Apart from the different version of operating systems and RAM, is there actually much [significant] difference between these two phones?? Or have I missed something obvious?

New generation SoC with much higher performance(Cortex A15 class CPU at 28nm), better screen(high quality IPS display), better camera(hardware and software wise) and I would even risk to say that it has better overall build quality.
Maybe not much, but as a whole this is what sensation XE should have been from the start.
Ah yes, I looked a bit further into the different processor types after my first post.
I have an upgrade due and am weighing up my options.
The One S, in my opinion, seems to look better and of a better build quality than the One X. The ideal device for me would be the size, look and build of the S, with the extra performance hardware, screen res. of the X.
I'm concerned about batterylife. They put in better specs but no talk about batterylife.

From my own point of view THE advantages of the Sensation over the One-Series are
- changeable battery > can use higher capacity batteries
- presence of a sdcard > eats microsdxc 64GB
Therefore I'll stick to my beloved XE and would definitely NOT buy one of the three new Ones.
I am confused. Which is faster - HTC One S on Snapdragon S4 or it's big bro, HTC one x? Can someone explain

The HTC One S is dual core device, the HTC One X is quad core, so the One X should be faster

Sorry, but you can't just assume that because the Tegra 3 has more cores, it is faster. In most cases, the S4 > Tegra 3 CPU-wise, but the Tegra 3 > S4 GPU-wise.

I said SHOULD be faster, oh and in my opinion the GPUs are pretty similar
I have tried both of them, the One X feels faster and plays games better

Well, your post heavily implied that One X is faster than the One S because it has a quad core and that was your only reason. Also, your reply made no sense. You say the GPUs "are pretty similar" then say that the One X "plays games better."

Well because the One X has more processor power to mess around with if required
One thing I will say which I HATE is they both require a MicroSIM -.-

S4 by far is a more efficient processor than Tegra 3
HTC One X has a higher resolution screen, which means it has a tougher job to do when pushing those extra polygons around and is probably why its scoring lower in terms of processing power, plus extra resolution of the One X makes it a slightly unfair to compare it with One S.
From what I've seen and read they are very comparable in terms of performance ..supposedly the s4 is a little more responsive in day to day operations like browsing etc..but the tegra has aa slight edge in gpu performance ..the krait is built on a smaller 28 NM tech. Which sounds good to me

The increase in resolution only taxes the GPU harder. The CPU in the One S still trounces the CPU in the Tegra 3, albeit not by much. In day to day usage, you won't notice the differences in speed.
Anyone have any insight between these two phones? They have the same size screen, both quad core.. Mainly what I'm mostly concerned about is media consumption. Which will give better audio performance?
Thx

Don't assume because they are similarly spec'd they will get the same performance from their quad cores...
Unfortunately I don't know anything about the DAC on the LGOG

This has been said many times the Tegra 3 in the HTC only supports single channel memory, only comes with one gig and it's based on A9 architecture. The LG has two gigs of dual channel memory and based on A15 tech also 20 nm

Yeah, 28nm transistors on the lgog vs 40nm on the one x plus is a big deal. There are no 20nm chips in production, the closest is 22nm nand flash modules from Intel and Toshiba.

Yeah I was half asleep when I wrote that and had just been reading that story about Samsungs new 20 an 10nm ram chips But still 28nm should be allot more efficient than 40nm and the dual channel ram with double the amount is a huge difference in speed.
Its actually 22 vs 40. Overall the LGOG would seem like the superior phone in terms if gaming/media capability. But honestly your posting in an LG optimus g thread..everyone here pretty much picked this phone out of all the others. .going to be pretty one sided. Comes down to personal preference. Take a chance. Both phones are great and if you are un happy you always have the buyers remorse period.

No, its 28 vs 40. No mobile SoCs are currently 22nm.
Yeah, as a general rule if I say something regarding chip lithography you can take it as truth. I've been an integrated circuit nerd since third grade

I don't know about best performance, but I plan on picking up the LGOG today, despite the beauty of the One X+, mainly due to the larger storage capacity available through the microSD slot. The One X+ doesn't have one, and I already have a spare 64GB microSD, so that made the decision easy for me.
I picked mine up today. I've never seen a fast stock rom. This thing is nuts. I have one bright pixel so I'm going back to best buy to swap it out in the morning.
I was having this debate with myself just recently, until I unlocked the phone's bootloader with the "projectFreeGee" method and now I'm a happy LG owner again ! I can't wait for the custom ROMs, the One X+ is great right now, but with future Android updates in the upcoming two years , having 2 GB of RAM will become a must. This phone is future prof, plus it looks 10 times more elegant.

I was considering the one x+, but the snapdragon pro on the optimus g smokes the Tegra 3. If one x+ was running snapdragon, I would have bought it.

Can anyone throw some light on the battery consumption? I mean to compare the two phones, if they were running the exact same ROM.
I understand that the Optimus G CPU may have a better performance than the One X+. But which CPU is better in terms of battery consumption?

The snap Dragon is a much faster and more efficient cpu as well, it is like comparing an AMD to an Intel. This is the next level of tech, the next Tegra well probably be built on this architecture. Smaller lighter less heat produced and more energy efficient.

Hi. I am going to get a new phone, I am coming off of a Motorola Photon Q. I'm looking for a new phone and I don't really know which ones to get, I have a couple of them at the bottom. I am a moderate user. I text mildly, watch some youtube videos, etc. But I do like playing high-end games. My old Photon Q has an adreno 225, and it strains on playing MC4, around 13 FPS give or take.
The keyboard also just doesn't do much anymore and with 4 GB or storage, I can get one high-end game. -.-. I am considering these phones:
Htc One X+ - Because of good Tegra 3 clocked at 1700 and 64 GB space
Htc Droid DNA - Because of very good screen, but GPU might not be good enough for high end games? (Modern Combat, Asphalt, etc.)
Nexus 4 - Because cheap xD, GPU won't have as much strain on the lower resolution.
LG-G2 - 2300??? S800???? ADRENO330??? OF COURSE!
I haven't researched that many phones. (Only about 15 in-depth) so what is your opinion on these 4 phones? Any suggestions otherwise?
My budget is really around ~400 so the LG-G2 is like a dream haha...
Well thanks in advance!
Don't get a Tegra 3 for gaming. It's slow and it heats up.
Get a phone with a Adreno 320 GPU, they can deliver some power and are far more powerfull than a Tegra 3 with an ancient GPU.
Nexus 4 and HTC Droid DNA both have limited 16gb storage, which will become annoying.
For cheap gaming get a Oppo 5 or LG Optimus G. 32gb and adreno 320.
One X+ is perfect for everything else than gaming. Like music, 64gb and quality output.

AFAIK Droid DNA has external card slot...
I'd wait until the next HTC device comes out with a snapdragon 800 processor. Do some research into that and you'll quickly see why. I'm not talking about HTC's pianist phone the One Macs but soon after that they will have an actual phone size device with same specs. Maybe 4th quarter this year but will well worth the wait. I jumped the gun and got the one x+. Great phone for everything but gaming but if I waited just a few more months I could have gotten the HTC One that is better than Tue one x+ in every way except maybe the size of memory but 32g is more than enough for me personally. Just my input, don't rush cus a few months later a much better device will come out and you'll be like damn, should have waited.

Don't buy a Tegra-powered phone if you want to play Gameloft games (no, I'm not advertising or anything!) E.g. asphalt 7 with this phone around 15 fps. Strangely, mc4 (fun game ) hangs around 40fps! I recommend you to buy a Snapdragon phone instead.

Tegra 3 is a very inefficient chip. It just isn't meant for gaming. As others have pointed out, if you're gaming then you're much better off with an Adreno 320 or better.
I have an XL and had an amazing time with Qualcomm and now I want to upgrade to the X+ but I am worried about the gaming area. Is it better than the XL or not because the X+ has 1.7 quad core but with the nvidia chip and XL has the Qualcomm one. So I was really confused.

Ok, let's get technical shall we?
Which model cpu does ur xl have (eg snapragon xxx msmxxx)
And how much ram do you have?

In this case, upgrading to the X+ would be wasted money (my opinion). Not that it's a bad phone, i'm very satisfied with my X+. But if you really want to upgrade for gaming reasons, you probably should go for a newer phone (for example with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600/800). Tegra3 SoC (especially the GPU) isn't that strong when it comes to 3D games. Also Tegra3 is made in a 40nm process (newer ones are in 28nm already) which results in high power consumption and heat output on heavy loads.
