Poor battery life and overheating means its useless for business use. Also limited (and non upgradable) memory means you can't install enough apps.
Avoid at all costs if you want something reliable for business.
horrible service from htc. i bought the phone in oct' 2013. Since April this year its gone dead three times and i am roaming around them for the service. the collection center doesn't have answer for any of my questions. they simply say call the customer care. since last one month my phone is with them for 15 days and i submitted again today. waste of time and money with HTC...
A gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood phone very fast and an awesome camera but the wifi is not that good and the speakers is normal but it still an awesome device it deserve 10 out of ten for general usage
I've been an HTC user from the times the first Desire phones arrived. as a business person, I spend 16h interacting with the phone (no games) per day. Smartphone is the essence of my work, and I consider a phone great if it can handle moi for a year. One X, really fails to meet the expectations as after 9 months of usage (2 of which it spend with the manufacturer in repairs), I'm looking to get something else.
I was faicng WIFI problem in this, most of network couldnt connect with this phone. Over all phone is very good in using applications and Mobile Data Internet, Smooth smart phone and Nice handling with such a large screen.
in the starting i did had battery problem.. but after the updates it gives awesome battery backup. i get 34 to 40hr of back up on 2g network. and if u do heavy calling then 15 to 18 hr of backup with internet on when required. i dont have any problem with the phone and i feel it was worth every penny i spent.
Instead of putting my full review here I've listed my experiences at length under each category.
This phone is a pain to root, and you can thank HTC's S-On "feature" for that. I have heard that in the new HTC One, S-On is much less intrusive, but that doesn't change that after over a year the HTC One X still never got S-Off, and the Community was never able to reliably produce S-OFF. This means that flashing custom roms requires several extra steps, and that upgrading HBOOT through any other method than OTA is downright frustrating. If you are not familiar with the terms HBOOT, S-On / S-Off, then welcome to the world of HTC induced arbitrary security measures that do nothing better than make developers suffer and updates slow.
I chose the HTC one S as an alternative because it did not suffer from the same build quality problems that plagued the One X, but you still end up with a good phone that has aged much more gracefully than the One X and the Tegra3
I chose the Nexus 4 as an alternative because hardware wise, there is nothing the One X offers that the Nexus 4 does not have. The nexus 4 also has a developer community that is not plagued by the problems that HTC has forced upon the One X community.
Htc one is an amazing phone
Just one thing wrong i noticed, life battery is the worst I used in my life
But the phone is awesone it can perform any work easily, still wanting for the update to jb 4.2.2 and so on
ANother thing is that I dont like the keyboard and htc sense is very limited. I cannot change the background image and the police, hope they'll send an update to improve customization more.
good and fast smartphone but limited storage but i think 16 or 32 gb is enogh the quad core proccesor is realy good and look the phone fast the body poly carbonate is very hard beats aoudiu tecnology makes the sound more visible than another phones
This phone has everything u ever wanted.... Not everything but camera quality is poor than a 5mp camera. Playing games is excellent with its quadcore processor but get heated in few hours. i will say that i m very happy with htc and with its jelly bean update things are farmost outstanding
One of the most powerful and best phone in the market. After reading reviews and specifications I choose this HTC One X instead of Samsung Galaxy3. Before I heard good things about HTC devices. Now I enjoy using every minutes of this handset.
Its very good for everyday usage but the battery time and camera could use a little bit of improvement. The multimedia also is a bit disappointing but there are alternatives for that. The browsing experience is also improved with the jelly bean update.
This is the best phone I've ever had. Best build quality among all the android phones that have been out and an amazing screen, sound, etc. I can really hear the difference with beats audio. The screen looks extremely lifelike
HTC One X International Version is impressive, it's build quality is very curious, not plastic as another one. Mine WiFi is normal, but sometimes it disconect and conect again, don't know if just mine. For internet viewing it's great, as its 720p let you see all the page without problems, so are the videos, that it can render 1080p @ 60fps 24mbps from my digital camera. HTC Sense is beautiful, the best UI available, BUT it is still heavy, so it's easy to see some frame skips, but some animations are smoothly too. Camera is fine, looks like a normal digital camera, but I think S3 or Iphone 5 has a better one. But the worst lack is the battery. It only works for around 4h for web browsing. And less than 2h for polygonal games. So I had bought an external emergency charger, that sometimes even with energy charger it uses more than recharge. It takes SO long to recharge if you are with display on.
So I think HTC should improve their HTC Sense framerate (it's almost perfect, but for a high-end, must be 60fps always), longer battery (One X+ should get a better battery, but Droid DNA/Butterfly...) and recharge faster. But HTC One X is a lovely cellphone and I just LOVE it! When HTC realize the next cellphone after Butterfly, I should buy it, Hope it gets 12MP camera and record 1080p 60fps videos.
after having it for a year the hardware slowly dies screen becomes unresponsive buttons harder to press down and general wear and tear shows easily. Good phone if you plan to upgrade again soon but long term isnt great. Have to root the phone to get the most out of it
this is the best phone really best display best design best build quality best internet and with the jelly bean this monster will be more awesome , especially the white version light weight , everything about this phone are great
i have been an iphone user forever and never used such a big phone...iv had this phone for a while now and people who want to use their phone with one hand definitely should not buy this phone...on the contrary for web browsing and media junkies, its probably as good as it gets.
build quality is very good and you would be able to use it for a long time...with plastic you wont get dents on it as metal.
battery is sufficient for calls web browsing and everything else.
overall the experience is quite pleasant. but the size really makes it hard to make a call when your driving or if you only have one hand.
The one X have problems with WiFi antenna,signal is everywhere bad,your two meters from router and the signal is bad.is good phone but not for so many euros.for me is better someone buy a samsung.i have one x,but i dont want it anymore.
I purchased the HTC One XL. This was my first HTC phone and I can say I am very disappointed with it. This is due to the poor build quality.
Only after a few days of use, the ceramic coating on my phone's gun metal grey chassis started to chip off. This was despite the fact that my phone had been carefully handled and had not been subjected to any sort of bashing or dropping.
A few days later, my phone developed 2 more problems. Firstly, a wifi connectivity issue arose. All of a sudden my phone was no longer able to connect to wireless networks. A quick search on Google showed that other users have had similar problems and that HTC has acknowledged the existence of such problems. Some users say that the wifi connection can be re-established by squeezing the phone at a particular place. To me this indicates a hardware problem and is simply unacceptable. The second problem was with the screen. The top right hand corner of my screen was poorly fitted and after only 2 weeks of use, what appears to be tiny trapped air pockets started to appear under the glass.
I am very disappointed with my HTC phone. This was supposed to be a flagship phone yet the build quality has let it down. I have complained directly to HTC and have so far not received a response. I have sent my phone into their Hong Kong repair centre to have it repaired. The staff at the repair centre did not seem helpful at all. The after sales service quality is poor. I will now have to wait and see if they will give me a satisfactory response.
The battery life of this device is poor as well. It reduces the enjoyment of using this handset because you will be constantly worrying about whether the battery will last until you reach your next charging opportunity. Since I bought this phone I have carried a back up battery charging pack with me as I go out and about. To illustrate how fast the battery drains, let's take for example the game Riptide GP. The graphics of this game look truly beautiful on the HTC One XL - this I suppose is one of the main strengths of this handset. 20 minutes of game playing time resulted in a drop in battery levels of up to 10 per cent! The beautiful LCD screen simply drains the battery flat very quickly.
As for the pros of this device, I would say the screen and the camera. In addiition, the HTC Sense interface has some nice touches to it. For example, the revolving Earth globe in the Alarm application looks nice.
To make things surprising, my device was actually made in Taiwan ROC and not China. Despite this, the build quality is poor. This is surprising. I bought the Taiwanese maunfactured version because the QA standards are higher in Taiwan than in China. To my surprise, this turned out not to be the case.
If HTC wants to challenge the likes of Apple and Samsung, they really need to sort these problems out.
Can You compare or make a review of the One X (4 cores) with the same version of SIII?; yes... 4.0.4?; a face to face will be interesting, before the Jeally Bean arrive...
I see a big diference in benchmarking...

Amazing handset, you will really enjoy using it. it's amazing F2.0 aperture lens get the most clear image on mobile ever

Best display ever on a phone. Best build quality. Great camera. Beautiful Sense UI with it's beatiful widgets. Everything is great especially that it has been updated to ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1. Everything is smoother than ever. No lags whatsoever. Playing games and watching videos on that gorgeous IPS LCD display is just orgasmic. Nothing to hate at all.
