HTC ONE X REVIEW

Design

Dimensions 134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm (5.29 x 2.75 x 0.35 in)
Weight 130 g (4.59 oz)

One X is a large phone but quite balanced in the hand. Its thin
chassis and sleek design is amazing. The exquisite physical keys on
the front makes the phone more convenient. Its presence in the pocket
is almost unfelt.

One X will be a struggle to people with small hands. The power button
on top is pretty hard to hit. The white version can easily get smudges
in just a few hours.


Display/Screen

Super IPS LCD2 capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors

Size 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.7 inches (~312 ppi pixel density)

Protection Corning Gorilla Glass

The One X 4.7" screen is one of its best features. The web pages look
great on the enormous screen even on full zoom.

The life-like images on movies and games are due to the technology of
the Super IPS LCD 2. Bad thing is, it struggles on low-light scene.


Processor

Operating System Android OS v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), upgradable to
v4.1.1 (Jelly Bean)

Chipset Nvidia Tegra 3

CPU Quad-core 1.5 GHz

GPU ULP GeForce

Sensors Accelerometer / gyro / proximity / compass

Speed

The One X has quick speed on loading websites, provided by the best
processor. Internet browsing experience is great.

There is just a bit idle time in switching between sites.

Opening of application is easy, thanks to the powerful processor.


Memory

Internal 16/32 GB (26 GB user available) 1 GB RAM

It's just inconvenient to not have a micro-sd slot.

Camera

Primary 8 MP / 3264x2448 pixels / autofocus / LED flash

Secondary 1.3 MP, 720p

Features
Simultaneous HD video and image recording / face and smile detection /
geo-tagging

The auto focus along with the white balance works well together to
provide the best picture. The colour and sharpness settings help
improve the quality of the picture.

The simultaneous film and photograph feature is great.

It doesn't provide the best quality of pictures, the HDR mode even
blurs quite easy.

Video

1080p@24fps /stereo sound recorder / video stabilization

The video quality is good enough on phone.

The video shown on bigger screen is a bit unclear. The recorded sound is poor.


Movie Playback

The One X is awesome for watching movies. The sharpness on the screen
and the rich colours, together with Beats Audio provide an awesome
video quality that you want to watch.


Audio

It's audio performance is superb. The earpiece and the loudspeaker
provide clear loud sound.


Calling / Call Quality

The call quality of One X is great because of the noise reduction feature.

Signal management provides almost full bars most of the time.


Car Mode

It's packed with necessary applications while on the go like map,
phone, clock  icon.

The applications in there cannot be customized.


Battery

Non-removable Li-Po 1800 mAh battery

In case of power outage, the battery cannot be changed because it is
sealed within the phone's chassis. So inconvenient.

The screen is power hungry. Even playing games sucks huge amount of power.
