HTC One X Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- PhoneArena presents a video review of the HTC One X - the new flagship of the Taiwanese manufacturer. In terms of specs, the HTC One X is a beast - it has a giant 4.7" HD S-LCD 2 screen, the new quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8MP ImageSense camera... all in all - a lot of stuff to brag about. The phone also comes with the new version of the Sense UI - 4.0, which has been simplified and enhanced for a different, but still HTC-like user experience. However, after testing it thoroughly, we came to the conclusion that the phone isn't as flawless as it seems. Watch our video to find out about its pros and cons!

Getting this phone for christmas
I'm pumped to listen to the beats audio while snowboarding
Surely the 'Resizing' @11:20 is the phone assessing the view of the page you've zoomed to and then adjusting it so you can see complete sections of text as opposed to the cropped sections you've most likely zoomed to?
Complex and informative review, yet very briefly edited. nice job. Keep it up Phone Arena guys. Good struggle with the english. Appreciate it.
The text reflow and "blink" can be turned off in settings, the video recorder records in 30 and even 60 fps and it only shows them as 23 fps when you view them in slow motion. I also think the dpad in the keyboard very useful, I had a HTC desire and I loved its trackpad and have been missing it while writing text ever since
Good points on the browser. Have you tried chrome for android yet?
the qwerty colour looks fine to me. white against black/dark grey, should be easy to see?
About the browser - you can actually turn off the text reflow; in menuaccessibilityauto-fit. The menu comes up when you scroll up. Not hard to understand.
One again a great review. Although people might think it is very negative, i find it refreshing to hear a review which does not feel like a commercial. You have to take al the negative issues at face value and it gives me the possibility to decide if they are a showstopper or not. I personally think this is a great phone and the video has not changed my mind about buying it.
Thanks for quality, non-biased review. Good to see there's sources that are able to provide constructive criticism.
i'm subscribed to the verge and technobuffalo and u guys all released the review of this phone all at the same time. i'm a big fan of both but i wanted to let you know u did the best review of the 3. you wernt all school girl about getting a new phone and you gave pro as well as CONs with the review. i really don't like how whenever a new phone comes out they always say this is the BEST phone. that seems to be the case every two weeks or so....
Really ? I'm looking to get one . It's so awesome . What's your plan & price & who are you with ?
This is the best review I've seen of this phone. Cover a lot of things others fail to mention.
@PhoneArena
While on the web browser, the keys are not just randomly appearing and disappearing, its actually well thought out: When you touch the screen they appear to let you tab, etcetera, and when you no longer touch the screen (presumably because you want to read or look at the images) they disappear in order to allow for full screen real estate. Its smart.
PS. As a phone reviewer, you should know this.
im torn between the htc one x and the galaxy s 3, i dont like the feel of the s 3 but the way it performs is amazing, any suggestions which one i should pick?
I am very impressed with your review. It was very thorough, and very thoughtful. You pay great attention not just to the details, but the experience. Well done.
Im planning on buying a new smartphone, i want the best one basically, which ones are considered better then this one?
This phone seems awesome. Does tmobile have it?
Fantastic review. Thorough, detailed, completely objective, this is exactly what a review should be!
The text re-flow in the browser is actually brilliant, it does for you what you'd do manually anyway. But if you actually get confused by it, go for something else because it'll occur in any browser you use. And he didn't talk about how fast the processor really is. The LCD-2 is different from any other super LCD out there, better than the amoled ones in fact.
Also at 13:00 it give two difference times at the top and the clock. Hope there will be a fix then.
what do you mean the keys don't contrast enough with the background? It's white on black/grey; not much more contrast available
Simply install the "HTC IME Mod" WM7-styled keyboard and you're good to go.
Got this one on my Desire S. I don't see any other problems with this one.
Thinking about getting the One X.
You can setup multiple timezones and choose the one you want displayed on the clock widget. Simple as that.
Definitely!!! My brother and I both have international version and they are awesome!!!
should i get this one or the galaxy s3? i actually like the one x a little better now
honest review like this deserves more likes.
How is it in any way irrelevant how big the phone is? It is very hard to see in photos the actual size of a 4,7" screen, so it helped me A LOT when he compared it to the iphone, witch size we all know.
I think they could have shown some performance test by using a 3D application.
The "reflowing of the text" is what happens also with my HTC Desire HD, and it's what makes me LOVE HTC and it's browser implementation. It might even happen on other Android phones, since it's all Webkit. The reflow of text makes sure, that I don't have to zoom to fit the text or scroll left and right to read an entire column at a decent font size! I cannot understand how this could be rated as "bad"!
why is there a difference of 2 hours between the widget time and notification bar time?
hey guys im having a hard time choosing between the htc one x and the galaxy s3 the one x has the better screen but the galaxy s3"s exynos processor is better than the tegra 3 (according to benchmarks) which one would u recommend?
Hi im looking to get new phone at moment im using samsung galaxy s2 but not happy with ics as its damiged my softwhere and all my apps dont work what would u say was the best phone to get out of htc one x or sony xperia s or gs3 or any other quad core phones
Just pointing out that if you hold down the shutter button in camera mode, it will do 4 photos in every second. It's much faster than shown in the review.
The zoom feature that realigns the text stops you having to scroll back and forth and is an iconic feature of HTC sense, also the menu pops up when you scroll down, but its android download dolphin or chrome job done, this is the one you've been waiting for......
Sent from HTC One X
I've had it for a few days, and The battery life is actually really good! Drains faster than the iphone (if thats what you'd be going from) because of the bigger screen. I've used my so much and rarely give it time to rest (because at my work we can be on our phones and watch TV for the whole day when not busy) and it will make it through my shift (about 7 hours) and then afew hours into me being home. and thats with me being on it constantly
Can anyone pls tell me which one's better the HTC ONE X or SONY XPERIA S? Will the price of HTC ONE X com down soon or de we hav to wait?
Здрасти.С iPhone 4s съм,и мисля да го заменя със този телефон,на който правиш ревю.Какво би ми казал?Има ли смисъл да правя? :)
NICE REVIEW, GOOD PHONE FRIEND. I like it but camera not so great in dim lighting. Only complaint.
Some comments calling the reviewer biased to iphone are just childish.
This guy isn't biased. I owned a lot of android device and hated the browser on the One X. The problems he mentioned are real and annoying plus there is a lot more not mentioned like delayed scrolling response on some web pages with flash and choppy pinch zooming.
Keep up the critical way of doing reviews Phonearena.
I know this is an old video but this phone is still an amazing piece of kit! I'm using jellybean 4.2.2 with Sense 4+which has given this phone a much better sense experience. I do have faster roms installed but some are too battery intensive and sense seems to give you about as good as you'll get regarding battery life. If course, I carry a rechargeable battery accessory which really makes the battery life moot. Root the device, flash Roms and Kernels if you are confident. What a device!
I had to return my HTC One X due to signal losses during the next 2 days after I bought it, I switched to S3 and now I am more happy and confident, HTC has a great shape and great screen but that is about it. Battery life is short and the operation some times has lags is not as smooth as S3.
hey when i download a filr from my email i dont know where to get my document in my device ???
People just dislike the video because he doesn't just say "this phone is the best." i love how he actually shows the negatives of the browser. most reviewers wouldn't show those weird tendencies of it.
very comprehensive review.. and the criticisms he said were very informative, yes, those problems are minimal but at 2012, a flagship with a quadcore processor should not have these problems. But in total, this is still one of the best phones made.. PERIOD
@PalmFace93 What does it matter? And you can't see the differenties between 'em
You obviously know a lot more than i do. Props to you for getting the details straight! :)
Is it possible to disable arrow keys on the virtual keyboard in settings???
amazing review...
very nicely done..very good use of language to express your views and thank you for showing the phone with all its pros and cons.
fuck the haters for thinking u dont know how to do a review.
Which one is better? T-Mobile's, AT&T's, or Sprint's? Or are they all the same?
@PhoneArena you did a great job with the review and I admire you sincerity even though it cost you a lot of haters. I feel that as a reviewer you are awesome and deserve a great thumbs up!!!
Wow, so many people are leaving negative comments about his accent and the fact that he has breaks in sentences. The fact is he has made an effort to do an in depth review in a different language to which he is used to ; which is better than most of the people who are dissing him could produce. I found the review informative and helpful, so stop being childish and produce something better if you think his review is bad.
Yea, been watching and readon a ton of stuff but my concern now is...when is the galaxy siii arriving? :S
Hey what sim i need to use because my sim from my old phone it didn't work in the HTC ONE X ..... Can someone help me? It didn't fit in ....
i have a serious question, is the htc one x and CDMA phone? im trying to use this phone on the straight talk wireless plan. do u know?
Does it still have the notification light?
Oh the battery performance was increased on the first update, the guy is doing a good review, all phones have bad an good things
that browser issue he talked is not an issue. if you touch the screen the controls appear and if you flick they dont
How do you find the One X mate? Iv got mine coming Friday :D
i got this HTC few months ago and i can honestly tell you this is the best money i ever spent.I work on cruise ships 8 months at a time and im extensevly using this phone,for me lap top is too big too carry around and i just dont like tablets that much.It blows my minde how good it is.
watching this review on my new htc one x and man it looks gorgeous
How come the other reviewers in RUclips seem to have phones that seem faster? Did they get updated, commercial released phones?
Does it have better screen than Galaxy s2? hows the gaming on this mobile?
what if the phone freezes? no removable battery means frozen BIG TIME?
Does this phone have a power saver mode or app?
I believe that the browser blinking thing its the auto fit pages you find on the browser settings, maybe if you turn that off it will stop doing it
nice review, really helpful. Keep up the good work!
Hey dude, very good review, it really teached me a lot! Greetings from Holland. God bless you ;)
you did forget to mention though you can take still shots while you record video
You guys need to understand this review was before the updates to the phone, with new Sense features and fixes. I got the phone last week (before ultimately being broken into) and the phone was amazing, it was quick, it stood up to my friends S3 with no problems and it did literally everything I wanted it to: play games, let me be social, look awesome.
Jellybean comes out soon for the One X which will make the phone even better.. now I've gotta find the cash to buy another one ;c
should i buy this phone for 80 qwid
can you take screen shots on the htc one x?
Why all of u guys so angry about this guy voice ? Who care about it ? He the best phone review for me !
Great review as usual! Thanks for the honest insights....I still think this is the best phone in the market though. Keyboard and browser can be replaced.
should i get the galaxy s2 skyrocket or htc one x?
Yes it has! Its in the front speaker..
Waiting for SGSIII, it's gonna be well worth the wait!
It looks so pretty! In white!!!
i wuz planning on getting an htc one x but this video made me change my mind and think bout getting a galaxy s3, wut should i get. someone help!!!!
HTC have been using similar designs before this phone was released, this phone was also released before the 920 and all of its predecessors were released before then too.
You said that this is not the best Android phone out there. Which phones do you have in mind?
The keys in the browser aren't shown randomly, they're shown when you scroll down.
please drop this guy as a reviewer phonearena
I love your reviews!!
who do you work for... sony or samsung ?
can any 1 please please please please tell me that how's the battery life ov this phone with mostly usage of TEXT N Browsing...???? please tell me ..dnt reply in camparision of x-y-z cell ..just rep @ One x
wow i actually watched the whole video @@ that was a good honest review, good job.
It may be because the clock on the background is from another time zone. I don't know.
Fantastic video
Apart from between 18.00 and 19.00 where I started to drift of into watching Monsters vs. Aliens...
LOL!!!
Love the accent. stop the hate :) live long and prosper. It totally reminded me of Pavel Chekov. :)
The annoyances with the Browser do exist. HTC One X owners - There's no need to rage here trying to justify your purchase. If you like your phone, that's good. If others don't like what they see here, they don't. Learn to accept the facts as they are and respect others opinions instead of trying to turn your opinions into facts.
I'm happy with this Review, very fair.
WOW!!! I find it amazing that this guy is able to find so many "flaws" in this really, almost perfect , smartphone. If you are a normal person and not sponsored by Apple you would find HTC OneX to be THE BEST phone on the market right now. Anyway, it performs way better than SG2 and only bad thing is that the battery can be drained out daily with little more use ( ie. surfing, recording and reproducing videos, using GPS etc. ). I would recommend HTC OneX to anyone!!!
I can understand what other people are saying about the reviewer after watching the video.
It seems he has not been using HTC phones because he basically compares every action to what apple does. I.e. the "constant text reflow" is to reconfigure the text so that it is easier to read in context of the "zoomed in area" as people don't want to just see pixels. The keyboard is fine too since most people I know use the in built dictionary or they can use swipe.
He doesn't like different designs.
I liked the review n the phone.. Although the creaking problem pointed out by some guys is very serious.. I think I'm gonna wait for S3 n then decide..
does it come with earbuds?
you did a great job with phone review but i just expecting more about the camera (picture and video), if you can maybe compare the result with other hoe on it's class side by side, the battery life time (full on 3G) and does the handset get overheat from just playing game on it..,
why do i say this, it just because i saw your review on htc sensation and bought one,
it is indeed "a phone that get you" as the htc moto says it except for the part that it just ridiculous battery life time,
well the cpu is supposed to be exactly the same between Galaxy s3 and One xl, amoled screen eats up the battery unlike lcd on the one x so not so sure.
So many dislikes because this guy is actually doing what a reviewer should, talking about the things aren't ARE NOT so great about a phone.
finally a video where htc one x has a different wallpaper then stock one :P
That was not an iPhone 4S at 1:42 it was an iPhone 4. No antenna divider towards the top of the phone.
How is the battery life?
It's a special type of carbon plastic, which may not be metal but it's still very strong and has a premium feel.
