HTC One V vs. HTC Desire S

Ok, it has virtually the same specs. Less RAM though??
Good news, we can get a ROM port from it and enjoy the new Sense 4.0
Will you say its a successor to our phone or not?

Advantages over Desire S
1) Actually, the One V has a better screen than us.
Ours is SLCD, this is SLCD2.
According to Paul obrien, it is so amazing, it makes his Galaxy Nexus look 10 years old!
Bloody hell, that says a lot!
2) it also has a better camera, it has a wider lens..
3) larger battery - 1500mah compared to our 1450mah.
Although, the SLCD2 May drain more battery

Definitly NOT, the ONE S is the successor of our DS.
The ONE V is just the ugly successor of the Legend.

Thanks for the input mate
Yeah, I think this is meant to be the successor to the Legend/Wildfire S.
It has near the same specs as us. This is considered a low-end phone. It will be priced around the same margin as the current Wildfire S. This means our phone is now low-end!!
Can you imagine, when the DHD was released, it was a top of thre range high end phone - ann android lovers dream, but now the specs of the DHD are in a low end phone!
IMO, it looks like a sexy device!

The One V will have Sense 3.6 and not Sense 4.0 as One X and One S. This is according to GSMArena.

This appears to be an error from GSMArena as specs from htc's own website for One V show Sense 4.0 on it http://www.htc.com/au/smartphones/htc-one-v/#specs
It also shows that the phone does have a microSD expansion slot as read reader comments from a review site being critical of the phone for not having one

Yes, its still Sense 4 but with less animations (imo not a bad thing).
From what Ive seen on the videos so far, the cube animation when switching homescreens and the new coverflow taskmanager("recent apps") are missing.

As said before, its very similar to our DS, i dont see a reason to upgrade (i will wait one more year).
it have some specs that are a little better (screen, camera), but other are worth (storage, ram, size,battery).
but we can port roms, and get better support for next year
about the new task manager, i liked it, sad it is missing

we have more ram. if we get kernel 3.0 then i say desire s is much better then this one.

What none of you seem to have noticed... is that the One V doesn't have a front facing camera! No 3G video calling on your One V sir!
Also, HTC seems to have dropped the Search key from the entire lineup of the "One" series phones (only three buttons now)... One of the reasons i like my phone is because of that damn button.. it's just too frigging convenient!
So the DS still kicks its ass.
But seriously... is HTC nuts? No front camera? Who does that in today's world man?!

Some things missing, but a direct WVGA port, with no resizing? Makes me smile inside.
Personally, the One S just went right to the top of my list, but still a long time away, when it drops price.

Thanks dan. But i think he just got the resolution part wrong, not the device. (wouldn't want to upgrade to a device without a front camera...)
No front camera then (One V)... so again, driver issues with that one (will have to kang it over from elsewhere).
And if he was talking about the One V, it is hardly worth considering as your next device. We have much more going for the DS... as i posted above. If considering an upgrade, at least think of the One S, or the One X (if you manage to rob a bank!!)

I meant that a direct port of the One V will be way easier than from the other models, due to the hardware similarity (apart from the non-existing FFC).
The One S went to the top of my to buy list, somewhere down the road.

Ahhh, there you go. Confusion cleared.
I'll wait till i can afford the One X though. Might as well splurge on the flagship (don't have any spare cash left anyway, after recently acquiring the Canon 550D, plus a new DS for the wife)

Read the post carefully.
The confusion was regarding the screen resolution on the One S.
I do not know you well enough to gauge your taste in devices, so cool it.

Happy you chose the One X over the Samsung Galaxy S3?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...l-packs-a-4-8-inch-720p-super-amoled-display/
So, the S3 has been revealed and in my Opinion it is U-g-l-y
For that reason alone I feel More confident in having chose the One X.
The 'Eye tracking feature' seems interesting, but gimmicky, other than that, not a lot stands out for me.
what are your opinions?

Was happy before announcement. Still happy now

I'm happy with my HOX, I don't want a S3 ...
The only big con with the X is the battery life which might be better with the S3...

After seeing AC hands on with it. I am glad I got the HOX. TW looked so dated on GS3. Too glossy. Time to pass the next nexus to someone else Google. Back to HTC or give Sony a Shot?

S3 is one UGLY phone. Lol and a pentile matrix screen.
HTC won this year. One X all the way!

Yes it was a good decision to go for One X. Although the removable and higher capacity battery and microSD card slot is a big plus for GS3.

I'm very happy about my HTC One X, I bought it a week ago and everyone was like "wait for the S3 cause it will be better", but out of confidence, I didn't think Samsung is able to make a device as beautifully crafted (In terms of both UI and design) device that's able to deliver a better user experience.
Those were my impressions before the announcement, after the announcement, my One X has a better design, a better camera, a better screen, a better UI. S3 might overtake it in areas like a barometer, battery, microSD and a slightly better processor, but my HTC takes all the specs that are mostly important for me.

I saw this one in person because the person originaly said he was selling a global One X.
The back cover comes off and you can change batteries. Not being familiar with the One S, I didn't think to scrutinize it, but I remember seeing the charging port and an micro HDMI port on the left side of the phone.
It has 3 capacitive buttons like the newer HTCs. No branding on the front. Also, the front camera is not in the bezel next to the speaker, but in the glass. The speakerphone speaker is not at the bottom on the back like the One S pictures I've seen.
Is it a fake?

The guy just sent me a picture of the settings.

It doesnt even look like a One S. The LED flash is on the wrong side as well, the back just doesnt look right. The picture shows the model being HTC Endeavor which was the rumored name of the HTC One X. My guess is that it probably is a fake.

This is Beats headphones isn't it ? So it definitely can't be a One S. And the menu doesn't look like Sense 4...

Also there shouldn't even be a battery that comes with it because you cannot replace of it because of the unibody build HTC designed. A big giveaway that its fake. Nice to make people aware of where they buy their stuff from

Oh look, it supports microSD cards

Amusing to know that there are fakes around, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do to prevent someone from being duped into buying this.

Ok, so i have had the AT&T Galaxy S3 for a couple weeks now and its not wowing me like i was expecting and been eyeballing the AT&T HTC One X and not sure on getting that next and selling the S3. So what are your opinions on whats a better device and why its the better device.

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.

Choosing between the One S and Samsung Blaze

I've searched far and wide but it doesn't seem there are any proper comparisons between these two phones. I'd like to hear from those who have used both.
I have both phones new in front of me (ebay). The HTC one S wins in the pretty contest by a longshot. Metal body > plastic/rubber.
But on the flipside, the one S seems a bit too large (screenwise) to comfortably type with one hand and pull down the notification bar. The blaze is much easier to handle.
So besides the casing quality, is there a reason the One S is better? The audio and video sound/look roughly the same when I play youtube videos concurrently. Will I get used to the slippery tall body? Will a giztronic case help with the hand-hold, or does that just make it wider?
After rooting/romming, the blaze has reported to last 1.5 days on battery. I've heard the one s is better, but how much?
Thanks!
EDIT: made thread title duller.

I'd like to say one thing based on your title "Convince me to keep the One S over the samsung Blaze". It's not a sales job. If you don't want the One S, then you are free to choose so. It's not like we care if you get it or not.
HTC > Samsung when it comes to material/design.
Watch reviews on both phones. If you ask about a One S in the One S forum, of course people will tell you to get it.
Overall, you choose. Not our job to convince you.

Not being negative. Trying to show you that your title throws people off. If you reworded it as "Help choosing between a One S or Samsung Blaze", then that would be another story. Saying "Convince me" makes you seem entitled and that we should care whether you stay or leave.

The processor on the one s is also better, screen us higher res and the camera is better. U am not sure if the blaze runs ics but one s should have ics and hopefully soon jelyly hean.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

The One S got both ICS and JB, its had ICS for a very long time. JB is still quite new though.
Then we got AOSP roms which brings it up to JB 4.2 if you want.
As for the OP's question... Im not even gonna bother answering that, its just pointless.
Buy whatever you want - no one can tell you what to buy. And since this is the S forum, obviously the majority of us favors the S over any other device.

If you are buying htc one s be careful and buy S4 version of it.

I thought the same thing about the screen and one hand with the One S. After like a week or two, it feels perfect. Not big at all, and very comfortable to type on 1 hand. No issues pulling notification bar down either.
If I were you, I'd go with the One S.
That's my 2 cents.

After using the one s a couple days, I agree. I'm keeping the one s.
What did it in for me was the sound quality with headphones.
The blaze has the mediocre speaker and headphone quality I've come to accept from smartphones. The One S's speaker is only marginally better, but with headphones... fantastic! I get no background static or "white noise" with my high quality IEMs. I can use Tune-in, Pandora, etc.. over my MP3 player without a trade off in sound quality.
That was the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks Syntax for playing along with my "pointless" thread.
EDIT: One knock on the One S, the screen is much more vulnerable to small scratches from phantom sources. My phone went from mint to well used in only a couple hours of using my finger.

do you have sand paper for fingers?
I have maybe 3 very minor scratches that you can only see with the screen off and turning the phone to try and find them, and i've owned it over 5 months without a screen protector...
I had the same choice with T-Mobile and I would be lost without my One S... Much better phone
Go buy a zagg screen protector and you wont have to worry about scratches or anything within reason messing up your screen.:good:
and this is not a pointless thread, its a valid question
