Agree with the OP, came from N9. And even though Nokia made the unibody sexy HTC definitely hit the top and it is much nicer too. Now I just need to get rid of these abnoxious speeds and it will last for weeks with only one charge.
Well done HTC.
Awesome phone I have to agree! I was from iPhone 4. And I must say wow ics on onex is really smooth and fast. Been rooting and flashing custom Roma nonstop its so addictive

i have owned a beautiful galaxy s2 and yeah first i thought it was cheap and plastic and it sucked. but i did drop that phone so many times and it never once broke or got screen scratched. and actually it felt beautiful in my hand and i loved it to death..now with my latest baby i do love it and i do think it looks a lot sexier than the s2 and you are correct..but it still feels plastic to me and as much as i know people hate me when i say this by far the sexiest phone build quality wise is the iphone 4 for me

Well what you can do now is making money out of spare parts that are still intact.
Like someone here searches for some GSM cable. Someone needed some even smaller part. etc.
Just change the thread into "Selling spare parts out of my bent htc one x"
Sleek, slim, and light weight breaks.
This doesn't.
Personally, I'd rather take my chances with sleek, slim, and light weight.

Nah, just for the construction industry. It's a great idea though for people than need a heavy duty phone. Can you imagine a One X or SGS3 on a job site?

I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I'm guessing that a larger area + lighter materials + less depth + less reinforcement + edge-to-edge glass = tons more broken phones. The latter is causing SGS3's to drop like flies.

Out of the three colors it's probably the one I'd get if I was buying an SGS3. I'd also change the wallpaper to something that worked better with red; the blues aren't cutting it. The blue SGS3's kind of blah in person and I'm not a big fan of white phones. The metallic trim around the phone is dark gray which looks pretty nice. It looks better in actual photos.

Samsung Plasticky s3- special deal: buy one get one mask free to cover your face.
The Samsung claimed someday they would match Apple's design. Yeah keep dreaming. In the meantime, Sony and HTC make the most good looking and functional Android phones. And HTC One X the fairest of them all.
I think it looks good. You guys are jokers, you do know the SGS3 uses the same plastic as our HOXs but it's finished with hyper glaze. Oh and the SGS3 feels much better in the hand than the HOX despite its glossy looks.
But I prefer HTCs matte finish any day compared to the HG finish of the Samsung.

dont know if my next phone would be a HTC but whatever they will do next it will be big....specially with 1080p displays now looking like to be the next trend this year...
I'm going to be getting a new phone in April. I think it's best to see how the S4 holds up against the Tegra 4 and other new SoCs before making the decision.
I agree that the SLCd3 screen looks great. I love the screen on my One X so if I can get that but with more pixels I will be very happy.

Get the Sony experia z.
Killer specs and waterproof.
I saw a video comparison between both screens xperia Z and Droid DNA(same screen as Butterfly) and the blacks/colors were much deeper on the HTC screen.
The xperia Z looked nice but the blacks were like on a SLCD1 screen
I don't know, I mean I will definitely buy a new phone if the HOX doesn't get s-off within the next couple of months. So for my next phone I'll make a deep research about how open its system is.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No more HTC's for me, plus the battery on the Butterfly J is completely underpowered! 2020mah when it's putting out 440ppi on bright SLCD3 display??! It's the HOX / 1800mah all over again! I guess the Butterfly J+ will pack a 2500mah...might wait for that lol.
The Xperia Z is a fine looking lady but the Sony Android skin always looks laggy to me and I hate the viewing angles of Sony screens, the Xperia T only needs to be tilted a few degrees and it's unreadable!
SD card and user removable battery next for me, I'll see how the Samsung S4 turns out, the 5 Octa processes look great on paper!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm thinking of waiting to see how the SGS4 looks, or whatever they decide to call it. I know I swore I would never get another Sammy after the fiasco I had with my old SGS2, but I really miss having a removable battery and SD card. I am also considering the Xperia Z, too. Probably wait and see what the screen and rom development is like when it's released before I make a decision.

Id say wait too.
Remember when we got our HOX? Just months after that the plus version was released and it looks the same will happen with the butterfly as well.
In my view we should change phones every 1 1/2 or 2 years.Since we are in the trip of spending a lot for top notch smartphones its best to wait around to get something much much better than HOX rather than getting something slightly improved.But that's just me......

My upgrades due on my desire but as I've got me hox there isn't anything worth upgrading to now.. love me hox. Won't be getting another HTC though with their crappy s-off policy.
The Lenovo looks nice, or that waterproof thingy.... oooh too much to choose from.. (soon). If it wasn't for touchwiz I'd think about the s4.
Now an s4 with sense, wouldn't that be awesome?
I will wait for MWC 2013 then, I hope they will come out with a 12mp camera this time and 1080p on 4.7'' so I will wait to May as usual.
Droid DNA is already making iphone 5 retina eating the dust so a 4.7'' with 1080p will be...:silly:

I personally still think the HTC One is superior to the G2. When comparing One to the S4, well the One hands down since the S4 is locked down right now.
i debated the same thing about a month ago. I am very happy with the ONE. I went with the one mostly because I was afraid about the lack of cases available for the verizon one. The VZW back is different than other G2s. I held both in store and the superior build qualtiy of the one put me over the edge.
development is much better on the G2 at the moment though.
Im happy with my decision.
I have played with a few of the other flagship phones like the S4 and the G2, and hands down the One takes the prize. In my opinion, that is.

The G2 looks amazing on paper and the super slim bezels look great. But the buttons on the back of the phone have made me think twice about it, as well as its plastic everything.

I had the S4, and the G2, and still prefer the HTC One. Maybe its the look of the UI itself, but I thought the S4 and G2 were almost the same. both very cheap cartoony looking. I was also not a fan of the back buttons at all.
There are so many USEFUL suprises on the HTC One that I have used more in a week, then the unneeded special stuff on the S4 that I had for over 2 months. I am VERY happy that I got the HTC one and sold the S4. And I wasnt even rooted on the One or S4.

I was really iffy about the camera as well since i owned the s4 at the same time. HOWEVER, granted the s4 has a much higher megapixel the One camera has a far more accurate color replicatiion. The only downside to the One cam is cropping and zooming on a photo. If you are okay with a image that comes out in excellent quality when printed at its natural size(close to 8x12 i think) then you will be good to go.

Ive been looking at comparison shots of the One vs the GS4. Checks out. Honestly, for snapping pictures of my cats, the One will do just fine.
Always thought the iPhone was the de-facto standard for camera phones. Well last weekend in Philly I got an unbelievable shot of the monument for African Americans by the liberty bell that my gf couldn't with her 5s because of the lighting. For point and shoot, I've had no regrets.

How long have you had yours? Is there a certain batch that had the bad camera? I've also read that some users have fixed it with another rom, or the 4.3 update. It all seems messy and no clear answer in sight.
Hey everyone first off if I say anything stupid I apologize in advance.
So due to the Verizon sale on the HTC one I decided to leave the S4 behind for more then one reason.
First being that the build quality is piss poor at best, and second I can't get my AOSP fix.
My only questions are
1. Has anyone else gone from the s4 to the one? If so any regrets?
2. The most important question: is there any chance of me getting a HTC one that I can't flash Roms on. I.e. upgraded firmware etc..
If everything checks out I hope to joining this community soon!

Oh word. I myself much prefer the feel and shape. With a one there's a wow factor for how solid it feels. It really does feel great. The diff in screen size is hardly noticeable. While the one screen pops I do envy how the s4 looks like there's no depth. Speed is about the same. The camera on the one is better IMO but both have their strengths. Battery on the one is better over all. And the no physical buttons is a plus to me. Plus the volume and power buttons are hardly noticeable unless your using them. I suggest using santods tiktak ROM if you like aosp. Very smooth and stable. Still in beta too so means it'll just get bettet

I went from s4 to the one. No regrets at all. Only pro s4 had in my opinion is a little better camera.

I wanted the One before it came to Verizon, so I got the S4 instead, but switched when the opportunity presented itself. I'm pretty happy with it. While I enjoyed the S4, the build quality doesn't compare to the One. The S4 has a better camera, but the One has awesome speakers. They really do have their own strengths and weaknesses. Put a KitKat ROM on your One and go out and enjoy it!

Hey everyone first off if I say anything stupid I apologize in advance.
So due to the Verizon sale on the HTC one I decided to leave the S4 behind for more then one reason.
First being that the build quality is piss poor at best, and second I can't get my AOSP fix.
My only questions are
1. Has anyone else gone from the s4 to the one? If so any regrets?
2. The most important question: is there any chance of me getting a HTC one that I can't flash Roms on. I.e. upgraded firmware etc..
If everything checks out I hope to joining this community soon!

Hope to see here you. The SG4 was a "fun" phone, I guess I'd describe it, but the HTC One is a real mans phone. No cheapy plastic, HTC Sense is great, I personally love it. I do miss the feeling of, oh hey I can just toss this phone around, with the HTC One, it's just too perfect, so for the first time since my first smart phone (HTC Eris) I put a very light, clear TPU case, which I absolutely LOVE. Don't have to worry about the metal getting dinged up on the sides, (it's a very soft metal, if you check out scratch videos on youtube, you can see on this one side the metal is VERY light and susceptible to scratches, I had no case for like the first 3 days, I went to pick up the phone and accidentally like push it forward (it was on a table) and it pushed into a lighter.. to my surprise I now have a small scratch from the tip of the metal lighter. That's when I went and found the case. I couldn't believe it scratched it, It was such a soft touch to the lighter.
I went without a case on the sg3/sg4 and both are still 9/10 condition.

Love HTC One
I think the HTC One is better. You can't beat the boom sound speakers, and it's so easy to root and s-off. There are so many great ROMs available too. Can't go wrong
