Για το NFC δεν ξέρω, έτσι κι αλλιώς δεν μας απασχολεί εδώ στην Ελλάδα...

Για τα ibeats υπερεκτιμημένα... κάποιο λάτρη της μουσικής έτσι κι αλλιώς δεν θα τον καλύψουν, καλύτερα να πάρει Sennheiser.

The Verge:

can't lodge a single complaint about the One X's performance, though — this phone screams, and it has the benchmark scores to back it up. I used the phone as my primary device for a full week and can't recall a single incidence of lag or stutter anywhere in the user interface. That's saying something, because Android phones that initially appear to be fast have a tendency to "bog down" over time and during certain operations like app updates and account syncs, but not the One X — it was smooth sailing at all times. Looking at the raw data from the benchmarks we've run, it seems to do a little better than the Snapdragon S4-powered One S in gaming (no surprise, considering Nvidia's graphics roots) and a little worse in browser performance. In typical use, though, you're simply going to notice that this phone is fast regardless of what you're doing.

Initially, I thought that battery life was going to be a major concern for this phone. After all, the notion of four Cortex-A9 cores spinning at up to 1.5GHz paired to a dazzling, bright 4.7-inch display doesn't exactly instill confidence that you're going to make it through a day on a single charge. In fact, I didn't at first — I was getting 6-7 hours with almost no use whatsoever. Fortunately, HTC pushed a software update during our review process that more or less quashed the issue. In my stress test with continuous streaming video at maximum loudspeaker volume and maximum screen brightness while connected to both Wi-Fi and 3G, I got four hours and 22 minutes of usage before the phone turned itself off. In a more reasonable test involving "normal" usage, the One X yielded 13 hours and 38 minutes, including a half hour of continuous Riptide gameplay (which looks amazing on this processor and display, by the way) and well over a dozen benchmark runs of various types.

 

That said, the One X can get very warm if you're pushing the Tegra 3 silicon to its hairy edge. It's never so hot that it's uncomfortable, but it can get quite noticeable right below the camera on the back and in the same area of the display. I'm used to newer mobile devices developing hotspots on the case when you're gaming, but the notion of the display getting noticeably warm as I tapped and swiped is new to me. Devices that stay perfectly cool are a casualty of the processor war, it seems — moving to smaller transistors helps significantly, but it's always counterbalanced by higher performance.

HTC HAS DONE SOMETHING PRETTY SPECIAL WITH THE ONE LINE

On a couple occasions during my week-odd endeavor to make the One X my primary phone, I installed and used Apex Launcher, an excellent home screen replacement that starts with stock Android 4.0 as a foundation and adds a handful of useful features. It doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel, it doesn’t fight Android’s natural grain — it just takes a great product and makes it a little bit better.

 

And it got me to thinking: why isn’t this exactly what Sense is trying to do? HTC should be building its software story around unique functionality. To a large degree, it is — take the excellent ImageSense, for instance — but in the process, it’s also tossing in an entire layer of questionable design. Not bad design, necessarily, but it’s still design without purpose, design that needlessly overwrites Google’s really cohesive (and superb) Android 4.0 user experience. I understand HTC’s inherent need to “make its mark,” but with the One X, it’s already doing that by creating perhaps the best phone hardware I’ve ever used.

 

So yes, I think Sense can do better, but there’s still a lot to be optimistic about. Looking back on Sense 3.0 and 3.5, Sense 4.0 is a big step in the right direction, and HTC’s new commitment to bootloader unlocking through the HTCdev program means that intrepid owners who feel as strongly about the user experience as I do should expect to see replacement ROMs from the community in short order. And even without any modification whatsoever, the One X isn’t just one of the best Android phones I’ve ever used — it’s one of the best mobile devices I’ve ever used, period. Seriously, HTC has done something pretty special with the One line, and I’m encouraged that Peter Chou and company appear to be back on the right track.

 

Just give me a One X running something closer to stock Android 4.0, HTC, and I believe you’ve got the best smartphone ever made.

Buying an HTC One X is a lot like getting a unicorn: it's wild, fast, white, beautiful, expensive and fickle. Time will tell if dressage school tames this power hungry beast. Still, it gives even the mighty Galaxy Nexus a run for its money

Quad-core phones have arrived. While we've already seen the NVIDIA tech on one of our favorite Android tablets, the One X is our first Tegra 3 smartphone to arrive for testing and it doesn't disappoint. We tried to push the hardware as much as we could and it handled nearly all of our tasks effortlessly. GTA3 loaded effortlessly -- and was fast. Even task-switching couldn't sink the phone, although it does pause to think when you jump between heavier tasks like video and gaming. Browser performance is a revelation too. We couldn't spot any tiling issues as we scrolled at high-speed through the front page of Engadget -- none -- pictures were there before we even got to the them.

 

This triumphant real-world performance is backed up by some understandably jaw-dropping benchmark scores, besting even the Transformer Prime in Quadrant and Vellamo performance tests and thrashing the Galaxy Note -- our previous smartphone heavy-lifter -- across the board.

Battery life, however, looks likely to pay the price for this. With brightness set to 50 percent, WiFi on but not connected, the One X's 1,800mAh juicepack managed six hours of continuous video playback -- that's two hours short of its sibling, the One S. Obviously, this sort of activity is likely to use the phone's multiple cores, but we found that Tegra 3's 4-PLUS-1 setup still continues to slurp the battery on very light use -- we didn't notice that extra companion core taking any sort of burden off the phone's power consumption. Checking our battery status, it seems like HTC's Super LCD 2 screen -- perhaps unsurprisingly-- was also to blame for a life span that didn't last a full workday.

There's absolutely no doubt that the One X is a masterpiece of an Android device: it obliterates pretty much all of its competitors by giving even the mighty Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. HTC's really crafted something special here, with a brilliant combination of branding, industrial design and user experience. This handset looks and feels stunning, with top-notch materials and build quality, the most gorgeous display we've ever stared at on a phone, a fantastic camera that's fast and easy to use and a laundry list of every possible spec under the sun. Sense 4 is thin and light enough to enhance -- not detract from -- stock Ice Cream Sandwich. Pinch us, 'cause frankly, we're smitten.

 

Still it's not all rainbows and glitter. While it's incredibly quick and smooth in actual use, we're surprised that the quad-core Tegra 3 in the One X performed slightly worse in our benchmarks than the dual-core Snapdragon S4 in the One S. Battery life is by far our biggest concern and we really hope that HTC addresses this head-on with future software updates. It'll be interesting to see how its LTE equipped twin (which is also Snapdragon S4-based) fares in those areas when it launches in the next few weeks -- let's just hope AT&T keeps the firmware as unadulterated as possible. Ultimately, buying a One X is a lot like getting a unicorn -- it's wild, fast, white, beautiful, expensive and fickle. Time will tell if dressage school tames this power hungry beast.

 

Engadget: Sense 4.0 Review

We have a feeling many ICS fanatics will shun the native Sense browser in favor of Google's own Chrome flavor, but there's still plenty to like about HTC's version -- and it's especially beautiful on a high-performance phone like the One X, given how incredibly smooth it works. We had a very difficult time finding any lag, and tiling on the browser was practically non-existent. And just like the Galaxy Nexus, Sense's version scored a perfect 100 / 100 on the Acid3 test.

Ah, Android skins. We've vehemently opposed many of them over the years, because each manufacturer chooses to value differentiation and "user experience" more than the nature of the OS itself and completely misses the point. Additionally, a healthy portion of these skins are loaded up with so many extra frills and gimmicks that the performance of the actual device suffers as a consequence. HTC's proprietary UI is no exception to this, and in the past has been one of the worst offenders.

 

With the exception of a few questionable nips and tucks, HTC's latest UI, Sense 4.0, has avoided this same reputation. Peter Chou's company has largely succeeded at its goal of bringing a lighter version of its skin to the One series. While it doesn't look like a copy of vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich, it's able to maintain its unique personality but still holds on to the spirit of what Matias Duarte has been working hard to accomplish with the Android OS. By this, we mean offering a fresh design, important new features and great performance -- all of these being elements that were sorely needed. For the first time in ages, we're loving the experience of a Sense-powered device.

The settings menu allows you to switch between the front and rear cameras, set the self timer between off, 2 seconds and 10 seconds, set the image resolution to 8M, 5M, 3M, 1M or VGA, set the video resolution to Full HD, HD, High (VGA), Low (QVGA) or MMS (176x144), set a review duration from off, 3 seconds, 5 seconds and no limit (the default is off), adjust exposure, contrast, saturation and sharpness, set the ISO level to 100, 200, 400 or 800, set the white balance to Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight or Cloudy, enable continuous shooting, toggle face detection, toggle auto smile capture, widescreen or 4:3 resolution and geotagging (for photos), toggle stabilisation, toggle audio and stereo recording (for videos), toggle the grid and shutter sound and toggle auto Dropbox upload. So there’s no shortage of options!

 

The camera launches extremely fast and the application is extremely responsive. The speed with which the device focuses and takes pictures is INSANE. Even faster than the Galaxy Nexus... and that’s fast!

 

Judging picture quality is always somewhat subjective, so in the camera samples below I have included a number of pictures taken with the One X alongside the same picture taken with the Sony Xperia S so that you can judge for yourselves. I’ve found the pictures to look good overall (excellent colour reproduction, well focused etc.) but with a slight lack of detail and some oversaturation when viewed at full resolution.

 

The caveat I have to insert here HTC tell me there are still some software tweaks to follow that will further improve the pictures, but I have to say that while doesn’t necessarily set a new benchmark for picture quality (as yet), it is good and the speed is incredible. Did I mention the speed?

 

The biggest problem I have with phone cameras really isn’t that the picture quality isn’t good enough (although that can be the case), it’s that they take too long to focus, too long to take the shot and the convenience of having a camera right there with you is virtually lost. The camera on the One X does get around this. As I mentioned above, for the sample pictures i've been walking around with the One X and the Sony Xperia S and taking pictures of the same subject at exactly the same time (pressing the shutter buttons at exactly the same time with one phone in each hand). Here's one picture I took of the cat... speed really is everything!

Pros and Cons

 

Pros:

 

Great specs

Awesome screen

Speedy, smooth operation

Superfast camera

Sense done right

Unlockable bootloader

 

Cons:

 

It’s still a big phone

Battery life is an unknown

There will be phones that take better pictures (slower)

No microSD

Fixed battery

The Galaxy S III is coming and might be better

HTC hasn't yet released the official numbers regarding the 1800 mAh battery's talk-time and stand-by times, however, during our testing, we found it to last a reasonable amount of time, having in mind the One X's gargantuan 4.7” screen and quad-core processor.

 

Conclusion:

 

It was really surprising to see HTC fall from a record-breaker to an underperforming company in just a few months. Thankfully, the firm's management has recognized the need for a change and has taken a number of timely actions in order to turn the ship around. The HTC One X is one of the first handsets produced with these new policies in mind, but after spending some time using it, we feel that there's still work ahead of HTC.

 

We really like the new design language that the company has employed. It's previous phones were well-built, but too thick and masculine. Now, the One X comes to introduce us to a new, slimmer and much more elegant appearance, which should further popularize the brand among the mass public.

 

With such advanced and expensive devices like the HTC One X, though, you have to demand top-notch quality in every aspect. That's not what we got with it. For the most part, there's nothing wrong with the handset. It has a big and beautiful screen, fluid UI and pretty much every hardware or software feature that a user may need. However, when you delve deeper is when you begin to encounter its imperfections, most of which are software-related. We appreciate the fact that the manufacturer has simplified the Sense UI and has worked a lot to improve certain aspects of the device, but the final result is still not quite there. Don't get us wrong – the One X gets the job done, but with such a premium handset, we expect more than this.

 

For now, the One X comes to prove that HTC is working actively to innovate its line-up, and while it's moving in the right direction, this is not the ultimate phone we've been looking for.

Score: 7.8 out of 10

PROS

Slim and solid body

Beautiful HD display

Future-proof quad-core processor

Great video watching experience

 

CONS

1080p video recording at 23 fps

Unintuitive stock browser

Typing experience could have been much better

SlashGear

NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 is a mainstay in recent Android tablets, but it’s a rarer thing in smartphones. With 4+1 cores – the latter responsible, so NVIDIA says, for low-level tasks that might otherwise demand the main cores light up and consume more power – there’s certainly no shortage of grunt for games and multimedia playback, both being smooth. However, the performance is also noticeable in day to day use, such as in the speed that a heavy Gmail inbox is ready for use. We ran Geekbench Advanced, and the One X scored an admirable 3399.

The One X is a large phone, and making voice calls can be a little unwieldy; still, the end result is clear audio, thanks to the dual microphones and noise reduction system. The Beats Audio tuning is available to all media apps, not just HTC’s own as in 2011 Beats-branded phones, and does its usual job of boosting bass frequencies.

 

By opting for a unibody design, HTC has been forced to make the 1,800 mAh battery non-user-accessible. It’s larger than what’s inside many handsets, but with a quadcore processor that seems something of a necessity.

 

Still, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the One X’s runtimes. From a full charge, with push email turned on and a mixture of heavy browsing, messaging, Google Maps and some media playback, as well as use of the camera and a few voice calls, the One X lasted nearly 12 hours.

 

That’s under somewhat extreme conditions; with more typical use, we managed a day before recharging was needed, and that “+1″ Tegra 3 core seemed to justify its inclusion with low standby drain even with push services active. Turn to CPU- and GPU-intensive gaming and it’s possible to drain the One X in relatively short order, unsurprisingly, but it’s good to have the option of either hardcore performance or regular speed.

Wrap-Up

HTC has a lot to prove. Whether it was down to resting on its collective laurels, misreading the market, or simply getting its 2011 product line wrong, last year turned out to be something of an annus horribilis all round. Rivals accelerated past, Apple broadened its iPhone range across price points, and in contrast HTC phones looked derivative and lumpen.

 

They’re not accusations that could easily be levelled against the HTC One X. The new flagship is distinctively designed and well constructed, has an admirable camera and a solid screen. The Tegra 3 chipset is capable of both speed and endurance depending on what’s demanded of it, particularly gaming and HD video, though the non-expandable storage could prove limiting if your connection isn’t up to streaming from cloud storage such as Dropbox.

 

Is the One X enough to inure HTC against the incoming threat of the Galaxy S III or the iPhone 5? Both devices are shaping up to be worthy contenders, and HTC’s 2011 range struggled to compete with their predecessors, but the One X is leagues ahead of where the Sensation series left off. It’ll take more than good looks and a fast chip to make the One X an automatic success, but it’s is a capable phone and, perhaps more importantly, a sign that HTC has finally turned a corner in its strategy and products.

Pocket-lint

Performance, calling, battery

So far we've said little about the actual performance of the One X. Sure, it does a lot, but does it do it well? In a word, yes. This is a silky smooth Android experience, the power of the One X and the improvements in Android and Sense 4 make this an excellent smartphone experience. Many new devices demonstrate some stability problems, but we've found the HTC One X to be pretty much free of problems.

 

It's easy to forget that this is also a phone, but happily we can report that we experienced no problems with calls during our time with the phone. Callers come across loud and clear and we didn't experience any problems with reception.

 

But with all this power and a huge screen, you'd expect the battery to be the area where the phone critically fails. The 1800mAh cell might not be the largest when set alongside rivals from Motorola, but it performs pretty well in reality. It saw us through a long working day with plenty of calls and data use, along with typical use of the camera and some HD video capture, offering around 13 hours of use.

 

Sure, if you work it hard, play a lot of games on your commute, constantly listen to music or make lots of calls, you'll see the battery fall away, but it's better than we expected. On light days, we've had no battery worries at all, but you'll still be charging every night.

Verdict

With the HTC One X we were prepared to not be disappointed, but that isn't the case. HTC's attention to detail in design has created a device that looks great as well as being practical to use. Yes, it's large, but it works as a large device and the display is fantastic.

 

We had also prepared ourselves to find that HTC Sense was too oppressive. Yes, HTC have played with Android at every level and there may be some things you don't like, but it does now feel like a lighter touch. It's definitely HTC, but we've spent more time appreciating the additions, rather than berating the flaws.

 

There's also plenty we haven't touched on - the convenient HTC Car interface, the movie editor, the integrated address book experience.

 

Yet, this isn't a perfect phone. We found the camera was oversaturated by default and could do some things better, the keyboard takes up too much space with little benefit, Google Maps is shunned for Locations and media streaming from a network didn't want to work. But these aren't insurmountable problems, easily fixed with tweaks or third-party apps (and we're sure HTC will fix the media streaming problem).

 

The HTC One X is an excellent and fitting flagship handset. It's a great smartphone to live with: a cleaner, fresher HTC experience, packed into a device with the power to impress and a design that will turn heads.
