Product Review - HTC One X

With all the buzz currently in the high end smart phone market, people are eager to get their hands on those really cool devices that hit the stores. But before you buy a product, it is essential to know its technical details because that's what decides whether a phone is worth its price. It is best to stay informed.

The elite smart phones are basically made and targeted to only the premium class as they will be able to make the most of the phone's applications and will know what is the best to be expected from the phone. This class also knows what all are the best and the worst of the phones. They will also be able to judge correctly whether they are getting the best returns for the money that they have invested in the phones which come with a huge price tag. 

Talk about costly phones with good looks and there is no way one can leave the HTC One X out of the conversation! This beautiful piece does surely look like one had to shell out a mini fortune for it. According to the web review, it's poly-carbonate exterior is quite impressive to hold when in the palms and gives a very rich feeling unlike certain plastic phones. This light material on the exterior makes the phone impressively light for its size. It is not only the weight but the phone is also a rightful contender for the slimmest smart phone in the high range. What catches the eye at the first glance of the phone is definitely the mind blowing 4.7 inch IPS LCD 2 panel display which gives very sharp pictures and display which is not affected much by the presence of sunlight.

This beauty is packed with a quad core 1.5 GHz processor with Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset which makes multitasking a real piece of cake. The 4.0 ice cream sandwich OS comes with the improvements of project butter which ensures that the phone's UI is at its best and hardly has any glitches at all. The 32 GB internal memory of the HTC One X makes it the perfect device that one can have for surfing and downloading as those who will be using it will surely be keeping the phone busy throughout the day. The phone's screen now gives quicker access to the missed calls and messages in case there are any pending notifications. The device is quite sturdy and better to use than most of the other phones in the segment due to its connectivity. 1 GB of RAM also adds to the awesomeness of the phone. 

The phone offers an 8 MP camera with auto focus and LED flash. I can't say much about its quality as I haven't tested it yet but another notable feature about it is that it offers HD image and video recording with 1080p full HD video playback. It also has a 1.3 MP secondary camera. One particular thing which might be disappointing is the fact that it has no memory expansion option and hence the user has no choice but to use the fixed internal memory. 

As far as connectivity options are concerned, you can turn your 3G connection into a WiFi Hotspot thanks to Android and HTC’s implementation. There is NFC and WiFi Direct. It features Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi n channel support.

Well to wrap it up, the HTC One X is an eye pleasing phone with good looks and power packed hardware. There are very few gadgets that look great and perform to live up to the first good impression. This one has all the right ingredients. But what about the huge price tag? Is it justified? Well that's up to you to decide because when it comes to high end smart phones, there are always a few more options available to compare and choose from. But if you are an HTC &  Android fan with a high budget, this phone will definitely make you fall in love with it.
