AT&T has taken the up the task of boosting its smartphone Arsenal with top-tier 4G LTE devices, like the HTC Titian II and the Lumia 900 from Nokia. Now we have the carriers first Android 4.0 device; the HTC One X, which Sports a 4.7-inch HD super LCD 1280x720, running Android 4.0 with Sense UI 4.0. As mentioned it is a 4G LTE device on AT&T network. Its got 1GB of Ram with 16GB of onboard storage( not expandable via microSD). All powered with a Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor at 1.5Ghz. Its also got Beats audio, a 2 megapixel front facing camera and an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and zero shutter lag for some really cool photos. You also have physical buttons in place of one-screen buttons you find on the Galaxy Nexus. Which include your back home and multi-task button. Overall the HTC One X is super slim and light weight for a 4.7-inch device and you can see that clearly in the video review below.
HTC Sense 4.0
Yes the HTC One X is a Android 4.0 device, but like with most Android devices it still sports a custom U.I. Sense 4.0 has come a long way, for the past year sense UI has been clunky, heavy and down right slows a system down. HTC has gone back to the drawing board and retooled their UI to be more of a complimentary piece to sensei UI. It much smoother, faster and more responsive. Some of the complimentary additions to Android 4.0 with Sense 4.0 is the music hub, which automatically aggregates all your music apps to that hub as soon as you download them. So you always know where all your music is. The Settings layout is a bit different but still has a familiar look. Also multitask has take a different graphical look, with the multitask area being a separate window to kill or jump into a separate app. Overall Sense 4.0 does take away from Android 4.0; it tries to fill in the gaps where necessary.
Beats Audio
As we all know all HTC smartphone will come with beast audio(Android for the time being). Which is to aid and give better sounding audio to your overall experience using the HTC One X as a multimedia device. What we have seen in the past is that this has done nothing to improve the audio quality in video recording off the camera or music quality. I can safely say that first off, the audio quality of the camera recording is greatly improved which you can get a sample of in our Camera review & tips. Plus listening to music with beats audio turned on adds and extra element to your listening experience which is welcomed.
Conclusion
HTC has really changed its its design philosophy and its software approach. No more clucky hardware, but now we have a smooth ceramic lightweight device. No more cluttered software in Sense, but a more robust and adaptive software with Sense 4.0 on top of ICS. You also got what can be considered one of the best if not all around best cameras on any smartphone with its software and hardware combo. Battery life with with 4G LTE is at 14hrs Max, which is pretty good for an Android Device with is 1800mAh battery. It also has great voice call quality and beats audio has evolved past the gimmick stages on the device.
One area HTC de drop the ball on this device is the lack of expanded storage via microSD card and no removable battery. Though HTC does supplement that with free 25GB cloud storage via dropbox for a year. That being said, the HTC One X is a solid device and dare I say the best Android 4.0 device on the market as of today. you can pre-order yours at AT&T for a set release date of May 6th @$199 with 2 year contract and comes in White and Black. it is definitely a worthy buy in our book
