- Quad core 1.5 GHz
#1 in 2012 HTC phones
Released April, 2012
Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)Thankfully HTC also provides a group of equalizer settings and per CNET headphones editor Justin Yu's suggestion, I tried the Sweetener profile, and found it offered the most balanced audio across all genres to my ears and his.
Conclusion Check out the HTC One X
First reviewed April, 2012
Features Key features of the HTC One X
1.5 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 4G
Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The HD screen is the best we've ever seen, its quad core processor is mighty fast, its camera mostly impressive and its design is reasonably smart.
screen size
4.7"
4"
4.3"
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)In the hand, the AT&T model benefits from the same design elements as the original — the curves make it feel even thinner than it actually is, and the large display helps push the surface area-to-thickness ratio in the right direction.
One X by Mark-Ong (Jun, 2012)Finally, the camera is fast and the big screen makes for easy composition.
screen resolution
One X by c|net (Apr, 2012)The result is a camera with crisp detail and pleasing quality that's as good as the iPhone 4S', while having a more aggressive HDR mode.
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)The physical details of this phone are exquisite, and it's clear that HTC's designers fussed over each and every one of them at length.

processor
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)It’s certainly the most powerful, thanks to a 1.5GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, a 4.7-inch 720p display, an 8-megapixel camera with some aggressive specs, and 32GB of storage.
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The Terga 3 chipset, despite being a quad-core one, is based on the older, Cortex-A9, architecture, so it's not dramatically faster than the latest generation dual-core Krait processors.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 13 MP  | 20 MP |
One X by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)Not because it features more megapixels – it's still an 8-megapixel model – but because it has a host of other improvements and a superfast continuous shooting mode.
One X by Mark-Ong (Jun, 2012)In terms of quality, it seems consistent with other 8 megapixel cameras from the previous generation.
Performance Real world tests of HTC One X
cpu speed
One X by Erik-M (Jun, 2012)Great looks, great processor speed and the lazy battery (I need to charge it every night).
talk time
600 min
1,260 min
900 min
One X by c|net (May, 2012)AT&T claims the HTC One X will run for 12.5 days in standby mode and provide 8.5 hours of talk time.
One X by ugur (Jun, 2012)People complained that they can't replace the battery with the backup battery in daily usage but i must say that there is no difference between carrying a backup battery or external charger.

Screen
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)It gets very bright, brighter in fact than the HTC One S' qHD AMOLED screen, and has viewing angles that are nice and wide.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)On top of all that, viewing angles are essentially infinite with no shift in colour on contrast as you view it from an angle.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 84% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)There's a notification LED embedded underneath the earpiece grille which is quite bright and easy to make out in any light, but it's not very versatile.
Apps
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The Music app itself, though, is great with it integrating other music services into the one interface.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The Music app brings together your local music and other music services in one easy interface.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by Mark-Ong (Jun, 2012)Sound quality is decent but not fantastic (am referring to voice - I haven't played any music on it yet).
Carrier
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)AT&T sprinkles the device with its own selection of apps, such as U-verse Live TV, which serves up both live programming and full TV episodes and movies (for an extra $9.99 per month, and you can't use it over Wi-Fi), a bar code scanner, and FamilyMap for locating family members ($9.99 per month for two family members, $14.99 for up to five).
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by HTC-ONE-X (May, 2012)If you stay in Akron,OH OR Cleveland,OH the HTC ONE X will run on T-Mobile Hapa+ AKA 4G, T-Mobile is running a 1900 mzh & that will get you HAPA + Downloads, so have fun kida.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by Ham (May, 2012)Lastely...to get any T-Mobile data to work you need to buy a specific Micro SIM from T-Mobile (version 50.01).
Camera
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by VS (Apr, 2012)The camera is fast as promised though I still feel it takes a little longer to launch than I would have liked it to.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by ugur (Jun, 2012)[...]. Camera performance is great in daylight and good compared to most of the phones including gs3 at night time.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 84% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)As for image quality, I can't confidently say these are the best cameraphone photos I've ever seen, which was what I was expecting considering what a big deal HTC had made about it when these handsets were announced several weeks ago.
Battery
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 84% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)With two and a half hours of hotspot use in LTE coverage, about 40 minutes of heavy-duty benchmarking, and a 40-minute phone call, I still managed some seven hours and 14 minutes before it gave up the ghost.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by Anderson (Sep, 2012)The display is amazing, although, it comsumes too much battery.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 60% by by HW--fisher (Sep, 2012)Has nice features but battery life could be better.

vote Stick with your HTC X. The Nexus 4 is a nice phone, but there is not enough of a differences between the 2 phones to take a loss on your HTC X.
