[Q] HTC Vivid or wait until One X

I Have the htc Inspire right now, and I've had it for over a year now. Its ended up to be a great phone. But it has its problems, anyways... I was going to get the HTC Vivid, but i decided to wait. And then I found out about the One X! I was very excited for that, but it wont come out until the second quarter now for AT&T. I also found out that the Vivid will also be getting ICS and the new sense 4.0 in the next coming weeks. So, should I wait another month or two, to get the One X? Or would I be just as satisfied with the Vivid? Also, I have used the Vivid in a store with no LTE and it is wayy faster than my Inspire, would the One X be a lot faster than the Vivid? Thanks!

I am gonna stay with my inspire, ics almost ready for a daily driver.

I would wait. I have an Inspire and my brother had the Vivid, not any significant differences between the phones. Call quality and speaker loudness are the same (low). Only benefit was LTE. Needless to say, he said it wasn't worth going from an Inspire to a Vivid.

I beg to differ
I made the switch from the Inspire to the Vivid, and I gotta say it's quite the step up, I haven't experienced any lag, currently running an official leak of ics with sense 3.6 currently, 4.0 is coming soon. stock on ics the kernel is clocked at 1.5ghz. the screen is just ridiculously better, I loaded up the same HD images on both for comparison and some looked like totally different pictures. such a lightning fast device too.
But if you want to wait for the One X you can, I'd say go ahead and get the Vivid, it's specs are pretty damn similar, and once it gets the ics w/ sense 4.0 update it'd be pretty much the same, only a little better looking.

The screen and processor on the one x are better and will probably be supported longer anyway

does it matter in truth? 6months later we all want the newest thing anyways. it's not like ours becomes useless or cant do what we need, it just becomes obsolete in comparison to the next phone. and people thought computer death cycles were fast haha

Yes the OneX is a better phone hands down. BUT that's not what we're getting, we're getting the OneXL which has no sd slot, is an S4 dual core and is further gimped down to 16GB of storage. So after the rom you might get 9-10GB of storage, non-upgradable.
Hmmm... the Vivid isn't sounding as bad anymore does it?

would be possable to get the european vesion with the quad core processor in the states?
and i love my inspire just wish some one would port sense 4.0 over to it like there doing over on the nexus page.
but i dont realy like ics, the keyboards hard to use, the scrolling isnt as smooth, imo, i think ics is better left to the tablets.

My understanding is that the Euro units use different bands and the only one that may work is the Canadian Bell/Rodgers handsets. But that's only helpful if they get the quads, which I believe they will not. If you can find one that has these bands then you will have everything but LTE/4G. Due your research.
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
*Edit Based on a comparison on GSM Arena it looks like it should be possible. But what's it going to cost???

The vivid seems to have zero development, so I would avoid it.

I would bet the Vivid gets a big price cut when the One X comes out.

i think both are very good phones, it all depends whether you want to wait for the one x. at the end of the day, what was new today will be old tomorrow

Considering the at&t variant is only dual core compared to the original quad core, get the Vivid.

Hey, I'm still a current Inspire owner and currentely have a Vivid. The Inspire is rooted and the Vivid is locked and stock. Next month I will be buying an unlocked One X. The hardware in the Vivid is very capable to last, even stock, through the normal contract length. However, the AT&T One X is only a slight upgrade from the Vivid. The only difference is that it has an S4 Snapdragon, the Vivid has an S3. Both are dual cores. Both have 16GB of storage. The X will have between 10 and 12GB user accessible, the Vivid has 12. The X is clocked at 1.5, the Vivid 1.2. The Vivid has a 960x540 qHD display. The X will have a 1280x720 HD display. The dev section in the Vivid forums is severely lacking of support. After a fallout, 2 of 4 devs took their roms elsewhere. However, we have quite a few users who are learning to fill the void and add more support. The dev section for the X is gonna be a whole lot better, I'm gonna say it'll probably rival the Inspire's. If money is no object, wait for the X. If money is an issue, definitely get the Vivid. I love mine, but I just can't resist an unlocked T3 X.

I just cant see myself ever buying a phone that doesn't have a microsd slot. I might could go for one with 32gb storage with no sd slot, but I cant keep my 32gb card in my inspire under 24gb in use, no way I could fit everything onto 16gb total storage including system software, app storage, and all.
I know their selling point now is the whole 25gb of dropbox storage, and running everything "from the cloud" but without an unlimited data plan, I feel like that is just a ploy to trap people into getting charged for data overage.

Sums up my thoughts on the One X completely. I'll pass on this one, too.
Also, until LTE is fully deployed in my area, I'd rather not have a phone with LTE capability. So I'll stick with HSPA devices for now.

What's it called so I can test it out

God, the stupidity of some people boggles the mind.
1. Dual/Quad core is a meaningless metric for performance. The dual core in the One XL is equivalent to or faster than the quad core in the One X, with less power consumption. The Dual core in the Vivid is blown away by either.
2. The One X will run on AT&T's HSPA+ and GSM network, so long as it doesn't have a network lock on it.
3. Yes, the One XL is getting gimped pretty hard in storage. MTP partitioning would help, but the problem is with AT&T trying to cut costs.

I lost 2 months of crap after an app update bricked my iPhone.... NEVER again will I own a device that doesn't removable storage.
Direct Mass storage (in whatever form) and removable storage are 2 of my BIGGEST req's for a phone.
My $0.02.

Unlocked HTC One X for $699

Hey guy I was thinking about buying HTC One X online and using it with T-mobile. I have the unlimited $49 plan which means any phone I buy that i have to pay full price for anyway. Also, I understand that it doesn't have the radio for 3G data but thats fine with me since I am on wifi 90% of my day.'
The only thing that I am worried about is tegra 3 making the phone lack dev support. Should I stay clear and wait for a GSIII or should I take the plunge?

That answers none of his questions lol, but good find I'll read it in a bit. Other then that I'm staying away from them for that one reason, I am almost positive that MoDaCo has already achieved root for the device and that means will possibly be working on the device himself... if that is the case, then you are in luck especially if you get the European version, cause that is the omr he will be working on. Other then that I vote no lol.

Tegra will always remain closed source and rely on hacked sources for anything to work. I love my g2x for its great performance in games but never again will I make the mistake of owning a nvidia based phone. Samsungs own Mali & TI OMAP based chips will always be ahead of tegra in my view.

We can hope more phones are going to use the Tegra 3 chip so you have a lot more resources to choose from. The reason the g2x is so bad is that it wasn't implemented on to many phones so there has been less devices to port from. With such a small amount of devices means a smaller chance they will be updated quickly. If one tegra 2 phone got upgraded to ice cream then we would have a fully working ice cream sandwich. With htc using it and it's reputation for upgrading devices quickly then you might have no problem with roms

Don't buy it, the current Tegra 3 is just a transitional SOC. You'll be in the same position as owning a phone with the Tegra 2 SOC - SOL.

It's my opinion on the matter, compared to sammy

I've had 2 htc phones prior to getting my skyrocket. Things to note about htc:
Build quality = 7-8
Design = 8+
quality of materials = 9
Overall experience = 8
That being said... The one x looks and seems to be a great phone. Super fast, nice screen, great design, and cutting edge specs. The camera is supposed to be very nice, but htc doesn't use the known amoled display. Colors may be less vibrant but at 1280 x 720, you may not even notice. Would I ditch the skyrocket for one.... Maybe if I get to hold the phone and am impressed by it. Truth be told, you should stick with what you got and possibly get the next gen handset when it becomes available. One thing to note.... HTC usually give timely updates where they see fit. As where Samsung (in my experience) take their sweet time. All of this has been based on my own experiences and personal opinions.

HTC do make great phones, but Samsung's phones are overall better made for the android consumer imo. Samsung doesn't waste time with bs aspects such as 3d (which no one ever used anyway). Before the one series, they were all clunky, heavy, and had a hard time lasting 8 hours on a single charge. Don't get me wrong, i've owned both htc and samsung devices, but I just think Samsung has it together, atleast more than HTC right now.

One X

I would wait, the one x and the s3 are just gonna be warm up phones for what's coming for holiday season. You will have serious buyers remorse at that time.

Personally, I'm hoping against hope that the skyrocket HD is released next weekend as well since Spirit is getting its G-Nexus.
I like the specs on the One X, and would consider getting it, BUT what the f*ck is up with only 16 GB and no micro SD support?!?! Really??? Only 16GB!! Such a deal breaker. Hell I have almost 8gb of music & after a nandroid backup or two, there ain't nothing left.
Sure, SGS III is a no brainer, but I'm not waiting another 6 months for it to make its way to US carriers... which you know it will, even if it does get release world wide this summer.
Come on AT&T, give me a f*cking release date on the skyrocket HD already!!!

As for as more into why Samsung s3 newest phone with lot of Kool thinking like just looking at the contact will dial number or screen will not dim . Better processor and super amolded screens are few.
Question of if HTC coming up with something new maybe yes because these companies are coming out with new phones every single month

btw i prefer the HTC one X

I was a sony fan then went to samsung....never going back! Looked at HTC's, rooting is alot more work than samsung and samsung have alot more custom ROMS available but the speeds etc of the standard firmware was perfect, i just like messing with things, constantly playing about with the S2 my S3 is for work purposes but tempted to become a toy aswell
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Honestly? I'd go GS3 if I was gonna upgrade right now. The One S is 'eh' at best and since it's a "high end HTC device", we probably won't see another one for a while. I contemplated upgrading to it within the week but they said I'd lose my 10 GB grandfathered data plan - which I absolutely refuse to do.
Funny thing too, they offered me a One S for $350 + Two year extension. I asked them if they realized that it's two hundred to two fifty on Craigslist in my area. They had nothing to say to that.

I absolutely love the SGS3, but wouldn't get it right now for T-Mobile for three reasons.
First, the T-Mo version costs more than other carriers SGS3s. That just rubs me the wrong way.
Second, we get the Qualcomm S4 version here. Dual core? Seriously?? I think that's lame considering EU gets the Exynos quad core version.
And last, and most annoying, the T-Mo SGS3 won't be compatible with the upcoming LTE because of the spectrum T-Mo is planning to use. Boo!
TL;DR I'd just wait. Sensation isn't top of the line anymore, but it's still pretty decent until some real upgrades find their way stateside.

Well i thought google said they will release at least 5 nexus devices in november, one for each different manufacturer. Why not get the next htc nexus then?

What's bad with dual core? The S4 keeps up with the Tegre3 and even beats it in some benchmarks. Does Android even benefit from quad core yet? I don't believe it really does. Hell, I have eight cores in my notebook and Windows hardly uses four of em.

If you want a good phone with good performance and best AOSP experience (speed, battery life, etc) wait for upcoming nexus.
I can live with sensation until google released new nexus phone.
But if you want a beautiful software and functionality go to HTC.
I dont like samsung experience but i should admit their hardware still the best (not its build quality tho).

I was considering to get the S3 but went to T-Mobile store and I was underwhelmed. Mainly because of the screen. And it didn't give me that wow feeling.
Anyways, I will wait. Sensation is pretty awesome at the moment.

Nothing bad with it really. Like I said, our Sensations are more than capable right now with dual core. It's just that if I'm going to break out the wallet and potentially renew my contract, it better be for a serious upgrade. An update from s3 to s4 just doesn't blow me away.
Remember when our Sensations came out and GB wasn't ready for dual core? Well now we have ICS and all is good. Same concept. I'd really hate to be on a dual core SGS3 and then the next version of Android comes out supporting quad core.

Silly to upgrade now. The GS3 is certainly "better" than the Sensation, but it's not enough of an improvement imo to justify the upgrade. I side with the people who say you should upgrade once new phones absolutely blow yours out of the water, not when they are merely a bit better. S4 dual core is pretty nice, and it beats the Sensations lackluster S3, but I'd rather wait for S4 quad core + Adreno 320 (a truly next gen gpu rather than Adreno 225, which is a slightly modified version of our gpu) or A15 exynos + Mali t-604 phones to hit, because they will undoubtedly roundhouse kick our sensations.

Good point. I, however, would like to mention that I never meant that I would get a GSIII right now, cause I'd have one if I did. All I meant was that if OP was getting a phone upgrade right now, GSIII over any HTC offering [T-Mobile's One S] is the way to go.

Should I swap for Tegra 3 HTC One X

Hi,
For those who had both can I ask your opinion? Should I switch the rogers (same as AT&T) version of the One X for a international version with Tegra 3?
I really like the tegra 3 chipset and the extra memory.
Please let me know,

Let's see
The Tegra 3 chip based phone has more build quality issues, worse battery, no LTE, worse audio.
Nah. Not for me.

I would, but solely because I'm a flashaholic and I'm not holding my breath for LTE here in the Philly area.

No LTE (so Cal area) and build quality issues? Heck no, for me at least. Not to mention the battery life difference. I keep chargers everywhere just to keep my S4 alive.
To each their own!

I definitely wouldn't

I thought you did swap it out a month ago for a little while.

If you are having battery life issues with your S4, then you've got something else going on. I would see if you're having any wake lock issues or a rogue app that's killing your battery. Try a factory reset. It's widely known that the S4 version has far superior battery life than that of the Tegra 3.

I ordered one from Amazon. I had instant buyers remorse and since I couldn't cancel the order I had to return it as soon as it arrived. I opened it and booted the phone up just to check it out.
It was kind of a scary experience and I won't be ordering an unlocked phone from Amazon again. What I got was a T-Moble (germany) branded HOX. Complete with Their boot logos and bloatware.
I didn't even use it to make a call or anything. It just seemed "off" to me.

Why do you like the Tegra3 chip? Cause everyone says its so good?
The extra memory is a plus though, I use DropBox a lot however. Might not work for most but I keep all my movies there.

I sold my international HOX and went with the XL. Even though the T3 is supposed to be faster in certain circumstances, the S4 with LTE is snappier, less lag, faster data transfer (even with HSPA+; almost no latency), and battery life is almost double (I sh*t you not). All we need is kernel source and the XL will be the device to have. I do miss the 32gb storage but can manage without it. Go with the XL, you won't regret it.

Thanks for all your replies.
I like the Tegra3 version because of all the exclusive games and extra storage. Having 16gb is a pain but as you said I can manage with dropbox and box.com.
Maybe i'll just get the nexus 7 for the games.
Thanks

Best of both worlds that way. It's what I'm going to do.

exactly. I'm getting the nexus 7 for games as well. I had the Tegra 3 version before getting the rogers one x. The battery life was ****. turn on the phone at 7 am and was nearly dead by 3 pm. now with the rogers one x I can actually last 1 full day without charging.

Qualcomm should be very proud of the S4. Imagine quad core version of this chip drool.
