One X or Rezound?

I Really want to get a new HTC phone so i could get rid of my blackberry. I used to have a touchpro 2 and loved it!
so ive been researching both the rezound and one X but i can't come to a conclusion of which one to get... just looking for some opinions.
Thanks

(You are on the One X forum, people will ALWAYS say that you should buy the One X)
Anyway, the Rezound is a phone from last year (not even the best one). The HTC is currently the best phone on the market equipped with enouf hardware to last the next 1-2 years without a problem!
I'd go for the One X unless money is really the issue, then go for the Rezound. But if not : One X all the way.

I've also posted this on the rezound found and there are mixed reviews(some say one x and other say rezound) so it doesn't really matter where i post

Sorry but such threads belong in the General General forum.
Cheers

i got my htc one x today and what a phone you wouldnt be disapointed if you got one

How can you even compare the two. One works for cdma, one doesnt..

Depends on your carrier, If verizon, rezound, if not A one X variant. Rezound could still hold its own today and probably will for a while. But that one X is sexyy

One X or S3 or stick with my XE

Im on my 1st Android a Sensation XE coming from iPhones and have to say loving it.
I'm now thinking even though only had my XE for 6 months, on the One X. Worried a little though on the battery life and non replaceable, I am a heavy user.
Also now the S3 is announced and is nigh on the same physical size and wondering on people who have a One X what would they do if now had choice?
Cheers

I love my One X. The S3 is going to be an awesome phone too. If you like HTC (and it looks like you do) you can't go wrong with grabbing a One X. Although, if I knew what I know now about multiple nexus devices, I might have waited to grab one of those. Really, if you're going for a high end android phone from 2012 I don't know that you really can go wrong.

search research read and make your own mind up. that is how you going to know if the phone is for you. you might think i am joking but i am being serious..and not being horrible it is true..search and you will find loads of threads asking the same question as you what phone is the best. google is your friend..good luck and hope you all the best whatever you decide....but if you like Nexus phones then wait till october when the new one gets released

All depends on whether you like sense or touchwiz. Easiest way to find out is to go to retail shop and try before you buy.

the very best way is to buy both and sell the one that you dnt like if you have the money, of course
and the best way is to use google and research like the guy above says, because you ask this question in the OneX threads and everybody who have a OneX loves it ... and i love it too ... some issues are still there to be honest, but with the next OTA it will all be perfect.

I personally feel that HTC one X has a more beautiful design than S3. S3 is not ugly but to me is definitely not a beauty. However, there are some crucial things that S3 has but HTC one X doesn't have which is removable battery and a SD card slot.
Hence my advice to you is know what your preferences is whether is a hardware design or having a removable battery. Then make your decision

Batterywise, The One X, with older 1.28 firmware is better than my old Sensation was even when using the XE battery.

Thanks for replies.
I can't say I prefer HTC sense over touchwiz as never used touchwiz, I've tried it for 2mins in a shop once.
I think I prefer the look of the One X, but the removable battery tempting, do you think the One X will get any of the software features of S3? eg the smart screen stay on thing etc?
The One X I would probably buy if its a bit cheaper which it is at mo,.probably about £350, whereas S3 is going to be £500 or £34/month.....

If you must upgrade, I'd go for the SGS3. But if you can wait, I would. The Sensation XE can pretty much do anything the other two can, albeit a little slower. But who cares?

[Q] Is going for a HTC One X a good choice right now?

Hello,
I've been waiting to upgrade from my HTC Desire (yes, I know, any phone now will be an upgrade from the Desire). I live in Japan and we usually dont all the good Android phones that makes it to stateside. We do have GS2 and Gs3 is coming, but there is no HTC One X. Despite One X being the flagship HTC phone, carrier KDDI decided to get only HTC One S, and even that they modified the hell out of it.
I only have the choice of GS3 and One X, which I'll be buying an international version, not through a carrier. I had set my mind on the One X, as performance wise they are similar, and and I love the One X build over the GS3 plastic frame. There's no denying that One X is a sexy phone.
Sorry for the irrelevant details.
Right now, I'm really worried about getting the One X because:
1) Multitasking issue
2) Wifi issue
3) Battery overheating
I will not be using 3G data on this so Wifi is very important to me. And I would consider One X removing apps from cache is a big problem. I usually switch back and forth between apps quite often.
So my question is, although there are some workarounds for multitasking issue, given other issues, would you recommend getting this phone right now? Or should I wait out a bit more? Or go for GS3 because these issues are just too serious? Or will there be a custom ROM coming out soon so I can just flash.
Please help me with your opinions.
Thank you.

Go for S3.

I have the Evo LTE (Sprint), and if it is anything like It's one x cousin, I'd go for it. But I am partial to HTC devices.
You won't be disappointed either way I'm sure.

A few questions about the One X

I'm looking for a new phone. I currently have a Nexus One that I got in July 2011. It was a pretty good phone when I got it (despite it being a year and a half old then), but now it's really showing its age. I've rooted it and installed ICS, but due to the limited ROM and RAM on the Nexus One, there are some problems. Furthermore, I've been running into data connectivity problems with the Nexus One (that I believe are hardware problems related to age) that are really annoying.
Anyway, I've been looking at getting a One X to replace my current Nexus One. I really want to stick with HTC; my past two phones have been HTCs and I really like their build quality and design, which is why I'm looking at the One X.
Before, I dive in and buy a One X (which I will likely get used on eBay), I have a few questions. I have AT&T. My current plan is on an old family plan with unlimited minutes and messaging, with 300 MB data. I don't want to change anything about the plan, but I am pretty sure I'll need a new SIM. Will AT&T be able to give me a new LTE Micro SIM for free no questions asked?
Next, how easy is it to root and install custom bootloaders, recoveries, and ROMs on the One X? I know that HTC doesn't want us messing with things, but I'm pretty sure that I'll want to play around with new ROMs on the One X, providing I get one. After living with stock Android and things like CM and AOSP for the past two and a half years, I told myself that I'd give Sense a legitimate test, but if I don't like it, I'll definitely install a new ROM.
Last thing: white or dark gray? I think that both colors look great. I've seen them both in person and can't make up my mind. White looks really clean and is definitely something different, but I'll probably get a case for the phone which will cover most of the case coloring, so it may not make much of a difference anyway.
Thanks.

I honestly suggest going with the HTC one. If you get the one x from att or it's on the new firmware and wasn't rooted, you will be stuck on stock. The reason I suggest the one is that it'll be brand new while the hox will be a year old by then.. The hox is still good, but the end of it's life already came. I doubt HTC will support it further.

If we get sense 5 as has been confirmed? by reliable soures then that'll bring a fresh wave of development to the one x. I do agree though about getting the one over the one x.

If you have had your current phone since 2011 are you due for an upgrade? HOX are still going for a good chunk of change on eBay and craigslist, I got mine a few weeks ago from radioshack for 99cents.

I've been due for an upgrade from AT&T for a while now, but like I mentioned in the original post, I'm on a family plan with my parents, who don't want to change anything with the plan and don't want to extend the contract out either. I've bought my past two phones off contract and I don't really have a problem with doing so for my next one. I'm looking at a One X just for this reason. For what it is, it seems to be the best deal off contract; I've been seeing them going for about $200-250 on eBay. If I were to wait for the One, I'd probably be looking at prices in excess of $500.

If I was in your boat, I'd get the latest nexus. Updates come way faster than they ever did with any of my other phones and the price is right.

The Nexus 4 is my next choice after the One X. I do love the Nexus line and the Nexus 4 is a really pretty phone, but the all glass back concerns me a bit. It seems like it would be a bit too fragile.
Anyway, any route that I go, I'll probably have to get a new SIM. Will AT&T give me a micro SIM with LTE support?

If they're like any of the carriers here, you'll have to buy the sim. Usually around $10 I imagine.

I went from a nexus one to the HOX as well. A new sim was included with the phone when I got it. If one isn't included you can just go into an ATT store and ask for it. I got one for the wife's new phone that way without any charge.

Is the One X with new firmware (Jelly beam, I'm guessing) not able to be rooted? Would I still be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMs?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app

The new OneX with 4.1.1 is not rootable.
You will not be able to flash custom roms.

Unless you can find a telus or rogers OneX... But I dunno if you can use att service lol Then you can unlock bootloader very simply :thumbup: I say go for it bro... I love love love my hox. I've never had trouble with it till I dropped it and cracked screen, but I like the bleeding edge of technology so I seen it as an opportunity to upgrade If your used to the N1 the hox with feel like a speed demon on cocaine

I have been noticing that my Nexus One has been seeming to slow down a lot lately. I would go for the Nexus 4, but it's lack support for AT&T's LTE bands has me concerned. The One X seems like it's a best match for me. It has the HTC build quality that I really like, it has great dev support here at XDA, it has a 720p screen, and true LTE support. Even if I get a device with Jelly Bean that can't be rooted or unlocked now, I put my full faith in the community here. I feel like we as a group can work around the limitation and find a way to root the 4.1 One X.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I got my One X this past Saturday. I love it. It's a huge step up from my Nexus One. Everything about it just seems high-end compared to the Nexus One.
The screen is amazing; moving from WVGA to 720p is a huge step up; everything looks so crisp and clear, but that's to be expected when you have a PPI that almost matches a Retina display.
The phone is blazing fast. There's virtually no lag while doing anything at all, which couldn't be said for my Nexus One. It was a pain just trying to browse the web on the Nexus, but with the One X, it's a complete delight.
One of my main concerns with the One X was the battery life. The sealed battery doesn't bother me at all; I never replaced the batteries or any of my previous phones. With my average usage (about 30 minutes browsing the internet over HSPA a day [no LTE here yet], a few texts, and little to no calling, plus occasional WiFi,) I'm getting about the same battery life as I got with my Nexus One. At the end of two days of use, I was at about 20% battery.
Finally, my biggest concern was dealing with Sense. When I was thinking about getting the phone, I don't think the bootloader for v3.18/Android 4.1.1 was unlocked, but I believe it's now unlocked. I got the phone and one of the first things that I did was install Holo Launcher HD, my preferred launcher for a stock Android 4.x experience. To be honest, I can deal with Sense...for now. I've always used stock Android on all my devices, so this is my first time dealing with Sense (or any skin) on a daily driver device, but it's pretty manageable. I think I'll stick with stock Sense for the time being until I feel that I have to have a AOSP or CM10 experience on the One X. There are a few annoyances with Sense, but they're manageable.
Overall, I'm very glad I got the One X, and I don't regret the decision at all.

[Q] Should I buy a HTC one X?

I'm looking for an Android phone with a good camera and it seems HTC One X fits my budget ($250). I read that HTC One camera develops purple fringes. Is that true for One X too? Please advise if it's still worthy buying HTC One X or if you have other suggestions please let me know.

Are you wanting the HTC One X or the HTC One XL / at&t One X? You're asking in the HTC One XL / at&t One X forum. The camera on this phone is fine, I've never had a problem with it.

It's going to be mostly AT&T HTC One X. That's what I find being sold in Ebay. That said I was assuming that there should not be much difference between the AT&T version and the other versions of One X. I could be wrong.

They look similar but they're entirely different on the inside. But you're in the right place for the at&t version. In my opinion it's the better phone; far superior development if you're looking to unlock/root it, the Qualcomm chip doesn't heat up nearly as much as the chip in the international One X, and if course it's LTE too.
Sent from my Evita

That said, it's an older phone (as phone development cycles go) that's not getting the newest Android, so... you know, as long as you're OK with that.

Just to be clear, it may not be getting the latest Android via an official update but I'm currently running 4.4.2 thanks to our developers. Just saying it won't get the latest version might be a bit misleading.

Hoxl for me has been awesome. Its time for me to upgrade devices but I enjoy my hoxl so much I'm actually pretty content with it. Curious to see if hTC will survive its money issues and possibly create a curve version

No. I hate this phone. The battery lasts too damn long and the 4G is too fast.

I'm sure you can find Moto X's around 250 on Craigslist or eBay? There is that Monday Sale (300$) coming up as well.
Outside of that, One X is an okay choice. It would be better if you wait though. We're probably only 2 months from HTC introducing their next phone and that could probably drive HTC One prices to 250.

What ROM are you using?
I'm strongly considering buying the Moto X tomorrow, but if I can get good battery life with this phone, I'll gladly pass.

I'm on cm11 w/stock gapps.. If you use 4G exclusively you'll get roughly 8 hours. Its hard to tell from this shot but standby is amazing.

Moto X is strong piece of hardware.. I haven't checked out the x forums but the the moto Atrix had excellent Dev support.
Just don't expect much from Motorola.. And for that reason alone I can't recommend the x.
