I’ve been using a HTC One X (Tegra) Version for the past 20 days. This my second HTC device after the first Android device – Google ADP1 (HTC G1). Truth to be told, I am very disappointed with the HTC One X.

Pros:-

  • Good Looking
  • Nice HD Screen
HTC One X Tegra India HTC One X India

Cons:-

  • Sharp edges makes it uncomfortable to hold HOX for longer periods.
  • Battery life is a meh.
  • Sense 4 stutters after installing few other 3rd party apps
  • Multi-Tasking is screwed up
  • The development community is not so vibrant on XDA-Forums
  • Uses a Gingerbread Kernel! (NVIDIA’s fault)
  • Camera is not as good as Galaxy S2 or iPhone 4S (I own both). Lots of noise and macro shots are crap.
  • S-Off is not there.
  • Screen flickers while on low brightness. (For many people)
  • Game Volume is considerably lower than iPhone 4S.
  • Stinks plastic. (really!)

Hope this helps!

[Update] I sold One X and moved on to a Samsung Galaxy S3.
