (sd card) over processing power any day...but that's just me I don't really use my phone for games more so music and media.

I'm happy with the Galaxy S3, even though the HTC One X+ will probably be packing a quad core. I don't think that there will be much of a difference in everyday use.

I for one can't wait for it to be released, Super LCD 2 running jelly bean plus quad core this ish is gonna be a true monster no question about it :beer:

Quadcore? No. The same version that at&t has we will get. I previewed the one x and the note. Took the note obviously. Stateside will not see a quad til s4 pro. The stateside s3 is revolutionary, 2gb of ram, expandable storage, removable battery......c'mon. There is no comparison.

Why Idc about the one x+?
Coming from the one S I find the gs3 screen better. It Sucks in daylight but it doesn't bother me. Another thing is battery. They one+ is reportedly rocking the same size battery as the one x. Higher clocked processor with more cores = terrible battery life. Another reason is HTC in general. Coming from the one S I still don't think they even have full s off because Htc hasn't released the source code (last time I check people still couldn't make custom kernels) whereas Samsung released the gs3 instantly. Last reason is the sense ui. It's wack compared to touchwiz Imo.
I make enough money to get a new phone monthly if I wanted to. I won't be buying another Htc branded phone for a while. Not until they get better at supporting the dev community. I'm even still in my 14 day return period and I won't be returning it. Now release a gs3+ with an s4+ pro (quad) and you win me over lol.

Quick google of it says it scores a 58.5 in nena mark. Now scores are only a measuring stick, but my stock GS3 gets 59.9, so its not like its betting blown away. Im more than content with my GS3.

Not entirely true. Tegra 3 processors have a 5th core clocked @512mhz that runs all the background stuff if the cores aren't needed...thus giving it a better battery life. And, the GPU made by NVidia is awesome. Our Adreno 225 is just no match...sorry to say guys....but if that one x+ does come out with Tegra 3 and JB right or off the box...looks like I'll be making the jump. I'll still keep my s3 tho...like I do with all my phones.

Hmmm,...Im not seeing much of a difference. In fact, the S2 Snapdragon wins at least as many as the Tegra 3. Granted, if its at 1.7 GHz, it will make a little difference.

Ehh, I prefer Samsung over HTC...so...not really. There's really no need for quad core phones. Some people don't even have Quad Core PCs. :/

I was an HTC loyalist before the Galaxy S3 came out and the One S wasn't gonna cut it for me so that's why I pulled the trigger on the Galaxy S3 but little did I know how much I would love this phone! Now I'm not gonna lie, when I found out about the One X+ I was mad, but if you think about it, the X+ will probably not have a removable battery nor a SD Card slot which are deal breakers for me. Sure Tegra 3+ will be amazing because I'm a gamer on the phones, but 2GB of RAM, Removable Battery and SD card slot is too hard to give up! I love my GS3

Love HTC and Sense, but, without the expandable memory and replaceable battery... Damn HTC, get it right. But, I do appreciate HTC giving us a proper One series phone. The One S was an insult to T-Mobile customers in my honest opinion.

I'm super happy with my SGS3. If you need high benchmark scores to make you feel like cool kat, then you should probably go with the HTC, however, WE all know that benchmark scores don't mean squat when compared to real world usage. That being said, those of us whom have already grown up are quite contempt with our Samsung phones. Believe me, I used to be a die hard HTC fan, always getting the latest and greatest of all their devices. Although one can only take so much before they just give up all hope and walk away feeling betrayed. After all of the random reboots, frozen screen, crashes, loading screens, glitches and disappointments, I decided that enough is enough HTC has let me down for the last time. I am now a born again Samsung lover, I feel sorry for ever straying in the first place, however, I am more than thankful that the SGS3 has brought me back to where I belong.... In the land where all is right

It's not a samsung,so no.just knowing I have Odin at my finger tips alone makes me say no.sorry it's just one mans thoughts.good luck.
From a galaxy better than yours.
The design does have its downsides, though. There will no longer be user-replaceable batteries, nor any slot for micro SD expansion. Due to space constraints, these phones will also only be able to use Micro SIM cards.

The amaze drove me from ever using htc again. Htc unlock is hella bogus, if you like control over what you buy than htc has pretty much alienated all its loyal customers. With sammy from now on, or until they piss me off again

htc last best release was probably the mt4g.
I have practically played with every other t-mobile released htc phones and I have to say they're all disappointing besides the amaze's camera.
So I would wait for more feedbacks and wait for a htc phone that stands out more than its detailed specs.

The htc One x won't be having the quad core processor due to the fact that it doesn't support LTE. They will be getting an one x but with dual core.
Happily waiting for the SG3. so no
HTC one s has a better processor snapdragon s4 crushes tegra3. Stay away from tegra products. But the lack of expandable storage. Also non removable battery kills that phone cloud storage doesn't make up for expandable storage. Especially if it isn't permanent storage.

is a beautiful phone, but the problem, as on the iphone, there is the possibility to easily change the battery or to use external memory or other devices, a bit limited, but a good phone!
Im not gonna lie. The One X looks nice. They actually made it look good for once. Now, when it comes to waste of money, No. I'll be patiently waiting for the Galaxy S III. Its quad core, 1080p resolution. Samsung is just better anyways.
Maybe HTC one XE?
I'm getting the international version of the One X (one with Tegra 3). I've already pre ordered it from Expansys.... I'm not on AT&T and I could give a crap about their limited LTE. The One S isn't worth it in my opinion and I have T-Mobile...

Oh man brother! im trying to make that same descision !!! Im thinking .. hmm ceramic, quad core, +++... or huge ol' georgous phantasy beast of a phone
Im curious to hear what other brothers are sayin' as well
I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.
Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.
I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure
We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

Droid DNA Vs. VZWS3

I personally was debating the DNA over the VZWS3 but the on board ram won me out. 4 cores won't have that much of a impact but that on board memory sure does especially for future updates. Also I don't like Motorola's software upgrade approach. Though I did just read they are going to have a new Software beta pilot open to all users to test next version Android builds before release.
Why bring up Moto software updates as neither phone is made by them?

Personally, I would say the biggest concerns about the DNA are the battery and Sense... not to mention HTC & VZW's history of updates & getting in the way of modding. The hardware itself looks pretty amazing though.
No SD Card and unable to do simultaneous voice/data on 3G.
Other than that, I really like what I've seen. I prefer HTC over Samsung, but damn..... I'd feel like I'm going backwards having to do without features I've grown used to with the GS3. I'd also be cautious of the battery life.... I've had heavy useage days where my GS3 barely lasted me 8 hours so I can only imagine the DNA wouldn't.
I think he's one of those people who think "Droid" is specifically made by Motorola and not just a name for a phone lol

Kewl story.
I will never understand why HTC decided to put a 2020 mah battery on a 5 inch screen. Especially with that much ppi. C'mon, the S3's screen is smaller and does not sport a quad core and it has a larger stock battery. Wtf?

Used to love HTC. Now wouldn't take one if you have it to me. Talk about a company continuing to take steps backward.
They actually claimed people wanted thinner devices over better battery life. Okay HTC, how is that working out for your profits. Next they will claim the people wanted locked bootloaders.

I'm starting to feel that way about Samsung actually. I LOVE my S3 in almost every possible specification/feature way but HATE the reception problems with this phone. I was hoping that after the Samsung Nexus I'd never have to deal with that again. The Motorola phones work much better for reception but I don't really care much for them.
I'm really looking forward to getting reviews on the battery life and radio on the DNA from people who had the S3. I'm worried the battery life won't be great but I would find it hard to believe the radio isn't significantly better than the S3's radio.

That was my bad. I was working on 3 different threads in different forums and copy and paste failed.. HTC sense roms always were to bloated for me. I like AOSP feel and customization better.
HTC has always done pretty aggressive app management so they probably thought they could get away with a smaller battery and save a couple rubles?

May sound strange but I think the quad core is supposed to be more energy efficient. Of course until some lucky devil gets to actually compare the S3 to the DNA for us, we won't know for sure. I do agree, even if it has a nice battery life, it would have been nice if it came with a 2500mah battery as originally rumored.
they probably went 2020 to keep the phone thin ,otherwise it would face criticism for being fat
The no SD Card and removable battery are a huge killer for me. After my last phones all having these options why would I go to one that does not have those? Unless its got a 3300 battery and 64 gigs storage.
I expect the DNA dev community to be more pathetic than the Droid Incredible 4G's.

I personally have had nothing less than absolute misery with LG cell phones I steer clear. I'm sure the Nexus is a good product [but no external SD?? C'mon.]
Samsung makes the best Android cell phones in my opinion. Skyrocket
Skyrocket all the way. Every Samsung phone I've owned has been awesome. Can't say the same with the two LG's I once had. You should also consider looking at the development sections for each to see what roms, kernels, tweaks, etc are available. Skyrocket development is awesome. Many many choices.
I usually stick to everything Samsung (my SSD, phones, ram, fridge etc...)
If you're going to decide between Skyrocket and GNEX then here is the run down:
Both phones are dual core, Skyrocket being clocked higher and slightly faster than the GNEX at stock.
Both phones have 1GB or ram
Skyrocket you can put a memory card in, GNEX does not.
Skyrocket has LTE, GNEX (not the verizon version) does not (if that matters).
Skyrocket is 480x800, GNEX is 720x1280 so visually the GNEX will look a tad better based on pixel density and real estate.
So when it comes down to it its more like a side grade.
Skyrocket missing the HD resolution while the GNEX is missing LTE and expansion slot. So pretty much its all on preference and uses. But the biggest thing is probably the community and development. No doubt the GNEX has a large community and when there is an OS update it comes straight from Google on the day of or a little later when its announced. With the Skyrocket you may be lucky to get the update officially but will get it on AOSP and there is dedicated awesome devs here :good:
I personally have both the Skyrocket and the Nexus 4 and with the recent JB leak the Skyrocket is pretty quick and snappy. The Nexus 4 though is on another ball game but it is indeed fast, super snappy and has good development. Only thing I do miss is LTE, another thing is the OS isnt optimized so much on the Nexus 4 yet that battery hasnt been that great for most people. I get an average of 15hr~ and 3-4hr screen time. My Skyrocket has seen some better days but it is on LTE and that one was giving me 30/30mbps here while my N4 is stuck with HSPA 8/1mbps so that could be a factor when choosing speeds and whatever uses. I also miss the AMOLED blacks but the IPS on the N4 is pretty nice, some people who went from S3s to N4 were complaining that it looked washed out but it looks fine to me.
So pretty much between the S2, GNEX and N4 you lose the same things on the GNEX/N4 (LTE, expansion slot) you gain a larger screen resolution and early OTA updates from google. :good:

Will you be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4?

I'm not extremely excited about the design but the octa-core processor in combination with 2GB RAM sounds like music in my ears, although i'm disappointed that TouchWiz is basically the same, but my Galaxy SII contract is ending soon and I might be willing to pay a little more to get the S4.

I would love to get the S4 since I have S2, so its a reasonable upgrade.
I doubt it. I have the S3 so I will probably wait until the "SV" or until the S3 starts to feel old and unable to do what I want it to do.

Definitely buying the gs4...I'm still rocking my Vibrant and it is about time to retire it.
4.2.2 will be last update this phone can truly handle. There just isn't enough ram to go any further with it

my nexus 4 is serving me well enough, don't need anything else =)

I will not, because to be honest it is only a minor update compared to the S3. It is essentially the same phone but a better screen and SoC and a whole bunch of touchwiz "features". I never use touchwiz anyway...

I'm definitely getting the s4. Love the new real metal band around the phone. I was disappointed at first at the lack of styling changes until I saw the s3 - s4 comparison photos. It is absolutely a stunning phone.
Now only question is, International octa core versiob minus the lte or a quad core snapdragon us version. I opted for the international version for the gs3

Nah. As a TMO user who enjoys the International/World phones: Galaxy S4 news was a disappointment. Was really hoping Samsung would've stuck with just 1 phone especially for us who enjoy Samsung using Wolfson DACs in their phones instead of mediocre Qualcomm SoCs. Their desire to constantly do yearly releases with little benefits is wasteful. They should've just stuck to promoting the S3 alongside software updates until they really have a good product on their hand.

What groundbreaking hardware? The same SoC as GS4, but slightly lower clock speed?
Or do you just mean the materials used and front facing speakers?

AW: Will you be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4?
Will stick to my i9001 for a while despite 8cores are quite attractive.

Samsung never...
It doesn't have good build quality and manufacturers dont give what they are promising
..I have personally experienced that with s2 and I know my friends who got broke note 2 just by falling from 2 feet...
And one more thing exynos processors they are closed source..which means not devloper friendly..
Custom roms has too many bugs..and they r using octacore word just for attracting more people

HTC One is still the best phone.. even better the s4!
After using HTC for the last couple of years I really hate phones that feel cheap. The plastic quality build of Samsung phones makes me stay away from them. And I'm not a fan of TouchWiz at all.
