HTC One X+ review: The complete package - read the full textThere's no denying that the HTC One X was an amazingly solid smartphone. On the surface it even looked like as good a package as its main rival at the time, the Galaxy S III, and having a head-start to the market it was almost expected for it to become a huge success...

That's the problem with both phones and tablets, distributors and dealers stock up on the smallest storage models only. How many times I tried to find a 32gb tablet here, it's impossible, even if all tablets are available on 32gb. For sure we will never see the 64gb htc here. Never. Let's just learn from history and gave that fact already, then about that the one x is only 32gb in real life.

That's m4a file type. Now it takes like 1.7 gb. Ok ? I can chose the compresion for the files. Make sure it's at least 20+kbps, i go for 32kbps, higher is a waste it sounds the same...and make sure it/ the parametric type. 32kbps parametric eaac+ sounds just like 128kbps mp3. So now if i get a phone with 8gb, take 3gb for formating and a few games photos and files, so that's 5gb for m4a files like 70gb of mp3.

I own this phone and every thing on it is brilliant including battery life and camera. In my opinion a far better phone than Samsung and Iphone 5 (their interfaces are horrible). Why would you need an SD card slot when the phone has 64Gb storage? Why do you need to take the battery out?- I never do. 4G is a waste of time at the moment as it isnt properly up and running yet. HTC phones are far more classy, better made and innovative than all the other phones out their put together!

I thought the One X+ comes with LTE like the One XL. This looks like a glaring omission on the part of HTC. Not quite there yet unlike S3 or iPhone 5. Sure they have the One XL. But that's an 'old' model already.

im still trying to figure out why they released this phone. It makes no sense to me. Like why did sammy release the galaxy mini. They ar least should have deaigned the bezel sexier that is the mini

For those complaining about sd slot, OTG is now available in One X+ and One X with JB. Do u still think sd micro slot is absolutely needed??? Just curious.

The image quality seems HTC standard, that is to say: dreadful. Sorry, but it seems all competitors can do better. I'd like to love the phone, but I guess, with that photos, the One X+ just isn't for me.

This device has been out for 6 MONTHS in the US and its STILL only available on ONE carrier. Thats why it hasnt sold that well and is losing groudn to other devices. HTC doesnt seem to get it, that to get huge sales the devices have to be easily available to obtain. This was not done with the One x. Then 6 months later they give another exclusive deal to AT&T again as a refresh and still limit it to AT&T. This is one reason I'm getting tired of their business model. They can't seem to get a flagship device released on ALL major US carrier the way Samsung and Apple do. And this is why they're falling behind every quarter.

Keeps on stabbing or rather milking their fans.
One day they will eat their own abandonment

I Have yet to meet someone who uses 128gb...(like on the galaxy S3)
Besides,HTC is offering 32gb and 64gb version...so no complaints

And your quote of nonreplacable battery proves you understand nothing. Except AAPL, all others are losers. Look at top smartphone's manufacturers from Q3: 1. Samsung, 3. Huawei, 4. Sony, and 5. ZTE. They all have microSD card slot, and except few top Sony's and Huawei's models, all have replacable battery. That is what market want.
