[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I think the comparison is utterly invalid. The photos are shot on different days, in different weather, at different times of day. There's absolutely no control whatsoever, and that will play a far bigger part in perceived differences than the cameras themselves.

Even the indoor comparisons aren't completely useful, because they're framed differently, but at least they're reasonably close. There the HTC wins by a country mile. The other photos are simply not comparable though...
[HTC One X] danielsf:
Tbh, the camera of a phone is the feature I care least about, I don't take photos at all. My s2 has a great camera, I rarely use it. When I do use it, I use the front facing on a lot more (replacement for a mirror :D). Screen, gpu, battery and cpu are the most important things to me, and in that order. Therefore I think I prefer the s3 due to undeniably better cpu, gpu and battery. The screen preference is purely subjective, I do like amoled but I will reserve judgment until I can compare both screens in a shop. (I've seen the one x in real life a few times and the screen was nice, although I thought the galaxy notes screen looked nicer, which happened to be side by side with the one x in the phone shop) The camera performance of the one x out doors in the gsmarena review is comparative to other tests I have seen, although the low light performance is very impressive. I admit the one x looks a lot nicer than the SGS3 on the front, on the other hand I really don't like the way the camera protrudes out on the one x and subsequently prefer the SGS3's back :)
[HTC One X] georgik_222:
i will keep my hox, for me is much better
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Ah; you linked directly to the camera comparison page, so I thought you were specifically asking about that. I haven't bothered to read the rest of the review, and doubt I'll bother to; I'm more than happy with my phone, and dislike the Samsung's styling.
[HTC One X] danielsf:
Sorry, I hadn't realized that the link took you to the camera part. Fare enough, each to there own, the one x is a beautiful looking device :-)
[HTC One X] PsiPhiDan:
EVO 4G LTE > HOX > GSIII

I'll take the SD card slot, kickstand, aluminum body, and dedicated camera button over the One X, and I don't trust Samsung's build quality at all.
[HTC One X] mrmad23:
German HTC One X Test with focus on Sense 4, camera pictures and its quality + unboxing video.
[HTC One X] MBRuss:
I read it, and the processor comparison baffled me the most. The GS3 was better in all benchmark tests than the OneX, but also the OneS was better for most of the benchmark tests vs the OneX as well... which seems odd. Having an extra two cores makes it slower?!
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
I wrote it before...this test is manipulated. The Samsung should win, not the same conditions in the test. Take a sharper look on the pics: S3 were made in May in Sunshine; always blue sky, the umbrellas for the sun are opened, the trees have leaves. The HOX pics were made in January or February, in the early morning or by cloudy weather with no efforts to make a good picture. I never shot pics like them with my HOX. If you make a test under different conditions like here, some phones with 2 MPix can win such a test. And if the photos were different, maybe they are also unfair in other sequences of the test. No unindependent result.
[HTC One X] MBRuss:
I hardly think so. Sure, the lighting might be different, which may give an edge to the Samsung, but the benchmarks are just that, and I very much doubt they were "unfair".

That said, I'd love to know why the One X performed so poorly in the benchmarks against the SG3 and even the One S...? You don't expect to buy the range-topper, only to find that the model below out-performs it.
[HTC One X] Azurael:
Well firstly, if you think benchmarks actually mean anything, you probably shouldn't be a member of this forum. I'd have thought we'd be knowledgeable enough by now to realise that all available Android benchmarks favour certain SoCs often without rhyme or reason, and even if you do care - massively multi-threaded arithmetic tests and completely synthetic GPU tests bear no relation to real world usage anyway. If anything, benches like AnTuTu and CF Bench give too much credit to quads.

Android doesn't need or benefit much from 4 cores. Single threaded CPU performance (something Krait has in spades) and GPU performance both matter a lot more. (Adreno 225 seems just a little faster than Tegra 3 - depends on the circumstance but this is the walkover for the new Exynos even though it, like the T3 is a quad A9 at similar speed)

There are probably some software enhancements to come but the One XL/S are likely always going to be faster then the X!

Luckily, I bought my X because I love the screen and build quality - I would have preferred the XL but since it's not available here, I'm not exactly fussed. I have the phone I want and whether or not it's 'the fastest' phone on the market, it's certainly fast enough for me. Or likely anybody else! :P
[HTC One X] MBRuss:
Well that was my third ever post here, so it's not like I've been here long.

Seems odd then, to use a CPU and GPU that are slower than existing components that are (presumably) cheaper. If the Tegra isn't faster, then why use it?

I won't even ask about the Exynos, as all I have to go on is clock speed, which clearly isn't the deciding factor here, else the Tegra would be on top.
[HTC One X] fuzzifikation:
comparing the various processors is, indeed, a difficult task. Nevertheless it has been undertaken by some. To me it boils down to personal preference.

No one needs quad-cores - but many want them. Android surely does not need them.

The Kraits are the newest processors, technologically. But they have yield-issues which is why they are only made available in the US. They'll be in Europe as soon as TSMC and other manufacturers have better yields for 28mm.

Between the Exynos and the T3 there is little difference. The Exynos has the edge on memory throughput. Other than that they are both A9 cores which is not the latest and greatest but it's manufacturing has high yields and they can be sold with a reasonable profit. Also they cost less than the Kraits. At equal frequency they should both have virtually equal number-crunching abilites (and Antutu clearly show's that, too). But, seriously, no one needs number crunching in a phone. It's not like I do my simulations on my phone.

That leaves games as the last stronghold that would justify a fast processor / gpu. And yes, phones will be mobile gaming devices. But just not yet as you burn through the battery in blazing speed on any phone.

As far as I'm concerned, I need a good screen, good gps, good screen time and stand-by and a reasonably good camera. There's no phone that does that.. as well as I want it.
[HTC One X] MBRuss:
Thanks for that, but don't the One S handsets all have the Krait chips? Outside of the US even?

Seems odd that they put that processor in the One S, and the inferior one in the One X, unless it's just for marketing purposes and people (myself included) expecting a chip with double the cores to be speedier than one with half as many. Or is the One X's chip better at some things? Or preparing for future versions of Android that will make better use of the extra cores?
[HTC One X] Azurael:
Eep, sorry - my post wasn't specifically aimed at you, juast at this benchmark-obsessed thread - indeed it was rather narky, I think I was in bad mood when I posted it and really shouldn't take that out on you guys :(

Yes, all One S phones have Krait, I'm not sure where that US market only comment came from :) I think the poster was referring to production of the actual silicon being confined to the US - I don't know if that is the case, but perhaps they didn't mean to imply that devices with Krait chips were only available in the US.

And I think you hit the nail on the head, it's all about marketing. Nevertheless, so long as Krait and Tegra 3 (and Exynos quads) are fast enough for people using the devices, I don't suppose it really matters much. Plus, the One S with its QHD screen is always going to have an advantage in graphical benches over devices with 720P displays - I've not seen any direct One X to One XL results - I suspect we might see a reversal of graphics performance there.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
amazing review here

Eurogamer: Digital Foundry: HTC One X Review
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
But with horrible benchmark results. With stock rom or custom rum i have always over 4500 to 5100, mostly around 4800 in Quadrant, over 11500 to 12000 in AnTuTu...don´t know, what they have done to get these results.
[HTC One X] Hotzigetty:

[HTC One X] james soules:

just want to say i love the HTC one X
[HTC One X] AJerman:
Those are nice and all, too bad the EVO 4G LTE looks like crap compared to the H1X.
[HTC One X] NZtechfreak:
New camera review, and a fun little diversion - 4-way camera shootout HOX Vs Note (basically same as the S2, should start to give an idea of how the HOX will be Vs the S3) Vs iPhone 4S Vs Standalone: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/TelecomTech/8112

Make sure to send your votes through on the blind shoot out, and remember don't comment on the photos in the shoot out in the comments section!
[HTC One X] VOT Productions:
Excellent phone, battery life too low though. It's an ideal smartphone for the people coming from the iOS world (like me).

It does need a case though because it's quite ugly :cool:
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
Ugly:eek::rolleyes:

Do you have the same One X as I do? or did you get that new HTC -V or C or whatever that new thing is called.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
iOS folks have a chronic inability to admit that anything could be as attractive as--and in the case of the One X, more attractive than--their iTat.

Let's go easy on him, though. He's a recovering iOS user; admitting you have a problem is always the first step in recovering from an expensive, debilitating dependency like iMania.

My own review here http://www.forumhookers.com/topic/976-htc-one-x-review/
[HTC One X] SK_007:
Hey guys i don't have a HTC One X right now(i will be getting it on 13th or 14th of June,and most probably the white one),the reason why i am here is to clarify one thing regarding camera on One X,many people here at XDA and on other forums are saying that Galaxy S3 has a better camera than One X(when asked about the source they say the test done by Gsmarena which is my view is biased even a blind can see that the test was not done at the same time for both the phones),in my view(what i have read and seen on some other sites including Tech radar)is that One X has a far better camera than Galaxy S3,i know some people would ask me to show the proof,so here is the proof:http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/htc-one-x-vs-samsung-galaxy-siii-camera-comparison.452473462/ this is the most detailed comparison of the cameras of both these devices,both the cameras have been tested in almost every situation,and in the end the result is pretty clear regarding which smartphone has the better camera,okay okay i'll not spoil the party and tell who won,you guys can see for yourself,i hope leading sites for e.g Gsmarena would learn something from this test,that when you do a comparison it should be fair not biased like they did before.

Regards!!!!

[HTC One X] Azurael:
Well that is a shock. I'd probably go as far as to say the OX has the best camera I've yet had on a phone in terms of responsiveness and low light performance, but I'm not _that_ impressed with it... Particularly the way it clips highlights so badly in any photo taken in sunlight - I appreciate that's the nature of small sensors - they lack dynamic range, but my old Desire seemed better in that regard (Although not the Atrix, which has the worst camera you can possibly imagine)

In those pics, however, the OX wipes the floor with the inaccurate colours and overexposure the SGSIII seems to like.
[HTC One X] Dr_IZS:
Awesome device .... nothing more
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
as much as it's promised, i'll get my One X on monday..

if this is the case, i probably have it before any real reviews happen about batterylife and everyday use..
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Don't forget to test the loudspeaker for ringtones and outdoor screen visibility, the only 2 hardware faults with HTC for years
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Hoping this is somewhat hyperbolic!
[HTC One X] arthasz:
haha of course!

though my boss isn't happy, my productivity is halved :D

pressing F5 on xda and my mail all day long..:p
[HTC One X] :
I'm in the same situation :-) there is an whole weekend and half of the next week (I hope) before I'll get the phone.. time passes slowly sometimes :-)
[HTC One X] arthasz:
Im expecting to get my baby begin next week!

But upcoming facts and reviews should make the

waiting a little bit more comfortable :)

[HTC One X] sushigeezer:
headset looks like a huge disappointment to me.

I really don't give a toss about quality of sound from it.... looks like a chunkier version of apples headsets which are literally pain in my ear.
[HTC One X] Wtrt:
Another (older) french review of the gunmetal black One X

youtube. com/watch?v=JAFfbodqGN8&feature=related

I am in doubt xda friends! Use my htc desire for abit longer and get the s III or cave now and preorder the htc one x.

It looks like a superb device. I am only waiting for some kind of indication of the screen quality. I dont care about the non removable battery etc

Also sorry xda didnt allow me to post links. if someone would be so kind to post the real one or something that would be awesome
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
I don't think there is any doubt over the quality of the screen. That, and its speed are the one constant in every review I have read. They all state that it is exceptional.

[HTC One X] Gibeon:
I had an hands-on with one today, the screen is AWESOME. Unlike anything you've seen before, guaranteed. It's like the color is printed on the glass, like one of those artworks-on-glass. Believe me, it won't get any better but you'll have to see it for yourself to know what I mean.
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
Saw it today and just wow the screen n design of the phone is so insanely beautiful
[HTC One X] hamdir:
so many comments like these, i guess this phone will sell like hotcakes, im sure your talking about the White?
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
Yup they seemed to have more white ones during the htc meet up. Some stuff u dont get from photos are the feel of the phone which is so so good. Not to mention the micro drilled holes which makes the phone look stunning and the pixels from the screen they seem to "float" up to the glass and when u use it ,it feels like your touching the pixels nt sure if its an optical illusion or nt but its so so so good. Viewing angles are superb colors are slightly less vibrant than on my nexus s but some may argue other than blacks the colors are more accurate on the one x its down to personal preference

T3 hands on review:

http://www.t3.com/reviews/htc-one-x-review

very brief.. not much details though...
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
From 19th of march, not really a review.
[HTC One X] :
Wow,it seems amazing! It will be a long weekend, waiting for my One X! I'm so excited for all those enthusiast hands-on videos and posts!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
where are the reviews!!! the device is in consumers hands already! :confused:
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
GSM Arena is more and more late in delivering reviews, last time it took them 3 weeks after the release to post Sensation's review.

In the past journalists used to have test units 10 days before release date so they can write a review just before the public release
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea mate i need those pro photoshoots to decide grey or black! besides the One X is still no where to be seen in our country ;)
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
the way htc is handling the marketing of the htc one x is really terrible..

inconsistent information regarding beats earphones.. and not to mention, some countries will most likely have beats included with the phone while the rest of the world wonder why htc does not feel they deserve the beats earphone.. and even without beats, at least give a set of in-ear earphones which have audio control buttons instead of the useless generic handfree set..

lack of review units for tech review sites and magazines.. if the s3 is announced, most people will definitely cancel their pre-order since the lack of reviews would make people wanna wait for the s3 reviews...

multiple versions of the black/grey version of the phone.. again, stupid idea by htc.. why come up with different shades of grey and different tint for the camera ring for the grey colored units? just adds to the confusion..

totally hashed down information regarding launch event, promotions and what not in my country.. htc has a launch event tomorrow, and they are giving a $100 voucher for use with telecom.. BUT, no one even knows if the voucher can be used for re-contract or must it be a new line.. attempts to ask tele providers result in "WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE HTC ONE X"..

to me, this is just really terrible campaign at promoting the One series by HTC.. does htc even bother about the details or is this all just an attempt to drive up anticipation.. from eagerly anticipating this phone, i am becoming more frustrated and irritated by the second by this ridiculous lack of information.. i might just wait for the s3 or even iphone just to punish htc for their lack of customer focus..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
we are still unsure of the grey version situation, after seeing all the photos and videos

i think its just one version under different lights

there is a thread about it

but i agree reviews should pop out first

and finally relax its not that bad :) tons of info on the mega thread, barely anything left uncovered

as for the beats inbox you are right but i think its down to individual deals they should have clarified this

like One X + beats earset vs One X no beats

you can't convince me these issues are deal breakers
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Definitively buying the white one, even if I have to wait more weeks
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
i am dissapointed if there are no beats in it.. sure i don't need them, i don't like the beats quality, but i could give them to my gf or sell them..

and it makes no sense to implement beats audiotech with the warning that "it is optimized for use with beats earbuds/headphones, other will probably not get the same performance", but not include beats earbuds..

and it's a bit a chaos.. not even engadget, gizmodo or gsmarena have a review Oo even i am confused now.. there are no informations..
[HTC One X] kolaf:
The Norwegian mobile phone site amobil.no is withholding their review until Monday based on a request from HTC. Apparently they found a bug they are working on improving (patch due today), and they want everyone to review the phone using the latest firmware.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
thanks for this, i used all my thanks :)
[HTC One X] Chartist:
I dont think Beats should be a deal breaker. There are better headsets out there (and cheaper). The headsets are made by Monster who have made a fortune marketing extortionately expensive cables that add nothing to the user experience. I do agree that if HTC want to use Beats as a selling point they should either include the headsets or else mark their phones "Beats Ready (headset not included).

I am glad the headsets aren't included as I don't want to pay extra for some headsets I don't want
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
Its a launch event for a reason dude chill out all ur queries will be answered tmr. get angry only if they cant answer you tmr :)
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
Arrrggghh! Really frustrating. So we probably won't see any reviews until monday - the same day the One X is launched in several countries.

But thanks for the info!
[HTC One X] -Andyoid-:
Agree with you. I'll use my Sennheiser 200-IIi anyway!
[HTC One X] Chartist:
Same pair as me.

Basically Beats produced headsets that deliberately over-emphasize parts of the frequency spectrum. They then require special equalizer settings to compensate for this. That is the 'magic' of Beats and that's why you need to use them with special 'Beats certified' equipment that cancels out some of the effect of these non-standard earpieces.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
I have a pair of Head-Direct RE 272, way superior to any Beats earphones,so I don't care!

But what is made by Beats in this One X? the loudspeaker and the Beats Equaliser only?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I have a pair of Audeo PFE 122's that I'll be using. They should be better than any bundled in beats headphones (if they were included). I was simply going to sell them anyway :P
[HTC One X] derpious:
Can everyone stop bragging about which headphones they have and whatever. It's not really any relevance to the topic.
[HTC One X] akristiansen:
The Beats headsets are no longer produced by Monster.

But uses the same components.

HTC will sell Beats headsets under the urBeats series spesificaly for their phones, and should come at a better price than the pure Beats headset.

(Sorry, no reviews up in Norway yet. And still waiting for mine from HTC)
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
We probably won't see reviews until the second of april, since that's stated in an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) between HTC and reviewing partners. In The Netherlands, at least.
[HTC One X] Naed_Draagur:
For what its worth, some of the danish phone shops do have demo models of the white one x on display. I was playing with one in downtown(aarhus) in the TDC shop on mainstreet. (it feels slightly weird to do a double take to confirm that its not a "fake" model, because of weight). The "detail" about that demo model is that its not TDC that has any had any say in it, its HTC that are doing a rotation demo between the different shops.

And from what i have gathered asking around. The 3 shop had it Tuesday-Wednsday, TDC got it yesterday and they will most likely have it untill launch on monday.
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
Yep, it's the same here in Denmark. Got a mail from one of the biggest mobile sites here, and they said that they aren't allowed by HTC to post their review until monday.
[HTC One X] djolebih:

On another note, my One X will be here in a few days. So hyped about it lol..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well mine is any where but near

i have to get through retail channels and my source have failed me so far, so i guess it means i will decide by holding both the black and white to see for myself

jealous of you "first world country" people :D
[HTC One X] djolebih:
Lol brother, Bosnia is hardly a first world country tbh, but I do have my sources and so far they have never failed me. I'm getting the white one. So far, from what I've seen, people say it is just supreme.

Is there ANY way I can talk you out of buying the gray one? :D
