Hi all. Engadget has just released their review of One X+. Just wanted to share.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/31/htc-one-x-plus-review/
They basically say;
- Sense has improved and runs a bit smoother.
- Front camera has drastically improved.
- Battery life is same as One X.
- There is only one color option which is black matte.
- Photo and video quality is same as One X and they think it lags behind the competition.
- The processor is faster and it shows itself in real world usage.
- Camera lens is still prone to scratch.
- Taking photos is even faster.
- Volume is significantly higher with Beats Audio enabled.
and so on...
So basically not really worth upgrading once the one x receives jelly bean?

It's a personal preference. It brings faster performance, 64 GB storage, probably less problematic hardware than One X (remember wifi, screen problems of One X) and more.. They just say if it was using S4 Pro it would have had better battery life but still it's a lovely phone.

I agree, but with phones like the nexus 4, Galaxy S3 and note 2, I don't know if this is worth it.
Sad info about battery. :/

I would buy One X or One X+ only if I like Sense. Well, I do but I couldn't buy One X since it had hardware issues when I was looking for. Maybe HTC solved these issues, we will see but right now if I had a solid One X without problems, I wouldn't buy One X+. If I had GS3, I would still buy it because missed Sense as I'm using GN right now.

I was strongly considering the one x+ but with the nexus 4 specs and price, an the one x+ Engadget review, I gotta go nexus 4.
After reading the review I made my mind clear. Will get a Asus Tabfone 2!

I mostly agree with you.. but the limited 16 GB of space in the nexus 4 makes the phone almost impossible to use in this digital world..

For me it was easy to chose the X+ cause i was allowed, to swap my x instead.. I just can say it feels a lot better, it seams it is perfectly built. The speaker is so much better! And the back feels real good with this Rubber coat. It isnt, slippy anymore so less drops will happen. HTC did a real quality move this time!

Good to hear. Could you please check if the screen ripple issue is sorted out like in this video?
Only the Engadget review (I rarely trust them), said the battery life hasn't improved.

Btw, almost all of the reviewers say battery life has significantly improved. I have no idea why Engadget said that.

I think it's, better, too.. But if you want disable the energy, saver, it's, just slightly better than the X... With enabled batterysaver, it's, a big improvement.

Having used the HTC Desire HD (Also known as Sensation) on TMobile UK. I really like the design and reliability of HTC devices. Looking forward to see how this device stacks up. I do like that JB is included out-of-the-box. AT&T is releasing it in the USA but I hope TMobile now called EE will release it soon

I am planning to get a new phone and i cannot decide between the One X+ (international ver.) and the LG Nexus 4 (N4).
I want:
Extremely Smooth.
A nice UI (User Interface) to brag about.
A future proofed phone
Hard Gaming
Downloading - Wifi g/b/n optional /a
Above average battery life - lasts a day or more.
And lastly, i will not root my phone as soon as i get it - but i might think about it. But, it may be unlikely.
For:
I would get a N4. but, i hate the fact that i would not be able to get HTC's awesome widgets. - Weather...
The N4 is basically similar to Apex Launcher.
Against:
I am getting tired of the sense interface. It is very similar to Gingerbread. - which makes it kind of boring.
Nexus has the new gen specs - flagship processor, 2GB Ram..
I am actually happy with my current HTC Desire Z - rooted with ELITEMOD. But the thing which annoys me a lot is the battery life - 7-8 hours minimal use - no games.
Other phone suggestions are welcome. Not LG, GS3, iPhone.
PS. I like touchwiz, but the SGS3 is not a option.
I dislike the name LG, so it is not a option - Yes i am picky. With a exception for the Nexus series.
...A decently new phone which WILL get the Jellybean update.
Update:
If you are reading this in 2013, I recommend getting the HTC M7, Nexus 7, or if you are in the main stream get the S4, or the New Samsung Galaxy Note (not the note 2).
Rumours say the M7 n the new galaxy note will have a camera which is above 10 megapixels. Rumours also say the HTC M7 will have a tegra 4 processor.

How about the Razr HD Maxx?
3300mAh battery, so plenty for extended gaming sessions, and it is due to get Jellybean very soon. Might not be cutting edge enough on the specs front though with only a dual core S4 & 1gb ram.
I've only had my One X+ for 8 days and haven't done much gaming to be honest, but I have noticed that extended periods of browsing can chew through the battery, so gaming would run it down even quicker ( depending on your screen brightness level I suppose )
Tbh if the Razr had an lcd / ips screen I would have one now instead of the One X+ as I hate amoled screens. That was the only thing that stopped me picking one up.

For me it's how they can over saturate the colours, and that whites can look more of a grey / blue colour than proper white. You do get deeper blacks with an amoled screen though.
It doesn't bother most people to be honest, and a lot of people like the over saturated look, but I personally prefer the more natural image quality & colours of a good lcd / ips screen.

Does the Nexus 4 have wifi hotspot, HSDPA+ (4G), and duel band (2.4ghz and 5ghz) wifi?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
HTC one X+
1.7ghz Quad
Amazing SLCD 2 "best display on the market"
Jellybean 4.1 with sense 4+ on top.
8mp image sense camera (dedicated processing chip)
64GB Memory, 55 available to the user.
Nexus 4
1.5ghz quad
Decent 720p display
Mediocre camera
Very fragile glass back
32 or 16 GB memory.
Idk why you ask when the specs are all over xda. I mean the nexus 4 will be smoother, and sense is too in your face, but I'd go with the HOX+. Sorry Google, but HTC has probably the best build quality for its phones out there, no argument can be made. Samsung and just about every other manufacturer uses plastics that make the device feel cheap.

Just to chime in
I've been kicking around the same decision re: Nexus 4 vs HOX+. Having a Nexus 7, I love the look of stock Jellybean. Not a fan of the Sense Graphics/Themes and find the look dated (as mentioned in this thread already). If there was a foolproof way to install AOSP on the HOX+ and get the Google OTA updates, that would make my decision for me. If anyone knows of this option, I'm all ears.
Not to hijack the thread or anything. If I have to start a new one, I will. But since the OP original decision making process may require this info (really reaching here) then it could be answered without a new thread subject.
On another note, the reason for my leaning to the OneX+ is: Design: the feel of this phone in the hand is second bar none. Screen: Superb. Storage: Huge and therefore, lack of SD not a concern. Second Iteration: the kinks have been worked out of its construction, quality appears very good. Camera: One of the best 8mp on a smartphone with good camera software to boot.
Negative: Software: UI Design looks old, less sophisticated to my eyes. Updates: with stock Sense 4+ they will be slow and most likely stop before updates stop rolling out for the Nexus 4 stock.
Get the HOX+ its a no brainer really!!!!! Its the best device out right now!!! Even better than the DNA. I just got mine today, coming from a HTC ONE X, this phone is perfect. Its got 64gb of storage, jb, and sense......what else could a guy want?!!!! Its the perfect device in my mind.

+1 zound knows better by the way, zound how's the overall shift to X+? :thumbup:
looking at buying either the One X+ or the X
I can get the X for $0.98 on 2 year contract at Sams Club, and the cheapest I can find the X+ is at Amazon for $129
Is the X+ worth 128 dollars in addition?
I know that the X+ has an updated version of sense, but I can't tell readily, is the software of the X+ available as a custom ROM yet for the X?
I don't use a lot of phone memory to store videos or audio, so the 64 GB doesn't seem like a deal breaker to me
I mainly use my phone for taking photos
Yes the one x+ is worth it also if you mainly take photos, I recommend you buying a gs3, photos are way better on gs3

The camera on the s3 better than the one x+?
I find that hard to believe. I just returned my s3 on T-Mobile...and kept this phone.

I thought i would never use 64gb either, guess again with this android device! On my iphone 4 i used maybe 15gb total. On this device, same songs, same photos, about 6gb worth of games and maybe 20 small apps, this device says i'm currently using 24gb of space! WTF, really??? I can only account for maybe 17gb on my part, guess the android phone installed already sucks up the difference. So really it's a 56gb device out of the box, lol!
I have both phones, paid 200$ each love both but I gotta say the x+ is a lot faster and battery life is much improved, one x+ is what the xl should have been but one xl is still a great choice if ur on a budget. But if not go for the x+

Let's not forget to mention that the One X has a dual core processor and the One X+ has a quad core. That in itself makes a huge difference.

I just never understood a reason to go backwards? If something twice as good is available and for only $100 more or so, yeah i'm going for it. I paid the full $199 + tax at the ATT store for mine and don't regret one penny spent. Never once did the original One X cross my mind, lol! I wouldn't go from the iPhone 4 to the 4s because it's $100 cheaper than the 5, lol!

If you don't mind waiting i'd personally hold out another 3 months or so. Either by then all the bugs will be worked out of the current X+ device and might even be cheaper for you. Also the new wave of first quarter phones will be out from HTC including this M7 device they are claiming to be the new flagship (seems every release is their new flagship phone, LOL). The M7 might blow the X+ out of the water or it might be born with bugs just like the X+ currently has. Again though by this time you have more options versus jumping the gun now. Coming from a jailbroken iPhone 4 though i can say this phone is pretty damn amazing bro! If they can just fix this camera low light issue, bluetooth issue, and HTC figuring out how the hell to make these 4 quads actually work together to play games and what not, this device would be flawless. All 3 of these bugs are very very minor too and probably will all be fixed soon by the amazing people here, who knows? I just know i don't regret one second owning this phone.

So far not blown away by this device. Blink is a bit limited. I think I prefer flipboard or scope. Havent really played with the camera yet, will do this weekend. Performance is really not much better than the hox. I'll use this for the week I guess and see comparisons between this and the sgs4. This screen is smaller than the nexus 4 also, some apps look smaller. I think the sgs4 will have a bigger screen and similar remote control? Anyone else not super impressed thus far?
Not too impressed with mine either. Buttons are absolutely horrible, build quality isn't blowing me away either. Might stay with my nexus 4 and it's sane button arrangement

Yea nexus 4 screen isnt its weakest con. I think the battery and camera are worse. But I'm surprised how good the remote control worked better than my 3 remote controls I usually have to use. That note2 was a little too big and heavy but its next iteration I heard may be aluminum. It may be worth waiting for that.

It seems a few of us disagree with you.
the phone is great but i feel that sense slows it down =/ i got my phone today renewed my contract with an early upgrade paid almost 500, and now im slightly regretting it.
Shouldn't be stuck on stock Sense for long. I think once someone gets an AOSP-based 4.2 ROM up and running smoothly the One will be good to go.
Here's to hoping the so-called bootloader blunder will continue for a while to attract some good developers. If HTC shuts it down then this device will more or less suck compared to Nexus 4. ( just my opinion, AOSP > all OEM skins and is more important (to me) than hardware specs)

I'm usually the first one to criticize Sense, but I haven't felt like it's slowing down this phone at all. There's the occasional jerky animation, usually just when adding widgets in the launcher, but that's about it.

Coming from an HTC One S, I've been using HTC phones exclusively since the T-Mobile Shadow like 8 years ago lol. Been on XDA for a while, excited to check out a new corner of the forums.
Welcome. Phone is awesome. I love it more with my iblason battery case.

That was supposed to say "Just got MY ONE today..." LOL.
But now, it was yesterday.
I have failed myself.
It is a great phone! Congrats!
Awesome! I got mine yesterday!!!!

I also just found out yesterday about HTC killing off the One S. Didn't know about that when I sold mine, but now I don't regret it one bit! The commercials were totally right, this phone is everything my phone wasn't. I LOVED my One S, but the ONE is absolutely incredible.
Htc updated the international model to 4.2.2 but knowing HTC it wont be long this phone will quit having updates from htc and if it does it will be year later. I used like HTC when I had the Sensation but after owning the Amaze I became very disappointed with them. Lack of support and dev support were just or worst than LG. But I did played with the One and the S4 side by side and like both. Like there are stuff I like about the one just are there stuff I like about the s4. But I know that Samsung has become very loyal with updates and support. Although back when I had the sensation I hated samsung because of the way they treated vibrant owners

Honestly I am not too worried about getting timely updates. I like the phone the way it is. If I wanted to make sure I got updates quickly, I would have stuck with my Nexus 4 which is an inferior phone to the One.
Its not just about updates!!!!!! Its about proper drivers to new sense and android to make new roms!!! Otherwise CM roms will always be buggy.

Why did you choose One over S4? Just curious cause I just got back from my vacation and still undecided. Cam on S4 is better than the One.

And by 'better', you mean what exactly?
Because I would disagree with that statement.

By better he means 13MP than 4MP with a bigger block for more light. I played with both phones today and the s4 beats it one on day light where you will be using the camera 90% at time. Also S4 low light feature is not bad.. But when HTC comes out with a new Sense version is sad but they will not put it on the one. just like they did with the rest of their devices.. The only reason I would get the one if for something different. I've been jumping back and forward with samsung and htc.. Now LG is another story, I wont be spending my money with them because they dont have good support.

Overall, the camera is better in the s4 than the One. I've played with two sets of demos of each phone and tested the cameras side byside inside the tmobile stores. My findings were, the One had problems focusing on targets that the s4 didn't, also the the One pictures are not as clear and detailed as the s4 in both distant and macro shots. The one most definitely has a slight advantage over the s4 regarding low light shooting, but when it comes to the average user everyday use, you'll be shooting in good to decent lighting and you'll want good sharp detailed photos from them!
I'm just sayin

Having always had Samsung phones and loving them till s3 with all of the bloat, I was really thrown off by touchwiz. It is too bulky and feels laggy, not to mention it makes interface plain ugly. To me, every app on htc one makes android more appealing, while s4 does opposite. I ended up rooting and putting 4.2.2 on my HTC one with elemental x kernel and ordroid Rom... My god... This thing flies, and battery easily outperforms any device I've seen.

Hey guys and gals, I have about 2 hours to make up my mind. I know this is almost pointless to ask on the HTC One forum, but I will anyways lol.
I just signed up to AT&T about a month ago and chose the S4 at that time. I have been going back and forth and toying with the idea of getting a One.
There is a guy locally who wants to do a straight trade with me. What do you guys think? What would I gain with the One that I don't have with the S4?
Thanks!

I have had my One for a couple weeks and I'm coming from an S3. The only things bothering are can't remove the battery and no MicroSd. I'm quickly realizing that I don't need to carry around my entire music library on the card, but having to annoyingly plug in sometimes 2x a day isn't going away. The speaker in front are awesome as well as the metal body. I don't know if I'll trade it in, but as of now I'm liking this phone a lot.
Thanks for the info. I went and checked it out and backed out of the deal. I don't think I would ever be able to get over the button placement, rooted or not. And the feel of the buttons was not fun either. And the notification led was a joke. They may as well not even put one. For some reason I really rely on the s4 one lol.
For now I'm sticking with the s4 but I will update this thread if I change my mind.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
After using quite a few Android devices, the button placement didnt take long to get used to at all personally. Plus I really dont like having a physical button to press at all, thats just another moving part. The S4 is decent but theres way to much Samsung crap installed on it that gets used a few times, then forgotten about as well. Sure I could root it and install GE roms or what have you, im just very partial towards HTC myself over Samsung. A company that has its back against the wall is more likely to pump out a quality high end device to try to win back its market share, and the One is a perfect showing of that as opposed to Samsungs "blanket the market with alot of devices" approach
Either way, the One and the S4 are the TOP of the line at the moment, and you really cant go wrong with either.
Get a Moto X. You will never look back.

Lol. I played with the X in a store and thought it was a joke. Flimsy feeling build quality, horrific camera and vanilla Android with a couple extra features.
If I wanted that I would get a nexus 4 for much cheaper. Except it has much better build quality.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
The X is faster than any phone (I have all of them). Excellent build quality. Active notifications, touch free, Motorola Connect, best battery on any phone (actual use) and fastest (even faster than my Z Ultra with quad core 1.9ghz).

Other than a few extra software features, what does it have over the nexus 4 which is much, much cheaper off contract? I understand the nexus doesn't have LTE, but the Moto X is extremely overpriced for what it is. It felt like a toy in my hand, I don't understand where you get excellent build quality from.
And there is already a free app in the play store that does active notifications. Even though I don't currently own it, the One blows the X away. Just my opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Yeah I thought the One was good until I got the X. It has separate processors to handle the touch free (if you installed that free app your battery would die in an hour). I thought the X would suck be caused of specs. I buy every new phone an d compare them. I hated the Nexus 4 so no comparison. Terrible battery, felt weird in the hand, wireless charging was good. The new X has a crazy good feel in the hand. And those software add ons are huge.

The camera is great on my One and Zoe rocks. But I always hated holding the phone for long. The edges dig into your ha ds and phone is huge for 4.7 screen.

I'd love to have a Moto X honestly but it is overpriced for what it offers and the One is just a superior device all around

The Moto x is nice but not better or faster then the One period
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
The moto X is an overpriced joke. The One and S4 still are better. With the LG G2, HTC One Maxx and Note 3 coming...the moto X is pointless. I believe the Nexus 5 will be announced by end of this year.

I went from a s4 to the HTC one and I'm glad I did the s4 is a s3 with a bunch of stuff crammed in it the phone was rushed I think that the s3 was better I didn't get that wow factor or that I got a new phone so I can't put it down whith the s4 if you come across that trade later down the road take it the HTC one is the better phone this year and I had all the samsung phones all the way back to the samsung nexus I think they drop the ball this year

I think if they skipped the whole made in America thing the phone would be priced at 99 and be worth the money

Have a moto x and HTC one from Att been using HTC one as daily driver for about 5 weeks paid 199 for it got the moto x for free through a friend that works for Att last Friday and they are both brilliant devices with their on separate charms and personality with that said I find myself using the moto x more and more its just as fast as HTC one and feels more comfortable in the hand its a very good device for everyday use it is better than s4 I had and I think better than my beautiful highly speced HTC one but that is just my opinion from using both I don't think moto x will be a hit because people look at specs and price at the expense of user experience. Get a moto x give it try might be surprised as I was.

With the Moto X having a 720p display instead of a 1080p like the HTC One or GS4 I would hope it feels fast. It doesn't have to push all those extra pixels. But even with the higher resolution display the HTC One is smooth too. The build and speakers are a nice plus.
Still stock and loving it. If I ever get bored I will just root and flash something else.
Sent from my HTC One
To say the HTC One is faster and never used the X is just stupid. I am not a fan boy and love my One. I am just telling you facts. When the Note 3 comes out with the 2.1 or 2.3 quad core, it will run same as X. My Xperia Z Ultra has a 1.9 quad core and is slower than X. Moto has 2 separate processors on top of its dual core processor to handle information. It will be the sleeper hit of the year. It's first Android phone that is as fast as an iPhone.
