Hey guys, this is the reason I didn't pick up a One X. I'm waiting for the quad core CPU with LTE compatibility, removable battery and expandable memory.
Do you think the One X+ will fit these criteria? If the battery is over 2200 Mah I don't really care about Removable battery. But an 1800Mah, I mean come on HTC.

Doubt it will have either unless the design is different or its thicker.

The battery isn't bad now either, only charge it at night, about 3-4 hours onscreen time, unless you are a gamer ofc.
What are you planning on putting on your sdcard, isn't 32GB enough? I have about 10GB free, multiple movies and episodes of series. About 15 games, and maybe 30 apps on it.
The only reason I see is LTE and upgraded CPU, however with Faux kernel my phone is max 1,5GHz at Quad-Core, and if you are lucky and get a variant 3 it works at 1,6GHz Quad-Core.
And there's no chance that it's gonna have removable battery, maybe a removable sdcard at most. I'm pretty damn sure they are gonna stick with unibody design, it's sexy as hell!

There's only three hard facts. Everything else is heresay. Fact 1: There's an Evita (XL) variant with a 1.7GHz Teg3 chip and Nvidia Icera LTE radio running JB that's been seen in benchmarks during its testing. It's going to be an AT&T phone. Fact 2: T-Mobile U.S. is going to launch a new HTC phone with a sales code of Era42 in September. Fact 3: A 5" 1080P HTC phablet has shown up in benchmarks during testing heading to Verizon.
Stuff in the UK has said they've heard from "insiders" that there will a C2 version of the One X (Endeavor HSPA) that will have a 1.7GHz Teg3 chip and an "improved" battery coming in October. If you believe that they also said that it will work with existing accessories so don't expect any physical changes like a removable SD card.
I think it will get the evo 4g battery not removable plus SD card slot.

Removeable battery I don't need (in about a year or 2 I buy a new phone anyway and it could be better of course but there's nothing wrong with the battery performance atm).
Micro SD I don't need (plenty of memory atm and same reason as 1, in about a year or 2 I buy a new phone which will have more memory anyway).
A faster processor, cool! :laugh:

I'm really looking forward to the so rumored 5' HD Quad Krait HTC phablet, but One X+ came out sooner.
Got me with my hand tied, i will try to take it easy and wait for the 5' HD Phablet, but I really need to replace my good old Desire HD.
Still i think that both phones, phablet and X+, won't have removable battery and expansable mSD.
One X has been confirmed withouth removable battery and expansable mSD.
Sad that HTC after 8 years of using their phones forced me to buy Samsung which I hate.
Unfortunately me and as I think many others prefere as much space for data as possible. Top model without mSD slot? Joke.

Apart from crapberry. Android is the only mobile OS that supports micro SD cards. And even then the majority of devices can only use 32GB cards. 64GB is ample space for any device.

64gb is a lot compared to the 8gb it looks like the "Nexus 4" is getting!

Yep, I am almost in the same position as you, so close to buying the LTE Samsung (except I hate the screen colours "The Only Reason") I am a photographer and like to show case some of my photos on the phone.
I need a phone very soon to replace my lost phone, and some things just bug me with HTC, not international LTE in there flagship phone like most other manufacturers. And the lack of SD card, may be I wouldn't care if the device supported USB 3, so I could upload my music collection in 2 hours (card reader) vs a whole day (through phone). I have always taken my class 10 card out of the phone to transfer files with my USB 3 UDMA card reader because it takes far less time and I can continue to use the phone and take it around while I am waiting for the transfer to complete.

current devices do NOT have the hardware spec for Sense 4.0 features. the lack of the f2.0 camera lens, and the dedicated ImageChip to work with "imageSense" and improve the camera as drastically as they did were 90% of the selling point of Sense4.0...
makes sense(no pun intended) to be honest and you can't fault them for the decision.

I would take this rumor with a grain of salt. Considering Google recently purchased Motorola Mobility.

While we in the development forums may thing of an sd card is a "must-have" feature, the general public could care less. The public cares more about 16/32 GB of storage than the ability to have up to 32 GB of removable storage.
Typical consumer conversation with sales rep:
"How much memory does this phone have?"
"It comes with a 2GB card. But we can sell you another card which has 32GB for an extra $70"
"How about this other one?"
"It's got 16/32 Gb built in."
"Wow, that's a lot more! I'll take the one with more storage."

No, it sounds like a general consumer who has never purchased a smartphone in their life. We have to remember that Android is taking over the world and most people buying these phones are upgrading from flip phones. These people have a hard time buying a new computer or choosing which iPod is right for them. Show them a selection of smartphones and they simply buy what the store sales rep says is the best option for them.

what it comes down to is 1 thing. COST to HTC. If they can offer more on board memory and the price of having the SD is more than the extra onboard then its clear what way they are going to go with to achieve a "minimum" amount of memory for the phone...
Well this is weird... LG was "rumoured" to be next google device. Hmm.. perhaps there is some mighty trolling on the go?

That's short sighted and somewhat dependent on the demographic you are referring to as "typical consumer"...
My wife - just wants the phone to deliver her email, texts and phone calls and may not even know the Android Market exists.
My teenager - complains that she's out of storage space with all the music, movies, apps, wallpapers etc. I'm actually buying her a 32GB card so she can lose her iPod and just use a single device.
And me - i'm my teenager plus a flashaholic so these things are important.
Yes...there's google music but they haven't quite ironed out how my family can share my music like i can with my ipods so local storage is important (oh yeah..I also have sprint with **** network where i live so downloading is a house of horrors).
And anybody who thinks that an 1800ma battery is gonna suffice when you fire up some LTE is smokin crack.
I'm about done with HTC. Still upset about the s-off situation on my Evo 3D.
As for what they could have better on the One X...
S-off without needed to use their stupid tool.
Removable battery.
SD slot.
Add a kickstand.
Charging port on the bottom so you can use the kickstand (or case with one) while charging.
No buttons.
Did you guys see the rumored specs for the Galaxy S 3? Totally blows the HTC One X out of the water. And it will have s-off on day 1 too.

Rogers seems to suggest that it doesn't have a micro sd slot, but has 32GB built in storage only.
Also, like the Galaxy S (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) series, it seems they will be branding at least a couple of different models as the Optimus G; the AT&T version is the E970 (once rumored to be LG Eclipse?) where I believe the Rogers version will be the E973. Like CXENTE, I'd rather have a micro sd slot rather than the 13MP camera.

I definitely agree.
13MP on a PHONE???? That's overkill. If you need that pixels, you also need a real lens system.
No removable storage... almost unforgivable. I've got a 32GB mSD already. I'm coming from an HTC Inc, and almost nothing used the internal storage (/mnt/emmc). So, I would rather have 2-4GB internal and a mSD slot.
I'm concerned about the battery... I've had to do the battery yank quite a few times, so .....?
Give me root. CM10 would be nice. Then I'll be "super" happy.
It's confirmed that the ATT version has expandable memory and Sprint version has the 13mp camera. I believe the Sprint version also has expandable memory as well. I'll report back next week when I get mine.

probably different antennas and what not, for Att and maybe something to do with the micro sd card, that's only one 1mm wider or .040 of inch thats,not that much unless, you have little hands then maybe, I work with .001 of inch everyday and .040 isn`t much.
Just like to say, I have the phone now for the past 6 hours and it fits my hands great, I haven't had any issues yet with the screen size or anything. And yes not only does it come with a micro sd slot but it also had a 16GB sd card in it out of the box. It came with no headset though just the sd card and charger, also it does have a 8mp camera but it sure seems to take nice pictures.

I was kind of thinking the same thing when final DNA specs came out. Maybe the next big thing will have a micro sd and removable battery when I'm eligible next year.

With the iPhone being the gold standard in phone design and Google's Nexus phones moving towards no external storage and non-replaceable batteries, I think the other OEMs are taking suit and following. It is a shame since I utilize two batteries (both standard) to keep me afloat when I don't have downtime to charge my Rezound around 12-2pm every day. Android/Android+UI skins and the hardware are not optimized enough to offer what the iPhone can - a 1440mAH battery and all day or longer battery life.
To OP:
I disagree with HTC picking "a side". They release phones on multiple carriers, unlike Apple's original stance with AT&T-only. A problem is the fact they are having an identity crisis at the moment. They're phones are labeled under carrier-owned franchises (DROID, EVO, etc) rather than their own (e.g.: one), although it seems like they're working on that...slowly. They're definitely the last one to the game out of the big 3, with Motorola reviving the 'RAZR' platform and Samsung running with their 'Galaxy' series. It's fragmented in a way for non-carrier branded phones, like the Thunderbolt to the Rezound to now Droid DNA. No consumer who doesn't have an interest in phones like we do will ever realize the successors and predecessors because these are all new phone names...not just a new generation (like iPhone 5 or the GS3 or even RAZR HD). They need to stick with the 'one' branding and work on only a couple of phones at a time and spread it across all carriers possible to grant the most access to consumers. Motorola tried the whole 'let's throw a bunch of phones against a wall and see which ones stick'...it didn't get them too far and then they were overwhelmed with phone updates (sound ... familiar?). Although exclusivity is excellent for the carrier, it's negative for the manufacturer...and with no manufacturer, no phone. In the US, the manufacturer needs carrier support more than the carriers need an individual manufacturer.
In reality, I think HTC realizes this mistake due to the falling bottom line and is hopefully getting plans to turn this sinking ship around. After enjoying AOSP on the OG Droid to despising MotoBlur on the DX (and going with CM7) to actually enjoying the aesthetics Sense 3.5 and now Sense 4 (seriously, the Rezound should have had an OEM upgrade to Sense 4), my phone has been rock solid since launch day, exactly one year ago today (oh shiz, my warranty expires today!). I enjoy HTC's build quality and having an OEM-supported unlockable bootloader and a community-supported S-OFF initiative and wish them the best in turning themselves around. Never have I ever been so content with a phone until I got the Rezound...and a year later, I still love this device. It does everything I want and then some.
TL;DR - HTC needs to stick with the 'one' series and man the fudge up to the carriers.

I think they should just add a micro SD slot so stores don't have to carry 3 times the inventory.

The weird thing is I saw a 32 gig sd card on ebay for the DNA. Which is weird considering no sd slot unless it's an internal sd slot like the early wp7 devices.

Ashton is right.
There is only a very small percentage of people that actually care about more than 16 gigs if storage. You are one of them.

Personally, at 11gb usable, I think this phone will have a hard time selling, especially when following the Note 2 (only reason I could see buying the DNA over the Note - price. That being said, people are picking up the Note 2, on AT&T, for $199. Yeah, the DNA has a better looking spec sheet...but, it is DEFINITELY not for me). I would buy a phablet so I would not have to carry a phone (to listen to my music) AND a 7" tablet to read/minor surfing. Still need a 10" Tablet... All that said...I love HTC products. Bought the Inspire, upgraded to the Vivid, downgraded to the Inspire again, bought the HTC Flyer tablet.
With all due respect, if so few people care about no "more than 16 gigs of storage", why did Google drop the Nexus 8 gig line? Why is their no 8 gig line? I think the people HAVE spoken by saying if you ARE going to take our storage cards away, at least give us the option to increase our storage space from the get go. My guess is, you will see other "options" available as time goes on. Also, though we are seeing more phones come available with no removable battery/no sd card, my guess is there will always be people wanting those features. As we become more and more mobile and phones become larger, we will change our viewing habits from TV at home to watching them via phone/tablet. There will be a need for larger and larger memory options. Add the clamp down on internet usage, throttling, etc., people are not going to WANT to use a cloud for their music/videos, especially as we are primarily an instant gratification society.
Today, there may only be a small percentage who care about more than 16 gigs (I would tend to disagree with that statement but anywho). Tomorrow, the numbers will grow...and grow...and grow. Apple is expecting to double the 7" tablet market every year for the next 2 years. The more I do away from my 10TB of HDD space at home, the more I am going to need when mobile.
I cant wait till I see all this blow over
Very simply said .
Google, apple and now HTC took away our SD card slots to put every thing on a cloud
Verizon took away our unlimited , even thought ATT let their old customers keep it with upgrading
The DNA takes away removable battery , so if you run out , well your not carrying a mobile any more
Then , to my surprise, this particular HTC phone (the DNA) doesent surf and talk on 3g like all HTC 4g phones . (DONT START THE ARGUMENT THAT 3G IS INCAPABLE OF IT, LOOK AT TBOLT, S3 AND REZOUND FORUMS).
to get what ? a quad core processor ( how many actually will use its full potential ) and a screen that our human eyes can not possible distinguish from 720.
Where do you guys think this is going to go ? I simply can not predict an outcome, but i feel like not only are we just bending over, we just swallowed too

I don't know about you, but I can clearly see the pixels on the Rezound screen from over a foot away. Now it may or may not be practical to make higher-resolution screens - on the Rezound, for pixels to become a problem in reading text, the text would have to be way too small to read comfortably anyway. But a screen on which I cannot see pixels would look nicer. And I hear the DNA screen, like the One screen, also uses thinner panels or panels of a slightly different material, so colors should look better apart from the higher resolution.
About the processor, I hear it will greatly improve battery life by managing power consumption better. I don't know if any dual core processors manage battery as well as the S4, but even if the S4's full power will rarely be needed, anything that significantly improves battery life is welcome.
I would not get a device with less than 32 gb total storage, so I am hoping that when I do get another phone (probably in two or three more years, or when my Rezound dies and there is a better phone for under $100), there will be a good device with at least 32 gb.
My Rezound battery generally lasts me through the day, but when I will not have access to power for a full day or more, I carry an extra battery, so I'm fine with non-removable batteries as long as they last at least a little longer than the Rezound's.

Ha. I don't believe you for a minute. I can see them if I put my eyes right up on the screen, but other than that they are almost indistinguishable. And even then I can't see them good. Will the 1080 screen be nice, sure, worth buying another HTC device that will take 9 years to never see a update, not a snowballs chance in hell. HTC might could win me back as a customer if they actually start updating their devices and listen to their customers, but until then, no thanks. The rezound will be my last I believe. I damn sure am not buying a device that doesn't have a removable battery. And the only way I am giving up an SD card is if it comes with a 64 gb variant. Which it doesn't. Even apple realizes this, so this nonsense from google and HTC about not including SD slots is stupid if you won't at least give us ones with 32/64 gb internal memories.

I normally can't see them either, but if I look at some diagonal line between contrasting colors that is not smoothed by making some pixels along the line colored between the two colors (such as the edges of the numbers in the status bar clock), I can see a distinct staircase-shaped edge.
Furthermore, I suspect you can too: one foot is quite close, and if I bring the screen closer than about eight inches, I can no longer focus my eyes on it, so one foot is close to the optimal distance for seeing pixels, and you said yourself that you can see then from some position.

Yes, but it does make the pixels distinctly visible, and shows that at 720p, pixels are easily visible, which is all that I was saying.
I'm going to be upgrading on AT&T soon and am looking at the phone market closely. I'm in-between the LGOG and the HTC OneX+. I have a couple of questions.
1. How similar is the LGOG to the Nexus 4?
If they are slightly similar, could N4 roms be easily ported?
2. Does it look like dev support is going to be good.
3. Do you feel this phone is future proof? At lease for 2+ years.
My captivate is still kicking thanks to the wonderful devs. It is truly amazing what they have done. If the same will be true for this device it's a
no-brainer.

1. Very similar, almost the same phone. According to the guys in chat once the kinks are worked out n4 roms will be easily portable.
2. Rooted and unlocked this fast. N4 ports... Probably.
3. It's basically got everything a new phone could possibly have. Nothing on the market touches it... That said no way of knowing if devs will stay. I just moved from a captivate also. It stayed alive that long because of the i9000 devs. This will probably last even longer being so close to the n4.
All my opinion of coarse..

Thanks I just order it cause I saw ten minutes ago bestbuy raised the price back up to $199. I ordered it on amazon before they too raise the price. For $99 it was too good to pass up. And I'm really hoping this device is as great as the cappy was. However, just stock looks pretty good. LG did a great job of implementing some most wanted features in stock. Fingers-crossed for CM10.1!!
I'm also on the fence between the OG and OneX+. I really thought I wanted a N4, but this phone seems to be better, especially with the sd slot. I've got two more weeks before I can upgrade, but I'm leaning towards the OG over the HTC, it seems more future proof.

I played with both and the OG had a much nicer screen. Also, the OneX+ doesn't have a menu button and I noticed on some apps there was a really big on-screen menu button that was ugly.

Definitely better than the one x+, the snapdragon s4 pro on the Optimus G smokes the Tegra 4 in one x+. Everything is buttery smooth on Optimus even with ics. One x+ is having jellybean but sense still lags. The only thing which is awesome on the one x+ is the display and camera. But Optimus is very close on both those department as well. If you are looking future proof for a while like 6 months to 1 year the Optimus G is not a bad option. One X+ SOC is already old.

Another question: Does the phone come with 16GBs internal or 32GBs internal?
There is a lot of mixed answers. Att had the phone listed as 32 but expandable to 80Gb (with a 64gb SD card). Amazon list it as 16 but comes with a 16 micro SD card.

The AT&T version comes with 16 GB of on-board storage and a 16 GB micro SD card so it Does comes with 32 GB out of the box. But, you can replace the micro SD card with one up to 64 GB and increase your storage. Now the Sprint and International versions both have 32 GB of built in storage, but no micro SD slot to expand it.
Hope that helps.

Thanks. Still so worth it just for the expandable option. I have a 64 GB sdcard just waiting. I have a gnex right now, love the fast updates, hate being held back by storage.
One of the devs should look into a storage swap script. On my tab, I use a SD swap script that make the internal the external and the external the internal. Works great for all those large games that get installed on the internal memory.

I broke down and called AT&T this morning about upgrading me a couple weeks early. "You've been a loyal customer...blah, blah, blah...., no problem, we'll get it send out tomorrow." So with the overnight shipping option, I should have my LGOG by Tuesday...can't wait. I did miss the $99 deal, so I had to shell out the full $199, but since a couple weeks ago I tried my hardest to get google to take $349 from me for a 16GB N4, I guess I still saved a good bit.
Thanks for everyone's input...looking forward to seeing what we can make this thing do.
Saw this on my blinkfeed. If the camera is more than 4mp, I will have to get it.

Damn, 2.3ghz. That's faster than my computer lol. Only 16gb of storage tho.. Ugh, I thought the HTC making the One 32 and 64 gb's that it was done with 16gb phones from now on. Someone needs to tell them that 16gb with no microsd card slot is NOT enough storage. People are embracing the cloud as much as these manufacturers would like.
HTC wants to figure out why they are in an economic hole? It's the little things like that, which Samsung does right, that are keeping them from climbing out.
P.S. How can it arrive in summer with Key Lime Pie when it hasn't been announced by Google yet?

It's actually rumored to have an sd card slot. I didn't read this particular article but one I read on engadget said it.

Well think of it this way the Chinese HTC one has an sd card slot because they had extra room due to a smaller radio chip. So it's not that HTC doesn't like sd cards they just try to make the phones as compact as possible and sd cards are the first to go if they need space... Now with a bigger screen they have more to play with. All just rumors anyway but it seems possible either way.
Only 16gb of memory? Not believable yet to make something like the One then make another flagship with less memory.
