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.

The one x has a lot of noise in the photos why do you think there's like a 100 threads about poor photos quality

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.

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 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.

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!

AT&T is sending me a brand new LG Optimus G to resolve a customer service issue I experienced with them while trying to troubleshoot an issue, actually a few issues I was having with the phone. So, I have 14 days after it gets here to decide on if I want it or the manager handling my claim said I can contact him and he'll send me the One X+ or the Note 2 instead. Amazing service, especially since I am not being forced to re-new my contract or return my One X that I currently have. What is your opinion?
How big are you?
If you are a largish person with big hands, I'd say go for the Note 2.
I had my heart set on the Note 2 when I went to upgrade my phone. My heart sank when I held it in my hand. It was way too big for me.
So I came home with my LG OG. Can't be happier.

The Note2 is way too big for me and I had the HOX+ after having the HOX. Returned the + as it wasn't close to being the same phone as the original. It was laggy and ate battery like crazy. So I went back and exchanged it for the LGOG and I love this phone! Battery life isn't great, but I still like it better than the HOX+.

I wear XXL men's gloves and I still think the Note 2 is too big. Unless really you want the stylus (which wasn't a big deal to me), I say go with the LGOG. I've had it for a full month and it's been a great phone.

I was really close to buying the Note 2 but after playing with the LGOG...I was sold.
After playing with the LGOG I knew I made the right choice personally.
The stock software isn't given nearly enough credit anywhere on the internet.
To pretend that touchwiz, sense, or any other flavor comes close to the amount of customization this phone has on stock is well.. sad.

This is same dilemma I am in. I have 11 days left to decide but I have an unlocked international One X that has the variant 3 Tegra in it (all 4 cores can run 1.6) and I got the JB update. Each day I like this phone more and more. A few reasons...idle battery drain is amazing, speed and screen are incredible and I saw in store the 16 gig SD was able to be increased to 80 total internal and SD so I figured I would try. I do have one more line to get though...

Is there s off for One X+? I know they way they are updating the OneX to Jelly Bean is a long process with all of the different international cids. There is zero lag on my One X running JB and I am sure X+ is the same but actually I used one in an AT&T store and it was same speeds as my variant 3 One X. Then I tried it again at another store and it was much faster. There's no Sense lag on JB. I am probably going to add a 2nd line and change to family share and split between both phones

That's what I said HTC is not real unlock bootloader, you still have to flash fastboot cmd. There is real unlock bootloader for X+ but need extra hardware and gold card cost extra money , currently only few knows how to do it. Not software not software hack like LGOG.

Hrmm,
I honestly would go with the Optimus G.
Optimus G Pros Vs Htc one X+
-snapdragon s4 pro versus tegra 3 ( s4 pro is 24nm as opposed to tegra 3 40nm) smaller which equals more efficient(also newer)
- light skinned UI vs htc sense
- in terms of aesthetics I think optimus g is better overall. extremely sleek!
-newer better battery I think its lithium ion polymer vs lithium ion
I'm getting my first smartphone via the FedEx man in two days and it's an HTC One X+.
I was seriously considering the LG OG, but, I've not yet had a chance to play with either phone. I ordered mine via walmart wireless, because I was able to get the One x+ for $150 with a $100 wal-mart gift card.
Reading this stuff though, I think I owe it to myself to head over to the AT&T store and check out the LG OG. I can always return the X+ and go the LG OG route. My only concern about the LG OG is that I play a lot of games on my phone and the lack of 'Tegra Zone' games is a bit of an issue. Although, I'm not sure I can name 1 Tegra title that I just HAVE to have.
I briefly owned a Nexus 7 but had to return it due to a hardware fault. If only I could look unto the future with a crystal ball and see what kinds of games are going to be coming out in 6 months, lol. That is what I really need to know!
Anyways, sorry to be so long winded, it's my first post so I can't help it. Only 9 more to go until I make an a$$ of myself in development chat! Yay!
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.

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.

Here is a review from one of OneX+ users, it's pretty detailed too

The only reason I would get the HOX is because it's available right now. If you can wait and want the latest and greatest then get the butterfly.

HOX+ is great with some customization it may be the best smartphone now available with an average battery life for completing the day with lots of calls and playing
The butterfly is like the HOX+ amazing specs and performance but you might be a bit worried from its battery
Sent from my ONE X+ using XDA premium
specs almost the same, the only spec i like in the butterfly over HOX+ is the 2GB ram and expandable
The butterfly have seem hardware nexus 4 cpu quad core 1.5 krait with adreno 320 better performance...the battery best onex+
i was out in the malls few days ago and decided to check if they have the butterfly available already. i was pretty scared that time since i just got my hox+ 2weeks ago and i might like it and it cost the same. well they did have it already and the screen is big its longer like the S3. them being good sales people they hand me one to play around. fortunately i did, its not as comfortable as the HOX+. the back is glossy so its a bit slippery and the back is rounded.
the screen for me is too big. and i dont like the feel of it in my hand plus they only have the red version.. but yeah the 2gb ram is nice.

HTC J Butterfly from Japan is simply called HTC Droid DNA in North America.

There is a difference between DNA and J butterfly, huge difference. It's presence a sd card slot in butterfly
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.

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.
