HTC One X

Design
A look at the X, it is clear that HTC was lost some textbooks tried and true design. Instead of the aluminum unibody design of the phone company usually a sport that X carved from a single piece of polycarbonate plastic. Believe it or not, that's a good thing, because the plastic material is selected HTC feels high quality, not the cheap stuff I've seen on other phones. As a result, the chassis One of X has a nice premium Lumia similar to Nokia 900, another mobile unit, which decides by Lexans expensive than metal. A flat plate that smooth edges and a slightly curved back, the HTC X You definitely boasts a sophisticated aesthetic, especially the elegant white version I reviewed (HTC also makes a sober black color model) . To see the rounded shape of death draws an X on the white surface easily spotted. Measuring 5.3 inches high by 2.75 inches wide and 0.36 inches, the X One is certainly a handful. However, giving the country of 4.6 ounces, the phone of a certain strength plastic. Adorn the front of the unit is a large 4.7-inch (1,280 x 720 pixels) Super LCD. It is very bright, bright, in fact, that the HTC one S 'QHD AMOLED screen, and has angles are rather large. Of course, high contrast of the display of the "S" offers vivid colors and darker blacks, which I prefer. Above the screen is a 1.3 megapixel front camera for video chats and vanity shots. Below the screen are three buttons for home capacitive, and recent applications. On the right side of the phone are the volume controls and a micro-USB port is on the left. Above is a small power button, a slot for micro-SIM and a headphone jack 3.5 mm, while bringing back the 8-megapixel camera and LED flash. Two main drawbacks are the lack of a cell slot SD card for additional memory expansion, and its battery is not removable.

In addition to the advanced components of the phone is much of the HTC X a real force in its robust software. This not only your latest Google Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0 to run, but HTC has grafted his way carefully redesigned the user interface before.

In theory, it is automatically an equalizer profile headphones aimed at specific sounds to match the brand. As for my experience with HTC beats in the A, S, but I found that often inflate too low , killing the mids and highs. Certainly some titles pounding audio processing, especially those in which the bass is much take the central value. Fortunately, HTC also provides a set of equalizer settings and at the suggestion Techgrovv editor Justin Yu headphones, I tried the profile of sweetener, and found it offered the most balanced audio in all genres to be heard.




Performance
I know many of HTC fans are disappointed that the U.S. version X-One is a dual core CPU instead of the much touted quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 has. Well I'm here to wash the bitter taste of sour grapes. Equipped with a powerful dual-core 1.5 GHz processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of memory, this phone is buzzing seriously. He flies through the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense HTC overlapping with the dynamism and agility - like my experiences with the HTC an S (T-Mobile). Linpack tests (single-threaded) confirmed the HTC A processing skills X-: he scored a quick 103.5MFLOPS BBQ in just 0.81 minutes. In the same test scored one of the South, running an identical CPU, a 102.4MFLOPS almost identical. What the X One brings to the table that the S A foul is a very fast 4G data connection. Although I have seen the maximum download speeds of 12.45Mbps in the S A T-Mobile HSPA + network, which ended with an X 4G LTE link these results. The HTC X-One buried the download speed Ookla test needle tip is often more than 20 Mbps Download speed average was an impressive 16.63Mbps, and even upload the results measured in a high average of 7.53Mbps, which, once reached a high level of 15.83Mbps.
