The range is headed by the
HTC one X,
a smartphone that borrows more than one design cue from the
Nokia Lumia 800. It’s built from a single, sleek chunk of polycarbonate (the same stuff used in ice hockey helmets according to one HTC spokesman). It has ‘micro-drilled’ speaker perforations and its 4.7in Gorilla Glass screen is even turned over at the edges like the Lumia’s.
The One X is a big device, there’s no escaping it. Still, at 134.36 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm and 130g it’s surprisingly lightweight considering the fact you get a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 display.HTC has used a Super LCD panel on the One X, and it’s an excellent screen. Bright and crisp, with great viewing angles and escaping the sometimes over-saturated colors you find on AMOLED screens, it floats nicely in the inset Gorilla Glass panel. Our main complaint is the banding visible on graduated graphics, noticeable in Android’s many screens with shades of grey.
HTC has made a huge commitment to camera quality in all of its One series handsets and the HTC One X's 8MP snapper held up to the hype, with a fast boot and quick-shooting photos that were more than acceptable given the lighting conditions. It was nice to see the video and camera shutter buttons side by side and the picture-in-video function worked without a hitch.
The One X is one of the first phones to employ a NVIDIA Tegra quadcore processor, and it is BRISK. Video playback is stutter-free, games are quick and glitchless. The
touchscreen’s responses are Teflon-smooth and immediate. In every department, the phone’s speed knocks you out.
Inside, this European One X packs NVIDIA’s 1.5GHz quadcore Tegra 3 chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of non-expandable storage. It’s an ambitious chip, especially given the non-accessible 1,800 mAh battery, though NVIDIA insists that its 4+1 core design means performance won’t outweigh longevity.Connectivity includes WiFi a/b/g/n,
Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX high-quality audio support, NFC and, in the European model, quadband HSPA/WCDMA .
