Hello all, I know traditionally i only review samsung devices as a samsung mobiler i've decided to branch out a bit and share the love. So here's my review on the One x. Let me know what you think, i'm always taking your comments on board and trying to make my content better.
Out of interest it was filmed on a canon Eos 1100D rather than my galaxy s2 for a change. Hopefully you can tell the difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JwiCQlxhg&feature=youtu.be
and a video of the two flavours of ICS on the galaxy nexus and the one X
http://youtu.be/V4Gidj5dEic
I also took some photos from different angles of the one x...find them at my blog here:
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/htc-one-x.html
Here's a quick comparison of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus vs HTC one x. Which do you prefer?

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!
Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.
nice review
thank you

Ahhyes ! I found it. Please I'll add a note to the description of the video. Thanks for pointing it out
A good video, just one word of advice:
When you want to show something on the screen, dont move the phone closer to the camera, it makes the image blurry.
Best is to just keep it the way it is, so that the image stays sharp and then once you're editing the video zoom in digitally!
That'll make the screen more readable
Thanka for the feed back, seriously guys this all helps me for when I make my next . My next purchase is a proper tripod for my camera lol
also added a quick comparison of super amoled vs super ips LCD2...see 1st post for url

very true and a very good job man the reason iphone is so popular because its advertised as the best phone and with the functions than none of other phones have, which is obviously a lie, but a person whos not into mobile phones will obviously go for a phone thats popular etc......

The iPhone just got OWNDED ..... AGAIN lol
great video, they should use it on the HTC website as well as shopping sites.
If it wasn't for the overheating of 3 motherboards, I can't really fault the Desire. Very responsive and a joy to use. I will miss it. My replacement Galaxy S just isn't as quick.
What the...where's the Sense UI? You took all those gorgeous widgets...it could've been a great Ad.
lvnatic he's just using a custom launcher. whether the sense widgets are great is a question of taste i believe. Personally i like them but the alternatives on the market is just as good, and i really like the speed on aosp roms So i don't plan on going back to sense based roms anytime soon.

Woop!!! It's here
dissappointed there is no microssd slot, but woop it is here. On first charge as i type.
I have not turned it on yet as it has not finished charging yet. Does anyone know how long this takes?
HTC HD2 trusted old pal has served me well, but time for a faster more poewerful system.
Looking forward to the Dev on it for the xda-dev's lets hope it is easier and more stable than my wifes Wildfire S.

To HELL with SDCards. I got 6 of them and only take one out to transfer big files from my laptop. It's a dying technology... Been using them since my I-MATE JAM and never filled a 16mb card, nor felt anything special for them except invariable frustration with their variable performance. Cloud is the future - together with unlimited internet bandwidth.
Mine shipped yesterday on DHL Express from England, so, YES I could kick u in the nuts lucky son-ova-gun

Hi,
I do know that's more or less an old topic but well...I have a big dilemma so maybe you should help me out.
I'm owning a SGS3 int. and well I'm more or less fine with it; I choosed it over HOX mainly because of chance to change battery and winner cpu/ram benchmark (with 15/20% more in every damn test) and a bigger screen (not much but better then nothing).
The dilemma started 1 week ago when a friend of mine bought the HOX and well...the screen seems really so much better in HOX.
At the same time, despite few games lag on HOX, the Tegra has some optimized game for it giving some cool effect.
I mainly use the phone to watch movie and play videogames so, in some way, HOX win for me (at least just watching it) so I was thinking to chance my SGS3 for an HOX but I wanted to ear your opinion, hoping that will not start flame or fan boy reply.
I am really interested in opnions of who maybe tried both or who maybe changed his SGS3 for the HOX (like I'll probably do asap).
Thanks,
Max

There have already been similar threads like this one you should really go searching for them. Cause frankly everyone on this forum is sick of it.
tons of info in the One X mega information thread
and shadehh is right please enough with these comparison threads, they are against XDA rules
few moments now and this thread will be flooded by fools
to mods: we need a sticky please saying comparison threads are not allowed
You have a SGS3 so you already know its strengths and weaknesses. Your friend has a One X so you can figure out what its strengths and weaknesses are specific to the way you'll use it. Like others just said, there are tons of threads discussing the two phones. That should be more than enough for you to make an informed decision. Personally, I don't get "what should I buy?" threads. Everyone uses their phones differently and has different needs and criteria. Do some research and buy what you think is best. That seems more logical than making a decision based on the advice of total strangers.
well i had an amoled screen before and i got to tell u that i prefer the LCD. i am more with ur opinion but that wouldnt make me change the s3 is the battery .it is something that some times u want to have more than anything else.thats the only minus in hox the battery everything else i think are the same with s3

Actually we need some good discussion thread with protagonists antagonists for each phone where every one can say what it is they like about their phone (or disliked on the other).
Anyway I bought the HOX before the SGS3 came out but before the SGS3 came out I already knew Samsung would blow HTC away with its hardware specs but I own a SGS2 and a Desire so I know a bit about the difference in user experience and the whole time I used the SGS2 I was disappointed because i missed all those little Sense touches. Sense just is the best mobile user experience period, nothing comes close in software polishedness (not "even" ios), everything just works and everything is integrated into each other; eg. open the gallery app and see the galleries from your friends there, or browse contacts and go directly to their galleries, the htc keyboard is pretty damn good; I bought swiftkey x when using the sgs2 but I am using just the default keyboard; duplicate contacts are automatically merged in sense; and there is so, so much more; really there is only one touchwiz feature I miss in Sense and that's the smart alarm function....
If your thing is showing of quadrant scores though don't get the hox

But hasn't this been done? To death? It's all just opinion and there's rarely agreement amongst owners better yet any type of common ground that would hold up in a comparison. Name one feature of the SGS3 or One X that doesn't already have commentary running on it. I don't know whether I'm a protagonist or antagonist (maybe I'm both?) but I'm tired of the circular debates that lead nowhere, don’t change anyone's opinion, and consistently end with the thread being locked. Yesterday's One X vs. SGS3 comparison thread covered race and sexual orientation. Do you really want to go there again?
There’s already a 160 page SGS3 vs. One X comparison thread in the i9300 forum. Why doesn’t everyone use that as the “official” comparison thread? I guarantee you anything anyone wants to discuss has been covered at least a dozen times there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652250
because for each and everyone it's a different discussion, everyone has their own things they think are important and their own things they think are less important
Thread closed.
Comparison thread are finish.

If you know this has nothing to do with the S3, but rather the HTC One V, post it in it's proper place.
Your review is very subjective. When talk about speed, you say it's slow, but slow compared to what? Use numbers, benchmarks would help, especially 3 month from now, when a new generation of phones come out.
your review also focuses on the superficial. I know you are a teenager, because you say it, but don't make your review sound like a 12 year old boy who only cares about how "cool" something looks. What about battery life? How loud the phone is? Reception? Storage size? All those would play in to how a phone can be "used".

Oh you even ask why...nvm u will see
He's just trolling. Does it all the time, so don't worry about it.
But I do agree that this is in the wrong place and should be in at the very least an HTC One variant forum. I understand why you put it here (being that you are an SGS3 user-probably should have put that in your OP) and are just wanting peer review. Best place to get peer review on a product is probably that product's forum.
I'm not the Mod for this section but you can request the thread moved, otherwise you might get more of the same responses.
Thats exactly why I put it here and troll level over 9 000 haha but its cool if a mod can move this for me please to htc one v general
I was hesitant to post this in the first place I dont mind gettin it moved
I asked for it to be moved. Should be sometime soon. You'll get far better peer review over there, than you will here.
Good luck in your writing.

I get it, it is very difficult for one with your intelligence to realize that when you review a htc one v device that should be posted on the htc one v forum and not on the samsung galaxy s3 forum...huh not sure, maybe these two names sound very similar to you probably

Dafuq?
Are you mad?
one v has 3.7 inch screen not 4.3 inch.
Also, this is one v not one s. Please edit your review.
Thanks so much for the feedback guys! That HTC ONE s error was a noob error, I was supposed to get the ONE S thats why. Sorry about that
I updated it. Lemme know if I need anything else guys,
Thanks a lot
Yes, you can make this review a lot better by writing something about the phone. IMO even temple run does not run on the stock rom. Also, sense is much better than touchwiz.
I don't think so ^ I guess I'm just used to the TouchWiz UI lool
I think touchwiz is just **** and samsung would do themselves a favour by using stock.

Not sure what to make of this mess. His review is about the One V. This is the One V forum, and the thread is posted in the One V general sub-forum, so unless this was already moved I don't see what the problem is. Also, this goes to everyone: If you see a violation or mis-post, just quietly report it and carry on. Confronting the other person only starts a flame war, and puts you in the hot seat, which could lead to consequences. TBH, I thought the way some of you treated the OP was absurd. He is only looking for feedback, not to be berated in front of other members.
Flaming another member for violating the rules, is a violation in and of itself. Please refrain from flamatory or disruptive behavior towards other members. Those found participating in this type of behavior will be dealt with.

i'll definitely buy the One X, very very supported and imo it is better than the One and it looks better the real good thing about the One is the 1080p display but the 720p is very very similar to it.....

I appreciate that you have guided me well about this phone.
Is there any software for HTC One X that are useful in doing apps, games, movies on it ?
even in stock rom you have included video editor which is not bad, but there are better on playstore
about apps and games, if you mean coding on it, belive me youre better off on PC
