The One X has been out for a month already, and since I am buying from a friend, I have to drop $500 off contract for it. Is it worth getting it right now? I am going to get the iPhone 5 anyways, but I am not sure if it is worth getting the One X if a new android phone is around the corner. I have no real NEED for it, but I want to start learning how to develop apps since I know Java and C++. I would love the One X, but is now the right time to buy it? :cyclops:
It's a great phone, you'll love it. Talk your friend down to $450.

If you have the money and desire, I say go for it... What do you mean when you ask if it's the right time to buy it? I don't think that there is a right/wrong time to buy it... If you wait, there will be more development done and the price might be cheaper.... If you get it now, you will own a bleeding edge phone.... It's up to you

I had the international version for a while, and it was truly stellar. Sold that, switched to iPhone, now i want it back. But do you think that if I am spending the money, I should wait a bit and get the Galaxy S3? Or this?
Is it worth waiting around a month if I don't need it really badly? Or should I jump the gun for $450?
There's always a new phone around the corner and the SGS3 vs HOX debate has been discussed ad nauseum. Play with it, and if you like it more than the iphone do it. Or go play with a SGS3 somewhere.
Don't rely on these boards to define your personal opinion for you.
That being said 450 - 500 is pretty good for a very new model phone. You can check the unsubsidized price quite easily online which should inform your asking price once you settle on what you want.
Just wondering - are these phones all for personal use or business? Why are you getting an android phone and an iphone 5? Just an enthusiast?

Enthusiast and because I'm in my high school years so I've started some app development on the iPhone and I want to see what it's like on android too. iPhone 5 just cause I have an upgrade then
If you want to play around just get a galaxy s 2 variant. Save some dough. I'd only spend the money if I were going to keep it at least a year. But then again I wouldn't get the One X because it barely has any storage
I just went from a Samsung Galaxy S II to the HTC One X (AT&T) and I love it. Not only is it quite a bit snappier, the build quality far surpasses the Galaxy S II. The only negative I can note are the non-expandable memory and beats audio does not play nice with my car stereo. I have to set the stereo to "Flat", instead of my custom setting, or there is a really loud whining noise. On headphones though, the audio is great. Overall I feel it is just a better product build quality wise, and that makes a big difference to me.
I paid only $119.88 for mine at Best Buy since they price matched WalMart for me.
Instead of $500 i would get the galaxy nexus unlocked for $399 (plus shipping+tax)
Build quality is a lot better then any galaxy phone. The only down fall to the one x is the small storage but that's why I kept my note. This is def better then any iPhone

The GNex ends up being around $450 shipped. If he can get the HOX for that price it would be downright stupid to get the GNex. It's a decent device, and but it has nothing on the HOX. Its hardware was behind the curve before it even came out.

Its a great phone, I love it. I was having a hard time deciding between the HTC ONE X and the google nexus. I ended up going with the one x. The nexus has a smaller screen and it also has software buttons as opposed to hardware buttoms. Software buttons are nice except that it takes up screen space.
There are other phones now on the market, like the Samsung GSII which has more RAM and may or may not be better than the One X. But I like this phone and I'll stick with it.
Read Anandtech's reviews for the AT&T One X and the AT&T/T-Mobile GS3.
It is really down to what you prioritize.

this is good advice. Get a previous generation android device, running gingerbread like an SGS II or Inspire or something inexpensive on craig's list.
If you fall in love with Android, THEN spend the money on a flagship phone.

sometimes I wish I still had one to play with, maybe learn some devving myself.
I love my phone.
For me it was between the Galaxy Nexus GSM from the Play store or this, but as soon as I went to the store to try this out I knew I had to get it. I bought the phone for the same reasons as you (to start developing, I'm in high school as well) and I've had good success with it (check out my Evervolv ROM )
I'd say go for this but its really personal opinion.
I love the phone itself, since I had the international version (toooo priceyyy) but I really dont know about buying it second hand and whether if I wait just a month, the price will decrease to liek $350 or some mindblowing new device will come out. But there's always that possibility that I will screw myself over getting it now instead of waiting a month.
Also, do you think that the iPhone 4S is futureproofed to the iPhone 5? Is it going to be a "worth-it" upgrade to go from the 4S to the 5 when it comes out? I know there's not a lot we know for sure about the device, but from what we know so far.
Also, what will retain more value over the long run (7-8 months from now)... the One X or the Galaxy S III?
As a person who has had several androids over a short period of time (galaxy s, thrill, g note) the one x is my favorite. The batterylife and screen alone has madw it my daily driver. So I say go for it.

To make this simple, I've always wanted a nexus phone. I came from having an iPhone, where everything was uniform, same hardware, and consistent updates were expected. The only time you didn't get an update the day it came out was if your phone was at it's end of life update cycle. But this is the reason I've always wanted a nexus phone. There's something about having a pure google experience that can't be mucked around by manufacturers.
However I am at a dilemma. When the Galaxy Nexus was first announced I was immediately sold. I wanted that phone. Then the sad news came that AT&T was not getting a subsidized version. I could not afford to drop $500 (At the time, yes I know it has droppped) on a phone, especially one without LTE.
But now I have my HOXL and I do love it, I just wish this amazing hardware could actually be put to good use. Probably my number one issue is the fact that there is no google wallet, which I have been dying for. What's the point of AT&T not allowing it when the reason for it (ISIS) has not even been released? And the other huge problem I have is Android Updates, who knows how quickly this phone will get updated. Most phones don't even have ICS yet, and before someone claims to just use a ROM like AOKP or CM9, I would, gladly, but because the kernel is not released, those ROMS don't work with 100% functionality like I need.
This all being said,
tl;dr
I want a Nexus phone. Probably wont trade for Galaxy Nexus because the hardware is already outdated, but maybe one of the 5 nexus' phones in November. Do you guys think someone will trade after the phone is 6 months old?

Android phones are hard to predict.
6 Months is half a product cycle of an iPhone.
The HTC One X(L) is a fantastic device. We don't even have Kernel Source yet and look at the development we've seen so far. Sit tight.
I think ISIS will be a huge fail and Google Wallet will be allowed eventually.

Probably not only because those phones will be unsubsidized, meaning that they will be dropping the money on those phones, going out of their way to buy one off-contract, rather than simply paying less for a subsidized one. I feel like whoever is going to buy those phones will actually really want them. If they wanted the One X, they would have dropped the money on that (and probably for a cheaper price)
And I agree with you that you never know when you will get an official update for Androids, however I honestly couldn't care less if our phone never gets an official update again, so long as we have the source code.... Once we have that we will ALWAYS be on the cutting edge of the Android platform...(and yes...it will be stable as well...like the previous poster said...our phone is only a month an a half old and we do not have the source yet...once we get that you will see much much much improvement.)
It does concern me that the fact that the SGSIII is now out and uniform amongst all US carriers AND they have the source....I just hope that some good devs still decide to get the One X
And HTC really ought to open their eyes to the fact that they are going to have to release the source eventually, and they are only shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing the source now, now that SGSIII is out WITH source...
People have mentioned all kinds of crazy trades, so anything is possible, I guess. But as mentioned in above responses, I wouldn't bet on a straight out one-for-one trade. Trading what is probably going to be a flagship phone, for a phone that is 5-6 months old is probably not going to be considered a fair trade by most people. You may have to sweeten the deal by throwing in something extra, or extra cash to make it a fair trade. Or sell the One X for whatever you can get for it, then buy the Nexus of your choice.
Yeah it bugs me too that Samsung has a better rep with developers than HTC does. Of course with past phones they had to. Imagine the Captivate with locked bootloader and no source (shudder)
I miss my Galaxy Nexus. I didn't think it'd take so long for us to get the kernel source code and that's holding back development. No CM9 = no care.
This is an awesome phone stock and with the mods and customizations it's a lot better, but I can't even get full contact pictures without a ton of pixelization and that's annoying. Can't undervolt or use any of the fantastic kernels that devs release, because they can't work on this damn phone. HTC are being assholes to their loyal devotees so it's pretty disappointing.
Awesome phone, but no where near the level of homebrew/hobby development because of HTC. I want to love this phone but when I see what the HTC One X guys have with their Tegra 3 chip I get so jelly

Funny, I left my GN to get the HOX because of the terrible radio. Although the software was great, I got really slow data speeds on the GN no matter what radio I flashed. My HOX gets fantastic speeds now.
Whether the radio is good or not is never one of the specs reviewers talk about but without a good radio, the phone is not much use. Do a few searches on Samsung radios and you will see that they have a poor reputation.
And as far as development is concerned, ask SG2 owners how long it took to get CM to work because of the weird blue tooth drivers Samsung used....

Try using HD contact photos (app). Seems to work pretty well as long as you don't use the HD resolution feature in the advanced settings.

Samsung is a bigger company. They have leverage against carriers. HTC is desperate.
Another reason is, samsung is the biggest electronics manufacturing company in the world. This is why the nexus is able to sell at $350. There is no other company that can provide such cost efficiency. Only samsung has the infrastructure.

I don't think we're gonna see anymore developers then what we currently have. They're gonna flock to the sgs3 and the nexus phones. Also, with another better One X supposedly rumored, why would they get this phone? We haven't reached the most roms well get but we've most likely seen which developers will work on them. This phone was doomed one the sgs3 and jelly bean came out. Source or no source.

The iphone i have decided on is the Iphone 5 which is going to come out
(Now before you start flaming me let me tell u thtat i am a die hard andorid fan and have always ran android)
i have an upgrade in november il tell my parents to use to buy me the new iphone and send it to mw
the reason im goign to iphone is because i love toying with android and it has so many more features that are in every way better than ios but the program im attending is a very hardcore program and i want to fore my self from toying with my phone cause that uses alot of time
so my end question is this should i trade my htc one x for an iphone now because when the new 5 comes out i would want to resell my phone and as everyone knows iphones have the best resale value
so will the htc have a better resale once the new iphone comes out or will the current 4s

I'd think hard about what you really want.... If you try love android as much as you say you do, you won't be happy with an iphone and you will spend more time kicking yourself then just being happy and staying on top of your studies while balancing phone stuff like a responsible adult...
That is not a flame just an honest statement.... You really should be able to moderate yourself... Checking the forums once a day and flashing a rom once a week sounds like a comfortable amount and will not distract from your studies
But if you really have to force yourself away from what you actually want then you can do that as well
Sent from my iphone 7s using Tapatalk 2
iPhones typically have the best resale value but by the fall the 4S will be so old that it's hard to say. I sold my 64gb iPhone 4S for $550 to help cover the cost of my HOX, and it was beat up all to hell. I would keep the One X, just because it is the better device. I will warn you though, switching to the iPhone is not going to keep you from playing with your phone. Between jailbreak mods and games, I was on that thing ALL THE DAMN TIME. It is a slick little device, and is just as tempting to fiddle with as the HOX is.
to answer your question tho, the iphone 4 will probably sell for more than your one X when the iP5 drops. The reason for this being HTC will already have a newer,better phone out by then. Not to knock it, im posting from an Android but the bottom line is i could sell my unlocked 32GB 4s and buy about 3 of the best flag ships Android has. The reason for this is that there is only 1 iphone per year(sometimes more) so when u get the iphone u know u will have the best apple offers for at least a year. When u get a HTC/MOTO/SAMMY, and its their flagship---u have maybe 4-5 months. With the only exception having been the GS2.

Apple stuff holds the reale value very well.
Android phones drop in value a LOT faster. I don't think I'd go to an iPhone just to be tempted not to play with it. After all they can be jailbroken too.
Buy the one that you can actually unlock and use overseas. That's what matters.

totally agree but there's still a lot to play with on a jailbroken iPhone so that part of the argument still is relevant.
Yeah jailbreaking an iphone is nothing like rooting and ROMing an Android but there are still some cool mods and tweaks you can do (that usually end up mimicking native Android features lol). That said, the iPhone is anything but boring. It is a great little device. Limited, but great nonetheless.

You can buy your unlock code from eBay for something around $5. Or if you wait a few more months (end of this year), you can get the code from AT&T for free.

Agree with this general notion. Med school (then residency and then internship) requires a ton of dedication, discipline and self control. If having one phone versus another is going to capsize your study habits, you have bigger issues to address than what phone to own.

Most likely different processors.
Supposed to be tegra 3 based.
Oh, hey look, another HTC i-device. What are they gonna lock down on this one, date and time changes? Widget locations on the home screen? Contact pictures?
I love my HOX, but HTC's pussification by bowing to AT&T to lock down the device is absurd, and goes against everything their CEO promised the modding/dev community. This very well may be the last time I buy from HTC.
OP how does this suck for us exactly? This is how it goes. Either way, it looks like replacement for intl hox, not ours.
If this had a quad core s4 I'd be mad. However it doesn't.. so I'm not. :thumbup:

Are people seriously expecting upcoming phones to remain the same or.. be slower? Of course they will be faster and better than what we already have. It will have been at least 1/2 a year by the time this C2 comes out. Deal with it!

To be honest according to those specs I'd still prefer this version simply because of the battery sipping s4. I think tegra3 will shine in tablets.

That's what I was thinking international... But then I remembered the T-mobile rumor.
http://m.techcrunch.com/2012/07/25/htc-one-x-rumored-to-launch-on-t-mobile-come-september/
Still were divided into Tegra and Snapdragon camps anyway. Personally I prefer the battery life on the dual core platform especially considering how close in performance it can be. At this point I'm ready for any good news for HTC as they've been taking a beating in market share from Samsung lately.
It only sucks for people who NEED to be on the bleeding edge of technology. That was me a few years back until i realized i didn't have the resources to fund my expensive habit. So i tend to stay happy with the device i have now
But it does seem like HTC isn't staying so true to their word that they were gonna slow down the amount of devices. But this year is better than last year that's for sure.
I would totally buy that, except this is my last HTC device.

I'm in the same boat. I would love to unleash my inner tech whore and plunk down money like there's no tomorrow on phones but honestly there's not a damn thing wrong with my one X. It's got great build quality, a great camera, awesome battery life and AOKP. Pretty much all I can ask for in a phone. I figure it will last me at least a year and a half which is more than I can say for pretty much every other phone I've ever owned. Only phone to last me over a year was my old nokia e71 (which I keep as a backup) and that was before I was exposed to the wonderful world of Android on my nexus one.
Same thing happens every time a new device comes out.
I don't get it. You think they should hold off bringing out a new phone until you've had enough of yours?
Is called progression...
I think ( tho could be wrong ) the op meant it sucks in terms of support.
I do understand....I bought 2 Evo 3d's paid over a grand for them 6 months later the phone is dropped for the 4G and I did well to sell one for 175 bucks, where as had I bought iphones I would have not lost so much.
So here we have the hox currently one hot phone, you bring out the "rumored" phone and now the hox turns in to ugly friend that nobody wants to date. So value drops, development drops, and support drops.
So yeah I see how it sucks.
Funny how you bring up the iPhone thing. I always think the same.. I switched to ATT the day the HOX came out. And now while I love the phone I don't want to be stuck with a phone that won't have development. With what little devs we have we are doing great, but what incentive do they have to stay when better phones are popping up? And now were stuck with this phone hardly anybody wants to buy after f____ing ATT dropped the price to a measly 100 dollars. That was a damn quick price drop.

The linked article does not mention LTE. And I think Tegra chipsets with LTE are not coming until late this year, or even 2013? Without LTE, AT&T is not going to pick up this phone.
Looks to be an upgrade for international carriers, or a flagship for T-Mobile. Either way, that wouldn't affect our development much, if at all.
OK, so I get an ATT phone upgrade within the next few days - to a few weeks. I have been researching. I cannot spend really any money on a phone. The 1x, and 1VX is basically free.
I have been leaning to one x.
My draw back is I have been reading online that it has a really poor battery, and screen problems where it just goes back. What are the chances of these happening? I haven't seen really anything bad about the VX but it isn't as powerful.
So anyway, what are the chances of one one x going bad? This phone has to last me for 2 years. As a student, I do not have the money to spend anymore than what I already have to. I have AT&T.
Thank you.

It seems silly to me to ask in the one x forum if you should get a one x, we all got one. Battery life is fine here, on sense 16 hours with medium usage, listening to music, some web surf some texting.
Screen just going black? Maybe if you use a ****ty third party charger or one not meant for the phone. There is a bug if you let it discharge completely, it has a hard time coming back on. It's a little late to get a onex though..
I got this at 0 dollars over six months ago. Maybe wait for the next decent 0 dollar android phone.To expect a phone thats about a year old to last 2 more years is silly.

-Don't root, unlock, or otherwise try to mod your phone.
-Use only the charger that came with it.
Follow those two, and your chance of a spontaneous brick is very small (and would be covered under warranty anyway--AT&T is very good about replacements).
Thank you for your help everyone. I do appreciate it greatly.
How long does AT&T cover their phones by chance?
How would you compare the reliability, and usability of One X to the One VX? It seems they are similar when I read the specs. Has anyone had both of them? I know the VX is newer.
Don't get either

I'm looking at the price and I recommend instead of getting the one x or vx (get the x if your going to take one of those two), but for the same price you can get an s3 (awesomeness) an optimus g with quad core power and wellishly reviewed by even cnet (the guys who are the most strict reviewers in my opinion with android devices(but let's not into a debate like that.)).
Just saying keep your options open. I like the one x a lot especially rooted but I will admit the s3 and optimus g are better phones overall

Did they fix the slow redraw of the home screen on the Optimus g?

The Optimums G is 100 dollars, and s3 is 50. I don't have the money . I'm a student so it's hard to come by cash at this point lol. It's going to cost me 30 to get the phone turned on as it is . If the s3 was the same price as the one x I would get it in a heart beat . I have a few friends with it.
I thank you.
