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!!

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 !!)

Take Desire X. I'm very happy owner of that smartphone. A single day very intensive work on it and still works.
How is the quality of the camera?
camera quality is good but the autofocus can be a pain in arse.

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.

Morning all,
I was wondering if anybody can help.
I'm looking to purchase a HTC Desire X or maybe even a One X. More likely the Desire as that is more within my budget. I've read good reviews about both phones, android capability is what I'm looking for and they look good. The only thing which is putting me off the Desire is the 4 GB of memory. I understand you can store extra data on an external card which the phone has a slot provided. However, I was wondering whether this is a hindrance at all. For example, moving stuff to memory card, is it easy etc
Phone use will be mainly for Camera, some internet browsing, e-mail, GPS & hopefully google nav if I can get/or download onto the phone.
Many thanks in advance.

For your use ..desire x is good..moving data is easy n you will have good full sense Rom with file manager n more access by ckpv5 and others...you will get good battery too..but I would really suggest you to get a s3...as gaming and screen quality is what attracts more after getting an android...I got an s3..+ it has lot more memory and functions you may like...+ GPS is better and also 3g n WiFi speeds..as I tested by myself..so you can start saving money ..
Hi Hulk.

Pedro. HTC Desire X is a nice performer for its price tag. But it has, in my opinion, 2 main disadvantages: bad quality pictures (compared to competition) and lack of front camera (for video chat or auto-portrait pics).
In the same price range and size, a SGSIII mini is a good choice nowadays (under 300 euros).
HTC One X and SGSIII are bigger and more powerfull phones with great specs (over 400 euros).

Hi Pedro,
I went with the Desire X for budget reasons as it was on offer during the New Year's sales and I like HTC's designs. I thought I'd get a fairly basic phone with many limitations. I couldn't have been more wrong. The phone is very good considering the price. Sure it doesn't have a powerful processor or super duper specs, but I found it to be surprisingly adept at handling anything I throw at it. It might not be able to play some of the higher end games (there's a thread in the forums detailing people's success with those), but it's more than adequate for all-purpose smartphone use including the sort of things you mention.
ROM development for the phone is still in its infancy, but there are already some great ROMs to choose from. And moving things to the SD card is trivial. You can also get a utility app like App2SD to inform you whenever you install an app to move it to the SD. Android's 'Move to Storage' feature makes it super easy.

Sorry. But my older Samsung Galaxy S (released in 2010) take better pictures, specially video recording.
I don´t know about Xperia Sola, U, etc... but I was expecting much better pictures than a 3 year old smartphone (SGS).
However, I´m still happy with the Desire X cause is fast, nice looking and very handy with a 4 inch screen.
HTC desire x has da best 5mp camera so far...I have shot most insane piks...burst mode..is damn awesome...one thing everybody forgets to mention is da sound quality....the beats audio which u won't even get in Samsung s3...sound matches..well it outruns actually to dat of apple...desire x won't let u down u can definitely go for it

I sometimes hate this type of question no offense.
I assumed you have the budget? So if you have the budget to buy one x, then duhhhhh go for it. its obviously has better specs. There's no point to check on a midrange smartphones like desire x over high end devices if you have $$$. When in the end you will say "I'm regret buying this midrange device I should have gone for one x ohemg I'm stupid blablabla."
Add: to answer your questions, trust me 4gb of internal memory are more than enough to store apps and games (1gb to be precise for free use). I have 40 games and over 20 daily apps and I still got 340.18mb of internal storage and I haven't move a single of apps and games yet to my sdcard not even once.
If you're that worried you gonna run out of space which I doubt on desire x. Check out link2sd. Seriously guys check it out. It's somewhere here on xda and google play.
Oh btw, as much as I love HTC now I suggest you go for the S3 instead of one x. One x has A LOT of battery complains than S3.

I'm very happy with my Desire X, especially with a custom ROM installed. Plenty of memory left, no problems for me at all. Also the size and thickness of the phone is imo perfect.
I don't use a front camera, so I won't miss one.
For me it's well worth the money.
Hello everybody.
Didn't realise a full scale debate would erupt after my initial post! However, I am on a technology forum :laugh:
To answer a few questions, I am on a budget and the S3 did look good coupled with the reviews but I've purchased a Desire X today for £153 inc P & P which I think is a steal. I'll be in touch with my findings once I receive the phone.
I appreciate everyone's comments and views especially vogonpoetlaureate. I won't be using the phone for games. (I just don't play them at all). So in theory, I shouldn't have any issues.
Would I be able to use google nav as sat nav in my car? (Should I be able to download of course.) Apologies if someone has already answered that If I can, is there an accessory to mount it?

I believe you can use google nav in your car. There are a lot of accesories to mount your device, but most of them are universal.
I don't know if there's an official mount yet, but the others will work fine.

For that price, HTC Desire X is the best smartphone you can buy!
Another minor flaw it has... no compass. If you are using a nav app, when you stand still, it may get a little bit lost cause it does not know in which direction you are heading, until you start moving.
So, in my opinion, the 3 cons it has: lack for front camera, lack of compass, bad speakerphone (BTW, I don´t like Beats Audio) are really minor for a great looking, nice screen, fast and handy smartphone. That´s why I bought it.

It gets hot, that's true (and kinda strange.... )
The camera isn't that bad (and absolutely enough for the use you're gonna do of it, e.g. posting photos on FB)
If you are looking for similar sized phones you can consider the GSIII Mini, considering the fact that it hasn't got Sense customization, and for a HTC user it can be kinda disappointing (I used to have a Wildfire S, when I bought a Xperia go I was so disappointed of sony customized UI that I replaced it with the Desire X)
Just a thing... please improve your english..

I'd recommend it if you can get it for £180.
However if you're willing to go for a few quid extra I'd go for the GSIII Mini or a little bit more than that you could get a Nexus 4...
As Matyt said, the device gets hot and it gets pretty annoying and unpleasant.
We have received updates for this device, and most users now have a Jelly Bean update.
Moreover our device gets the Linux 3.4 kernel with Jelly Bean meaning we'll be able to run the next few releases of Android on our phone whether it's officially or unofficially.
We have lots of progress on the AOSP ROMs front as well, with CM9 almost fully working and CM10.1 in the works.
In terms of developer support, you can't go wrong with the DX
Thanks for your advice im geting more tempted to get the desire x now do you think there is a way to fix the overheating and do yuou think this could shorten its life?
once i again....
if you dont have too much money and want a nice - cool , fast phone...not in a shoe size...you better buy it!!!!
it gets hot but not in critical points....
for the money you will pay you will get a very good phone
and lately a lot of developers are working on our phone...so we will get jb roms aosp and others..which will make our phone twice faster
from what you ask...this phone suits you!! A LOTTT

thanks for all your help nice to see a bunch of friendy guys who know what there talking about who can give real advice
mine doesnt over heat until i play an intense 3d game. and that happens to all the midrange phones i know of. Its only major compromise is on:
- no front camera
- no digital compass
- no 720p video recording (although playback is possible)
But dont forget the positive things:
- fast processor
- Good camera lens and low light snapshots
- HTC Sense (although lite version)
- Ram is higher
- Screen colour reproduciton is v good. (although not very bright)
- HTC Sense
- JellyBean (Upcoming in some regions - Damn you HTC)
- Light and beautiful design.
I agree with neXus PRIME. I havent had the issue of the phone overheating.
The phone is absolutely amazing in my honest opinion. Except for the front camera and htc full sense. Although i would advice you to check this link regarding the white noise (hiss sound) on some of our Desire X.
But that has never annoyed me at all as i barely noticed it. And after some search on Google, the white noise seems to be a problem or some kind of sacrifice introduced on almost all mobile devices to compensate and even out other weird sounds. I think there is a video regarding this which is on one of the pages on that link thread.
There is nothing else to disregard Desire X as an awesome and handy and comfortable device for those of us keen on getting a quality phone within a budget.
And once again if you want to compensate for all the con points neXus PRIME has first mentioned in the above thread, then by all means buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.
I have come from a Wildfire to the Desire x.
The perfect move.
The DX camera is 10x netter than the Wildfire
I am glad i Made the move.

It important that you are 100% happy with your purchase...my advice go with your heart.
the Desire X is a nice phone has everything that you need and will receive updates for at least 4.X(not sure about official but surely unofficially).
about the heating that can usually happen due to prolonged usage at high frequency of the processor(our default governor is performance hence the reason slow down scaling and rapid fire upscaling).
this can be fixed by moving to interactive governor(better ratio of scaling) or/and changing the scaling governor to conservative.
though this problem might persist if you play games/use apps that have a high processor demand(usually very graphic intensive).
there so my suggestion is to look for a device that has the following points.
1.confirmed jb update(this gives it a better chance of getting 4.x future updates).
2.Strong developer comunity.
3.possible working method for rooting.
4.custom recoveries.
5.good specs vs price ratio.
for me the Desire X ticks all these boxes.
but in the end the choice is yours.
Good Luck,
Dark Passenger
The phone is far better with the JB update, from my own anecdotal experience. I was unhappy with it on ICS. I'm still not impressed with Sense Lite that we were burdend with, and had I known about it at the time I would have opted for another device.
There are many positives about the phone, it is very cheap and it works OK for the price. If I had more money I would go for a Nexus 4 though.
The other reviews above are good, but I'd add in the actual handset is not very comfortable in your hands, especially for extended periods, and the screen feels less responsive than the one on the old Desire (Bravo). It is very plasticy and the back cover feels very cheapo and fragile.
It's a grand Android phone, it costs next to nothing (comparatively) but the performance is fairly low end and there's an air of cheapness to the whole thing. My Nexus 4, GS3 and other devices feel far superior (though to be fair they are). My One X JB update slowed down some fairly basic functionality for me and I really didn't like it after it updated. I've a concern that HTC are rushing software or it is too fragmented for them to release solid ROMs for their devices.
I use the DX as my day to day out and about phone and it works fine for the most part. There's nothign major wrong with it, just a lot of little niggles here and there. Some of which were fixed with JB update!
If you want a very cheap phone for basic surfing, facebook etc and won't be installing any particularly big games you'll be fine with this device.
I went to get the desire X on sataday and was told by the shop that they do not keep them in stock as they are such a bad phone that they nobody wanted them but from what you guys said it sounds like hes talking out of his ass

i never do i sent a nice email to there head office saying how there staff ignored evreyone in the shop untill they all waked out then when i came back an hr later the palce was empty and then was told its a rubish phone but you guys on here seem to be loving the thing so im just looking for somewhere elce to buy it from but there isnt any other place i can find that sells it so i may have to bite the bullet and buy it from them
Personally, i hate the phone. I regret buying it everyday. Hell, even my old Galaxy S was a lot better then this piece of crap. Don't recommend buying it.
I find it Amazing that some people take so much effort and time to come onto a forum and talk rubbish.
You can go onto virtually any forum, IPHONE, Galaxy 3 and 4 forums, you will always get people there with problems, mostly user related.
You also get the chops who also go onto the various forums and say this phone is the biggest rubbish just for the kick of it.
To the one who bought this product, surely you dont compare it to Top of the range Galaxy, Sony or Iphone.
Compare apples with apples.
The Desire X fits into its own market, It delivers just what is expected of it . Accept that or buy another phone that will suit your needs.

I find it Amazing that some people take so much effort and time to come onto a forum and talk rubbish.
You can go onto virtually any forum, IPHONE, Galaxy 3 and 4 forums, you will always get people there with problems, mostly user related.
You also get the chops who also go onto the various forums and say this phone is the biggest rubbish just for the kick of it.

'Delivers what is expected of it' Yeah because when we spend $300 on a phone we all expect a software update that will break one of the phone's main selling points.

This is not, hate desire x forum. I like dislike a lot of things. But this phone ISN'T crap. I've tested many equally costing devices from others and they can be called crap. Let us all stay on topic. Our frustration with jelly bean update n bugs shouldn't make us so narrow minded so as to neglect all the good things about it.
Peace.

Hi guys,
I'm about to buy this phone for my gf. She likes my One S (the big bro of the Desire X) and wants a mid-range phone, so I've decided to go for the Desire X.
In particular I'd like to ask you if the Desire X comes with the oleophobic, anti-fingerprint screen as the One S. I've found this info nowhere.
Thanks!

Nope,it's a normal s-lcd screen.
I see, thanks... Is it very sensitive to fingerprints?

Well yeah,but you can clean them easy. I use my t-shirt and just wipe them out. There is also an option to buy a anti-fingerprint screen cover.
But i would go with the One S. Screen is better,internal memory is better,camera is better,ram is better,cpu and gpu also. But the price is bigger.
Here is the full spec and you can compare it to DX. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s-4574.php
Yes, I already own a One S!
The Desire X would be for my gf, whose budget is no more than 200€. She likes the Sense UI and HTC design, so I think the Desire X is the best (and only) bet. I was just wondering about the anti-fingerprint treatment because it's a really nice thing, especially for a woman.
Thanks a lot anyway!
I got a desire X off the advice off the guys here and i love it its a grate phone does everything i want it to do only had one problem with it the screen got the common fault with the dead pixels but htc took my phone fitted a complete new screen and front face of the phone and returned it in a week no questions asked so i would defiantly go for one also my mate has the desire c and when playing videos in a public place you cant hear the audio the desire x you can hear it clearly seems very loud
Thanks guys!

Yup,the def. go with the DX. Then the screen cover is your only option if you don't want any fingerprints. It's not really expensive.
The phone is really great.
Hi all!
I was just wondering why a so good phone from the point of quality/price ratio like the Desire X is not so common as I would expect.
It's really unexplainable, especially if I see how many Galaxe Aces there are out there...
There are a lot of DXs, but few people that have them are on xda, i think. I've got the feeling that most devs aim for high ranged smartphones, so they go and buy ones, s4s, nexus...maybe im wrong, but i saw many DXs on street
Sent from my precious!! HTC DX
I don't seee many DX on street, as of now I didn't see anyone with it besides me. I just think the phone isn't that popular because not many people know about it. There's not that much advertising for it...
HTC release the SAME phone with DIFFERENT design.
Desire P, Desire L, Desire X,Y,Z and whatnot.................. Most of them are similar specced but 1-2% different. and each is released as a small quantity batch.
HTC is not taking any risk, and that is bringing them down in terms of phone sales. That's just my thinking.
because htc desire x is a mid end budget smartphone and htc are not that mainstream compared to samsung or apple

They have stopped the production of single SIM desire x. Now only dual SIM versions are available

HTC is constantly Having newer & bigger Flagship devices every few months, so when a phone series based around the Original HTC flagship device (The Desire) came out people got a bit excited (i know i did) but upon seeing the Specs of the new desire Range it was just dismissed by many for a newer Modern flagship.
The Desire range seems to be going strong though and I dare say If a "HTC Desire ONE" (you heard it here first ) came out then The desire series would get a mega boost in popularity and so would our beloved DesireX (who knows whats in the HTC pipeline though)
but yeah not so long ago there was a bit of an influx of DX users but they seemed to disappear ...... Hahaha theyre all waiting for Cyanogenmod before they make their Grand appearance
I never seen anyone with a desire x and carphone warehouse said don't buy it its a crap phone nobody wants them so I got one off the advice in here and I love it does evreything I want it to do and more only thing I don't like is no compus

I think that i am the only one in my city :laugh:, I have`t seen anybody else with DX. I think because there are so many Desire "?" phones.
