[HTC One X] THFourteen:
This is to be my first android phone and the bit from 14minutes in really worries me :(

Also what's with that loading screen when you try and go to the home screen?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Most likely related to whatever the bug in the firmware is.

This will be my first Android phone (and the second in my house; wife has a Samsung Galaxy Ace, so very old version of Android). Her Ace seems stable; we also have two Asus Transformer TF101 tablets which were great until the Ice Cream Sandwich update, but are now hopelessly unstable. (It seems that's most likely Asus's problem, though.)

[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
this is really ridiculous.. i cant remember when the hell was the last time a phone is sold on the market without a prior review released..
[HTC One X] flame10:
Probably HTC gave away the phones early to reviewers and set the clause for reasons ..

People will actually use it then write the reviews, when they have fallen in love with the phone.. rather than writing reviews before even understanding how to use the phone properly.

I feel its quietly a brilliant strategy.
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
the iphones only got reviews after they were sold :D
[HTC One X] Born Twitchy:
Same as battery life, the reviewers have used it several days that allowes the battery to break in so to speak.

This also eliminates lousy reviews just to be the first to publish a review.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
This is an increasingly common trend for other products, too. My personal feeling is that the manufacturers are gaming Google with this approach. Google gives better search rankings to sites that get a lot of early traffic (well, links) for any given search term. If nobody's posting reviews before the manufacturer and / or its partners, their content ends up higher in the search rankings.

For example, in this instance, it's not just HTC's own site that benefits, but also their partner Vodaphone's "review", which should more truthfully be called an infomercial.

Without this strategy, that Vodaphone piece would've gotten little traffic. With it, it'll sit higher than it should in Google rankings for at least a while, getting views from people who largely won't do the critical thinking required to release that it isn't a review.
[HTC One X] gordongartrell:
The RAZR and the Galaxy Nexus did the same thing. When the RAZR reviews were released, pretty much every tech blog/site released their reviews at exactly 10am eastern time.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:

[HTC One X] JayFReaZy:
With all these great first impressions of the international HTC one, it seems like it very well may be my next phone. I just hope the downgraded dual core for the at&t model isn't a complete let down compared to it's international brethren.
[HTC One X] Naed_Draagur:
The Krait aint a downgrade as such.

But reviews will paint the full picture on that :)
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Krait dual-core is faster than Tegra 3 in most applications.

It's because Tegra 3 is using old cortex-A9(what we use in our phones now, and have been using for over a year) while Krait is using a whole new architecture and smaller fabrication process yielding greater results.

Tegra 3 will be better for games though just because it's optimized for Tegra zone etc...

[HTC One X] Daemos:
The SGS1 still has one of the best audio DACs mobile phone market, in fact the SGS2 was a downgrade using a yamaha chip instead of the wolfson. just FYI.

Also no serious audiophile takes "beats audio" seriously, if anything it makes things sound muddled and the bass is bloated and muddy.

It's down to the point where sub $100 headphones beat down the top of line beats audio headset without any mercy.

in fact there was a thread on an audiophile forum showing how the beats audio headsets were just re branded cheaper headsets that sell for less than 1/4 the price of beats audio stuff, I mean the beats audio "tweaks" the sound signature to "enhance" or "bloat" the bass to the point where it's muddy, distorted, not tight, clean and lean and mean. I'd easily put up my modded fostex T50RP which can be bought and modded for under $100 against any beats audio stuff...actually the fostex is so good it's in the same ballpark as my $1300 HE-6 headphones, although the He-6 ultimately come out on top, but the He-6 needs a proper desktop amp where the fostex can be powered from a portable device :)

[HTC One X] drfroz:
Engadget quote

"There's absolutely no doubt that the One X is a masterpiece of an Android device: it obliterates pretty much all of its competitors by giving even the mighty Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. HTC's really crafted something special here, with a brilliant combination of branding, industrial design and user experience. This handset looks and feels stunning, with top-notch materials and build quality, the most gorgeous display we've ever stared at on a phone, a fantastic camera that's fast and easy to use and a laundry list of every possible spec under the sun. Sense 4 is thin and light enough to enhance -- not detract from -- stock Ice Cream Sandwich. Pinch us, 'cause frankly, we're smitten."
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Interesting to see the conflicts between reviews: for example, Engadget says video capture doesn't start for FOUR SECONDS after you press the button, yet The Verge says it starts "more or less instantaneously". Strange; somebody's wrong, but whom?

Also interesting to note that HTC shipped an update to radically improve battery life during the review process. Maybe this was what caused the delay in reviews -- they found themselves about to be slaughtered in the press over poor battery life. This may be why early users are noting that the phone slows down significantly as battery power is eaten away.
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
absolutely agree on this.

beats is just a hype, a temporary fashion..

they just got MUCH bass, not even quality bass

the only thing is, they look cool, and they're expensive, like the iphone, and normal ppl think expensive things are good, so they prefer it..

but HTC made a good decision in buying beats, 90% of the ppl today do love beats, so they go buy a HTC phone most probably..
[HTC One X] hamdir:

4.5/5
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Only the mobile-review + translation is negative about the One X.

All the negatives given by Eldar are contradicted by Real reviews as Modaco and Engadget.

The screen IS readable and usable under sunlight (Engadget)

Both the incall volume and ringtones are loud enough (Modaco)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
where did you read about the battery life update?
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
i just read that about the batterylife on engadget.. didn't found something about an update but:

"Battery life, however, looks likely to pay the price for this. With brightness set to 50 percent, WiFi on but not connected, the One X's 1,800mAh juicepack managed six hours of continuous video playback -- that's two hours short of its sibling, the One S. Obviously, this sort of activity is likely to use the phone's multiple cores, but we found that Tegra 3's 4-PLUS-1 setup still continues to slurp the battery on very light use -- we didn't notice that extra companion core taking any sort of burden off the phone's power consumption. Checking our battery status, it seems like HTC's Super LCD 2 screen -- perhaps unsurprisingly-- was also to blame for a life span that didn't last a full workday."

guys, THIS sounds very, very bad.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nevermind i found it its on the Verge: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/2/2919202/htc-one-x-review

i read techradar's review and it doesn't seem updated to match this
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Since I flashed the One S port on my Sensation the battery life is shortened from 48h to 12h.

Must be something in the software drivers not the phone itself,so expect a huge boost with updates later

[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I'm not 100% sure, but if you look at some videos where you see how they record videos, there is a lag between button press and start of recording. However, the timer then starts at ~2-3 seconds, so it actually starts recording, but the screen freezes for some seconds. That may be the reason for those conflicting statements.

Edit: Here you can see that there is indeed a 2-3 second lag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG86FRiwJ_A (at 6m30s).

Looks like they missed the update :>
[HTC One X] hamdir:
most likely they missed the update and raised the score to compensate for HTC

but their score makes no sense after reading their constant crying about the battery
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Spotted another contradiction... Engadget say it "captures 1080p video at a silky smooth 30fps", while PhoneArena complain about "1080p video recording at 23 fps".

Makes me wonder just how many version of review firmware were floating around, and/or how big a change was made in the final review firmware...
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
I do think there seems to be a mix of production and demo units and firmware across these reviews I also wonder how deeply some of the reviewers checked certain details. Did he just say 1080p at 30fps as that what the tech specs say or did he really check what he had produced. Also do I remember some one saying that the FPS depends on the environment / lighting so maybe they had different set-ups for testing.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
known HTC camera fact, video frame rate is linked to light

you can boost it all the way to 30 fps even in low light if you reduce exposure
[HTC One X] myself11:
It's just incredible how none of the major tech sites reviewd 1080p movies decoding. Only the russian mobile site did that. I just hope Anandtech reviews One X and compares it to TF Prime.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
im looking forward Anandtech the most, but i was pleased to see the One X beating the T Prime in Engadget test, also im sure they just forgot to put the T prime in performance mode ;)

[HTC One X] john32f:
It seems like the consensus is that while the phone is great and looks gorgeous, the battery slows it down by keeping you from enjoying it. It sounds like some of the things HTC did, they nailed, such as the beats integration and the dropbox pairing.

I'm looking forward to getting this phone, especially if the rumors are true that the sprint version boasts a bigger battery and a microsd slot.
[HTC One X] :
Been trawling through the reviews all day. Even more excited now! Almost all concerns laid to rest except one: The protruding camera lens and it's ease of damage/scratches. One of my favourite sites (that always seen to match my opinions anyway) is Trustedreviews.com, and just finished going over their review, and seen something quite worrying that the reviewer doesn't pick up on. Check out the close up he has taken of the camera lens...

Now it's not just me right? Those are scuffs on the rim and a couple of scratches and what certainly looks like a crack (it's even casting a shadow) on the lens? I am going to e-mail him to ask if he dropped it, but after seeing a demo video of it being in a tumble dryer for 8 hours, I would love to then see a picture of it's camera lens afterwards. Maybe a case is in order when I take this thing outside!

Full review can be found here: http://www.trustedreviews.com/htc-one-x_Mobile-Phone_review
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Oh man. No, it's not just you. That is alarming. I don't think that's a crack, but I think it's a fairly significant scratch. Enough to damage the optical properties, for sure. Looks like pretty soft cover glass...
[HTC One X] jag233:
To be fair I think that phone had to get serious abuse for that to happen, looks like its been dropped or stood on .
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
lol??

It literally take one drop with a short slid across the ground to make that and even worse probably.

Doesn't need abuse, one short slid across gravel can do that easily.
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
makes sense.

i don't think that will happen when you put it in your pocket..

chill guys, chill..
[HTC One X] exotikos:
though that the casing was meant to be significantly harder and more tolerant from materials used in previous phones... it must have been a bad drop for that to happen...
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
I think thats more of the One S category with it's Micro-arc oxidation body. They say its stronger than steel???

This is polycarbonate with a matte finish, scratches will rub off eventually I think? But it can still be damaged. Main talking point is the camera lens being damaged because it protrudes so much.
[HTC One X] exotikos:
I think that may justify getting the grey one instead of the white then.. (though I did initially ordered the white one...). scratches will appear even worse on a white surface...
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
I think it's white throughout the whole shell like as in throughout the core so if you scratch it, more white will display.

But yea, the black/grey will still hide marks better.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
regarding techradar's review about battery life, they have said on their twitter page that they did get the firmware patch and the battery was still shocking :eek:

but they are getting a second one x to test apparently.

I'm hoping that the battery issue will be sorted once the phone calibrates itself in 2 weeks?
[HTC One X] ECrispy:
I would never use an expensive device like this without a case, I don't even put my phone down on a hard surface if I can help it. Maybe I'm the exception as I always see people treat their phones like crap and then be surprised at the scratches etc.

But yeah, all HTC had to do was put a 1mm think metal ring around the lens and it would have solved the problem.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
all they had to do is to recess the glass a bit more, i know people had the same complaint about the DHD lens, but it was intruded actually

as for case spot on, why do you put a device on a hard surface and expect it to stay pristine? its why most iPhones i see have an ice skating ring on their back

case or pouch, any would do, i use a pouch and put the device over it when i take it out
