After a horrendous second quarter which saw a 57% decline in net year-over-year, Q3 is shaping up to be more of the same for the Taiwan based handset manufacturer as the company says to expect revenue down as much as 23% sequentially...

Sad cause I think the OneX is better than the s3
Even people asked me what's the best quad core phone in the market I will tell the, take a look at the OneX because cheaper than s3 , beats audio , better screen , better ui and design but they will still buy the s3 because HTC doesn't really have the COOL status here in Malaysia unlike Samsung and apple

Few days ago my friend asked me, what I think about HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III. And I told that in my opinion, better to wait for new Nexus device. ;)

a Nexus built by Motorola to be exact.

There is rumors that there will be more than one Nexus smartphone this year. But who knows.

There may be several Nexii, but only 1 built by Motorola can be big success b-c SS or HTC will surely hold back some key technologies for their own flagships.

yeah the s3 is faster than the OneX , but my point is OneX is fast enough . How fast do you want your phone to be ? The old nexus one days (android lag ) are long gone .
From how i think , GNexus is launched at November next year , so its gonna be a long wait and will be launching after the next iPhone .
+ GNexus is the same price with the HTC OneX here while galaxy s3 cost usd100 more unlocked
Normally i wont recommend the iPhone to other people because hey , it wasnt as good as the androids now and a new one is coming anyway . (except to some not advanced users , like my 70 year old uncle , you get the idea )

I agree with you... S3 is faster than the One X. Since I got the One X, I didn't feel like I absolutely needed S3. If I didn't get the One X, I would probably lean toward getting the S3. Even tho One X is slower, it's still a solid device that will last for a long time.

The one x is a top phone and sold well from q1 up to the time the s3 was launched,then sales took a big hit. The problem with HTC phones is that they have become very samey,a well as the one x looks it still shares alot of the HTC generic phone look. Sense styling has remained the same and needs a major revamp also,especially the icons.
HTC needs to go out on a limb and release a breathtaking phone like the concept HTC1 phone as seen here

They will get bankrupt if they make this phone, LOL. I think 1S design is great, all they need is better screen, better camera and JB.

Well not this phone to every single detail tech wise but a phone with a very different design similar to this which would be a welcome break from the HTC generic look

Different? This looks exactly like Experia models.

Only if they wouldn't have dropped the Sd card and removable battery they would have had better sales!

Sure they will sell more with SD slot and removable battery, but I think the main flaw is the poor camera and lack of a killer feature required for a top phone.
14. andro. posted on 03 Aug 2012, 06:50 0 0
The lack of an sd slot is certain a key point,I've seen many a customer becoming undecided on purchasing the one s or one x as there wasn't a micro sd card slot

i remember reading an article that says 99% of consumers dont care
Well , i dont .
The iphone doesnt have it anyway and i dont see anyone complaining
Just get a car charger or charge it while at work for removable battery
For SD cards i dont see the point of it the internat storage of the OneX is 32GB and you get 25gb of free dropbox anyway

After last year success HTC has lost it's way. There were too many models. slow updates while SS got almost everything right with Galaxy line. I think HTC has the right strategy with the One series but the execution was not on par with SS's GS3.
But I think JB came to the rescue and if HTC can quickly adopt it for their One X and One S they will bounce back.

HTC's update is faster than Samsungs
Example Evo 3d got ics before epic 4g touch
sensation and sensation se got ics before galaxy s2
Old phone such as incredible s got ics while galaxy s1 series (even the s plus , which have the same cpu and ram as xperia arc s ) doesnt not

This has nothing to do with the one x' quality in comparison to iPhone.
Actually, with JB I see one x as superior even to iPhone 5.

Seriously, I look forward to that future comparison

You know what it's killing HTC? Carrier exclusives, and stupid moves like fixed batteries and lack of micro sd card slots. Because as a long time HTC fan I just looked on in disappointment when I saw ATT get the One X exclusivity. Then when I saw its lack of expandability I thought to myself, I wouldn't have bought it anyway. Now I'm the happy owner of a Galaxy S3. No user swappable batteries and fixed memory? Who do they think we are iPhone buyers?

Personally I think the One X is the best looking android phone out right now in terms of the handset and skin. Performance of the US version is on par with the S3 (albeit with less RAM, which could possibly cause issues later on), battery life is similar, screen is better. I prefer the international One X because additional storage and better gaming support even though the battery life isn't as good. 16GB is too small of storage for the US version, IMO, should have released larger capacity versions since it's not expandable. I've had Samsung phones forever, had the Captivate and Droid Charge, and honestly both were laggy, charge had atrocious battery life and neither had good update support.
