Fellow Legend / ex-Legend users, my 2-year contract is coming to an ending, what phone are you using or eyeing now?
Highly depends on you - what your budget is, what phone choices u have, and where your from what carriers offer what. For instance the HTC Rezound is only for the Verizon network. If u want to carry on using HTC the Rezound wouldn't be a bad choice, HTC Sensation XL would be a good handset.
For me after realising most HTC phones get succeeded after 120 days from this chart:
http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/23/2651347/a-good-smartphone-comes-but-once-a-year
I went and bought an iPhone 4. But if I was to stay on Android, I'd specifically look at the Galaxy Nexus to get the plain, stock android experience and OS updates.
HTC Edge
Since here in Belgium there is almost no real advantage in using a contract (except for iPhones) I'm buying myself an Nexus S for 280€, it just got a official update to ics 4.0 and is still a fast phone
Sensation.
Sent from my awesome HTC Legend.
When I decided to get a new phone, I wanted to stick with HTC and get a Sensation, but due to it's limited availability here in Belgium at the time I went with a Galaxy S2. Worked out very well; Samsung doesn't quite have the quality feel of HTC's but it makes up in performance.
maksimilian is rite !!!
Yep ! I got a sensation for my sexond htc eventhough my 2 year plan hasnt ended yet ! I gotta say sensation is probably the most underated dualcore device ever ! Its so fast and capable if doimg so much with ADRHD by mike
HTC Sensation for sure mate

Just ordered the Galaxy Nexus. Close call between that and one of the Sensation variants
Desire S is the true succesor to the legend
Unibody design etc in a logical upgrade.
But you may be looking for more powerful phones.
I defected from the Legend to the Galaxy S2. To be honest, had just got tired of HTC Sense and wanted a change. Absolutely love the S2. And also absolutely loved rooting and then playing around with other installs on the Legend!
Only obstacle I have ahead of me is replacing the button bar beneath the screen. Have a reconditioned membrane on the way - dreading the actual fitting though!

I was hoping a Canadian carrier would pick up the HTC Desire S.
I even contemplated bringing in one from AU Telstra. But the $$$ didn't make sense for the specs.
The next handset that may tickle the fancy of HTC Legend owners is the HTC Ville. 4.3" screen but much thinner, and unibody still.

Telstra runs HSDPA 850 and their version of the HTC Desire S (S510B) is compatible with Canadian 3G.
Personally, i'm going for the next HTC or Samsung with a 3.7-4 inch screen, dual or quadcore processor or even beyond, with atleast a gig of ram
currently i have a Desire Z.
Defy+
Since you are owning the legend, you probably like your phone small and reasonably sturdy. In that case I recommend the defy+, very fast (compared with any single-core phone) but much better battery life and significantly smaller than all the highend phones, the screen is not OLED but very decent LCD with pixel density to rival the iphone4 (highest density android i know of), and above all, it's cheap. Probably free or less than 50EUR with a contract. Best value on the market IMHO. My only gripe is the missing front camera.
Samsung S II
After refusing update to 2.3.x and complex rooting procedure I went to SGS II.
ex-Legend user here.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
My VF contract is up soon as well but I can't wait to get shot of it so I've gone for an Xperia Ray.
Great screen - higher PPI than Defy+, density fans
Decent CPU/GPU - same as Xperia Play and Desire S (which my wife has, perfectly fine for most games etc.)
Even smaller than Legend, but with slightly bigger screen
Much better GPS locking, wifi range, network signal retention, battery life etc. from what I've heard
Just as tough - I need it to be pocket proof, my Legend has spent nearly 2 years in my pocket without screen protector and still looks amazing despite kids jumping on me etc.
Confirmed ICS upgrade in a few weeks
I've got in unlocked via CPW on a price match against O2 who are doing it for £200 at the moment - bargain. SIM will be a GiffGiff £10/mo job with unlimited data.
Figure I'll keep it for 6-12 months then sell it on and get a Krait-powered equivalent. Should get most of my £200 back at that point.
Bye bye contracts!
In my eyes the true succesor to the legend is the HTC Sensation
1,2 - 1,5 ghz dual core snapdragon
unibody
htc quality (no ****ty samsung plastic but aluminum casing)
and fast as hell
Had mine but after 2days I got a dead pixel so I send it back, now waiting for my new replacement HTC Sensation
I highly recomend it, only problem it has is battery life but that can be fixed by placing an htc evo3d battery or installing an aosp rom (with no sense)

As much as I agree HTC phones have a distinctive build quality, they're underutilised with the one of the slowest Dual-Core chips on the market.
The younger UGLY brother to the Legend is the HTC Salsa, but the real successor to the HTC Legend is the HTC Desire S.

Hey guys, I'm considering buying this phone but I'd just like to know if there are any outstanding issues or problems you've noticed?
I'm coming from the galaxy s2 (epic touch 4g the sprint version) and while it was a great phone, the GPS on it was absolutely atrocious and until recently it was plagued by a huge loss of signal problem.
If you wouldn't mind, could you compare the s2 and the evo3d for me a bit?
I really appreciate any help!
EDIT: Just a few questions I have off the bat:
Will the evo3d receive the ice cream sandwich update?
How is the overall quality of the phone?
Is battery life at least reasonable, can it get me through the day on light/moderate use?
How is the Sense UI?
Forgive me for asking such basic questions, I'm kind of new to the smartphone world but my friend is a rabid HTC fan and I've always thought they had pretty good design, but have heard the sense ui can be a bit of a drain.

It is in the works. Thought the most recent update would have been it, but it was a removal of CIQ mostly > TrevE, you're the man.
How is the overall quality of the phone?
Nice build. From my experience with Samsung phones, the overall build is flimsy compared to HTC. HTC just seems way more durable, at least to me.
Is battery life at least reasonable, can it get me through the day on light/moderate use?
With any smart phone your gonna take some battery life HP (hit points if your not a nerd) but overall it's good battery life. It all depends on the ROM and kernel you choose though, some don't play nice.
How is the Sense UI?
I personally haven't really given a ish about Sense UI since day one. I make my ROM senseless and use ADW Launcher EX. But If you want to make comparisons, Sense UI is one of the best stock UI's out there IMO.
I've never owned a Samsung phone so I can't truly say how the HTC EVO 3D compares to the Galaxy S2. But from my experience with this phone, it's well worth the purchase. Plus since you're on Sprint, if you don't like it, you can make a return or exchange in 30 days.
Sprints return policy is only 14 days, you get a full refund on returns, if you want to exchange for another phone there is a $ 35 restocking fee.
We got 2 Evo 3D's in June and no issues or complaints so far.
I would take the E4GT over the 3VO, but I like HTC's build quality and dev support. I would just stick with the E4GT until the LTE devices begin rolling out.
If you really care about gps then yes if not id get galaxy nexus when it comes to sprint

LTE plus quad core HTC I *think* is coming as next evo q2 2012 - wait and watch updates from MWC 2012
This week the Evo 3D was available for 269€ in Germany.
Definitely worth it
It's still available here in Slovakia. That's why I bought it.
Odoslané z môjho HTC EVO 3D X515m cez Tapatalk
I've used a friend's ET4G so that should help me with answering these questions.
Will the evo3d receive the ice cream sandwich update?
The Evo 3D will be receiving the official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update in "Q1," which will probably be march/may. You can install an ICS ROM which will probably have stable builds sometime in february/march.
How is the overall quality of the phone?
Compared to the ET4G, it's definitely better. It feels nice and solid while holding it, not plasticky. The quality of the phone is overall amazing. The only bad thing is the screen which doesn't have sharp colors like the ET4G.
Is battery life at least reasonable, can it get me through the day on light/moderate use?
IDK about the battery life on the ET4G, but it definitely gets me through the day without having to plug it in until night. I can tell you that it is a HUGE improvement from the Evo 4G. If you only use the screen for about 2-3 hours a day without heavy activities like games, videos, etc., you should be able to last a day without needing a recharge. Some custom ROMs that you can install will also give noticeable improvements to battery life.
If you want the best battery life, install an AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod or an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.
How is the Sense UI?
It really matters. If you like AOSP (Stock android, like on the nexus S 4G), the ET4G UI is probably much better and for you. If you don't like the ET4G UI, you'll probably like Sense. It's a really different UI which you have to experience to know.
Additional notes
Overall, I'd still stick with the ET4G if I were you. The signal isn't much better on the 3D (1 bar vs 4 bars compared to evo 4G), but the GPS is amazing. I can tell you, that, after using my friend's ET4G, I'd much rather have that than the Evo 3D if the development community there was bigger.
Pros of switching over:
-bigger community
-solid design
-good GPS
-signal might be a little better
-more
Cons:
-loss of amoled screen
-loss of 4.65" screen
-more
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing new ROMs and firmware is much different than samsung, so read the HTC Unlock sticky and its first 3 replies if you want to know how to flash ROMs.
Everyone, thank you so much for your thoughtful posts! I can't tell you how much this has helped me make my decision...I am going to get this phone
Maybe I will put cyanogenmod on it, I have never done anything like this before but we will see!
I'm one of the many guys coming from the evo4g to the 3d, I have had my 3d for a little over a month now. I will say that it feels vastly superior to the 4g off the bat. Much faster with the dualcore, and I feel it has a better overall design. I realize you are coming from the epic 4g touch. I think you will find the 3vo a great phone, its fast and smooth, has a decent amount of development now, and has some great overall features. The camera button is really cool, and while I first though the 3d capability was a gimmick I'm finding it to be very cool. I enjoy watching 3d videos on youtube/etc and playing 3d games. also recently my gf got a 3vo and we like to send 3d pics to each other. Sense is great, I know a lot of people hate on it and that used to be me, but I have seen them make great strides since way back when with my evo4g and do think it provides a delightful user experience.

Where? Lowest price I've found is 299€
The battery life on the EVO 3D with the latest 651.5 build has been awesome. The build quality with HTC phones has always been superior to Samsung IMO. It seems like Samsung can never get their gps issues ironed out. It was a problem with my old moment and it seems like its still a problem for them with the newer phones. Personally i would hold off on getting a new phone until the LTE phones are released but if you can't wait the the 3D is a good choice. The pic shows battery stats with light to moderate usage. Stock battery on latest stock rooted build.

"Media Markt" and "Saturn" had it for 269 €.
The most persistent issue I've seen come into the store with the 3D is screen issues... where it ghost touches things without you doing anything.
But I personally have the phone and never experienced this problem.

Hey everyone! I currently have the EVO 3D, and I was about to switch to the EVO 4G LTE, but then I saw the Samsung Galaxy S3. It looks amazing, but then again, I really like HTC Sense. What's your vote on both of these phones?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
EVO Pros:
Dedicated Camera Button
Kickstand
Available May 18th (Sad, sad, sad.)
SGS3 Pros:
+100mAH size battery
Removable battery
Tossup:
Screen (SuperIPSLCD2 vs Pentile Super AMOLED)
Screen Size (4.7 vs 4.8)
Sense vs Stockwiz
Camera (Better lowlight photos vs newer sensor model)
GPU/Processor (100% same on US variants)
Design (Most would say the EVO is better designed)
No stated release date for Sprint's SGS3 variant.
SGS3 Pros:
S-off
There's no reason to believe the EVO 4G LTE won't get S-off eventually though, I hope.

The SGS3 doesn't have S-Off; that's an HTC only deal. It doesn't even have a bootloader, technically. That's what Odin is for. It's a huge pita for switching between stock and AOSP roms.

He's been trolling around all HTC phones' forums telling people how much "better" the Samsuck Plasticky s3 is. Pathetic.
To the OP: Wait till the S3 comes out to the US, go to the store and try them both. There's no point asking other people's opinions. Doesnt matte which one you pick it will be able to
- make phone calls
- send text messages
- watch videos
- take photos
- surf the internet
- play games
You will be happy.
I don't care if the s3 has quad core a15 lte and 4 gigs of ram that is the ugliest piece of plastic I've ever seen... Just my opinion. And the blue one is purple

It doesn't work at all with odin. You have to have a windows PC or windows running on your mac. I had a problem with a GNEX and had to find a windows pc (one I had buried in storage that barely works) in order to fix that phone. Real pay.
Honestly using a mac for fastboot commands is real easy, but and .exe root, program (like odin), etc will not work on a mac.
That being said...here is what I base my opinion on. I have owed the following phones in the following order. OG Evo-> Evo 3d (disappointment) -> epic 4g touch (cool phone, horrible radios, etc) -> iphone 4s (7 months...great phone honestly, but iOS really got on my nerves) -> GNEX (great stock experience...but the screen and horrible battery life resulted in me re-selling it two weeks later) -> Evo LTE
The epic 4g touch was fast...and I gave it to my fiancee because it she loved the screen, and I got the iphone 4s. Well, the epic always gave us radio/cell signal problems. Sprint even credited my account $50 for it once and promised a fix. That fix never came. About a month back my fiancee was in a bad accident and could not call out to 911 due to no signal bug in the phone. I was pissed...and sprint gave her an upgrade, free of charge and a year and a half early, as a result. She is getting the Evo Lte as well...as soon as wirefly gets it to here. The GS3 may not have this problem...but it is a samsung and they often do, but I am not trying to bash it. I know my fiancee refuses to own a samsung now. I would never go that far....
But the Evo 4g LTE is hands down the best phone I have EVER owned. Better than the epic 4g touch, and it blows away the iphone 4s (which was better than the epic tough in my opinion). The screen is amazing, the radio (signal and 3g speeds) are great. The camera is fantastic (I did my own indepth experiment with the iphone 4s and evo lte..and the evo lte beat the iphone in every category including the camera). The battery life best my iphone 4s, and is what android has need for a long time. This phone has a few minor software bugs, but these will no doubt be fixed. Plus, if you are into roms, etc...this phone will not fail you. Some of the best devs I have ever seen are migrating here...plus the evo community is moving this way. The evo community is a shining example of what you want in a developer community for a phone. What is even better is this...you don't even need to root this phone unless you want to. It is the complete package out of the box.
I made the mistake of buying the galaxy nexus off ebay...and the screen and even more so the battery life made it unsuitable for my needs. Therefore I sold it (recouping the money) and sold the iphone 4s (shipped it today)...and still payed about full upgrade cost for this phone (got it off ebay for 550). I am not one to spend my money like that...I am rather tight (ask my fiancee)...but this was well work the cost. Is the Evo LTE $200 better than the iphone 4s? If you want a simple, iconic phone...then no. But the ability's of android combined with the screen size and quality alone made the Evo LTE worth the cost and more.
I say go get this phone. If you wait for the GS3...it will be great too...but no better than this phone. Plus, there is always something better around the corner. If there is a big advantage IOS has over android, it is the yearly refresh. Eliminates buyer remorse, etc.

Any Samsung phone. They have an interface for Odin, which is really the bootloader, but it's a program you run on a Windows box. There is no actual bootloader on a Samsung smartphone, just the interface for Odin.

Don't have time to Embed, but here's a hands on with the One X+
looking froward to jelly bean for our hox if it runs as smooth as it looks on there
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6348/...official-17-ghz-ap37-tegra-3-64-gb-of-storage
Interestingly X+ and X are both having the same dimensions.
Which get me really wondering if we can use X+ battery instead of ours.
Other things I find interesting is the front camera and glonass support.
Don't know how it would be possible to use the One X+ battery in the One X since the battery is non removable...
The front camera looks more flush with the surface of the phone. Not a bad call, as the recessed front camera on the One X tends to gather dust very easily.
Other than that, not a big fan of the red accents. I like the gun grey color of the One X better than the all-black OX+. Just saying
Featuring a 1.7 GHz quad-core NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 AP37 processor and 64GB of internal storage, the HTC One™ X+ LTE version is up to 67% faster than the HTC One™ X1 LTE, making the HTC One™ X+ the best rated Android phone on the market.
In addition to its increased performance speeds, the HTC One™ X+ introduces extended performance with the inclusion of a 2100 mAh battery, giving you up to 50% (6 hours) more talk time, and longer to browse the web and enjoy your favorite music and videos2.

Why are they comparing it to the One X LTE? I highly doubt if its an LTE compatible phone. Because the original Tegra T30 on the international One X didn't support LTE which is why they switched to Krait for the US model.

Main difference seems to be a 200Mhz bump in clock speeds and better memory bandwidth. Also, the performance figures also seem a bit suspect because the US One X (S4) was faster than the International One X(T30) and based on specs, this (T33) should be marginally faster than the International One X, so no reason why it should be much faster than the One X LTE(S4).
Okay read the anandtech article, its mentioned over there:
The non-LTE One X+ includes the same GSM/EDGE and WCDMA bands as the previous international version (850/900/1900/2100 MHz for WCDMA, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz for GSM/EDGE) and of course the same HSPA+ capabilities since it includes the same Intel XMM6260 baseband. I don't have any word at the moment on what LTE bands will be supported on the One X+ with LTE, but with MDM9215 and possibly WTR1605 we could see more than the One XL. Qualcomm's MSM8960 SoC contains the same IP block that's inside MDM9215 and is still 28nm. It's interesting to see the One X+ using this combination as it may finally put to rest the talk of Tegra 3 being "incompatible" with LTE.

Oh boy, I just found they added an internal amplifier inside X+. Now that's with the glonass support & new battery making it hard for me not to get the new X+.
Regarding the battery, you can always open your phone after the warranty is all over and replace it yourself.

Point taken. I just don't feel brave enough to attempt that kind of surgery.
Bah, I'll console myself with the fact that a lot of the Sense refinements should be coming to the One X anyway. Too bad for the larger battery...
The phone does look very nice! I would love one but it's not a massive change from the one x.

Will XDA be merging the forums like they did for the sensation and sensation XE?

You could always buy the X+ battery* and go to any mobile shop and make them replacing it for a small fee.
*Giving that X+ battery will works with One X.
Hopefully, I get the time to send my phone for warranty as I am suffering from the yellow screen + little problem with GPS. Then, I'll probably will consider replacing my battery.
*Sigh*, I still haven't unlocked my boot loader ,yet.
so i assume the One X roms won't work with the One X+ ?
hopefully it's easy to port them progress espacially for AOSP for the One X+
I dont think that the X+ battery will be available anywhere besides HTC Service as this is not a replaceable battery which you could buy anywhere.
Having this is mind I guess that only HTC Service could do the needed surgery to replace the old battery with the X+ one.
I have seriously doubt that they will accept to do so even if you offer to pay the amount of money needed.
On a side note it makes me wonder why didnt they equiped the HOX with this new battery in the first place???
As I remember they mumbled something like dimensions, the phone beeing thin etc etc but the dimensions of X+ are the same.
I think this is the type of behaviour that is sending people over to Samsung....
Imagine that a medium to low price device Samsung Galaxy ACE 2 will be getting jelly bean and we have to beg for it....
Never mind the battery, what about the rear cover? At least with the one x+ they seem to of given the rear camera lens a bit of protection!
The only thing that's making me jealous is the internal amplifier. With slim bean, my phone flies as it is.
I think this upgrade was necessary, especially since iPhone 5 is available now and people who wanted a 64gig device could not consider HOX as an option. Well now they can. And with this, HTC beats everything else as far as specs go.
I really like that deep black exterior. But that red ring around the camera looks ugly IMO. wonder if this new housing can be fitted on top of our HOXs.
The amp is only for the external speaker, it comes only as black and the camera lens is indeed recessed
new features in Sense 4+
Powersave profile!
and it is really called Sense 4+
we should be getting all the features of Sense 4+ as confirmed by HTC's press release
Ah yes! I've been waiting for this, I hope these Tmobile rumors are true, I would really love to own this phone!

It has to do with the new kernel and optimizations I think, and and get more with devs works
Enviado desde mi HTC One X usando Tapatalk 2
I've got a variant 2 HOX, running faux's ultimate kernel my CPU can scale to 1.6GHz - So I'll leave it. Not too much of a spec bump to make me want to change.

I'm waiting first real test. Maybe my next phone
I'm planning to buy a new android phone this week

Galaxy S3.
Do not get Samsung, trust me they do not have the craftsmanship and it's features are mediocre at best. It's exfat is broken and the screen breaks easily thanks to 20% thinner gorilla glass; its very expensive to repair because it is glued on it.
I recommend you phone such as: Motorola DROID razr maxx hd(uses kevlar back cover which is the same material used for bullet proof vest, and it has the largest battery life of android on its size), HTC butterfly if you could get one(has 1080p ips rgb display on 5" size,quad core s4 pro, adreno 320, 2gb ram, microsd, 2nd best camera sensor atm first is lumia 920), the upcoming Sony phone that also has 1080p display and quad core s4 pro. If you want the absolute best that is currently available atm, you cannot get it because it is only available on sprint and the phone is called EVO 4G lte which uses anodize aluminum construction, kickstand, and microsd slot, krait cores, 2nd best camera sensor and the fastest Brower atm(sun spider score on its stock browser is 1.2-1.3k on ics

I think you little hard on Samsung, even I'm not a fan I can see how they won that large market share by providing alot of feature, good hardware and varieties
Motorola is almost rare here in my market, I thought of the Maxx series for the large battery but the Note II battery numbers are really impressive
No More HTC, I've using HTC devices from mid 2010 and the big failure in HTC one X (lousy battery, overheating, poor screen protection, got three scratches without a reason ) and for the record, my touch buttons are not working and I'm having it repaired at the moment by replacing the full touch screen
I think that replied on siwo.jack as well
Lumia 920 I guess it will be great but it yet pretty early to judge and I was for two and half years an android user so I'm not sure about winmo 8
Sony Phablet yet to be available and yet to judge either
EVO 4G lte is an HTC and N/A here
I think you should go for LG optimus LS970 btw you can see its specification on gsm arena

it is amazing and the price is too
but 16 GB most !!
also when it come to my country it will be late and priced to the roof
S3 i would say... and S2 is still a best option
:good: go for s 3 ... nice phone ... Note II is also good option but it all depends how you are going to use it. if you carry it daily S3 and S2 are good options ... Note II lil difficult to carry around daily in some crowded places ... fear to loss it
technically both are best phones ...
So wait bro it will be released soon trust me the phone is a monster

I think while the Samsung Galaxy S3 is great, you can not really go wrong with the new Nexus 4 by Google. The price point is just incredible. Of course, if absence of LTE doesn't bother you.
The big question always is, "what are you going to do with it?". Different people have different priorities. For me, camera/screen is a big factor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you'll find a better camera on an android phone than the S3.
The launch of the HTC One yesterday reassured me that I didn't make a big mistake getting the HOX+ last month instead of holding onto my old Galaxy Nexus for a little longer and waiting to get the HTC One.
Based on the initial benchmarks of the HTC One, the HOX+ is still a solid little performer in comparison.

HTC One X+ (Mine)
Definitely holding onto the HOX+ until later this year/early next year to see what the X-Phone brings to the table and/or next Nexus phone (hopefully with AT&T LTE support).
I couldn't agree more. The One may be more powerful, but that's really about it. It has a dumb button layout and it frankly isn't as pretty of a device. The 1080p screen will make no difference unless you've got the phone right to your face, but will eat up the battery quicker. And for the Sense fans, the One X+ is probably going to get Sense 5 in a few months anyway.
Already decided I'm selling my hox+ for the one. I love the look, love that it has a premium design and build. I also love the fact that it has a more powerful and most importantly more efficient processor with an even larger battery, I'll be glad to get rid of this tegra 3 phone. Everything else announced for the one is just a bonus.

I disagree. I think this phone is going to be completely forgotten by ATT and HTC. It has been a sales failure in every respect, simply because HTC does not market their products in the US at all anymore. I doubt you will every see any updates to this phone whatsoever.

I see plenty of advertisements of HTC, they still market in the US.
I can guarantee you that the HTC one will be highly marketed across all countries
Who cares anyway? This is XDA, we will see a port eventually
Slithered from my HTC One X+
I know no reason why I should sell my HOX+ for a HTC One.
Yes, better hardware etc.
But I think the HOX+ is an awesome phone.
I love it since I have it.
Easy to root, easy to flash and easy to recover.
So I don't want to change it.

So you're saying the HOX+ doesn't have a premium design and build, really? And you've also determined this by pictures and videos posted online of the HTC One, having never personally held it?
I agree with you on the power efficiency, but that's about it.
Don't get me wrong the HOX+ is a nice phone, but when you compare metal vs plastic, metal easily wins. Finally an amazing top of the line Android phone with the quality of an Apple product.
As for how it feels in the hand I haven't read one hands on review that said it didn't feel wonderful in their hands.

It's also AT&T's job to market the devices they sell. For whatever reason they think the HOX+ just going to magically sell itself.
Its all purely subjective, I prefer to keep this device since I just bought it recently until the HTC one is cheaper.
Slithered from my HTC One X+
Of course HTC one would win almost in every aspect then HOX+ because it is HTC's brand new flagship phone for 2013. We can judge the phone when Samsung unveiled their SGS4.
Until then, like last year, buyer will have their honeymoon with HTC.
I personally would wait till SGS4 come or even Nexus 5 because I dont want to buy a phone without "equal challenger" to be compared :laugh::laugh:
Something to consider here is the button layout - since there is no more menu button, that ugly black bar for the soft menu button will always be around in old apps.

I wouldn't worry about that, i might be wrong but that bottom section is an extension of the touch screen. So they should be able to map a new key in the center when the HTC logo is for a menu button
Slithered from my HTC One X+
Coming from IOS where the screen is small and the iPhone4 is slower the HOX + is a solid upgrade for me even if it charges slow..
That New One looks crazy but i wont be upgrading any time soon.
Having the HTC Legend in the past, I can't freaking wait to get rid of my One X+ for the HTC One just because of its aluminum cover (& of course better battery life, & a few other small upgrades).
My One X+ is a good phone, I can't complain much except the battery is still weak in my opinion, even though I dont play games on my phone.
& the greenish of picture quality from this One X+ is a shame!!!
Never get excited about ANY phone until this HTC One. Can't wait!!!
besides the aluminum cover & better battery life, this http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one-review-889p4.php is more than enough reason to trade in.
AW: Zero Regrets Getting HOX+ Over HTC One
Do you guys think that there will be overheating with the htc one
If yes than there is no real reason for me to change phones
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Its a quadcore yes it is gonna get hot when you get it going my question is the alluminum case dose it retain heat worse than our one x + because metal is a better conductor tham the rubbery material ours is made of
It would be funny if they all overheat worse than ours I donno what HTC did but metal has to get hot and I can barley touch my rubbery phone when it gets to hot specially on my ear
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium HD app
I'd be worried that the "improved battery" in the One, at least by mAh standards, will be offset by what I'm sure is a VERY power-hungry 1080p display when compared with our HOX+ 720p one.
Moving on to a new device. Thanks Lloir and Maxwen for some nice AOSP action
