Guys I currently own the HTC One XL and i have heard it for 3 months. For some reason I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 because of all the new features it has nd in a way is better than the XL. I'm crying coz i used my credit card and I dont know if i made a ****ty decision or this is alright. Would any of you trade the One XL for the Galaxy Note 2? it has been improved greatly nd i was sucked into it. What are your thoughts?
I would not. The main reason is the screen on the hox is perfect for my hand. The note is just too big.

If your into phablets... That's the way for your but as I can see your semi new tech phone hungry. You could get the one x + same screen size I mean if your going to get a new phone should get wait and Get tthat seems like a monster and it will be very much. The vest phone at that time IMHO

Rumors are the Note 2 won't have as much dev support because Exynos are so poorly documented and all of the source code is released. I believe CM10 will not be officially supported.
Other than that, I actually was going to go to a Note 2. They got rid of the pentile matrix in the OLED so the screen looks fantastic (although I would still say the One X is a little better because I think LCDs look a little better) and the specs are fantastic.

Arghhh mixed feelings, now kinda regretting my purchase. One XL is awesome no doubt about that but this feature here:
And other million more features on the Note, i got sucked so badly. FML, i can hardly sleep atm, in a huge dilemma to see which one i can keep. I guess i will know once i have the NOte 2 in my hands.
I'd rather wait for the HTC One X5 (aka Google Nexus 5), since at least it will be made with quality material and feel it's worth its cost in the hand.
The One X is so pleasing to have, it's almost fetishism.
I have had 2 samsung, so I've been there... :S

I so hope that rumor is true. I'm not too sold that it is, but a 5" HTC Nexus device would be awesome.

what kind of return period do you have? here in the US at AT&T, we get 30 days. I'd say be really careful and try it out (use it as your main phone) for the period you have, and then return when that time period is almost up if you still don't like it.
I'm half tempted to try one but I just think they are too big. The first Note was too odd shaped and too big, and this phone is even bigger... so, I'll likely stick with the One XL.
I got a week old hox, I'll trade you in a heartbeat.

I have already exceeded my return period with the One XL so cant return it. I bought the Note 2 outright though, no contract. the bigness is what i like and taking notes in a lecture i thought it might be the phone for me. Will post a video review in this thread to update you on my views on the two phones.

Same here. No questions asked. Phone for phone. I can't wait to get the Note 2. It looks sick. Quad exynos, no pentile, enhanced s-pen, 2 gigs of ram. It's everything I wish my original Note had.

The new Note, despite having a larger screen, will be easier to use one handed than the original Note. It's not as wide.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
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.

I recently wrote about the battle between Apple and Samsung, and how their recent products compare to what I think is the superior One XL.
You can check out the blog post here.
Considering the shortfalls of the iPhone 5 and the SGS3, do you think the One X remains the best phone out right now?
And if you do, does it upset you that the other two are getting so much hype? Or is it nice knowing you got the best while everyone else is getting something not as good?
Just wanted to start a discussion on the emotional aspect with our devices. It may sound crazy, but we all know we're all somewhat emotionally attached to our choices.
Good article. I had the Note, switched to the One X, switched the GS3. I'm currently back with the One X. There is just something about this phone.

Yes, I love the screen and i think it's the best screen. I thought the size would be too big but i really like how it's designed.
I still think this is the best phone out of the three. Everyone is saying "iPhone 5! Galaxy SIII!" But in all honesty, people overlook the One X, which is better than both in my opinion. Best screen of the three and looks damn good (though I'll admit, the iPhone 5 is sleek). Running CM10, this is, in my opinion, the best android phone in the US.
Should have went into more detail on what makes it better or else it just sounds like words from a fanboy.
Best phone running stock? For sure
Best phone for customizations? in the current state, nope. Even iOS 6 can already be jailbroken
Screen? In my opinion
Design? The camera sticks out a little too much if you have no case, but other than that, yes.
One XL > iPhone 5 > GS3.
I never was a fan of samsung phones, and I never hated apple products, but I certainly won't fanboy and say one thing is better than the other because it just 'is'
I am loving all the attention android is getting. People are finally starting to take notice of our amazing platform, and I don't care which device is leading the way. We all will gradually benefit

I loved my iPhone 4 before it got stolen. Switched to oneX, to give android a try, and I love it.
The one x is definitely the underdog phone. HTC is just not marketing the one x like Samsung and apple are.

Hmm, does over clocking an using a custom.Rom on the V, make it grow into the flagship size 4.7, give it LTE,
NFC and make it look like not a disposable phone?
I guess it must out run the dual core LTE phone even if it's clocked at 2ghz..it's the V afterall!
If so Kool, I can throw a 100 out for one now!

GS3 feels like one of those play phones I had as a child, and iPhone 5 doesn't bring any new innovations to the table. This phone has a great sturdy feel like the iPhone but this amazing open source OS. Now if I could install android on an iPhone 5 I would probably buy it immediately. Not sure why that project stopped, it was around during the iPhone 3G.
I totally agree with the OP - I came from the iPhone world, and I expected to feel some regret when the iPhone 5 was announced but...nope. The One X is already better in most ways I care about, with the possible exception of the camera. I've handled the hardware of the S3 and don't like it nearly as much...I've come to be a huge fan of unibody polycarbonate designs, and the screen on the One X is still unmatched. To Samsung's credit, though, you can get the S3 on pretty much every carrier ever, while the One X is more difficult to track down, especially in the US.
I really hope Google taps HTC or Sony for the next Nexus, instead of going to Samsung again. The One X running stock would be damn near perfect, especially if it got a slight spec bump (slightly better camera, maybe more RAM). That said, I'm pretty damn happy running CM10 on my One X right now, and I can easily see it carrying me through until my next upgrade.
I also wouldn't mind a Lumia 920 running Stock Jelly Bean, but I may as well ask for a damn unicorn.

got an iphone 5 on launch day, coming from a HTC one x unlocked running team venom rom 1.23 with black out kernel. i can compare screens because my htc one x screen is cracked (getting it fixed) but they are both awesome! iphone is now long enough but still to narrow (should of been 4.3 inch). I get bored with phones quickly my ios past has been a 3g, 3gs, and iphone 4 before and i left it for android simple fact that IOS still looks the same as it did 5 years ago, seriously apple not revamping the UI blows my mind.
now that i have had break for 2 years its a nice change up but i know in a month i will be bored. that being said the iphone 5 hardware wise is better then the htc i feel, the build quality is same but the thinness and the way it looks the 5 looks in black really gets me. I always liked the one x and when ever i handed people the one x they always looked at the back and seemed impressed, so its no slouch. while my htc one x was as fast in a short browser test, maybe lost 2 mobile pages to the 5 by a one-two finish, but thats with a rom and a 2.1 OC. im sure if we went full website and less mobile websites where IOS has the edge it may have been different. i feel impressed that the iphone 5 can do this, The S4 krait is a hell of a cpu and has nearly 100% clock on the 5 and can still load pages faster, on the flip side a 5 month old HTC can still perform just as good as apple's brand new phone.
I liked my htc alot but i will be parting ways with it but i will not be leaving android, i plan on getting the note 2 next month and will be possibly switching the two phones out.
While I'm waiting for my One X replacement to come I have used my mom's Galaxy S3 and I do like the One X better. I thought that sense was snappier than Touchwiz. Plus while the screen on the Galaxy S3 isn't bad at all, the One X's is better and also has more color warmth.
Also, I had the liberty of using my brothers new iPhone 5. Performance on it is zippy, but even with the increased screen size it still is puny next to the One X. One X just has more features than the 5 and a way better interface. It also didn't feel much different from the 4s that I'm temporarily using.
Such a shame the One X/XL doesn't get a mention at all in the race between iPhone 5 and the GS3.
I have an upgrade this month on AT&T. Its actually on my granpas phone number because we added him to ours and I could use that upgrade.
What should I do? I almost thought about getting the s3 just to try out and see what its like, but I just hate the look of it and haven't had good service with samsung before.
Also thought about getting iphone 5. I know a good bit about iPhones like jailbreaking and all that good stuff. But I am really an android guy. I could get it for my girlfriend which currently has iphone 4 and sell her iphone 4 possibly.
I would be the one jailbreaking it and all the fun stuff with it lol.
Or should I just wait? Is anything good coming out soon?

HTC One X+ is coming out (One X with a quad core, 2100mAh battery, 64GB storage). That would be a good choice.
Galaxy Note 2 is supposedly coming to AT&T if you like big displays. (Quad core, 2GB of Ram, sd slot)
And then there is a lot of Nexus rumors flying about.
Personally, I would wait and get one of those.
Have you seen the iPhone 5 in person? Its pretty underwhelming. Disappointing, really. It looks almost exactly like the iPhone 4. Just the screen is 1/2 inch longer in portrait orientation, which makes it 16:9 in landscape (for watching HD television programs). It also gives it a goofy long "candy bar" shape compared to most every other smartphone out there. Slightly faster CPU, a bit thinner, and aluminum back (instead of glass). But otherwise its the same old same old. It really brings nothing new to the series. Also, the screen is still so small, it seems like a joke now that I'm accustomed to the One X.
GS3 is not a bad phone, and great dev activity. I might consider it. But we're already a few month along into that phone's cycle. So I wouldn't be surprised if an incremental update is not released on AT&T. Or the Note 2 may be an option for you.
I might consider the One X+, given its an incremental improvement on an already stellar phone. And its coming out on AT&T with 64 GB of storage. But given the bootloader unlock ituation on 2.20, I might wait and see how locked down any future HTC device on AT&T is before a purchase. Or wait for a dev community root/unlock solution before buying.
I haven't seen Iphone 5 in person. I have heard rumors bout the one x. Didn't know it would be worth the upgrade. It would have a lot of the same roms as this wouldn't it? Any info on a date on it?

The One X+ would be worth the upgrade (not the One X which has been out for 4 months now). It should be shipping this month.
And no it will have different ROMs and you will not be able to use the ROMs for the current AT&T version. Different chipset. You will brick your phone.

Alright. I will keep a lookout on it and see what happens with it. There isn't any physical changes as far as looks are there. Cause I like this phone like it is

Man that sucks. The white version is my favorite. Looks better than grey to me.
Looked up some pics of the phone and not a big fan of that red ring on the back camera. Everything else can be covered with a case. But that is just tacky to me lol.
Windows phones are useless. Apple devices make no sense whatsoever. Android is so much easier.
Ever since growing up with Macintosh computers in 80s and 90s and the desire to napalm the original iMac my mother purchased. I find Apple appalling in every way fathomable.
I would atleast wait to see how the Jellybean rom is for the hoxl.

Red is pretty signature for Verizon Droid phones. I'm guessing it will be removed on the AT&T version.
I would wait. There are a lot of phones rumored to come. Like the Samsung s3 but with a smaller screen, HTC one x+, lumia 920(with amazing camera), a new nexus, and the note 2, as well as LG G phone with the new built in LCD screen. A lot of choices.

So with taxes I'm looking to spend about $350 on a phone with no contact. I WAS thinking the nexus 4 but people on craigslist are retarded asking $500+ because people bought out the play store with the intentions of reselling and ripping people off. So other than that I was thinking of getting an s3 or a note 1, possibly a one x.
My questions are, which carrier version, and which one should I get. I want one that I could use on family mobile with better speeds, maybe simple mobile or something. I'm into rooting and roms and overall best specs out there. So which phone should I get in that price range, and which carrier version? Processor and ppi as well as camera is most important to me.

I honestly would go for a razr Maxx hd.... Or an s3. The hd doesn't have as much rom support but it will once the price drops. Plus my battery lasts all day with super heavy data usage!

Personally, the Note is a little on the large side for a phone, however, some people like it. Would suggest that you get some extended hands on time with it out before buying. S3 has good feedback except for the build materials (i.e. drop and chip) and is roughly the form factor that I would be comfortable with and there is quite a bit of ROM development for it. A friend uses a Note 1 and swears by it, connects it up as a laptop at home with keyboard, mouse and monitor (his portable office). Haven't had a chance to test out the OneX but what I have read on the forums are that it has good battery life, solid performance and since it is basically stock, updates are quick. Just got WP8 as a xmas gift, from an SGS2. Don't recommend it, until they fix some pretty fundamental missing features but the camera is by far the best I have seen so far.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Samsung phones. Have a GS2 skyrocket and it's an awesome phone. ROM support is strong, and definitely affordable on your budget.
i would buy the htc one x+. i really like the htc os. a few years ago i bought the htc desire hd and i've never regretted it. so why not switching to another phone by htc
HTC One X looks very cute. But I heard about screen problems. I am most interested in Nexus 4, however it's not available in my country, but I would recommend it. I love that Nexus 4 has stock Android.
HTC one xl owner here....absolutely no screen problems. Gorgeous screen, great ROMs with great devs, great camera and battery life and you will find some at a very nice price. Only downside is storage and no external SD slot.
Funny u mention screen problems as I've heard the nexus 4 has some.
This phone is really good, not cheaply build like the s3 and personally I feel its better (hence why I chose it over the s3)
Oh and BTW our phones are pretty much unbrickable, flashing ROMs is a breeze and rooting can be done with a downloadable script. And they do t suffer from gs3 problems which they seem to be having plenty of.

Well, at the time of release, that was the feeling wasn't it . A 18% (I think off hand) increase in screen with a 25% increase in battery. So yea, it is basically an S2. 0.2GHz more and most everything else is the same.
I think you should go with all new Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch HD Super Amoled touchscreen display that supports 1280x720 pixel resolution natively which runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Got dat One X+ few days ago its amazin with CM 10.1!
If you had an upgrade what would you choose.........
My choice would be the one. I like the LCD screen found on the DNA. I have alot of faith in the 4 Ultra pixel camera. I want a phone that doesn't feel like a child's toy. The quadrant scores on the One were amazing, although I'm sure the S4 will come close. What would you choose?
FYI: all phones have ultra pixels, however there 1.1. The ones found on the One are 2.0. Just saying

HTC uses perfect materials, it feels great when you hold it in your hand
Currently on an htc phone and with HTCs inability to update software in a timely fashion that makes me question them all together.
I have a samsung tablet but I am leaning towards the S4 due to samsung overall being the better product and updating things in a timely manner.
It took htc nearly a year to get ics on this and it's horrible for everything.
Go with Samsung. Overall it's just better supported and more highly recognized

Wait, so we should get a device based on what is more recognized? That's an awesome view you have there, lol!
Wondering what was so bad with ICS? I have an Amaze the wife uses and runs fine, funny she has actually had 3 OTA updates compared to my two on my s3.
I can't wait till the One drops! Definitely my next phone for sure.

The event for the unpacking of the GS4 was ridiculous! Seriously I watched the hole "show" and I was awaiting for the new killer feature that would erase the concurrents.
First of all, the design. Some of you may say "don't change the lineup of a working team" but personally I'm tired of the same designs with Samsung devices lately. It's the same on the GS3, on the note 2 and now on the GS4 ? Show some innovation Samsung!
I love Android, I never had an iPhone and never wanted one, but from the design, iPhone 5 is way better built.
HTC really got that and the amazing device that is the ONE is the proof.
You can't say "yeah I choose my device because it'll have more updates!". Wrong!
Every high marketed device comes with killer features ! 2gb of RAM? That's normal now. 32 or 64 gb of storage / 5 inch screen? Normal too...
The thing is they all look alike in a hardware point of view, that's why nowadays the design is very important.
A good design means a device built with beautiful and premium materials and that the device's design changes from the device that came out before.
Samsung didn't get that. Although the S series of Samsung is gonna sell at uncomputable numbers every one knows that, I don't think it's a major need to upgrade from the s3 to S4 because I just don't see the point except waisting money.
I think it may attract some of those who will walk in a store and see the device (thanks to the amazing job of marketing that Samsung always does) but for those who were waiting it to be a great and revolutionary device, the disappointment is the real feeling.
HTC ONE is the killer smartphone of 2013's beginning, sorry Samsung you'll do better next time. Or not ^^

Me getting S4. Although HTC One has better build quality but for everything else, HTC is not the company I would bet on. It will probably never get updates after one or two.
On the other side Samsung is adding more and more features in each update and from last year when I purchased S3, I already got 3-4 updates. Plus they already working on another one with all these latest features.
On hardware side, I think S4 has upper hand on HTC One. Battery is larger, processor is faster, S4 Screen is bigger but phone is little smaller. S4 Screen is better. Not to mention expendable microSD slot and replaceable battery.
So I would not want a phone with better built quality but strong specs and better features.
I think that's the main reason why I switched from iPhone to S3 in the first place. I know a lots of people might hate me for saying this but iPhone has best build quality among all phones out there.
So definitely Galaxy S4.
I said " I love Android, I never had an iPhone and never wanted one, but from the design, iPhone 5 is way better built."
So please understand my sentence as it sound ^^
I'll say again maybe in other words this time, when you grab an iPhone 5 and when you grab a S3, don't tell me that the S3 has a more premium look and feel... And that's not a question of opinion, that's a fact.
I never mentioned the prices of the devices but if you want to, we'll see the price of the S4, when they'll show it at 699$ then you'll tell me the difference with the iPhone. The only device that is worth talking on a price basis is the Nexus 4. The rest of'em are just a scam

iPhones honestly aren't worth the price no matter how discounted they are.
While they may be built better your comparing apples to oranges. No pun intended on the apple thing.

Well it's probably true for new buyers. But for a experienced users, it matters.
When I switched S3 from iPhone, I didn't actually know about all this. I had option to choose S3 or HTC One X and I went with S3 because it's more popular and had better support.
From what I learn in last year, I could never buy HTC or Motorola phones.
These companies never support their devices. They even lock bootloaders so we cannot update our devices ourself or install updated custom roms.
I am also a little disappointed with S4 release but I would pick S4 over HTC one any day.

This was exactly like last year for me.
I wanted a phone with huge storage capacity/microSD capacity and long battery life/removable battery with decent specs. And QWERTY but I have given up on the last thing.
The HTC One X was released and as pretty as the White one was, it definitely was not a purchase I was willing to make and I waited for the Samsung Galaxy S3 announcement. The announcement came and Samsung gave me what I wanted. I bought the S3.
Fast forward this year. HTC One announced. Still no microSD slot but looks like decent battery life. Looks very pretty too (I still think the white One X is the best looking HTC phone though). Not bad this time around HTC but let's wait to hear from Samsung. S4 gets announced and again, they have what I want from last year.
If I was choosing again between HTC or Samsung this year: Samsung Galaxy S4 because it has what I want from last year.
Luckily I want more stuff this year which is why I'm not going to buy a S4. My S3 is lovely and I don't need to buy an S4. However, I now really want a bigger screen. This year, I'll be looking to buy a Note 3 or competitor version as long as it has a huge screen, huge capacity/microSD, huge battery.
Honestly, I don't care what company you are or even what your phone looks like (I bought the S3 for god sakes). Just give me what I want and I'd buy it. I'm also eyeing the Blackberry Q10 simply because of the QWERTY but I think my lust for a bigger screen will win out. Plus the stylus is alright...right?
