Amazing HTC One X+ Review

Its been a little over 6 months since HTC launched its high end flagship device, the One X and today a spec bumped successor available.

The One X+ keeps all the best features from the One X and brings a modest spec bump to one of our current favorite Android devices. Read on to find out    how the smartphone compares with the competition.  

Hardware

1.Like the original HTC One X, the One X+ remains a gorgeous looking handset with a beautiful unibody polycarbonate design.

2.The front of the handset is dominated by a large Gorilla Glass 2 screen measuring 4.7″. The screen has a resolution of 720×1280. The front camera is a 1.6MP unit which is much improved from the camera module on the One X. We’ll have more on this under the camera section.

3.Three capacitive buttons are located below the display and correspond to back, menu and recent apps. The buttons are colored red instead of white on the One X+ model and this is one of the few ways you could differentiate between the One X and its successor.

4.On the right side is the volume rocker while the left side houses a micro USB port. The micro USB jack doubles up as a MHL port. The 3.5mm audio jack is located at the top of the handset. Up top you can find a new redesigned power button which we felt provides better tactile feedback than the one on the One X. We wish that the power button was relocated to the side of the handset making it a bit easier to reach considering the size of the handset.

5.The rear of the handset has the 8MP camera module as expected. The camera is surrounded by a red ring keeping in line with the red highlights on the capacitive buttons. A beats logo is presented towards the lower half while charging points ensure compatibility with all existing docks.

6.The speaker is located below the beats logo as mentioned earlier and is a marked improvement over the one on the One X. HTC has added a feedback amplifier to the handset to improve sound quality. This coupled with the beats software enhancements resulted in louder playback with much lower levels of distortion.
