HTC One x reivew

ok, so here we go, its been way too long since i have written something on my blog. will attempt to do a tech blog today.

i bought the HTC One X about 2 months ago and this blog is a review of the phone. the phone is extremely light and feels great to use. the touch screen works as a touch screen should which is super responsive to touch. the dealer from whom i bought the phone said that i should put in an extra screen gaurd, didnt see the point of it since this was supposed to guerilla 2 glass but went ahead and put it any way.

Screen: the screen display is simply amazing, one feels the crispness of the picture and graphics whenever you turn the screen. you would start expecting this for other phones and devices that you view.. :), the touch screen is hyper responsive and allows you to do most tasks smoothly and manuever your way around easily.

Camera: this is the main reason you should buy the phone, i mean i m not into photography but some of the shots that have come about are stunning, plus you can do super stuff like add effects to pictures etc before taking them. Camera load time is less than 1 sec, which is pretty cool if you are  pass through photographer like me. I took some videos using the phone and they came out superb as well.

Games: Again the screen size and crispness of the picture will enable full enjoyment of games, however there is one thing that i noticed. some times after playing for about 10 to 15 mins the phone becomes super hot- i mean you could cook an omlette on it. this is especially true if you have left some game open and locked the screen- the phone just overheats in this case- so you definitely need to have a task manager which can kill stuff that you are not using.

Phone: I used the headsets provided by HTC and the clarity is simply superb, Can do easy 1 to 2 hour calls on this phone without it eating any battery or getting overheated. therefore talk time is not a problem. if you like me are travelling abroad and dont want the hassle of changing SIM's etc its best to put the phone on airplane mode- otherwise it drains itself in about half a day.

Music: i have still not broadcasted songs on this phone but i am looking forward considering the clarity i was able to extract out of the music.

SMS threads: this is one super feature, if you are sending a sms to someone you can actually have the entire history of correspondence which makes it easy to refer back (same as a i-phone i hear)

Sync: they have thought of almost everything with this phone, you can actually sync with your older phone and pull contacts and even SMS!!!, this i thought was pretty cool since continuation is a key when selecting a device.

Phone book: you can type a persons name and it will pick out who you are trying to call, for example if you wanted to type JOHN, simply go to the phone menu and hit 5646 and it will show you the list of Johns available on your phone book.

Apps/App Store: Pre loaded apps such as facebook etc are good to have since you are probably going to post some pics and updates as soon as you get near a Wi-fi

Multi Screen: Well your multi-split screen is a great place to store your apps- helps you in navigating to your favorite apps which you have downloaded.

All in all i think that the HTC One X is great value for money. With a 4.0 Ice Cream sandwich OS and the stunning camera it will do spectacular justice if you have become addicted to clicking away...

Thats all for now and do write back if you fancy a conversation...
