[Q] Thinking of Buying One X+ - HTC One X+

I have the money to buy HTC One X+ and waiting for its launch in India. I was also interested in seeing the launch of LG Nexus 4 but now it is coming up that the google nexus event has been cancelled.
Should I wait for Nexus 4 and decide to buy or buy One X+ as soon as possible ?

For me you should wait nexus 4.It will give you the best of android.No more sense UI or waiting for updates to come.The Specs are great too.The only thing that might be painful is the lack of microSD.Cheers

So LG Nexus 4 would be a better choice.
I would better wait for a youtube video which will have full comparison.

Just wait for HTC J butterfly if you can wait a bit long. Or atleast nexus 4.

HTC stated that they have no plans launch HTC J Butterfly in India. They just wants to bring HTC One X+ in India market as fast as possible.
I can wait till my birthday which is on 12 December.

You should definitely wait for the devices to come out before making a purchase. There've been rumors that Nexus will have not expandable 8gigs of ROM which is unacceptable no matter what specs it sports. Also the battery life is more or less mystery right now and from my experience the last Nexus lasted like 1.5 hours of screen time and current HOX is not really a marathon runner either...

Best advice is always wait for the release and see how it stands up in real world use. I'm leaning towards the 1X+ but I'm waiting.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2

Yea id wait until your birthday and compare them

Thanks all of you guys.

Maybe its my mental mind but can you post pic that you really have it.
Im finding it a bit hard to believe you received it on a sunday.
Afaik there isnt a delivery on sundays
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

I am not from UK, but like in my country i am convinced that you have shops open on weekends, for example in a big comercial space, mall etc.
As far as i know only O2 has it on stock.

Yes only o2 other carriers have no release date for the device, I love it coming from a HD2 the battery is great and evrything is smooth, the one x suffered from an anoying lag on menu press the + has nothing, overall use is butter smooth and the phone is great sense 4+ is great also only speed has been improved, and the cool red looks good

If the functions on your phone satisfy you enough, Don't get the new one.
If it doesn't, go ahead.

That really depends upon your needs.
As long as you realize that you are not served by waiting two weeks, unless that time is used to further your research.
Your wait time does not affect the fact that the phone would be obsolete the moment you purchase it.
If that is your concern, you will never do your upgrade. ;-)

I personally believe its out of stock because they had it free for the week before it was sold out and alot of people bought it.
I called T-Mobile since they lowered the price and I was still in buyers remorse, and they said that it is re ordered and more will become available. Just waiting for shipments to come in.
Amaze is phased out.youll still find one.
However...
After the sense 3.6/ics uodate,there wont be anymore updates for it.no sense 4.0 except from xda.
But,Tmobile wont do anything more than the next release of 3.6
Dont believe any rep you talk to if they say they will Continue the amaze.

I got a free amaze two weeks but was having issues with the phone, luckily i was in the 14 days buyers remorse period so they tried to send me another Brand new Amaze but was out of stock. And I really wanted another one so they offer me a free upgrade to the One S. After using the One S for a few hours, I have to admit the Amaze was better in every way IMHO. From the placement of the on/off button, volume control, virtual keyboard, etc...... the amaze physical features was so well place that the One S just lacks. On the One S, the on/off button was hard to press, and EVERYTIME you try to press the button, you would hit the volume button. The One S is also longer witch makes typing on the virtual keyboard hard to use. And not to mention all the bugs that needs to be worked out. Im having so much issues with this phone, they are sending me out a brand new One S next week. If someone works at a Tmobile store in Central/South Jersery that is will to trade a brand new Amaze for a Brand new One S, send me a PM.

Not to mention the lack of a memory card slot. The 100-image (and absurdly swift) burst mode is amazing, but not worth the trade off in my humble opinion.
And then there's the fact that it only has a VGA FFC. Amaze suits my needs a lot better despite the One S's two advantages (burst mode, and in benchmarking the one S its clear that the processor runs the One S twice as strong as the amaze, but the amaze still performs marvelously to begin with imho)

I gotta wait til Feb, but I'm buying the AT&T version off contract. THIS is the "One" I've been waiting for. Lol At least I'll still have my upgrade available to get the next HTC flagship, that will be announced at MWC 2013, when I get my upgrade in August.

Miss my HTC One.

Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.
Just sayin dont trust any reviews on the youtube they are all bull****

I also have both phones. If I had to choose I would pick the HTC one. The s4 is a nice phone but the ui isn't as smooth from my experience.
If the ui on the s4 was just as smooth as the HTC one it would be hard to choose. The s4 has a lot of customization.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.

Deciding what phone to get

I'm thinking about changing phones I'm on T-Mobile with my amaze no longer under contract. I was looking at what they have to offer and had 4 thoughts. I'm looking for input.
1. Get the iPhone 5 and sell it to make a profit and keep using my amaze
2. Get the HTC one the processor isn't much faster than the amaze and the camera isn't as good and it also lacks SD card slot
3 get the nexus 4 16gb looks pretty nice quad core processor and is aosp but still lacks an SD card slot
4 keep my amaze and wait till it craps out.
What do you guys think? And I checked out the HTC one forums and saw sports on there so I personally ask you sports how's the HTC one

Just went through this. New HTC one is very fast, don't let mhz ratings fool you. Go use the phones until the sales guy kicks you out.
I tried new htc one. Old htc one, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g cousin, s3 and note 2. All much faster than amaze. All great phones.
In the end because I didn't want to lock into contract, nexus 4 and LG Optimus g were hundreds less than the rest. Went with Optimus for LTE. Arrives this week.
Hoping when s4 is finally on display in my area I don't regret it. Based on reviews like trusted tech heads at arstecnica the new LG Optimus g pro phablet is the benchmark king. Out shortly if you like the size.

Before picking up any phone I would make sure to check out what bugs people are noticing in the forums. Things like how the amaze capacitor lights bleed etc.
No regrets on not waiting for s4. Tried one out for an hour yesterday. Great phone. Just not hundreds of dollars greater than others I looked at. Happy I went with unlocked lg.

I've been using a HTC One for the past couple days and it's really fast. The front speakers sound clear and pictures are all right. The phone has no grip though so you might want to pick up a case on Amazon. The profiting from an iPhone sounds like too much work for not enough money. The Amaze is still quick for most things so unless you hate it I think you should keep it.
Go with the HTC one. It's great and development is amazing! Battery is also awesome. I get 4hrs screen on time! Sense 5 is also very fast and minimalistic making it an aosp like Rom that just tons of extra features!
I upgraded from my amaze.
You can also use the HTC logo as a Menu button so you won't lose screen realestate from an on screen menu button.
