[Q] Desire X, Desire S, One V: which one? - HTC Desire X

Given the three are sold at very similar prices, which one would you suggest and why? I loved my previous Desire S, and I think it would be a better choice, but I don't know the other ones...

theres really no comparison if the price is the same
the desire x has the best specs, although the one v is a more matured root community with several roms (sense, aosp, miui) available
the desire s and other msm7x30 phones were great in their prime, but are not worth purchasing at similar prices to newer ones

i am planning to buy HTC desire X.....should i buy Desire X??...i think i am not gonna regret when i buy this...

I would say desire X even though it hasnt matured in the rooting community I think it definitely would take over from all the other 2 once its released..btw the one s prices are slowing dropping...take a look at that too even though you might need to pay a little extra.

Internal memory - how much of the 4GB is left after system files?
Hi, been reading up on the new Desire X and I'm seriously considering it. I bought an Asus TF201 earlier in the year and while it's not been without its issues (!) I've found that I much prefer Android to iOS so my old iPhone 4 is up for sale and I'm in the market for an Android phone. Don't want anything as big as the One X/SGIII so the Desire X seems to fit the bill – at least until a 32GB One S comes out!
I think I can probably live with the 800x480 resolution and lack of front-facing camera but one thing that does concern me is internal memory. I know that the Desire X comes with 4GB, but what I want to know is how much of this 4GB is taken up with system files and how much is left for my own apps. Some reviews claim that the system files take up a whopping 2.9GB, however HTC support told me that they only take up 1.2GB - leaving a much more healthy 2.8GB for my own apps. Does anyone have a new stock Desire X that they could have a quick look at and answer my question. Many thanks in advance.

Desire S...just too old
One V...having a very low C/P,too s*ck
Desire X...I haven't come up with its flaws!!

I Have Desire X, before i had One X and Sensation.
I Must say that the Desire X is the best phone for me, not to overpowered and very good for the things i do.
Its not worth a buy, get it

Hi.. I was planning to buy One S (Internation version) (in singapore) until recently.. But, the Battery Peformance of Desire X makes me have second thoughts..
i know 2x Krait is NO match to S4 Play.. However.. Spec-wise Desire X sits right below One S in the HTC Line-up.. And, Everywhere (GSMArena, Pocket-lint, engadget, etc.) Desire X battery is Hailed with Impressive results (HTC Claims 20 hrs Talktime while One S is only 7 hrs)
The One S has mixed reviews for its battery Life.. Hence, am not able to Decide..
Battery life is very critical for Me since i travel long between work & home.. So, Please Help me here.. Shud i go with Desire X or does the One S battery hold its own.. (I can live with a S4 play over the Krait .. than a Drained out battery !!)

If you ask me...Camera can be better.Samsung Wave 723,Galaxy Ace and even Blackberry 5MPx cams are better.And the sound can be better, I dont think headphones from 50 or 100 euro can make it better.Like I said Samsung,Blackberry and Nokia old phones are better in sound quality...And i dont like the noise and the echo sometimes when I speak with someone ;( I really hope HTC One X series are better...

I'm not so sure about that cameras. Lets get over that sound, it sounds perfect, every Android phone has hissing sound after you turn the music off, if you had an Android phone you would know that.
And for the god's sake, everyone please stop sh***ing around about this phone, if you don't like it why did you buy it? Go there, sell it and by some Samsung crap that costs 400e and after 150 day of usage burns itself!!!!
Comparing One V with Desire X is like comparing PC 486 with Pentium 4 machine, just see the specs for both devices, try both of them and you'll see what you'll get. Don't compare One S and One X, those are devices that cost twice more than Desire X.

Desire X.
Well one V has only 1ghz single core processor with only 512mb so does one s I believe? Those specs are really outdated and not probably will not get official jelly bean upgrades but I'm do sure they have cm10.
Desire X has decent specs for a mid range phone. Dual core processor, 768mb ram, qualified for jelly bean requirements, camera are really good so does video quality, surprisingly it beats my previous phone 720p hd video camera in terms of quality, really good battery life even on stock rom/kernel, imagine if were on custom kernels and that stuff etc etc
So buy desire x, its the best mid range smartphones out there.

Oops I guess I'm wrong at one s specs
So one s does have dual core and 1gb ram but I heard the battery sucks. What's the point of having a fast phone but dies quickly.

Best low-spec (1GHz, 512MB max) device for a developer?

So I'm about to upgrade my Galaxy Tab 8.9 to a Nexus 7. It's very exciting because of Tegra 3, but at the same time this means I will be testing my games on a super high spec product, so I won't be able to tell if they run slowly on most phones. Instead of keeping my 8.9 I'm going to try and get a quite low spec Android phone/mp3 player so I can test my stuff on the Nexus and then on a very low spec device to compare. I thought I'd ask you guys who probably know a little more about Android than me for some recommendations. Here are the requirements:
- Must not cost more than £130 (happy to buy used). The cheaper the better. I'd like to stay below £100 if I can help it.
- Maximum spec is 1GHz CPU 512MB RAM. No more powerful than this please. The less powerful the better (within reason!)
- Screen resolution 480 x 800 or similar.
- I don't need to use it as a phone, so an MP3 player or tablet will be fine.
- Obviously it must have a GPU, for compatibility with OpenGL 2.0.
Any suggestions?
I think some eBay hunting will yield some used Galaxy S phones, any variant for $150 or less which should be €120 (I think?)

That's by Huawei? It costs quite a lot more than I wanted to pay...
Look on ebay and find something used or see if anything is for sale here. You should have no problem finding something.
Try the ZTE SCORE X500 on Amazon it's $60-70 dollar's.
Any apps or games I installed work fine no lag or problems.
And it runs 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Not sure about OPEN GL.
Only problem is the phone has no sim card and it has a proprietary micro-SD card. But it you root it you can fix that no problem.

HD2, Desire? Relatively weak and with lots of ROMs to test your software on.
desire series... desire, desire z, desire s... don't buy the desire hd though...
———————————————————
i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
The HTC Desire does seem to be the best one to go for. I had a Desire HD for testing a little while ago. Slightly too much RAM otherwise was good for testing. The ZTE one seems good but the resolution is much too slow. The original HTC Desire has the exact specs I need, I will have a look at the best price I can get that one for
There are 2 more ZTE phones on Amazon under $100 check those out. Don't remember their names.
The Samsung Vitality check that out.

Thanks Leon but Wildfire is too low res, and my Girlfriend's old Wildfire is still lying around somewhere (bloody awful phone IMO!)
Something like the Droid X or Milestone X, they sold a lot back in 2010 and now that is been 2 years there should be a lot of them for sale. It has 1Ghz single core, 512MB RAM, 854x480 display
I was thinking of keeping my HTC evo for ROM development purposes, but if my parents OK it I can sell my HTC Evo 4g for $100-$150 im thinking of. ive seen it go for $200 on amazon lately. its 1GHZ snapdragon, 512MB ram, and i believe its 800x480. it also has only a couple hundred MB of space also. im almost ready for an upgrade, so I can use the $$$ to save money to my custom build Linux PC later this year.

Overpriced?

After reading about the One X+ I was considering picking one up as I loved my One X, until I saw the price..
I noticed the retail price for the HTC One X+ seems to be around £480, how can HTC justify this price? You can pick up a brand new sim free One X for around £350 now, so what's so special about the One X+ to warrant the extra £130+ price difference?
From what I can see of you're paying extra for a 0.2Ghz CPU boost, slighly bigger battery and bit of extra storage. Same size, same screen, no SD card slot, no extra RAM, no removable battery.
I would have loved to get this device, but I can warrant the huge price jump for such minimal improvement.
One X was the same price when it launched.

Study the benchmarks and specs ! it's quite a difference.
Price will drop eventually to compete with S3 and others. This will be the best smartphone on the market when it launches. The new CPU inst only faster but more efficient... Which improves battery life considerably in this phone. It has double the storage so for the bestnpgone around I find it reasonably priced for launch.

Don't agree, it's possible the Nexus 4 will launch before or around the same time as the One X + (I heard 29th October?) And that will triumph over this.
As for the CPU in the One X+ I read it's supposed to be 60% faster than the original One X, is this true? How does this work considering it still uses the same Tegra 3? Or does it use a different variation that I'm not aware of?
The lack of 2gb of RAM concerned me the most though, after using the Note 2 for a while now I've gotten used to not having to force close load of background processes, I would have thought HTC would have crammed an extra GB in there.

As for the Nexus 4... It looks its not intended to compete with the powerhouses... Being based in the optimus G I dont expect the camera to be any great... Also its not quad core and overall its a lower speced cellphone.
The note 2 is great yes but uts a phablet... The Droid Dna is intended to compete on that level (and thriumph with that LCD 3 1080p screen) not the X+.

Low spec? The Nexus 4 has a Quad core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2gb RAM and a 768 x 1280 display which is rumoured to be Super LCD 2.
Technically speaking, it out performs all other phones out right now and will be the most powerful phone when its released.
The HTC one X+ is not overpriced it costs as much as any flagship phone excluding iPhone 5 which costs £530. Yes their are some flagships phones which are cheaper like the LG nexus 4 which is rumoured by carphone warehouse to cost £380. Even if the update was minor a flagship phone should still cost the same as the previous flagship.
I wouldn't recommend you to buy any flagship phone when they are released because they are all overpriced, I've always felt that £350 was enough but it obviously isn't for a flagship. I would recommend you wait till the price drops on 2nd hand phones like the HTC one X which you can buy in new condition for £300 on eBay. But if you want to buy it from a retailer then you will waste a lot of money.
I can remember checking the price of the HTC one X few months ago it was being sold for £350 new on eBay, now it's much cheaper. I might buy the HTC one X+ when it costs the same on eBay as the one X. The HTC sensation xe sells in eBay with beats headphones which tu whet with for £280 with that you can buy the one X so you are upgrading from a previous flagship to another for free. But bearing in mind you will have to buy it after 6 months by then another flagship will release so you'll be updating your HTC every six months for free or you may have to spend an extra £75 on top. But for a that price you will be getting a lot of new features.
I might buy the HTC one X+ when its cheap but I'm not a fan of the camera bump, polycarbonate, and the loudspeaker and screen size 4.3 is perfect not to wide not to long.

2GB of RAM sounds really good, but other than that how exactly does it outperform the One X+?
Early reviews of it report rather low Benchmark ratings. It doesn't even get close to the original One X. I know this is subject to change at launch, but it would need to almost double their scores to rival the One X+ in Quadrant for example.
I also don't have high hopes with the camera considering how average the LG Optimus G performs.
I don't know where did you get the rumor of an LCD 2 screen but right now, HTC makes the best screens on the market. Currently this crown is held by the HTC J Butterfly (Japan) whose International similar should be the Droid X or Droid DNA.
The internal storage of the X+ is 64GB. The leaked prototype of the Nexus 4 is 8GB (Wtf Google... seriously...) and they don't have an SD slot either. It will be lucky if the final build has 16GB... let alone 32.
And I could go on about design, sound...
All in all, I'm not saying the Nexus 4 will be a bad phone. Heck it will probably be one of the best in the $400 dollar neighbourhood, but don't expect it to rival the One X+ and Optimus G in terms of performance and overall.
I expect the One X+ to be the best phone of 2012 unless Google has something under the hood we don't know about, and the Droid X (if it makes it for 2012) the best 5 inch+ smartphone (or phablet?) of the year. (Leaked specs talk about 2GB of Ram, Quad Core snapdragon, and of course an absolutely killer LCD 3 1080p 440ppi 5 inch screen) Technically speaking, is as big as a jump as the retina display was when the new iPad launched.

The your right that's what I'm arguing about to HTC one X with jelly bean beats the sg3 check gsm arena and the only think about the gs3 thats batter is the battery which the HTC one X+ will solve. The only reason why I don't want to buy one X+ is because of the 40nm and lack of 4g in the UK and the camera should be flat instead of a bump.
Now the thing I don't like about the one x+ is the camera bump it is the same just a red ring, instead they should have made it flat that is what you call a model improvement they fixed the internal problems but didn't bother with the external which is a shame. I want to see the one X+ succesor with a flat camera, tegra 4 (quad a15 28nm 24gpu) and a really loud and clear loud speaker. I don't think we will see that without the screen increasing which is a shame.
All I want is that hardware to improve but why do they have to increase the screen size every year small and powerful beats the lot 4.3 is perfect. Next year all flagships will have 5". I will probably have to jump ship to wp8.

I think it is overpriced. Not to compare it to the nexus 4, but its a one x refresh, the price shouldnt be that high.

Need some talking into One X+

I know this isn't going to be the most unbiased place for honest opinions but I'm up for a dealer line on AT&T and I can choose from a couple different devices. I can get the S3, Optimus G, and One X+. I've always loved HTC phones and ESPECIALLY love the way the HOX feels in hand. I went into AT&T and tried playing around with the Optimus G but was turned off by how wide it felt in my hand. It's not Note wide but still wider than I'd like a phone to feel in my hand. I thought I was gonna fall in love with the screen but the One X is still a little better. The ONLY thing (and the reason I'm here) holding me back is the RAM. I'm not going to be tweaking the hell outta my phone, but I plan on unlocking it and putting a few custom ROM's on there. I just wanna know how limiting the 1GB of RAM is going to be for me? More is obviously better, but from an end result how important is it? Thanks guys. And one last question, how far along is development for ROM's? Is it comparable to something like the S3? Or better?
It's not 1 gig of ram it's 1.7 quad-core and very fast and smooth I can't speak on the other phones mentioned but I'm pleased with it.

Paradoxically I suggest Samsung.
2 is more than 1.
The HTC is as fast as laptop and sound is amazing if you play high res flacs.
Gotta love these useless threads. Oh please tell me what to get, I can't read phone specs on my own, I can't have a mind of my own, I need someone to tell me. Oh geez. Just go to ATT and play with em all. Walk out with what feels right.
I'm not one to "tell you" what to get, but I've had all 3 (S3, Optimus G, and finally, the HTC One X+) and I can easily say, the HTC is the best physical designed phone, while the Optimus G is way to wide for my liking. I also didn't like the S3 because of its plasticy build and that it only had a dual-core and wasn't new hardware. I'm really digging the HTC and am gonna keep that.
P.S. From what I've read on other forums, the HTC's 1GB of RAM is faster than the 2GB of RAM, but I still would have preferred the Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2GB RAM over the Tegra 3 and 1GB RAM.
Hope this helped!
I think its simpler.
Don't forget that Samsung produce memory for different devices. For them fit 1Gb or 2Gb its not cost effecting final product but as we can see it works as marketing.
And even that little thing stops buying HTC.
Phone its very fast and can close all apps as to start it again is almost the same time.
I agree with you on the optimus, had the s3 and I just didnt like the samsung home button and ran kinda of hot for me. I ended up going with the "2 gb ram" note 2, hello a bigger s3 and returned that as well and now have an htc one x+ and so far pretty pleased. It kinda reminds me of my favorite smaller android devices that I got early on which was the htc aria. Just feels right in the hands so far and very powerful. I'd definitely go with the one x+ from the ones you mention.
Phones only need 1GB of ram. My note had 2GB of ram but i see no performance advantages to having it.

This is pretty much what I was asking about. I wanted to know if HOX's 1GB really puts it at a disadvantage vs other 2GB RAM devices. Especially in the next year or so.
FYI:
On Android OS free RAM is dead RAM as discussed here
I never had ANY problems with running out of RAM on my One X nor my One X+
If a capped RAM of 1GB would be a problem for totally now mobile devices, these forums would be flöooded...go figure!

The two Meg of memory have a rather noticeable impact making multitasking much more powerful letting more apps run in parallel and reducing lags due to gc.
However, the one x+ apparently does some trickery to keep a good amount of memory free (even though the official Android parameters are still set lower).
In short, 2GB are a plus, but the one x+ never lets you feel the 1GB "limit". All runs smooth as butter...

Painful legacy left Windows more and more memory.
You didn't write what phones you had before but I think One X is one of the best and like everyone here I am pleased.
You don't need that 2Gb. Its plays with big files faster than my brand new laptop. And don't crash like Windows.
You will be happy.
If you go to shop you can find that those guys use stereotypes or therms what they read or heard.
Also they are on commission what sell. So can direct you somewhere else.

I've had an Evo before, a Galaxy S2, Lumia 900, couple Blackberries, etc. Pretty much a bunch of midrange devices through different OS'es. This is my first jump into flagship territory and just about the only two things holding me back from the One X+ are the 1GB of RAM and the mixed reviews on the Tegra 3 vs say a Snapdragon S4 or other dual core chips. I sell phones myself and that's why I cam get an OG, HOX+, or S3 right now. I wanted to just wait for the N4, but tbh I wasn't completely blown away by it. I initially looked at the G until I held that and the HOX+ in hand and I really liked the way it felt. So I may just go in and change that order.
Thanks for all the advice guys.
I came from a long line of HTC phones. I decided to give the s3 a shot. I used it for about two weeks and I flashed some custom roms. All the software and performance were great. However my main reason to exchanging it for the X+ was the s3 build quality. At the end of the day your phone is a phone. How does it feel in your hand? Can you use it with one hand? I could not get over the plasticy feel and loose bottoms. Side note on the loose buttons: I had the sales rep show me 3 brand new s3s they all had loose or some what loose buttons. I have to say the build quality and performance are fantastic on the X+. Exactly what I was looking for.

Till now, 1gb of ram is enough on HOX+ as it's fast & smooth. I suffered with huge amount of installed apps on my Galaxy Nexus in term of ram (1gb). But I never noticed that with same apps on HOX+.
As the new Nexus is coming with 2gb ram, I think 2gb of ram will be needed soon.

Looks like Nexus soon will get more operational memory than for apps and music.
Is internal memory slow? How many heads has a disk in HTC. 64Gb could be one. LOL

[Q] One X or One X+

I am looking to purchase a brand new (off contract) HTC One X or One X+ off ebay for AT&T. I want one of them for rooting and messing around with custom roms etc..., I am new to rooting but it looks pretty straight forward with the tool kit listed on this site. The One X+ is about $200 more than the original One X, do you think the newer One X+ is worth the extra $200?
Yes for battery and storage alone

The speed and smoothness too.

Not to mention it's free from most design issues that plagued the HOX like the Wi-Fi issue.
I'd say it's worth it. With the HOX you have to choose between quad core or LTE. The updated Tegra 3 in the HOX+ lets you have both and a higher clock speed.

honestly, i would stay clear of the One X+ because of the following reasons:
Terrible performance, specially on 3D games
phone gets hot. really hot when you are playing games
terrible battery life
camera is aweful
the camera gets scratched very easily
very hard to repair if damaged
i bought one, had it for 4 months and just sold it, believe me, it's terrible, i wish someone told me this. when i asked everyone said good things about it...
also if custom roms and mods are your thing, i tell you now that HTC has made it very hard for devs. i used numerous builds of AOKP and CM10.1 etc and they all worked ok but camera performance was terrible, even worse than stock app and lots of niggels with the audio driver

The only negative thing I have to say about this device so far is that the display scratches pretty easy. I haven't dropped my device or put it face down and the bottom area where the capacitive keys are is filled with hairline scratches. Gaming on my phone is pretty good. I guess it depends if the game is Tegra optimized or not.

I recommend clearly the One x +!
Ok. This is my first post to this forum and I wanted to participate in the Talkshow.
I've bought the first one x and found the device very well. Since I was a small smartphone freak but I have a One x sold and bought me one x + and must say WOW!
Not only that it has the larger memory of 64 GB, it is also significantly faster than the one x.
It is fast even with the original software, but since I have the new Viper Rome the device runs like a speed demon.
So I suggest clearly the One x +!

That's project butter for you, I highly doubt any smoothness is a result from an extra .2GHz in clock speed, which is really the only performance difference between the two. The devices are equally capable of running android, the hox+ is just a little bit better at high-end stuff.

The 200mhz is not irrelevant. It's also not the cause of the speed increase. That comes from the newer generation of Tegra 3 soc's. Just like a 3rd gen I7 is slightly faster than a 2nd gen one with the same clockspeed.

I bet your your display is not even scratched. HTC put a Oleophobic coating on the screen. This coating is quite easy to scratch. It's also just as easy to replace

All the models you've listed has almost the same caratteristics in processor, RAM, internal memory and camera.
The only thing I can say is that the HTC has a little less performant frontal camera compared with the other 2 (1.3 MP instead of 2 MP) and also xperia has a more advanced bluetooth and a battery a bit more powerul (2300 mAh).
I don't know much more about these models, I hope I helped a little :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your opinion i will go for the xperia
