Desire X- New with S4 Play - HTC Desire X

Hi everyone,
I recently heard that HTC is coming up with DESIRE X in the UK and other markets. It had a 1 Ghz S4 play processor and plenty other feautres.
I would love to hear your views on this phone and how does this phone compare with Samsung Galaxy S Advance ( i9070) in preformance and modding point of view
Thank you guys in advance

hey , what is the difference between sensation XL and XE?
I personally was going to hang on and get the Asus Padfone. It seems to be well spec'd (according to the rumours) and is out in Feb.
Suits what I use my phone for and what I would use any tablet for.

I used one today
I didn't like the plastic build quality and it was very laggy.
The screen is superb though.
The XE is exactly the same as the regular Sensation except for a few cosmetic changes, beats audio and a 1.5GHz dual core CPU.
The XL has beats and a 4.7" screen but has only a 1.5GHz CPU.
I have noticed zero lag with my XL. It is brilliant

Galaxy S2, great performance,
i think the other choices are ugly.
I am still confused a lot between
HTC EVO 3d . Sensation XE and Nexus Samsung!!

Don't see the 1.2 to 1.5 ghz difference in sensation xe devices from the galaxy nexus
That small amount doesn't matter and my suggestion is Galaxy nexus as it will be supported by the latest software updates like the next android platform after ICS and the hardware is also good
Oh and the main point is u will only have 200mb ram in sensation xe coz of HTC sense eats 500 mb ram
and it will be atleast 3 times more RAM in Galaxy Nexus
And i feel Galaxy Nexus so stylish its unique no other phone is without buttons

GPU isn't as good on galaxy nexus though and is running at a higher resolution so it'll get taxed easier.
Its really a tough call, they all have their good points.
Plus you can easily root and flash custom roms so what they come with doesn't matter.

U are correct but its upon the user if he want to flash things
Not every user does that and i think the guy will not do that on his new phone
But if i had the option i would have taken Galaxy Nexus
BTW nexus can do everything that xe can do

What phone to buy

I am going to buy a Android phone on few months 2 months
So which phone should i buy ? Should j wait for galaxy s3
.
I have no price limits
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Yeah that may be a good choice, Or even the next HTC (the Ville?) It is quadcore and 720p HD screen.
What was your interest?that would determine which Android phone suite for you.
A minimum 4 inch screen
Dual core or more procceser
Full hd video recording

I was going to post a similar question..
My HTC Desire HD is sadly having hardware issues and I need to replace it.
I need a phone in the next couple days.
The HTC Ville was my choice, but I don't think I'll be able to wait for its release!
I'm looking for advice on Androids already on the market.
Min. Requirements:
- 4" Screen
- Dual core
- 1GB RAM
It has to be an international phone.
A qwerty (physical) keyboard would be an amazing add-on, but from my googling I don't think that is available with the above specs.
I would love to hear your thoughts.. Thanks
And for the OP.. If you could wait for the Ville, do it
Is ville better or s3

If you can’t wait then I would recommend Google Nexus Prime. If you willing to wait but not for long I would consider looking at “Galaxy SII skyrocket HD” rumors has it that it will be released sometime in March. Finally, if you can wait and you are not in a hurry then I would consider the next gen phones with quad core processors such as Galaxy SIII and HTC Ville as they are going to be some of the first phones that will come with ICS preinstalled

I just came back from the mobile shop, i played around with the nexus prime..
I really liked the screen on that thing! And ICS feels/looks great..
However, what i didn't like is:
- no sd card slot (
- 5 megapixel cam ( my DHD has an 8 and it's 2 years old)
- I've never liked the build of the Samsung smartphones.. Compared to the builds of HTC phones, Samsungs (including the nexus prime) feel like a toy in your hand; or am I the only one who feels that?
So I'm not sure whether I'm willing to sacrifice the above.
I will check the Galaxy SII skyrocket HD.. I'm not sure what to do.. I guess I'll keep on looking.. I don't wanna wish it!
Cheers

My opinion: Galaxy S2 will be a very good option, in fact, the best option before ICS generation.
Galaxy S2
HTC Sensation(XE/XL maybe?)
Sony Xperia S(upcoming)
Sony Xperia Ion(upcoming)
HI,
I recently bricked my phone trying to flash Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire S (apparently installing a rom on that phone is like running in a mine field).
It worked for an hour before totally crashing the phone.
CM7 was so amazing that I was wondering if there were any phones on which you could install it with close to 0 risks. I mean, it seems to be a piece of cake on the Nexus, but are the Samsung phones safe as well ?
Because after using CM7 I really can't stand HTC Sense anymore and I know that the HTC phones aren't the easiest one to root.
(I know that there are always some risks while installing a rom, I just want the phones with the lowest risks)
Sony Xperia S
My desire is wonderful.. but.. not NFC, bad camera, bad screen etc..
But I love it ...
one vote for SGS2.
Ville with quad? wut
Where do people read that Ville will recieve a quad-core processor?
Ville is supposed to be a DHD predesessor, with a dual-core clocked @ 1.5 GHz
whereas the HTC Edge is the one with quad-core (and this perhaps being a Tegra 3?), with 720p screen, Sense 4, NFC, 4G and international aswell.
I'm getting this as soon as available in Denmark!!

its upto you which one you like, I would personally prefer HTC one, but again there are several pros & cons of each, before buying a HTC just get one thing straight, this company has a bad reputation when it comes to software updates, HTC always stop providing support to their handsets before expected, for eg. HTC one s was recently ditched,many others back in history were treated just same way, ...
one more thing, I was in a mobile store the other day checking several devices, I found neither of S4 or One as attractive as they are presented over internet, there was only handset which caught my eye-HTC butterfly, real piece of beauty, & upcoming Butterfly S looks even more deadly, so I would suggest you to go to store yourself & check them personally rather than buying online...
Lol, this is the Desire X forum, who cares.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
your better off asking this and looking in the appropriate ONE or S4 forum
I would definitely go for the galaxy s4, if I needed to decide between those two. Personally, I would prefer a current flagship phone from Sony.

Its better than S4. Just look at the benchmark tests. (not the 8core version, anyway who need 8core, my laptop has 4)

S4 any day. HTC just sucks. Although the HTC One is very good looking and has a good build quality, I'd say the S4 if you plan on using the phone for more then 1 year.

HTC One has perfect quality, Samsung working with plastic so if u want quality u need to buy One or Butterfly S.

Is the desire x recommended?

Hi guys,
So I'm looking into buying an new smartphone and now I have to chose between the s3 mini and the desire x!
Coming from an HTC desire c running on 4.0.3 I have quiete some experience with sense and unlocking HTC devices
Now just asking: are you guys happy with your desire x? In Belgium it's just 199 euros
Sent from my TF300T using xda app-developers app
I was also in dillema between Desire X and S3 mini. I am now glad that i have chosen the HTC because for the same specs u pay more for s3. I think it is just for the name and more mainstream phone that u give more money, and the desire x has better design and quallity of materialls. The only negative side is the video resolution. So i vote for DX Friend got the s3 mini and i was not impressed with what u get for that amount of money, so overall the ratio of price and what u get is beter for desire x.
That is my opinion.
Sent from my precious!! HTC DX
Yeah the desire x is my choice I'm gonna see if I can get one tomorrow
Sent from my TF300T using xda app-developers app
Ok so here is my opinion on both phones.
HTC Desire X
Pros:
Great build quality
Great design
Sense
Beats audio
Super LCD 2 screen
Cons:
Not really a great support (HTC) the devs are giving their best
Samsung S3 mini :
Pros:
Front camera
1GB ram
720p video recording and output
16 GB internal storage
NFC support
Android 4.2 update
Cons:
TouchWiz
Not really a great build quality
It's Samsung
I don't like the Amoled screens
I'm used to the bad support from HTC on our HTC desire c we spent months on getting Wi-Fi to work on 4.1.2 ROMs because the file wasn't in the source once I asked HTC a question they said that they didn't support that lol
Sent from my TF300T using xda app-developers app
go for s3 mini.
why?
amoled screen.
front facing camera.
720p recording.
built in jellybean.
1gb ram.
faster than desire x. (tested both myself)
almost same price as DX.
better battery life than DX. (again, tested by myself)

I would say the same, I see that I made a mistake by buying a DX, but I don't have money for another phone now...

I would vote for S3 Mini too, because I really miss front camera on DX, S3 has better benchmark and performance (Vice City runs smooth on friend's S3 Mini). If I had second choice, I would take S3 Mini

go with s3 mini I thought that buying the Desire X will be a good thing but it wasn't and now I don't have the cash for a new phone, not until 2015 at least
Go for s3. Desire X isn't as good as the s3 mini
Cake...
Development is pretty stagnant for DX. I'm with all the above - S3 mini is a better choice.
In a shop that I'm' probably gonna buy it , it costs only 40 euros more!
The only thing I like about the x is the notification led which the s3 mini doesn't have

There are quite few apps which let you use small part of display as notification led even when display is locked and "off".
