Hi
HTC are holding a press conference on the 19th Sept regarding two new handsets, the Android One X+ and a Windows 8 phone.
Any news on a release date for the One X+ in the UK.
Thanks

Hi
Yea but these press conferences seems to bang on about US release dates and trying to find out about UK dates is a nightmare, the HTC website never tells you anything and mobile providers like carfone warehouse are always the last to know.
I was just looking around this afternoon and came across the news of a new One X, called the One X+, and with my old contract up on Thursday I'm glad I saw the new One X+ due for release, I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to upgrade my HTC Desire HD.
I was going to buy the Flyer when it was first released but held off because I didn't want to use it (note taking) like the Samsung Galaxy Note, and for me the flyer is a tad too small as a tablet. I have the Acer A700 now - never looked back.
I shall watch and search for interest on the 19th news of a UK release date for the One X+
NEW HTC Flyer to be released, search for pocket-lint in google.
Cheers.

One X+ might be just for US though...Since they do not have the quadcore version they might be just getting that...But time will tell. Regarding tablets just wanna have the best of both worlds and might be going for the ipad...we shall see though..and the one x at the moment is a great phone even with the new upgrade if it becomes worldwide available..still do not get the logic if it does and it is an upgrade for the current one x...thought they will not be releasing so many models in a calendar year...but if it is a phablet then i would say would be a great upgrade for you mate

Um... better had be because I've already bought a new car dock, extended battery case to boost to 2000mAh, new Krussel case and many others etc and wanna have a play with NFC tags too.
Sorry - my first time on here and forums in general - can't seem to get the quote marks in the right place, whoops!
The leaked One X+ RUU that football already has is actually for Europe so I would expect it to be announced soon for Europe as well

X+ is an upgrade to the X with better specs. Nothin' too groundbreaking, though.

Why would they?
Sell it on eBay if you want a slightly newer phone already.
important hoping it is just a minor upgrade. i would prefer HTC not to make it 5" because it might as well be 4.7 not much different. if t is 5.5" then it won't seem as if the one x is outdated because it is a different category of device. hoping it is a sensation to sensation xe upgrade

The big change will be the LTE connectivity, something the One X doesn't have in it's T3 variant.

They rushed out the T3 One X and in good faith, customers that want a T3 One X with LTE shouldn't have to fork out full wack. Besides, even Apple subsidise their upgrades.

Apple are looking for and can afford (due to the app store) customer lock in.
HTC does not have this additional revenue stream.
If you wanted a phone with feature X, buy a phone with feature X. Damn, these days people feel so entitled to everything. Get a job and pay for it, rather than expecting everything for free and complaining when you don't.
There will be no trade in, they don't need to do this. 4G is only just about to start in the UK so obviously the One X didn't cater for that as the technology wasn't available in the UK at that time. If you need 4G then sell your One X and fund it towards the One X+.

You're gonna need a hand to get down off that high horse of yours. Don't act a twit. No one mentioned anything about a free phone swap. What was mentioned was a subsidised trade-in. i.e. I pay a £100 plus my HOX and get a HOX+. Hardly unreasonable.

Of course it's unreasonable. If you go to work one day and the boss pays you, you don't expect him to take 80% of that wage off you when you work the next day.
HTC are running a business not a charity designed to enable the world with the latest smartphone.
Sell the old phone and buy the new one. HTC are hardly required to deal with the second hand market. They don't have a retail presence strong enough for it for a start.

What you're saying doesn't even make sense in the real world. Apple lock people into the iPhone with subsidies. As such Samsung offered subsidies at the Samsung store with users upgrading from the GS2 to the GS3. You do understand about locking your users into a brand right. It's better to get some money now rather than risk losing them all together when their contract is up. You build a premium by incentiviseing a purchase. The more people to have a phone a phone, the stronger your brand.

As a Fascinate user, was planning on getting the Bionic as I was at first disapointed with Samsung's lack of support, issues, etc. But the screen, codecs, weight, and such all won me over, and I can't wait to get the SGSII. Hopefully its coming to Verizon with an Exynos processor and Mali GPU.....
How bout everyone else?

I think most of the people who have posted on SII subforum will be getting it.
Though if its delayed some might switch to a phone thats already out or wait and see what the iPhone5 brings to the table (which i will be doing if it doesnt come out this month or early May.

I am still not sure{using N1 for close to 14months now},will decide depending on how well HTC Sensation turns out{announcement might come on 12th April}
LG Optimus 2X{already available here & is surprisingly cheaper than SE Xperia Arc & Xperia Play} vs SGS 2 vs HTC Sensation will be my choices.But right now my first preference will be HTC Sensation{aka HTC Pyramid}
I can upgrade any time I want to, so I can't wait to buy it when it comes out! I was a bit disappointed with the Tegra2, so right now is a good time to see the other dual cores coming out.
Oh, and the fact that Galaxy phones are made in Korea makes me swell with pride, so that's another factor in buying the SGSII.

I was an early adopter for the original SGS and got slightly burnt by the annoying lag with Samsung's official ROM. Luckily there are some great people on XDA and a lot of effort has gone into creating a much better custom ROM.
Although everything about the SGS2 sounds great, I think I'll hang back by a month or two until I've ready the initial reviews and customer experiences (hopefully benefit from a reduced price from the original launch price).
I'm definitely getting one, to replace a rather old Sanyo SCP-8400. I've had the SGS2 on pre-order since March 18...
I've also preordered mine on Amazon.de. I trust the xda devs will come through, as they most often do.
Cant wait to buy SGS2..
I cant stand Slamsung in my home but theres no way i can turn down this phone and buy something else...Samsung is nr 1 2011...No doubt.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but HTC Sensation specs aren't better than SGS2, even though it's been announced after SGS2... Where is the NFC, for example ? What's really unique in Sensation? SGS2 has some cool gyroscope functions, for example.
Ill certainly be getting this device WHEN its launched......

Supposedly an announcement will be made in less than 20 hours. In either case, it's widely speculated that Samsung will unveil their new phone in the beginning of May (I think the 3rd?) with more details, so I'd wait until getting specifications on that.
If you need a phone right away, I'd probably suggest the HTC One X. It has the best screen available, a good processor, and HTC will supposedly give it proper attention and support for the foreseeable future.

If they did make this 2gb of ram I'd buy it the second it landed in USA for AT&T! Since its only 1gb and on all new software, going to need a lot of hands on to see what actual usable ram is available and how smooth it runs with a handful of apps in the background. For such an impressive specs, seeing only 1gb listed makes you look twice as if it was hopefully a typo am suppose to be 2gb of ram. Guess well see soon enough.

That will probably be the next iteration of the One X. The one initially coming out will have only 1 GB of RAM unless HTC has managed to keep a secret locked down tighter than the CIA! I figure we'll see a One X+ w/ 2GB RAM in about 6 months.

Yes, they will most probably hijack their flagship again in 6 month!!! WTF!!!!!
The ONE X was released in may, 5 month later the ONE X+ comes out!!!!!!!
The same happened also with the sensation/sensation XE!!!!!!
If they want to keep us HTC fans happy they'll better be releasing ONE strong flagship model per year and the appropiate support for it for at least one and a half years!!!!!!
look at the galaxy s2 - it has been released in one year and 6 month ago, but samsung still offering appropiate support for it! - JB updates and so on will come till end of the year!!!
Take the sensation XE - released one year ago - already forgotten!! Jelly Bean??? from HTC??? of course not....
Your devices are very good>
smooth design, best sound, sense is the smoothest and most beautiful (compared to touchwiz and all that crap), very good specs,
BUT!!!!!!!
Your marketing strategy is CRAP HTC!!!!!!! You'll get bancrupt in less than 2 years if you don't change this pretty quick....
Your name will be next to brands like alcatel and toshiba in the phone industry if you don't do something about it....
and keeping your clients happy is way more important that the device itself.... and this is what you are neglecting......

LOL, good joke.
The One X+ and One X are identical. Maybe you never noticed, but Sensation and Sensation XE are getting the exact same amount of support.
Two flagships a year is fine, especially when the two in a year are nearly identical. The One X+ is just for people that don't want to take a gamble on buying a One X, especially when they could get an HT23 model or something similar that would likely have a massive number of defects.
In your eyes, HTC is "going bancrupt" no matter what. Either they don't release the One X+, and the One X sucks compared to the GS3 and every other smartphone out there. If they do release the One X+, they release a phone on par with everything else... and suck anyways, because they're "abandoning the older models", even though they will get the exact same amount of support.
Consider this before buying. No flame intented. I simply was planning to get one myself then changed my mind.

I'm quite happy with Android 4.1, so I guess it depends what KLP brings, but it's hard to imagine Google bringing anything that would make me want to abandon HTC's awesome camera software (which is one of the reasons I personally prefer HTC phones).
I bought a One XL last year around the same time, and Google I/O didn't make me regret that decision. Besides, this time I'll have a One XL I can mess around with if I want to install CM11 or something.

Precisely. Personally, I feel HTC is on the brink of a huge change, they've already dropped the source code and the phone hasn't even shipped in US yet! Also, it will definitely help to have the same device across several carriers (Even international ones!)
I feel the winds of change wafting from HTC and I must say, I love it.

I am definitely super-excited that the international and NA versions of the HTC One use the same chipset - that was one of the big issues with the One X and One XL last year.

Not to be the voice of doom or piss in anyone's Cheerios but HTC's in a world of hurt. The shipping delay for the One's cost them dearly financially and now its actual availability is going to bump up against Samsung's gazillion dollar marketing budget for the SGS4. Samsung also co-ops heavily with the U.S. carriers for advertising and provides big sales incentives down to the associate level. And if you walk in to a Best Buy you'll be greeted by Samsung's "Experience" sound and light show while a dummy One sits lonely and tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a "free" LG Phone. With a Nexus 5 possible at I/O, an iP5s and lower-cost iPhone in June, Motorola's "Phone X," a Note III, and LG's 1080P 5" and 5.5" Optimus Pro Plus' all due by fall, the One's going to get lost in a sea of other devices a few months after launch because of HTC's (now even more) limited promotional budget. They have a tough road to hoe and 2013 will determine their future.

Hmm I just sold my Nexus 4 because I never ever used it. It was never a real upgrade from the Galaxy Nexusnif you ask me. Adding a new processor and 1 extra GB of ram n a shiny back doesn't wow me

At least the writer is still getting the HTC one. Lol
Anyways there's always a new os comming out at io. A new nexus 5 ? Nah that's this fall.
A new nexus 7? Yes. Google glass? Yes.
Thew question is will HTC upgrade to 4.2 to 5.0 or from 4.1 to 5.0?

I believe they will, considering this is HTC's flagship phone.
This is an easy one for me. I'll just keep my Nexus 4 around until I/O. If what Google shows at I/O wows me and I can get it on the Nexus 4, I'll consider selling the One, but DAMN, it would have to be some mind blowing software for me to give up such amazing hardware and go back to a slower processor, worse screen, worse camera, worse speaker, cheaper materials, and no LTE.

It will be. It is 5.0
Got me thinking...
Whole argument is stupid in my opinion. It's clearly cut black and white. If you want immediate updates to current version of android go for a nexus. If you want real hardware get the HTC One. Unless HTC builds a nexus the new one won't be special.
I don't know why people buy carrier subsidized phones then complain when it stays a version behind. The phone company is there to make money. Put on your big boy pants and go nexus or shut up about it. It's really that simple

It must hurt you knowing your $600 phone will be 2 versions behind in only one month since it came out

My point still stands. It's a phone, not a liver or heart that you have no choice on. My point is why ***** and moan about it when you yourself can do something about it and go elsewhere

And you think that someone will make that decision for you? Read technical parameters of those phones, ask yourself "what do I need from it" and decide!
I know there specs.... Just wanted to know what people suggest to buy after using one x plus.... What's the problem in asking suggestions.!

I have a One X+ & my wife has the SGS3. Both are excellent phones with similar battery life but my personal preference is for Sense over Touchwizz. Others will no doubt disagree. What I can tell you is whichever phone you choose you will not be disappointed.
You'll probably get a better deal from your network on an X+ though just because of the Samsung hype.

I'm one that likes Touchwiz over Sense but still bought the X+ cause of the tegra cpu, wanted to play thd games, lol, also i have no ideea why but I used a S3 for a kinda long time and can't really say i like the way it is built cause i feel like it could slip from my hand in any moment, and it also feels too fragile and in my opinion the borders are kinda big, but if I'd be to recommend one of them for software i would say S3 cause we have no s-off on the X+ and also not many non-sense roms, and some of them are outdated also, also an other + for s3 is that as much as i would play with it it won't heat like the X+ does, but also the battery drains faster in games than on the X+, so yah for the op, it's more of a preferance thing, cause at the hardware part they are preety close......but they do behave different.....also what i forgot to say is i feel like in 3d games the X+ has much much better colors.....but for someone not useing it for games that is useless....
I love the One X + and would prefer to keep that.
I would suggest to have a look at Nexus 4 which could be of the same price levels or even better wait for a month and look at the new Nexus 4 which might be available by may.
On an the other context of a modern hardware, it is preferable to choose the latest generation hardware. The processor in One X+ and SGS 3 are definitely outdated on date
I bought the One X+ because of the 64 GB of storage. It also has no problems with .mkv files over 4 GB unlike most other phones.
I had the same doubt chose the HTC, just because i liked it more overall, also much better looking.
I had the same choice back in November. FWIW I'm on AT&T here in the US. I ended up with the HOX+ over the SGIII mostly based on just the feel in my hands. I prefer the more solid build of the HOX+ to the flimsier plastic on the SGIII. I'd still probably stick with that reasoning over the SG4 which just came out.
As for the Nexus 4, I chose the HOX+ mostly for storage and LTE. Although, looking back, I may have sprung for the Nexus 4 if I could do it again. The decrease in storage I'd deal with for the opportunity to run some AOSP, PA, and other original ROMs instead of just Sense based ones. In general, I'd probably go back and pick a phone with more developer activity than the HOX+. We have some excellent devs, like Lloir and solomon working on AOSP for the HOX+, but they are running into some roadblocks with the LTE radio. So in general, if dev support on XDA is important to you, and you'd like more than just Sense-based ROMS, i'd stay away from the HOX+.
If they release an updated Nexus 4 with LTE and 32GB storage, I'll probably sell my HOX+ and buy one.

Also, is there a reason you don't want the HTC One? Better screen, can get just as much storage, already getting great dev support, Ultrapixel camera, rave reviews...unless price is an issue there's not much reason to go with an HOX+ at this point.

When I started searching the models, the first thing I did was to check custom roms for Nexus 4, S3 and X+ LOL
Ofcousre for me it matters. :laugh:
Moreover to be honest I left the thought of Nexus just for its internal space with no sd slot .....seriously sad for such a awesome device
Do you have any news for upcoming Nexus 4 with 32 gb?? I don't think they would ....atleast after the news for Nexus 5
Actually the reason for HTC one is price only :laugh: I can't afford that much.....news say it starts at 45k
