It looks like the bezel is larger on one side of the tablet than the other. The back seems to be made of polycarbonate and it shares some of the HTC One X design language with rounded curves all around.
The device is definitely an Android tablet, but it brings some minor differences in the UI, which are definitely expected from HTC. One thing we still can’t understand is why they’ve set both the front facing camera and the back camera at the bottom of the device. The back camera doesn’t matter where it’s placed, but the front camera is set where the bezel is, which seems awkward. We’re still not sure if this is just an early prototype, a promo, or just HTC trying different things out. One thing is certain, we are waiting to see at least one HTC Tablet at IFA, and whether it’s this unique device or something else, let’s hope they don’t disappoint.

Looks more like an updated Jetstream prototype

Looks kinda neat. Don't wreck it with Sense.
HTC is certainly capable of building good hardware, but incapable of marketing , hitting price points or delivering a proper UI experience.
Notice no stylus.
I expect it will be a Sense 4 toting giant version of the HTC One X al-la Flyer being a giant Thunderbolt . No stylus. Probably will have 4g/LTE and price around $499, so will be targeted to sell at cell carriers as a high end device with hefty subsidies to get the price down on contract. But I hope I'm wrong and they actually produce a marketable device.
HTC really needs to dump Sense and update their UI skin. Sense is really dragging them down now, but I really doubt they will do that.
where is the scribe
doesn't look as if it is using the scribe technology. if not then it wouldn't necessarily be consideredas a successor to the flyer/jetstream
They ****ed up my Flyer and they expect me to buy another one? NEVER!
Fake/Prototype
Tablet will be DOA with HTC's awesome (not) history of supporting their tablets with software updates. Regardless of how it looks or the specs, I'll never buy another HTC tablet again.

I like how it looks, with the thin (possibly polycarbonate) body. Like a tablet version of the One X, as another mentioned. But I'm pretty sure I'm set on the 7" form factor for tablets.

The photos looks like promotional shots, and a little too nice for a prototype or fakes.
Promotional renders of products by Samsung were "leaked" just before the devices were unveiled at the IFA in Germany. Seems pretty plausible that HTC is doing the same.
http://phandroid.com/2012/08/29/samsung-galaxy-note-2-promotional-renders-leak-hours-short-of-ifa-announcement/
A new 10" tablet by HTC has been rumored for a while. It would be no great surprise to see it unveiled soon.
Too bad if it's 10" then :/
Looks pretty big & ugly to me... I love my Flyer, and on Dexter_nlb's JB build, I'm waiting a little longer on the N7...
I chose the red pill... Now I'm in the mAtrix and I know Kung Fu... in HD!

It's obviously fake. HTC will release a Flyer successor and they can't be that dumb to not include the Scribe technology. After all, they were the first to tackle this segment.
It looks fake to me.
Also wondering why they put the camera on the bottom of the screen :S Think this is not practical at all!

How is it obvious? Most "leaked" fakes are renders, not promo shots like this of the device actually being used. Unless you're some expert at spotting Photochop jobs (I certainly am not), I don't see how you can come to such a quick conclusion.
And who is to say this device (if real) doesn't include the scribe/stylus feature. Just because this handful of photos doesn't show it, doesn't mean automatically mean its absent.
I think it's fake and here are my reasons:
1. In one of the photos, the alleged tablet has the iPad wallpaper. Why would HTC advertise the tablet with the iPad wallpaper?
2. In another photo, the HTC logo is not centered, while in all others it's centered.
3. Where is Sense UI? The UI seems kind of stock to me, and HTC is all about Sense. They wouldn't ditch it on their tablet comeback.
But then again, it's only my opinion.

Good catches. And makes a lot more sense than just saying "obviously fake" without any explanation. So thanks for clarifying.
Didn't notice the iPad wallpaper, since I don't use Apple products; and personally couldn't even make out the HTC logo on the other photo. I also noticed the more AOSP look, which made me think that maybe HTC is trying something different on this round of tablets. But this would be very much out of character for HTC at this point, and fake is a plausible explanation.
Just seems like a lot of trouble to make what looks like a physical mockup (if even just a shell) to create some false buzz. Makes me think the pics themselves are representative of some real tablet (even if not HTC), and some other jackhole Photochopped the HTC logos on.
I didn't catch the wallpaper either (I don't use/have Apple products). I read about the new HTC tablet on a website and someone left a comment about the wallpaper. That's how I realized

Hello,
since the trend in smartphone development aims at huge screens and extreme processor speeds I was wondering if anybody heard about possible Aria successors, that would be handy phones with decent specs.
I would love to see a new Aria, with a dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, a thinner bezel (like the Galaxy Nexus) but the same or just slightly bigger dimensions as the Aria.
Any rumors?
I fear that this is just wishful thinking, but one can still dream XD
Unfortunately, I've been hunting for this for about 6 months. No alpha products, previews, or reviews I could find...
Looks like you'll have to upgrade to something bulkier =(
Dang.
Well there is no rush for me to decide. I got rid of any kind of cellphone plans and buy my new phones when I can't stand the old ones anymore
With CM7 and some tweaking I can still love my Aria for a while.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus would be ok if only it had more RAM and Android 4.0. Too bad...
Sony has some small phones that looks decent. But they still have the physical buttons
Like this
This is my new hobby, creating HTC Aria 2 fakes. If only I could print them out with a 3D printer...
Would you maybe like one with a front cam and two LEDs integrated into the classic speaker? Or a green one with trackball?
I loved my Aria. The weight was ideal but I had to have a bigger screen. It seems that the general trend nowadays it to get bigger and better. My example to this would be the Samsung Galaxy Note. The only carrier I know of that still has phones (new phones I might add) is SouthernLinc Wireless. Not to come off as advertisement but we just got a Motorola i867. 3.1" screen. Runs Eclair.
I really do wish that they would have an Aria 2. I agree with you. If they removed most of the bezel it would be a great phone. I still have mine even though I have since had a Captivate and now the Galaxy S II.
I am curious if some nice mid-range phones pop up at MWC next week.
Doubt there will be any successor to the Aria.

The SE xperia ray looks decent, ableit maybe too small.
What about the upcoming Xperia Sola? It's about the same size with a dual-core processor.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sola-4408.php
There's very little info on the Sola currently, but so far it's looking like my next phone.
Sony needs to trim off all that bezel.
Galaxy mini 2? Specs are still low but better than the aria for the moment

The HTC One V still hasn't picked a carrier but it will have a 3.7" screen and single 1ghz processor.
Personally interested in the 4.3" dual core One S.
this htc one v is not bad at all! looks good enough to replace this little aria
The Sony Xperia Mini (pro) devices both have diminutive 3-inch screens and pack a single-core 1GHz processor. They are interesting enough and quite inexpensive on Amazon.

I keep wondering...why can't there be a high-end phone with smaller dimensions. High-end does not necessarily mean it has to have a huge screen. Or at least mid-end haha. 1GHz is not too much to ask, and why not 1gb ram.

Good Stuff
Fantastic build quality
Gorgeous display
Really fast, smooth performance
Bad Stuff
Sprint's LTE network isn't ready yet
Mediocre battery life
Sense is still too intrusive
..
Head here for whole review...
www.theverge.com/2012/5/11/3012990/htc-evo-4g-lte-review
Engagdet and TheVerge have both had just terrible reviews of this phone (The review quality being the terrible part)
I understand that because it's a variant of a previously released phone they aren't as excited about it, but both of the ones I've read feel rushed and provide no real information.
these review sites are trash. they get the phone for 2 days and pump out all the reasons its bad, but the truth is they dont know how to use the phone or android.
Yup. I never trust those sites for phone reviews. They know nothing about phones
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2
The lack of an LTE network is an interesting con about the phone. Even without LTE/4G capabilities this phone is still really dope! I'm certainly not buying it for the network. As far as complaints about Sense, well that's what you get when you purchase an HTC phone- if you don't like Sense, install a custom ROM or stay away from HTC. The battery life complaints are shocking to me- I can't imagine it being that bad. With improvements in power management or ICS, the S4 processor, and Sense 4.0 it seems bizarre that battery life could be only mediocre considering I had excellent battery life on my E3D.
Anyhoo, as always I take these reviews with a grain of salt because there is only one review that really matters- mine.
How can they say Sense is still too intrusive as a con?..IMHO if you buy an HTC phone you kind of know what you are getting into...Get over your complex and buy a stinking nexus device..

Agreed! plus most HTC phones such as the EVO line get AOSP builds that work just as well as the builds ran on nexus phones. So in the end you can have sense for those who prefer, or you can have AOSP for those who prefer that. Non-HTC phones can almost never get a sense build to play with. Having the option is what makes htc phones ideal for me. Especially considering having that same option when it comes to samsung phones with touchwiz is not appealing to me at all. Basically a samsung phone with TW is junk until stable aosp arrives.
typical ATT/Apple nuthugging websites.
Sense intrusive? HA! They toned it down in my opinion. Got rid of the huge round dock, Background for the flipclock, and most of Sense 4.0 looks useful and intuitive.

Yup they own iphones. They don't understand
There are two threads on this same review, they should probably be consolidated IMHO. We should probably have a one stop thread for all reviews.
That said I will never get people who complain about Sense and buy HTC phones. I have never owned a Samsung Android phone because I just quite frankly don't like the look of TW. So if I didn't like Sense I would never buy an HTC phone just to turn around and complain about it. Quite frankly with the exception of the Nexus line there isn't a single high end Android phone that doesn't use a skin of some sort. I get there is always the possibility of putting aosp on it but if you're going to spend your money on a device you should be buying it for what it offers and is capable of rather than what you could potentially remove and replace it with. I use aosp roms like cm and even miui once in a while cause they offer unique features but when it comes down to it when buying an HTC phone Sense offers the most complete experience especially since as history has proven aosp based roms always end up missing some of the features of the phone. Sure we may not use them all the time but it's nice to know sometimes if I run a Sense rom I could use all the functionality of my phone. I've been using Sense since it was called Manilla on WM devices. They've always kept a general design language in which I personally liked and Sense 4 is probably their biggest departure while still keeping some of that basic design intact. Trying both Sense 3.6 and 4.0 I can appreciate the subtle changes in 3.6 if you were running a Sense 3.0 or 3.5 rom blending both those version of Sense with ICS features. However there is just something subtle about the way Sense 4.0 looks and performs that going back just doesn't feel the same. Although I do think they should've kept quick settings in the notification dropdown, but thats just my opinion. Sorry for the rant.
I have two words for the complaint about battery life - JUICE DEFENDER.
Here's another review that I haven't seen posted on here yet (from PC World):
http://www.pcworld.com/article/255517/htc_evo_4g_lte_review_gorgeous_but_no_lte_for_now.html
Overall pretty positive review, although the lack of LTE is really killing the vibe on all of these reviews. Without that stumbling block, I think I'd be reading more "iPhone killer" and "best Android phone available" phrases scattered about. As it stands, they make the phone seem rather pedestrian instead of game-changing. To me, if the One X is a game-changer as many reviews claim it to be, this MUST be even more so.
Edit: Here's another review.
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-review-20120511/
the engadget review to me praised it really good and even hte battery scored high was just they werent sure how it would be with LTE on
I wonder why HTC never changed the look of the battery is been the same since the evo 4G. Is not gonna change how goof the phone is but just wondering. Also I think the phone is a solid 8-9 only cause of sprints network is really bad in some cities for me is a hit or miss
these reviewers are IDIOTS
I love how they say the SENSE is too intrusive but then they all have said at some given time the love the WIDGETS CONTACT UI, DIALER, FRIENDSTREAM.. ETC.. You idiots thats SENSE..
And for "lack of better words.... It doesn't make any "SENSE" to say you love every little aspect of something and then say its a bad thing that the gave it to you. its like saying "thanks for buying me a car a house a boat" etc then turning around and saying "I hate you for buying me so much stuff" it makes no sense
it's really way too early to say the battery life is bad
the ATT version lasts 30 hours and has LTE forced on and a smaller battery
Probably a software/radio bug that will get patched soon just like the ATT version
The BEST mobile phone review site is Anandtech, no one else does things like actually MEASURE the brightness of a display
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5310/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-review/11
or MEASURE how loud a speaker phone is
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5310/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-review/13
stuff that actually matters not "sense is annoying"

So there are 2 "Verge Review" threads??....if so shoot me a pm with the link to the other one and I'll lock which ever one was created second...Thought I already locked/deleted the 2nd one on this topic though....
in the end if you guys ever want/feel anything should be consolidated or moved/locked there is this fancy feature here called the "Report Button" that works magic....it actually notifies us Mod's when you want something done...we dont have time to run through every thread reading every comment so use the feature...amazing stuff....
While I agree it would be nice to have a one stop shop review thread, there likely won't be one less someone is committed to starting one and keeping it updated over the course of time no matter what...regardless though, the multiple review threads will cease here shortly after the device is released and all anyway...
I know everybody wants to switch to a new phone, and one of the reasons is the newest htc camera is so much better than anything else...or is it? Maybe waiting one more generation is the way to go.....http://www.gsmarena.com/pureview_blind_test-review-773.php
This thread says otherwise
well of course it does, they all own the phone and they are coming from older phones. Fact is no one in the 1000 people sampled could pick out the htc photos. Well maybe thats a good thing?
There is alot more to a smartphone than its camera, the evo 3d is the exception because 3d is the headline feature.....point being HTC has designed a good phone (albeit with a few niggles for a selected bunch of models), The camera is the cherry on the cake, now people can decide if they want the whole experience i.e. the cake, or just the cherry i.e. the standout feature from the proverbial or literal sh**

That might not be true, actually cell phones are so much alike that one phone having a much better camera than the others might turn out to be it's biggest feature. At any given moment there might be almost as many people taking pictures with a cell phone as there are making a call, heck a lot of people just text or use it for web surfing.
I think the real question here is, what camera would meet YOUR standards? There are a lot of people out there who say the camera is raising the bar, and obviously, you're a skeptic. Am I right?

I would love to have the lte\one x camera on my evo3d, i'm not that great at taking pictures and would like to get better. I just like to read and found the camera comparison to be quite interesting. Maybe I should have said camera great but not the greatest? Let me add one thing, is there anyone who wouldn't want this camera on their next phone? And i mean camera only. That would be raising the bar by a huge amount.

Thats not exactly what I mean.... You don't buy the phone JUST based on the camera alone... Its the whole package.... The one x camera is great, but in these tests all the settings have to be equal and thats a user oriented thing as to how each individuals perception of a good quality image is, there are too many variables.
IMO HTCs camera settings have never been the best straight out the box... My desire hd had that issue and the same with the evo 3d, but then its to my taste and everyone's is different, unless the image is just **** lol

But, you do realize that the One Series and the EVO 4G LTE were both completed by design and announced before official rumors of the S3 was complete. So, of course Samsung would 1up the competition. It's just like if a new phone is announced later in the year, it's obviously gonna have better specs than one that was designed before.
And HTC definitely didn't lose their ass with this new phone (Especially the EVO 4G LTE). The One series is a step in the right direction for the company. No more quantity over quality. They're taking things down the right road this time.

I stumbled on this post searching for something. What a dumb post. Just delete his whole thread. I myself am.dumber for reading it. Camera quality is subjective when quality is this good. No one is using a phone to take aerial photos of property to show off. HTC has a hit. S3 is good but another same looking samsung phone. What innovation there. I am a big Samsung fan but S3 is a disappointment on looks and design for its exterior.

Sorry you didn't like the article, i thought it was interesting to see a phone have a camera that good and somewhat surprised to see the htc phone rated that low. The phone was a hit at the last show because of the camera, they rated it a top 5 show item. I would think these people are more knowledgeable in the phone technology area, they certainly are smarter than mehttp://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/nokia-808-pureview-united-states/ I did also see that engadget has their review up for the S3 and they say the S3 camera, except for a faster shutter, is not much better than the S2. They also say the camera is about the same as the htc camera. So while that makes the cameras both pretty good I guess they are not a huge leap forward.http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/

Nice picture, no doubt, but if htc took the time to install a 3d camera on last years flagship phone, maybe a year from now they could install something similar to the nokia's camera and have something that is actually a "huge" improvement. We are now shown the technology is there and is being used and mass produced.
Some rumors and leaked images about the HTC M7 and *apparently* the Sense 5 UI.
original story: (with screenshots) http://www.slashgear.com/htc-m7-and-sense-5-ui-leak-reveals-more-details-11264958/
CES 2013 may be winding down, but the news keeps on rolling. Today, a handful of screenshots have leaked that apparently show off HTC’s Sense 5 user interface for Android, which will run on the also rumored M7 that we’ve talked about in the past. The group of screenshots also comes with a picture of the UI running on an HTC phone which could possibly be the M7 itself.
This is technically the first actual photo of what may possibly be the HTC M7. However, it doesn’t show off much, other than the display and a little bit of the bezel. Then again, it looks like HTC will be bringing their polycarbonate design over from Windows Phone 8, so we’ll know what to expect slightly, given those circumstances.
The screenshots show a little bit of what to expect out of Sense 5, and it’s definitely been given a slight redesign. However, for those wishing that the new HTC Sense UI will someday be closer to stock Android, we can’t see that happening anytime soon, since the company loves its Sense interface and many users love it right back.
However, the screenshots hint at a little bit of details on the hardware of the M7. We still see the legacy menu button in the screenshots, which suggest that the M7 will come with the same three capacitive touch buttons just like the HTC One series, with a dedicated on-screen menu button when needed. Overall, though, the Sense 5 UI looks bit a cleaner and simpler than Sense 4.x.
As far as other rumors go for the M7, we’re looking at a 4.7-inch 1080p display with a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. There’s also supposedly going to be 32GB of internal storage, a 13MP f/2.0 rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2300mAh battery to power it all.

Do you think we will see Sense 5 officially on our DNA?

If HTC sticks with their new jellybean upgrade pattern of all devices getting the same sense, yes
If not? Then no

Pretty sure we will. Our hardware definitely will support it. Plus it's Verizon's premium htc device.... Now the timetable for the update... Well, that could be a while.

I sure hope we see this that would be messed up for the DNA not getting this

Love how they talk about how the M7 as the phone that brings over the polycarbonate design from the Windows phones....when the DNA uses polycarbonate.

HTC M7
Why of why it's not 5-inch 1080p screen smartphone? Kind of bummer. I also thought this one is gonna be the Tegra4-armed device.

I'm wondering is the 13MP camera sensor has Exmor technology on it? If so, then it's must be from Sony, right? Just like on Lenovo IdeaPhone K900.
You know, to me the m7 isn't that much of an upgrade. I love my DNA. 8 to 13 mp for my phone display isn't a game changer in my mind. The increased storage and slightly faster cpu aren't either. And you lose screen size.

I have no doubt we will see this on our phone ~eventually~, I know devs will have it on our DNA before HTC does, IF they do.
I am coming from the ReZound where I had Sense 4, something that was never intended to be on it, and before that, the HTC Droid Inc, which had AOKP ICS
I actually really hope Sense5 doesn't look like this, because they need to start going WITH the times and not against it. I still can't believe they retain their fat statusbar with the lame grey to black gradient >_< what is this, sense 2???
Don't really care for Sense 5, I'm holding out for Viper Rom or an aokp-based Rom.
tks
M7 will be a good phone no doubt...but I like my 5 inch 1080p screen too much.
I can't wait to see what phones come out this year that will tempt me to sell my DNA.
If sense 5 looks radically different don't count on it. Vzw doesn't want the average customer that buys it and doesn't tinker to have to experience a forced major UI change. It confuses the average consumer whether its for the good or bad. Just my $.02

So, what do we think? It's probably real because EVleaks has been spot on with all their previous leaks of HTC's devices. I kind of like it and it's nice to see HTC taking a new design approach. The whole soft edged rectangle thing was getting a bit stale. It will be really cool if the display is edge-to-edge horizontally making it ultra-thin in its class. I give them credit for trying something different.

the leaked screenshots dont make it look as different from sense4 as sense4 was from sense3.6...that change was about as different as you could get

That's what I was referring to. The Rezound not getting 4.0 officially. It was a big change even one for the better kept from the consumer.

Personally I'm hoping that *AT LEAST* in a new version of Sense, that they make the UI proportionate... I run the DPI at 320 and when I flashed a rom that went back to 480 DPI, God it was ugly! Haha. Having the Digital Dreams rom, at 320 DPI... the phone truly looks beautiful and futuristic as far as the UI goes, not including the hardware itself is gorgeous.

I like it. Design wise, I'm sure HTC is gonna nail it for the M7. Are those stereo speakers or something?

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

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

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
