HTC One X
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
- 4G
- 4.7"
- Quad core 1.5 GHz
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 GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)While it's still not as good as a hardware one, it's the next best thing - the 4.7" screen has enough real estate for big, well-spaced keys, which are easy to hit.
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 GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)Not only is it remarkably sharp (at about 312 ppi, it's virtually impossible to distinguish individual pixels), but also has great contrast and nicely saturated colors.
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.
memory

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).
One X by The Verge (Apr, 2012)Devices that stay perfectly cool are a casualty of the processor war, it seems — moving to smaller transistors helps significantly, but it's always counterbalanced by higher performance.
talk time
600 min
900 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 100% by by Andres-Pacheco-Lopez (Dec, 2012)The screen is amazing, in my opinion even better than the Samsung Galaxy s3's amoled screen.
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.
Camera
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by Serial-Shopper (Dec, 2012)I compared photo quality (focus, color aberration, etc.) to my excellent 16MP Lumix with a Leica lens and I can hardly tell the difference.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by M.-Al-Banna--Lucky (May, 2012)Camera: 8 mp but it is okay, i wouldnt say its the best n greatest, but it is just good and clear and best about it is the snap shots, if u wud like to take few pics at few seconds, thats the one.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 40% by by Jesus-Antonio-Vera-Diaz (Aug, 2012)I really enjoyed using this phone, because of the neat camera and the good performance.
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 84% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)I'm not saying some users don't appreciate Beats — it definitely makes music more "exciting" sounding — but if you're looking for "authentic" music reproduction, Beats definitely isn't the answer.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by DRVSTECH (Jun, 2012)I can get through 2-3 days before charge if I don't use it that much due to its companion core from the NVidia Tegra3 processor that displays really nice graphics and has some games that are specific for Tegra3 from NVidia and its developers.
Battery
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by FelipeZ (Jul, 2012)HTC one X is a great device, high performance, great images and videos and good signal reception as well, like the others smartphones the problem is the battery life, but it does its best.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 100% by by JoHnOf course you can buy an extra battery with the S3 and swipe batteries cos the one X has a built in battery which the user can't replace on his own, but again you can buy a charging case for the oneX!
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 80% by by Anderson (Sep, 2012)The display is amazing, although, it comsumes too much battery.
Video
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)1080p videos I shot also were clear and exhibited none of the blocky pixelation I've seen from phones with lower-res camcorders.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 86% by by c|net (May, 2012)Another one of the One X's handy skills is the ability to record video in up to full 1080p HD quality and grab 8MP stills either while the camera is rolling or when playing back movies later.
HTC One X Quad Core | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)Video playback is flawless with the phone able to handle even the highest bit rate videos that some dedicated media players can't handle.

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.
