HTC just announced one of the most highly-talked about devices during Mobile World Congress. Usually, we won’t see new phones from that show launch for several months. It’s sort of a preview of what’s to come, if you will. Today, a second report surfaced saying that TSMC, the alleged maker of the chips used for the phone, has halted production of its chips as of mid-February. So what? That’s before the phone was even announced. We don’t even have expectations yet as to when it will hit the market. Delayed? Not at all. Maybe TSMC hit a speed bump when it came to 28nm chip demand, but without a solid date provided by HTC already it’s hard to believe that there’s any delay at all. The One X will hit the market when it’s ready, and that’s good for consumers. We shouldn’t be covering stories in a negative light, which ultimately might lead consumers to think there’s something wrong with the phone, when there fundamentally isn’t.
just a shout out for people who thought it might come out soon.
there was a rumor that T-mo would be getting a Tegra 3 One X. It will be interesting to see how that is affected by these delays.

that would be awesome, not sure if it would work because the reason the tegra 3 wont be in the att model is because it doesn't support atts lte. maybe it supports tmobiles 4g.. idk, samsungs exynos didn't

It's likely that if T-mobile gets a version, they'll get a Tegra 3 variant, instead of an MSM 8960 one. Although, Tegras actually don't have on-chip radio hardware.
I saw that on Phone GSM the phones Theoretical release date was April. IDK if it will even effect the release date. I have seen Jet Engines get halted in production and they can still roll out about a solid 1000 aircraft on release date... As to its not coming soon they could no something that we don't it could still be on a timely release.

lol true, I honestly don't care, im probably not going to buy the s4 version or even the tegra version. the mobile market is getting huge this year and the only thing on these phones that has caught my attention is the camera, software, and the polycarbonate design. other then that I have my eyes on the asus padfone, Panasonic eluga, and whenever nokia gets further into its pureview technology on upcoming WP update. im just going to wait and see what comes out later on if Sony decides to make a devices with 2012 hardware I would be sold in a heartbeat
I'd say it'd be awfully silly of nvidia not to consider designing for DC-HSDPA. LTE is understandable. This, less so.
I'm gonna wait for the next gen quads anyways, not entirely enticed by first gen anything ( I'm a hater I know )
Though I might have to reconsider if one of these new htc series drops as stock vanilla android on T-Mobile, love me the g series phones ( LG not included )

im not going to wait for next gen, we probably wont be seeing next gen ones in a long while anyways (unless you're talking about the exynos). im a huge fan of the tegra 3 and the technology NVidia put in it. they failed with the tegra 2 but stepped up their game with this. you can stream skyrim with NO lag at all from your computer with this chip, that's pretty good. im just not a huge fan of the devices that are coming out, im gonna wait till it hits more handsets.
Yeah last I heard this phone was only coming to AT&T in the U.S. but of course that wouldnt stop people from getting it to work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.

Tmobile is getting the HTC One S which has a snapdragon S4 dual core processor with sense 4.0 (ICS). Also it has a 1.5 GHz processor to show off it's speed and sense 4.0

if you ever had the atrix.... the screen was horrid, the fact that I had the first "qHD" phone made me happy but it looked worse than my old mytouch 3g. you could actually see the pixels. I honestly didn't know one person who liked it. whenever I upgraded to the sensation the difference was night and day. I don't see why htc would pick pentile. pentile displays have less sub-pixels which makes it pointless to be even called qHD.
edit: just remembered, the only good thing about pentile is that its good on battery life. id rather have not grainy pictures though. guess that my opinion. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/2...x2-and-its-qhd-display-pentile-at-its-finest/

So over the last couple weeks I’ve been looking in to purchasing a new phone, and to be honest it has been pretty difficult deciding which new phone to get. As I’m sure everyone has, I’ve taken at the iPhone 4 and I have to admit that the apps and such that it offers are impressive. I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something about the iPhone that just doesn’t do it for me though. Instead I’ve been getting pretty excited, like others, about the upcoming HTC Desire HD and although information about the phone is moslty based on rumors I still believe that this phone will be phenominal.
The phone will supposedly run Adroid 2.2 which will allow the phone’s cpu to run up to 2-5 times faster with the OS. This massive change is just between 2.1 and 2.2 and with future Android updates I’m sure that the Adroid OS will only help the HTC Desire HD reach an even higher potential. From what I’ve seen of the original HTC Desire, this phone will be awesome, but if I need a phone soon is it really worth the wait?
Eh. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything HTC will be able to do to keep up with Apple and the iPhone line. Everything that it comes out with seems to be always a day late and a dollar short. The fact that there are barely any apps for the HTC and the fact that the iPhone has the full strength of many veteran app designers behind it means that the iPhone will always be better. My opinion, buy the iPhone4.
what does any of this have to do with the HTC HD2???

Lol this did make me laugh, I know Apple invented video calls three months ago, and gimmicky apps definately make a phone.
The fact they made a phone with a 1Ghz processor and lesser specs than a HD2 eight months after it's release. And less than six months before HTC are on the cusp of releasing a dual core mobile processor with a brand new OS. But yeah, you're right, HTC will never be able to keep up.

I wouldn't call it iPhone bashing, it's just stating facts, with a little sarcasm tacked on for good measure!
The only plus for apple is it's stability.
On the other hand Apple keeps their mobiles low spec, so less chance for errors/problems.
The thing that affronts me the most is the fact that Steve Jobs determines wether apps can be installed or not (remember the "nude" app?), although by this testing / approving of software the phone is more stabe, the manufacturer decides what you can do with your phone, really: Big Brother (steve) is watching you.
Exactly for that reason I do not believe it is a good business phone... it is a good n00b-phone.

I agree with Wilco on this one. I really do hate the fact that Steve Jobs has got his hand in everything little thing you’re able to do with the iPhone. A smart phone to me is almost like laptop nowadays, and for that reason I feel like I should be able to run anything I wish, whether it be stable for the phone or not. If it weren’t for that “affront” as Wilco says, I ‘d probably be jumping on the iPhone bandwagon with much less resistance.

Nope... if we continue to wait for the next big thing in technology, how can we ever enjoy any of it? The evolution of phones is moving very fast... as soon as you get your hands on this new 1.4 ghz phone they will be releasing notes on the even newer 2ghz phone of the future.... I am excited to get my hands on this device and will hold on to it until my next upgrade is available, gives me something to look forward to without having to focus on each new thing out there!

I can agree that if we just keep waiting for the "NEXT BIG THING," we'll never really get a chance to enjoy what's now. Think of it this way, you have a phone that's less than a week old, so you're doing pretty good. Will this phone last for a while? Sure, I think it will. But this is coming from me, who just upgraded from a HERO. So, I think I can hold onto this phone until my next upgrade (1 year from June 24th.)

I can say quite positively that you added nothing to this post, and only took away from it. Maybe it was not "smart" or "high quality", but you just decreased the intelligent level of the conversation. Thank you for that.
I agree with everyone. I am not a tech junkie, I don't have to have the best of the best. I am a graduate student in neurology. I also have a lot a bit of experience in computer programming. I actually used my Org Evo to interface with research equipment and analysis data. Well the software we use continues to advance and demands better phones. So I am just trying to future proof myself in that area. I am trying to make sure the phone's hardware is all that it is suppose to be. If my original evo was up to par, I would still be using that.
I believe that it is. I honestly believe, based off an in depth talk with a gentleman whose entire career is based on developing microchips like the one we see in our phones. He is adamant that the newest generation of qualcomm (spelling) processors are the best he has seen in a phone this far.
Anyway, that combined with the reputation HTC has, the 3vo seems like a great bet.
lol, this is the age old question for tech Buy something that just came out, or wait for something better coming out later
If you go with the attitude to wait, then why not wait forever and get nothing I mean lets say you hold off on the EVO-3D, and wait for the slightly better Galaxy S2, but don't get that the Nexus-4.0 will be even better than the Galaxy S2, but wait, the Nexus-4.0 will be trumped by the best yet Galaxy S3 due next spring per Samsung, but wait the Galaxy S3 will be outdone by the EVO-Three.
What if while waiting for the next best thing, you get killed in a car wreck tomorrow, thus never enjoying the cool tech we have right here, right now.
Oh yeah, the words "Future Proof" lol uh no such thing...
To the OP -
What people have said in this thread makes perfect sense. If you wait for THOSE phones there will be even better ones around the corner in the future too. So you would simply be right back in the same situation.
I can see the 3vo being the 2nd legit 22 month phone. the og Evo being the 1st.
Like others have said you can't keep waiting or you'll never get. As for a 1.4 dual. Meh what's it really going to do that your 1.2's can't do? well outside of increase your penis size in a pissing match. Heck thats about all the quad cores are going to do too.
phones are advancing too fast. there is hardly anything out there that will take full advantage of the dual core phones. i think getting the 3vo would be fine because it will take a bit before developers catch up with it and by then you'll be due for an upgrade.
will be returning evo 3D. Its no diff from EVO 4G besides the 3D and the dual core. waiting for samsung gs2 or Motorola Photon.

Yeah the QHD screen, the better form factor on the body of the phone, double the ram, 4 times the internal storage (this will matter a lot more when we have root and custom roms), the actual camera button, the newer build, second microphone for noise cancelling. You're right the Evo 4G had all of those.
only thing thats making me more and more want to return the phone is..
its not that I don't believe HTC will unlock the phone...
its how many good Dev's are we losing in the meantime?

Some background on this video...
How these guys in Vietnam manage to do it is beyond me. Tinhte.vn has done it yet again. They have managed to get hold of the Galaxy S3 and did a short video of it, in HD and posted it on Youtube where it went viral before it was pulled down.
Since then, a number of reposts have been made by other parties which makes taking the video down more difficult if not impossible. Tinhte published the first unboxing of the iPad 3 (or new ipad), it was also the first website to come up with the white iPhone 4 with 64GB.
The video shows a phone that appears to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a similar system memory capacity, display size and resolution and OS. The onboard storage stands at 16GB, there's a quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 processor clocked at 1.4GHz, NFC, an eight megapixel camera and a 2050mAh battery.
This matches some sources which said that the Galaxy S3 would be an incremental improvement over the Galaxy S2 rather than a radical change.
The new phone appears to have dropped the slight bulge at the back and opted for a flat smartphone, certainly as a result of the case brought again Samsung by Apple over claims that the S2 was the thinnest phone in the world.
Read more: http://www.itproportal.com/2012/04/20/video-samsung-galaxy-s3-finally-emerges/#ixzz1sbXXXwCj
Meh. The video doesn't really reveal anything we didn't already expect. Plus, the phone is disguised in a generic case, so we can't see what the real design is going to look like.
The 2050mah battery is an improvement, but not what we need. We need something similar to the 3300mah battery in the Razr Maxx. Especially if it's not removable.
At this point, the only thing that will make me interested in buying this phone is if it ends up being bezel-less, and that is looking unlikely.
Why is this here?
And if those specs are indeed the real specs, Im glad Im jumping to the One X. The AT&T version will probably put in a Snapdragon processor for LTE (because every new smartphone has to have LTE now) and it wont have NFC due to AT&T pouring money into Isis. Incremental update indeed.

I'm really torn on what to do. I got my GS2 on the 9th so the One X release date is well within my 30 day return window. But to be honest, I'm sick of Sense and really had my heart set on the GS3.
I suppose the financially prudent thing to do is get the One X so it will have the best resale value should I have an incurable boner over the GS3.

I knew the next batch of super phones was on the horizon and the One X would hopefully be out before my 30 days was up. The GS2 is such an upgrade over the Amaze, this is almost like new hotness to me.
I've been called a lot of things in my day, but patient isn't one of them.
did you guys not hear that was not the actual case the GS3 is going to be using? It's just a dummy case.

Anyone put any thought into the blue and white puddles. Could it be a liquid metal type screen.....or the flexible screen. Just a thought i had for the hell of it.
Edit:
After looking around i see that Apple has an "exclusive commercial license to it"
Probably old news...so don't tase me bros....
Stay thirsty my friends
I say in a year and a half our phones will have 2 to 2.5x the power and capabilities we currently have - but I'm willing to bet batteries won't improve for 3ish years.
These things will be able to replace laptops and desktops through docks or projectors and better use of connected peripherals like virtual keyboards and wireless mice.
I'm betting 3.6-5ghz processors, 100-200gb space, faster/instant networking, full mobile gpu's and hacking will be more prevalent maybe even problematic to society.
Ah computers.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/...rier-launch-att-verizon-sprint-t-mobile-uscc/
Or so it appears. They're launching the same phone on all networks, US and globally, with the only variation being radios and RAM. This might actually mean timely updates, no bloatware, etc.
My god. I'm a bit stunned. I was pretty sure I was going to get a GS3, but this might make it a done deal.
Knowing Verizon though, they'll find a way to mess it up. Fingers crossed they don't..
Edit: Well, the hardware looks to be the same-- http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/06/03/exclusive-photos-this-is-the-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
Well LTE doesn't work with quad cores so it will have to have a different processor.

2GB instead of 1GB of RAM. Another surprise.
I'm really disappointed in the GSIII in general. I had high hopes but it's nothing revolutionary. More like GSII.5

Oh my gosh
Its not like it really has to be, though. Its basically a GS2S, if you'll pardon my language. Its better in every way, but not revolutionary.

The Galaxy S series aka iPhone clone trololol. Should see all the people QQing about no quadcore . Not really impressed with the S3 to be honest. Most apps barely utilize 2 cores as is, there's not much UI difference between 1core and 2 cores. I've tested this out by forcing a core offline and dropping my speed down to 600mhz on my Nexus. Just as smooth with both cores forced online @ 1.2. It's a shame they're using the same screen on the Nexus for the S3. Gonna have a lot of people crying about pentile and vertical banding and image retention/amoled fatigue. Plus if there are going to be 5 different Nexus devices by 5 different manufacturers.. There goes the Nexus name . @ OP Verizon will **** it up. You can count on it.

Pretty sure its a different screen. Still super amoled but with the subpixel layout altered to help with those problems.

No it's the same screen. Super Amoled HD not +. It uses the same RGBG subpixel layout. Albeit the smaller gaps it's pretty much the same tech. http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2012/05/11/galaxy-s3-screen-disappointment-samsung-explains-decision/

Of course HTC will never be able to have the kind of clout Samsung does since there's people like you who buy into the Apple-level marketing craze. The less support the smaller manufacturers get the more you'll see Apple and Samsung resemble att and verizon.
Also, I really don't think even samsung by themselves can get past verizon the way apple does when a phone by both google and samsung can't even do that. The official update for the gnex was held up for FIVE MONTHS. If you're basing your purchase off of that then I bid you the best of luck.
Anyways, I own phones from all the manufacturers, and I don't want only two phone titans fighting it out. We already see the results of having essentially only 2 carriers and it ain't pretty. If the GS3 comes out b4 the shared data things goes into effect I'll probably buy the GS3, sell it, and save the money to see what else is in the pipeline.

Of course, they wont mess it up. They will just pass on it like they did with the GSII.

Sour Grapes
I know this is an HTC phone owner's forum, but I think we have to give Samsung some props for being able to tell Verizon to **** off, either take the phone as we've designed it or don't take it and having Verizon cave, Verizon always controls the smartphones it releases with an iron fist and almost never releases phones with the same specs and layout as the other carriers.
The fact that they could do this, is a big win for any smartphone manufacturer, I'm sure a lot of us wish we had a HTC One X option, instead of them releasing the lame 4G incredible, I'm disappointed by the screen technology in the S3 but otherwise I think it looks like a great phone, it could be my next one, waiting to see what else is released before the end of the year.
As far as updates are concerned, sure Verizon will slow them down partly because their Verizon and partly because having a CDMA phone naturally slows down the process, Sprint's updates are slowed down for the same reason (maybe not to the degree of Verizon) and AT&T even though it's GSM and should be able to release updates quickly once available is just as slow as Verizon, I'm still waiting on an update for my S2 despite the fact that it's almost identical to the international version and I've been running a stable rom based on the international version for 3 months.
T-mobile is probably the best, the simple fact is that as long as carrier's control our phone updates, the updates will be slowed down by our carrier's, Verizon isn't special in that respect.
Also their's the manufacturer, everyone screams about the galaxy nexus update slowdowns on Verizon, which I'm sure are verizon's fault to some degree, but I also guarantee that google prioritizes the GSM version, because they don't need to get anyone's approval and then starts working on the verizon update, Sprint's ICS update for the nexus s was slow as well.
But I think the fact that all 4 major carrier's will have essentially the same phone will put some degree of pressure on Verizon to work to get the updates completed, and any pressure on Verizon to release updates is a good thing.
In my mind any Android manufacturer that pushes back against the carrier is a good thing for Android, HTC may not be able to do this at this moment, but if Samsung can do it and HTC keeps releasing phones that are worthy competitors to samsung phones like the One X, you may see HTC or other Android manufacturers successfully pushing back against the carrier's.
Did you guys see the drop test? I ain't getting near that phone.

Love my Rezound but am offically retiring it when this comes out. Fingers crossed for decent radios. Lol

Why can't HTC give the right time and effort to one model instead of burning out the current ones so fast?
why releasing the One X+ so fast, I think this is very bad policy
I think, that they are trying to follow SGS3. They made same with Sensation. First was Sensation, then Sensation XE. It is shame for top device.
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x-plus/
I know, it really isn't enough of an upgrade to warrant a new model.. I left HTC because of unnecessary new models when I had my sensation but I thought things would be difference with the One series. I think the yearly upgrade cycle that Samsung and Apple uses is the best for customers, otherwise the phones just lose value so quickly.

I left HTC too. I have SGS3 and I am more than happy. Always have had problems with HTC. BTW I was long time HTC user. Since Diamond times.
Meh, it's not LTE so I don't care...
I do see your point though - why bother with a flagship when you're going to outdate it in like 6 months...
I would of liked the 2100mAh battery though...

I don't dig the black and red. White is still the best, imo.
I am sure they will come out with an LTE version here in the States. The bigger battery is nice, and I am curious to see if the LTE signal issue has been fixed.
are the folks incredulous to this new to Android?
6 months is about right for a flagship to be old and busted on Android.

Actually it does have LTE. That is the main selling point of this version of the Tegra3, is that it finally gets its LTE radio. A variant of this passed through the FCC 2 weeks ago bound for AT&T.

Smartphones and tablets are now in the same phase PCs were in 10 years ago, where you buy the top of the line and it's outdated in two months. You can't expect your phone to be the best forever. I welcome this, it means there is fierce competition and we'll have more awesome devices to choose from. Not to mention the One XL is still a top end device and will be among the best for another year or so.
Guys. if 1.5 Ghz quad core tegra is slower than our 1.5 Ghz dual core, who's to say that it will have any noticeable bump to the 1.7 Ghz quad core. Especially now that we can overclock our S4's. Plus since we're dual core, it is easier for us to overclock to higher frequencies. The only real benefit I see of this version is the increased battery and the red button lights

Still doesn't stop you, or anyone else, from looking at the current threads. Search is a tool, not a be-all-end-all of what threads exist.
On topic:
The HOX+ shouldn't be affecting anyone here, unless you really want to be that bleeding edge. I hate to say it, but this HOX+ is to the HOX as the iPhone5 is to the iPhone4S. I don't care what reviewers and HTC say, this is an incremental update, not a groundbreaking innovation; that's what the HOX was.

Agreed. Love my One X, doesn't see anything in the One X+ that makes me regret my purchase.
There will always be something better in 6-8 months. Always.
