HTC One X Is A Super Android Phone

The HTC One X is an Android phone offered by the Wireless Phone Network, AT&T. It comes with a clean look and a trusted wireless carrier, here is a good look at the Good and the bad of the phone.

The HTC One X comes with the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system that many past Android users didn't get to enjoy due to all the can't update shenanigans that Google/Carriers were giving. It has a very modern look and feel, and it feels solidly built.

It feels comfortable and has a big portability feature since the phone is very thin, it fits right in your pocket. However, the phone isn't flat-backed. The Camera on the back of the phone sticks out unlike the iPhone or other Android phones. The One X has a 4.7-inch, 1280 x 720 (720p) LCD screen with Gorilla Glass. Text is crisp and clear, photos are sharp, and videos play well without any issues.

A flat slab that has smoothly rounded edges and a gently curved back, the HTC One X definitely flaunts an ultramodern aesthetic, especially the chic white-hued version I reviewed. You'll want to be careful how you tote the One X since its white surface attracts smudges easily. Measuring 5.3 inches tall by 2.75 inches wide by 0.36 inch thick, the One X certainly is a handful. Still, its 4.6-ounce weight lends the plastic phone some solidity.

The buttons on the One X are all the same color as the case and are small, sleek, and very low profile. The power button is on the top right corner, and the volume buttons is on the right side. In my opinion, the buttons are a little too sleek. They're hard to find when you're fumbling for the power button, or turning down a ring that is suddenly too loud in a quiet room, etc.

The screen is quite narrow, but landscape mode will fix it up if your fingers are too big for texting. The headphone jack is on the top left corner, and the sync port is on the left side. Underneath the screen on the front is three buttons instead of the four: back, home and recent apps and there is no menu or search button.

The phone comes with the Crisp Beats Audio technology, enhancing music, phone calls, videos, apps, and more. The Beats Audio patented sound enhancement truly is out of this world sound quality.

As you'd expect on a modern Android device, the One X comes with the usual Google services on board, including Gmail, Google+, and Navigation, along with the Play Store, from which you can download apps from a catalog of over 500,000 titles. Play also provides digital books, movies, games, and music to purchase. If that's still not enough entertainment, HTC's Watch app hawks TV shows and movies for rental or purchase.

The Phone supports .aac, .amr, .ogg, .m4a, .mid, .mp3, .wav, and .wma audio formats and records audio in .amr. It also supports .3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv , and .avi video formats and records in a .mp4 format.
