just wanted to share my experience i had today.
got a call from my local dealership that the One X had arrived, as i had shown huge interest in it.. as my previous phone got molested by my car..
went to take a look on the sexy thing. and the screen blew me away, but got a little disappointed when actually holding the phone, didn't get a "premium" feel that a 800$ phone should have. sure, it has a very practical poly carbonate shell casing etc..
but i had made up my mind anyway and was going to close the deal and walk away with the X, then the salesman opened up a drawer and put the One S in my hands.. it was not put up on display as they just arrived that hour.
well, what can i say?.. it really appealed to me, the thickness, the weight, the sturdiness, the cold matte surface.. it just felt so good that i bought it without even seeing it being turned on.. silly? i guess.. but we hit it off from the first second..
was worried about the screen as i just had a Razr, and was not so fond of the pentile screen, but this is something different.. better calibrated? who knows, it looks very nice..
i think last time i had this feeling for a phone out of the box was my first android, a htc hero.. and it have been about 8-10 android phones (even a ipone, brrrr.. that lasted 3 days i think) in between that.
hoping the community and developers will remember this phone also, when the smoke from the One X has settled.
well thats my two cents for today, good night from Norway...
What country has introuced HTC one X
or if USA which network has got it and how to get it
Nice. What would you say is better about the screen vs the Razr? Like is it less pixelated, the colors more accurate etc?

i would say that the colors are more accurate, and yes, not so pixelated as i noticed on the Razr. also not any "spots" when the screen is dark.

Awesome, thanks. Yeah it was my suspicion that Motorola did a poor job implementing the screen on their devices. I'm sure the screen will exhibit some of the shortcomings of the technology, but what I saw on the Moto phones was quite alarming.
You just made the wait for me even harder... I hope I get that same experience with the One S

Nice to read, can you enlighten us with the quality of the screen during a sunny day outside?

Interesting...
I had just about made my mind up to go for a One S. I walked into an O2 shop in Germany today and they had a live One X display model, as well as dummy versions of both the One X and S. It was actually the One X that appealed more when I compared [the dummy versions] side-by-side due to the larger display size.
I guess I will have to wait until I can find a genuine One S on display to make my mind up...
Same happened to us my wife was all excited about the One X until she held it so she opted for the One S more user friendly

Recieved my One X on monday, and I'm already looking at this phone.
I guess I'll have to give it some time, but it feels too big and the battery really sucks.
Do you know anything about how the camera, battery and sound quality (from 3.5mm) is on the One S compared to the X?
Camera is the same, battery life will be better because of less cores and smaller screen, and sound quality I can't imagine is any different

Which firmware version do you have?
If you got the 1.26, then you should wait for the 1.27 ...
Battery life on the One X should be a lot better with this new version
Nevertheless, battery life on the One S will always be better (except for standby) due to the 28nm architecture and the lower resolution screen.

Engadget says that there is a difference in camera performance, altough hardware is exactly the same.
It seems that the One X performs a bit better as the software is more optimized.

Quintusdias; the wait is worth it..
Rousseauxy: couldnt tell, cause we had a cloudy day today. but as far as daylight it is no problem at all.. very bright and high contrast as Amoled is known for.
Ascot17; cant argue with you there, the One X screen is better.. but the feel of the phones compared next to each other left me no doubt.. the one X feels cheap compared to the S. and also the 4.3" screen is easier to handle grip-wise.. but specs on the X are awesome. but then again, the dual core Kraits are hardcore..
with the 28nm Krait cores battery life should be much better than the X. only had one charge on the phone so hard to say. but lasted to the day without any problem. been alot of fiddling to say the least!
Unclespoon; the camera is awesome. this is the best i have ever seen on a phone. even my wife's panasonic Lumix camera is struggling to keep up to this. HTC have been amazing at the camera front. if the camera is better on the X, i cant say since i didn't get to try it much. but i cant believe it is better since both phones runs the same hardware on the cameras..
Can't Wait
I just bought the One S today and it's charging right now so I've not used it yet. I read the reviews of the X and the S but went for the S due to the better battery life and the speed. The X may have more cores and a bigger screen but the S is meant to be faster and the screen is big enough for me
Just received mine, it's the most ****ing sexy phone I have ever seen. It's incredible. If I was hesitating between the One S, One X and the Galaxy Nexus, I don't regret for a second my choice.

Sweet, thx
I can completely share this experience. Went to look for both devices, honestly more eager for the X.. but having both of them directly in front of me I lost interest in the X completely and only focused on the S.. the difference in quality/haptic is huge.. sure, the display of the X is a blast.. but to cite my girlfriend who was standing right next to me in this situation (translated):
"are you totally nuts?! i know you for sure and i love you.. even for wanting to stay a little boy.. but that's not a mobile at all(One X)!! go and buy a freaking ipad or i don't know in addition but this is ridiculous...and it looks cheap compared to this stylish thing (One S)"
What should I say: she's absolutely right.

Have been into a phone shop today and had a play with both phones. Am going for the One S as well. It feels more comfortable in the hand. The One X looks really good but feels like a stretch for my thumb.
Just out of curiosity, talking small hands. Would any of you who have owned the device happen to have as small hands as I? I have gloves size 10 and 9(thight fit) and wonder if the S will be comfortable used one-handed. I've already ruled out the X on specs alone. No way my hands fit that 4.7" screen.
Hello, I decided to go for the One S (black, S4) after my Incredible S more or less gave up, and my work phone One V is just to poor to use daily.
My first impressions:
Amazingly fast, no lag anywhere. A big upgrade from both One V and Incredible S.
Size and design is beautiful, prettiest phone I ever saw.
I find it hard to use with one hand. It is a little too slippery.
The screen is only average, especially with text. I feel this is mainly due to the low resolution.
I was torn between the One S and One X, but decided the One X to be too large, although I much prefered its screen.
Now I think I might as well have bought the One X, if I am going to use 2 hands with the One S.
Of course I could get a slim skin or case for better grip. Any recommendations?
Or maybe I will just adapt to it after a while?
Overall it is a fantastic phone, just let down a little by one hand ergonomics and the screen.
Check out this one:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251047982451
In my view, this is the best available. It is like a second skin for your One S and it's really handy so it is not slippery any more!

There's lots of choice in slim hard shell cases out there, spend some time browsing and you'll probably find something you like. Failing that a clear full body skin by Zagg or another maker might suit you.
Yea I already looked at Diztronic and Ghost Armor.
They look nice but I am not a fan of cases and skins.
I will use the phone a little more first, to see if I really need it.
you need from the reason the aluminum is soft and every drop will leave a mark for good.
ive got the Case Mate Tough Case my phone would be a smashed wreck if it wasn't for this case, seriously buy a decent case youll be glad you did

I have mine for over 6 months, always without case or skin. At first I found it a bit unwieldy. You will probably get used to the size and shape over time and start automatically gripping it right.
Personally never had a problem with the screen, coming from a Desire [3.7"WVGA], but it's a fact that the OneS [4.3"qHD] has lower resolution that the OneX and pentile matrix at that. It's very bright and saturated tho..
Bought the Htc genuine 742 transparent one. It's the thinnest and invisibile I saw. The best. Look at the Skullcandy too.

Yes, the major drawback on One S is the display quality. While AMOLED performs very well on watching movies because of vivid colour/high contrast/pure black but the low resolution(QHD) isn't good for text reading.
Well, I like my One S because it's an one-hand device, light weight and slim. If you want to use a two-hand one, you should get a HTC Droid DNA instead.
If you really need an one-hand with 720p display, go for Sony Xperia V.
The xperia phones dont really suit me.
Anyway after some more use I am really liking my One S. Such a snappy phone. Camera is top notch too. And the size is great for typing in landscape.
Just tried a friends Note, that thing is huge, and seems slower.
There is more to screens than just what res. is used.
I rather have the qHD SAMOLED display over a TFT 720P screen any day of the week.
Personally I think the screens used for sony xperia devices look pretty poor overall.
What the one S display lacks in terms of sharpness/clarity, it makes up for having the best calibration (for SAMOLED) settings so colours aren't too saturated like the GS 2 and not too dull like the Galaxy nexus screen, whites are the best I have seen on a SAMOLED screen and the outdoor view-ability in sunshine is superb. Screen is sharp enough and text looks fine, obviously when next to a LCD based screen it won't look as good, that is mainly due to the pixel arrangement, pentile VS RGB.
Anandtech sum the screen of the S up well:

Well, I very love my One S simply because of size, durable and amazing camera like you but the low resolution really make me sad. If HTC next year going to release an One S like model(I want 4.3" with light weight) with upgraded display, probably I will get it.
Note I and Note II got a really big different on speed. Note I is running A9 dual core with 1GB ram while Note II got A9 quad core plus 2GB ram. Pretty much a double speed on Note II.

I got a Sony Xperia S before One S, got much sharper text , I sold it because cpu slow and hot and camera suck at really slow speed.
Well, this is well-know just a matter of taste while some guys like amoled and some others prefer TFT/IPS. They both have pros and cons.
But the question here isn't related to panel, it's all about the resolution things. If you use a 720P amoled for text reading, it will still outperformed our QHD.
I have had this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rugged-Rubb...-Hard-Case-Cover-Skin-cellphone-/170876744327 I think its great but maybe a little large. The price has gone down 46 cents in the last 4 months too.
It amuses me how people ***** and moan about screen res qhd vs tft etc etc etc.
I think the screen is great.
1) I can see the text clearly.
2) I can see screen in daylight.
You might as well go around comparing everything to anything else, this dog is better than this one - this pair of crotchless panties is better than that pair - my **** is better than your **** and so I could carry on but seriously people you knew what you were buying and so what if one screen is supposedly better than another. If you dont like it sell it and buy something else just please shut up moaning!

I just wanted to know why you guys chose the One S rather than the One X?
I've already got the One S so I don't need convincing. For me, it was the smaller form factor that sealed the deal.
Better phone overall in my eyes.
The main reasons for me:
- aluminium uni-body
- better audio
- much better battery life
- better CPU chipset (tegra 3 has no right to be used in a phone that is suppose to be high end) in a number of things, especially the performance area
- thinner, overall smaller dimensions
- lighter
- aluminum unibody instead of plastic
- Snapdragon S4 is better than Tegra 3 (if you get the Tegra 3 One X)
It's ironic because the marketing had the two backwards. The One S should have been made bigger (4.7") and called the One X. The One X should have been made smaller (4.3") and called the One S. People are always surprised when I say S is better than X, but it's quite obvious why the S is better than the X when you compare the two side by side, feature by feature.
- my carrier didnt offer One X
- I prefer the size of the One S
I got it for the smaller form factor. I like being able to operate my phone with one hand without having to stretch my thumb to get to the other end of the screen.
i went with one s because I am on TMo. I actually like almost everything about One S except maybe wishing that the screen can be a tad bigger an higher res. NFC is cool but I don't use it that much.
Overall, One S is the same as One X (talking about the Sapdragon version) but I like One S's overal design and build quality. I think HTC shuld've made One X with One S design then it would have been a great phone.
I got my S because it was cheaper lol
I wouldnt mind a bigger screen, but the screen on the S is big enough. I got tablet(s) for big screens ;p (none of them fits in my pocket though )
The lack of SD card slot kinda bugs me a bit though, even though I dont really need it.
I havnt really tested the S to the max yet, but so far Im quite happy with it. I dont have to wait half an hour for the phone to unlock like on my Blade
One thing Ive noticed so far though, its PAINFULLY slow when listing content through ADB (using the browser in my Quick ADB Pusher).
Even the blade is faster :s Might be a rom/kernel issue though, Im still on stock on the S.
For me it hits the sweet spot between quality, and materials and raw power. Amazing phone.
I was really undecided what should I upgrade from my Defy but I had decided to be the One S rather than the One X for quite some reasons, such as:
- Amoled Screen
- Better and more efficient SoC
- Better battery life due to the above
- Screen size hits the sweet spot
- Thinness and the Micro Arc Oxidation back, might seem like a gimmick but it makes it feel premium
- Better Wifi and Celular radio
The only thing I honestly wish it had is NFC
Well, the One XL is basically the One X version of this, and I thought that should've been the global flagship instead of just the LTE carrier device.
Because a proper 4" didn't exists, it was either this or Xperia S, battery life tipped in htc's favour.
I didn't want to go larger than 4" but 4.3 is okay, i can live with it, but it's just on the edge of being too big. Like if you want to go back to previous screen, with 4.3 your thumb can barely make it, one x and sg3 owners can't, they need both hands.
That's why one x and sg3 didn't have any interest.
One XL is great, but I like the size of the One S more. The screen is much nicer on the One XL. If the One S came with a XL screen I wouldn't have to own both.

There are just a couple of phones, that get more battery life.
20-25 hours and 4-5 hours screen on (custom kernel for sure) are epic.

You can probably mod it to get a bigger battery from the One X, saw a thread on it.
Yeah for me it was pretty much the size and form factor that appealed to me. I feel like the one x and s3 and all that other stuff is kinda too bulky for me personally.

I've been using an HTC One X from AT&T since last summer on Scott's various CleanROMs and have really enjoyed the phone. It was excellent. Then, the HTC One was announced. I was immediately envious and having already used my upgrade, I knew it would be a long time before I had one.
A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to SiriusXM on my HTC One X via LG's bluetooth headset and I was just having a grand time until I pulled the phone from my pocket to notice that the screen was no longer lighting up. It was responsive, the phone worked, touch worked, but you couldn't see anything. AT&T replaced it under warranty and I had a brand new HTC One X on the 3.18 unhackablefornow update.
I couldn't live like that. I tried. I spent a week hating my phone, the very hardware I'd loved for so long.
After the wife got sick of me complaining, I got the demand to go buy whatever I wanted if I'd just stop complaining. I got the HTC One Dev Edition and have had a couple of days with it. It's really nice, feels great in hand, the front speakers sound great, Blinkfeed is annoying, but the rest is fine. The 64gb is really the only thing that is dramatically different though. The IR remote is sort of cool I suppose, but nothing that I'll probably use with any real frequency. I like that the USB hole is in the bottom now too instead of hanging out the side so awkwardly.
The point of all this? For those with your HTC One Xes that are just rocking along and doing exactly what you like, there's hardly a reason to "upgrade". I like certainly like the beveled screen on the One X more--the One has a raised edge, so exactly the opposite of how smooth and nice the One X is. The aluminum case is sure slick looking and feels nice, but I like the rubberized plastic on the One X. It sits nicer on your lap/leg/dash/sofa/etc. too. And for some reason, the damn on/off button is moved to the other side of the phone. I'll get used to that I suppose, but why? It was in a fine spot before on the previous generation, why move it?
Anyway, I'm certainly not trying to bash HTC. Both phones are excellent and w/ the 64gb, it's sort of the phone I've always looked forward to owning so my whole music collection could be at my finger tips. If you're on the fence though, there's not a lot of reason to ditch that reliable device we've all loved over the past year. Enjoy it and wait for the next thing and buy it when you're due for an upgrade, not for $650.
I hope that helps some of you that were drooling every time the thing came on the TV like I was.
Hopefully there will be an exploit for the One X on 3.18 one of these days and I'll turn the new One X into a great little back up phone/tablet.

I hate to say it, but I have to agree, having now owned both. I just walked into an AT&T store to check it out in person several days before upgrading, and after flipping through the UI, I was not 100% impressed with it compared to the One X. I mean, sure, the specs are an improvement by comparison and it's something that I'm happy with purchasing, but if my HOX wasn't broken and/or I wasn't able to get an upgrade, I would have been ok with saving my money.
I really like the build quality. I don't have any of the crazy gaps people are talking about. It feels nice, looks nice, and sounds great.
What I don't like compared to the HOX is Sense 5. I really thought it was going to be better than Sense 4+ but it's not. I haven't rooted/unlocked it, and have no immediate plans to, but I hate how I can't edit the icons on the dock. Also, the dock follows you into the app tray. That SUCKS. Blink feed is annoying and you can't disable it...only change your homescreen to another tile. I also find that I like the capacitive buttons on the HOX way better. Half the time, they don't light up on the One and aren't that sensitive. And, what's the deal with HTC and hating capacitive buttons?! THe Inspire 4G had 4 buttons, the HOX had 3, and now the One has 2! Pretty soon, we'll only have "One." (See what I did there ) One final thing that seems annoying is for me, at least, when the display is on Auto Brightness, I seen to experience a weird flicker on the display. I don't know if it's just me, my particular phone, or what, but it is annoying.
If you need to have the latest and greatest, then stop reading this pointless drivel and go buy one. Otherwise, root and rom on with your HOX.
Of course, these are just my 2 cents. I could be wrong.
Thanks! Ive been on the fence, but don't have an upgrade. this makes me feel a little better
the biggest difference is
battery life and speakers
- both have amazing screen (the htc one seems to have better whites imo, and more a bit more color, and its a bit sharper, but the one x is a bit brighter and has the floating screen effect that the one sadly doesnt have)
- both are snappy (htc one, a bit faster)
cameras - both plus and negatives, i would say HTC ONE (overall), htc one x takes nice images in sunlight though
but yeah, the speaker on the one x is a disgrace, its weird how they went from worst speaker to best speakers lol
Just placed my order for the One on T-mobile. My One XL needs a new mainboard so I guess it's just going to be a nice paperweight for the time being.
I'm really curious to see how well I like it. I'll get it on Tuesday. I only played around with the display model at bestbuy but it was locked up tighter than fort knox.. You couldn't even swipe over the screen because it had a security lock covering the whole ting.
Which one to grab!
I have ordered One XL last week after lots of hesitation between it and the One, and this review from someone who owns both kinda support my choice, thanks
I have played with both devices in store, of course studied specs/hardware of both and worked out what my needs are and what I can/can't live with. I never buy phones on contracts so cost is an important factor here. My personal choice is based mainly on following:
ONE:
Pros: design, battery, cpu
Cons: the worst (for me) is the 2 buttons-logo combination instead for the usual and more reasonable 3 buttons, I can't get pass this for a $$$ flagship. Expensive compared to my other option, poor DIY-repairability which is important for me (regardless of warranty status).
ONE XL:
Pros: design, has 3 capacitive buttons, good deals for sim-free or pay as you go with available cheap carrier unlocking (Europe), much better DIY-repairability.
Cons: battery but can be changed to HOX+ battery 2100 mAh.
Cheers!
I've played with the (white) One and the S4 in the store. I hated the fact that the one is longer and somewhat bigger than the HOX. Although I have 2 available upgrades on my family plan, both att unlimited data grandfathered, I left the store without a new device. They didn't have any black ones at the time, I'll go back again to check that one out... Otherwise don't feel like upgrading.

I own both phones, and you can edit the apps in the dock, you just have to do exactly what you said above... go to the app tray and you can edit the apps in the dock from there (probably why the dock follows you to the app tray )

Hmm.. How about that! Thanks!
I own both phones. I've had the One XL since launch day (1 year, 9 days ago) and I bought the One a couple of days ago as a replacement. Perhaps I can shed some light on the differences between the two phones for those of you who are considering one of the two. Sorry for the long post, but I felt I should be thorough.
HTC One vs HTC One XL Comparison
This is just a strict comparison about random aspects of the two phones... There isn't really any order to it; it's more of just a long rant about the differences. I'll start off the comparison in my favorite way - looking at what's wrong with the new device.
Cons of the HTC One:
Physical Design: Since the plastic sides of the silver phone is white, the whole aluminum body looks white if you give it a quick glance. I hate white phones with a passion but aluminum is my favorite color so it's a trade off for me. Of course, this is a personal preference and will vary depending on the user. Other items regarding the physical layout of the phone include the size. The One is the same width as the One XL but it is slightly longer. If you were to take the One XL and add on a second row of capacitive buttons they would be the same size. Personally, I feel that the One's "aspect ratio" is better, but the phone is kind of long for my tastes. The iPhone 5 is a better size in my opinion, but again, this is just personal preference. Another thing that may or may not be of concern to you depending on whether you use a case is how easily the phone slips into your pocket. The One has sharp edges (similar to a macbook) so it doesn't slip into your pocket as easily. Similarly, since the edges are all made out of aluminum the phone will dent if you drop it on a hard surface. (So don't drop it)
Capacative Buttons: The One only has 2 capacitive buttons compared to the 3 that the One XL has which is super annoying. HTC did this to comply with Google's design guidelines but other manufacturers *cough* Samsung *cough* have ignored this suggestion. They should have made the HTC logo a capacitive button as well. The touch pad doesn't fully extend that far off the screen, so even with a custom kernel the HTC logo only works "sometimes" as a button. I believe this is an engineering problem that could be attributed to AT&T. The HTC logo is not clear and it does not light up; it is painted on underneath the screen - the same as the logo at the top of the One XL's screen - in metallic lettering. If they had put a capacitive sensor above the logo it would constantly interfere with the metallic paint (This is my personal theory, but I think it's sound).
Another disadvantage of the One is the software isn't as mature as the One XL. The One XL is at the peak of it's development cycle; there are very few bugs and everything has been optimized. The One is new to the game and we're still waiting for HTC to release new kernel sources along with everything else. Developers are still trying to figure out how to work with the phone. The developer of the ROM I use, for instance, doesn't even own the phone yet!
Carrier Loyalty: As with the One XL, AT&T gets special privileges. AT&T is the only carrier who gets a black HTC One. They're also the only carrier who offers a 64GB version (The Developer Edition also has a 64GB version but it is only offered in silver).
Pros of the HTC One:
The HTC One isn't all bad though, not by a long shot. It has many numerous advantages over the One XL.
3rd Party Support: One of the best things about the One is that the phone is standardized among all carriers. You can buy a case in the Sprint store and it will work on your T-Mobile One. Additionally, all GSM phones (International, AT&T, T-Mobile, Developer Edition) can flash the same ROMs without having to worry about bricking the device. In many ROMs you just select what version you'd like your phone to be optimized for. This helps with development immensely! I'm so glad HTC did this. Supposedly the One will also be HTC's only flagship phone for this year, so you don't have to worry about an HTC One+ coming out in 4 months. I'm also very pleased to see that every carrier has put out advertisements for the One. I've seen many of them all over TV and even some in movie theaters. This is where HTC messed up last year. Unless the individual phone sells well 3rd parties won't make accessories for it.
The only real difference between the GSM variants is that the T-Mobile version includes more radio bands. Thus, if you want to get the most versatile version like me, get the T-Mobile version. It's also unbranded so it has no logos (aside from the "beatsaudio" logo on the back which the One XL also has)!
Physical Construction: The HTC One feels very solid in your hand thanks to the "zero-gap" construction. This means that the entire back/sides of the phone are all one piece. The plastic accents are all bonded to the aluminum backing, so it is similar to the One XL in that regard. Because the aluminum and plastic is CNC'd out in one piece you can consider it as a single unit; you will never feel the plastic injections with your finger unless you have a defective unit. It's somewhat similar to the unibody design of the One XL minus the speaker grills which are separate pieces - you can feel the transition between those pieces and the screen. This is normal.
Audio and Video Recording: The recording quality of the One is indisputable. It is simply superb. You can record video at a night club and actually enjoy the music and video afterwards. The microphone is insanely good. The video camera is designed to excel under low light conditions. One consequence of this is that the One's camera is only 4MP (slightly higher than 1080p) instead if the XL's 8MP. This means that the camera is great for what most people will use it for, but unfortunately I can no longer carry around my phone as a dedicated camera replacement (for vacations and things where I want a little better picture quality).
Performance: The One is FAST! Using 3DMark's new application you can test the gaming performance among various platforms. The HTC One GPU is actually more powerful than a nVidia 7900GS videocard (think precursor to the 8800GT)! I actually had one of those in my gaming PC a couple of years ago. To me this is insane. To think that my phone is more powerful than the higher-end gaming PC I built in 2006 (in some tests).
Battery Life: The battery life in the One is pretty good. I'm getting around 4.5 hours of on-screen time but I'm still tuning the phone. I've only had it for 3 days. The battery isn't even settled yet. I'm sure in 2 weeks I'll be seeing 7+ hours on-screen time once I get everything sorted out.
IR Remote: One small thing that no one thinks of is the HTC One's IR blaster integrated into the One's power button. You can now control all of your home theater equipment using your phone. This is very handy for people like me who always find themselves on the couch with their phone in their hand but don't want to take the time to search for the remote. HTC even includes a little TV guide app that lets you select a specific show and it will automatically change the channel for you. I like this!
Fixes from other Phones: The HTC One's notification LED is fixed from the One XL. It is bright and you can actually see it from all angles. The HTC One XL has an almost useless notification LED and can only be viewed when looking from the phone straight on. I once had a coworker stare at my One XL for 2 minutes before he asked me whether something was blinking. He thought it was but he wasn't entirely sure. The One has solved this very annoying problem.
Storage Space: The One has much more storage space than the One XL. The 32GB version has about 25GB of usable space where as the 16GB One XL only has about 9GB. This is nice if you're thinking about replacing an MP3 player or like to have mobile videos stored locally.
This is all I can stand to type for now. I'm sure I forgot stuff but I'll have to wait until I'm at a computer to finish the comparison. If you liked the review click thanks please.

I was in the unique position that I needed to switch to T-Mobile so I got it from their online store. After taxes it came out to $144 up front, then I pay for the rest of the phone $20 a month for... Idk, 24 months I think. Regardless of how much you spend up front, the phone itself is $600. Early termination fees on the HOXL with AT&T is at least $205 if you bought the phone when it came out.

If i'm busy at work (read: not procrastinating on my phone all day), it's lasted me two days with about 30% left. A lot better than my One XL.
I have both the One X and the One and in my opinion the One is much better than the One X. I still love both phones but the One is much more responsive, little to no hiccups at all unlike my One X, sense 5 is so much better than sense 4, and the speakers are amazing. Also battery life is much better on the one. I'm still on stock AT&T on my One and it's much snappier and more responsive than my One X ever was on cleanrom or viperxl.

Looking to join you guys soon! I think I've just about pushed my one x as far as it'll go and I'm ready to step it up a bit
Ugh, it is soooo tempting to get the One, especially with T-Mobile getting rid of the 2-year crap... now just gotta find a new job.
I was just interested in peoples opinion of this. I still have the 2013 Moto X after owning a few Samsung devices; Moto X 2013 has/had its flaws, but it does fit perfectly on the hand. I thought the X series was all about being a 'practical' device, but this no longer seems to be the case. Was I wrong in holding this view?
"practical" is subjective.
People prefer the larger screen size of the phablet and its quite a minority (though vocal) that are complaining about it. The general trend is phablets are bringing in money. People want the larger screen size and as long as the device is shaped well so that it fits well enough into hands and isn't uncomfortable for the majority, then it makes money.
It's kind of funny because I came from a moto x2013 and then went to a nexus 6. I constantly switch between the two because i like the screen size of the nexus 6 but i love the moto features. The new moto x 2015 is the merging of the two that's just about perfect for me.

Its all personal preference and i suppose physical size. There are lots of people who are physically larger than average and can easily hold a phablet in one hand but just dont like the size of them.
Then you have under average sized guys who own phablets even though they cannot comfortably use them....they just like em.
Its all over the place lol. I myself am of average size for a male, 5ft 11 or so and about 200lbs and i i think anything under 5.5 " screen size is worthless and way to small. I wish the X was going to be 6" like my nexus honestly.
Personal preference is all it is with perhaps a bit of practicality thrown in.
Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
I think the note 4 is a great manageable size. I thought the nexus 6 was a little large but not obscene. I've went back to the 2013 x and managed fine with that too. I think Ive realized anything between 4.7 - 5.9 is fine with me as long as the rest of the phone hits the right notes.

I'm with you about anything under 5.5 being worthless. I'm 6'1 285
I'm 6'1" with long fingers, and I hate large phones. So size of the person is not always an indicator of preference.
I want a phone that fits in my front pocket correctly, and in my cup holder in my car when driving. Basically that means about 5.2" max.

And the x style is narrower than nexus 6, so should be perfect. I hope the next nexus is similar dimensions.
Its all personal preference and i prefer the larger screen size.
You people make no sense. There are 5.2" devices out that that got huge bezels and final result is they feel bigger than 5.7" moto.
My take on the larger phone size is that people are using their phones in lieu of a desktop. More portable than a laptop & one device that can do a lot more than several unique stand alone devices. Plus the phone is with me more than my home desktop.
I'd rather see another 5.2" or 5.5" Moto X, but sometimes my current moto x 2014 feels a bit "small" in hand. I guess it's usable screen space that matters.

Obviously no one can be right or wrong on an issue of opinion, but I definitely agree with you. I don't like things in my pockets, so I prefer my phone be as small as possible while still being comfortable to read. Right now I'm of the opinion that 5" is the perfect screen size, but as bezels get smaller, that could change my mind. I think the Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4 are about as big as I can enjoy. That being said, I'll probably be buying a Pure because it is the best phone with an SD card slot. Maybe I'll get used to that mammoth?

This guy knows what up. I hadn't even thought about the cupholder... I always take my phone out and put it there. I hope the X will fit there.
Initially I did think it has become too big. I like the size of my nexus 5. Despite being 6'3 with monkey arms, I have quite stubby fingers and just barely reach all corners of my n5 one-handed.
Doing some quick gsm arena research, I have found that the pure/style is quite similar in size to the g4. They have almost identical width, but the pure is abt 5 mm taller. The thickness is misleading because it is curved.
Pending battery life reviews, this might be my next phone
I think someone stated it already. Bezel size of older phones make it almost the same size. I would not consider this phablet size. http://www.gizmag.com/moto-x-style-pure-edition-vs-2014-moto-x-comparison/38730/ . Very minimal size difference. Curvature makes it seem thinker. http://www.gizmag.com/galaxy-s6-vs-moto-x-pure-edition-comparison/38737/ again its 10mm longer but still same width than popular Samsung S6 (why popular I don't know). So Phablet its not in my opinion. So with that if you think its to big, please also avoid whoppers in the future.

I know there are grey areas, but IMO, 3"x6" or greater = phablet. There is about a quarter inch different in width between the X and the S6, which is not insignificant. It is also 60% thicker* and 25% heavier. I still like the stock android option and SD card, so I'll be getting one, but if the S6 had an SD card, I'd be buying one of those and rooting.
*yes, I know it is curved, but it will still feel thick and won't fit in my cell phone mount for my car (wife's Nexus 6 fit width-wise, but was too deep). I don't usually use the mount, but it's nice when I'm using it for navigation.
I have read through these comments and honestly, I am surprised by what people are saying here... there is an overwhelming trend prefering 5" and 5" + phones! Not what I was expecting.

Its funny because last year I was put off the Nexus 6 because of its size. Somehow this year I want the Moto X Style which is roughly the same size yet I'm not put off by its size at all. I guess all phones are going this way and bit by bit I have just accepted it.

My Nexus 6 fits in my cup holder, and I doubt it's larger than normal (2008 Avalanche). It also fits in my pockets. How can a larger phone not properly fit, I cannot imagine how.
