HTC One X: The Phone That you simply Searching for

Quite a few in the business think that HTC, which was as soon as most beloved amongst Android fans, has fallen from grace. That the business has lost its way, its edge. I'm here to tell you that those people are incorrect. I provide as evidence the new HTC One X.

The One X, the company's new flagship Android smartphone, would be the kind of telephone that just leaves you breathless. Its single-piece polycarbonate physique is exclusive inside the Android world, and it is as comfy to hold because it is drop dead beautiful. The X's 720p resolution touchscreen display is just as eye-catching and functional because it is expansive, measuring four.7 inches across the diagonal.

The One X's two marquee attributes, nonetheless, are probably its Android four OS together with the new Sense 4 user interface and also the phone's potent NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, which has 4 processing cores that can run at speeds of as much as 1.5GHz. The real planet impact of a quad-core processor could possibly be negligible for most tasks, but there's no denying that the advertising appeal it offers is wonderful.

About the only issue that is certainly missing is 4G connectivity, given that that shiny new Tegra 3 processor lacked LTE assistance until extremely lately.

Aside from LTE, the HTC One appears to be everything that the Google Galaxy Nexus by Samsung is and should really happen to be. Study on.

Hardware

The HTC One X is an exquisitely developed device. The white physique of our evaluation handset is made from a single piece of polycarbonate that features a matte finish, save for the high-gloss edge of the telephone. It really is supremely appealing and comfortable, and it blends completely in to the tapered edges of your Gorilla Glass front in the telephone that protects its 720 x 1280 pixel Super LCD2 show.

Supplying a dot pitch of 312dpi, the One X's 4.7-inch HD touchscreen is more than sharp sufficient to produce even the smallest of fonts appear entirely readable - assuming your eyes are up to the task. The X's show also shows significantly deeper black levels than prior HTC HD displays, for instance the one seen on the HTC Vivid for AT&T. It still can't quite compete with Super AMOLED for black levels and color saturation, but it can be getting quite close.

Given that it truly is an Android four.0 device, and was created from the ground up as such, the HTC One X capabilities only three touch sensitive controls under the display. Users will find a back button, a home button, and also the job switcher button. Missing is definitely the search button found on most older Android smartphones, and I am glad to bid it farewell because a three button arrangement is much easier to use without seeking, as LG showed on its Nitro HD for AT&T.

Above the show around the front face in the telephone will be the secondary 1.3 megapixel camera for video chatting, which supports the primary 8 megapixel camera, with LED flash, that resides around the back in the telephone. A power button sits around the top edge in the One X, where it truly is somewhat difficult to reach - even with large hands. A three.5mm headphone jack resides there as well, as does the hidden tray for the phone's mandatory micro-SIM card, which requires a paper clip or something similar for removal. A micro-USB port for charging and data is located on the left edge in the telephone, using the volume control sitting exactly on the opposite right hand edge.

HTC One X

With a weight of only 134g (four.7oz) and a svelte profile of 9.2mm (.36in), the One X fits easily into a pocket. Its 134.5mm x 70.8mm (5.3in x 2.8in) length and width can make it a bit unwieldy to use single-handedly for those with smaller hands, but it truly is no worse than Motorola's popular DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX smartphones in that regard, even though it provides users a much larger, higher resolution show.

Apart from the position in the power button plus the micro-USB port, I find the industrial design and build quality in the HTC One X to become just about as good because it gets. It is actually a device worthy of both love and lust.
