It’s been about a month since I have become a happy owner of the HTC One X. I just want to say that I felt taking a big chance purchasing this device. Let’s just say my love for Android wasn’t very strong. Having previously own the Samsung Captivate a year ago I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing. I think the big problem with the Captivate wasn’t the phone itself but Android 2.3 a.k.a Gingerbread. I found it wasn’t as refined as Apple iOS. But, today I have a new perspective on Android, thanks to the new version 4.0, a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich. yum-yum!!
The HTC One X runs Ice Cream Sandwich which is way way way better, smoother and more refined than any previous versions of Android I have ever tried. Plus, I really do love HTC’s tweaked UI called Sense. This is the first Android device I’ve owned that feels polished around the edge; both the hardware and software. Everything’s in its place. I don’t feel the need to root this phone or install a different mail or SMS client on there because everything feels right and is a pleasure to use.
I ain’t gonna go in details on every features here. Gizmodo, CNET and others have done that already. But, Some pros are: Picture quality is fantastic and camera functions are top notch. Screen is incredibly bright and beautiful. Fast and very stable. Cons: Keyboard auto-correction is not the best I’ve used. Gets a little warm while playing big games. That’s about it!
HTC has recently rolled out a software update which I installed. I had previously noticed that the phone didn’t seem to report the LTE reading of bars properly. Sometimes I would get only 1 or 2 bars but everything was super speedy anyways and never get more than 3 bars. Now, with the new update version 1.94.631.3 the LTE bars seems much more accurate. Downtown I easily get 5 bars now and didn’t before the update. Yay!
I don’t know about the Samsung Galaxy S III. I hear it’s amazing. But, I can guarantee you, the HTC One X does not disappoint. Best phone I’ve ever had…and this is coming from an Apple fanboy!
Bought one too. Great phone yes. Note that i used to be an iPhone person too and this phone is so much better and more modern.
I think what he said concerning the camera is an viewpoint, for the reason that in my viewpoint, the One particular
X’s camera is far superior to? the iPhone’s. It can be faster, additional vibrant
and crisp with its greater show.
Well, definitely better than the iPhone 4. Haven’t tried against the 4S.
