  Great performance, however the phone does heat up a bit when launching heavy games. Battery life drains amazingly fast! The camera is decent but when attempting to produce macro/close up shots the camera simply can't focus. Sense is a bit heavy but that is easily fixed by rooting to get stock Android 4.1. The display is amazing (but obviously not as good as the 1080p screen on the DNA). I noticed a bit of creaking on the phone as it vibrates when using the capacitive keys and the volume rocker is also a bit creaky. Overall a great device!

  Best phone ever. Especially after the ICS 4.0.4 + Sense 4.1 update. No lag, fast as hell.
  Display is second to none. Different viewing angles & direct sunlight are not problems for my HOX. Gaming with Tegra 3 is a joy! Everything works perfectly. Battery life is OK , full day with no problems.
  Smooth and fast browsing, never experienced any problems with the reception.
  p.s. no problems with Wi-FI, screen, yellow tint or whatever.

  love the phone - best phone i've ever owned. One thing - for a phone that can hammer a nail with it's screen without breaking, it has a severe weakness. I dropped my phone about 4 inches on cement and it shattered. $200 mistake. I didn't buy a case because i thought it was pretty indestructable and i've never broken a screen before with gorilla glass. Because the screen protrudes out from the concave frame, if you happen to hit the corner or edge of the glass, it breaks quite easily.

  The HTC One X has been mine for quite a while now and I have just a feel things to complain. The design is gorgeous, it runs fast, call quality can't be any better and so forth. One of my major disappointments was that apps would unload in the background after a few second. So every time I respond to a text and go back to the browser, it had to reload the page. One of my other disappointments was the camera. With it being one of the One X's key features I had high expectations. However while the picture quality is the best I've seen on an Android smartphone, it still does not come close to any professional quality. I'm still very happy I got this phone and still don't want any other phone right now.

  Absolutely stunningly beautiful. The screen is retina-quality; the hardware is solid and a gorgeous twist on HTC's design legacy; and contrary to the Verge's own reviewer I find the Sense 4.0 UI to be a refreshingly bright and pleasant twist on the stock ICS UI that I used on my old rooted Desire.

  I've always wanted an Android phone that can exceed the iPhone across the board, and the One X really delivers. It could do with a bigger battery, but to be honest the current set-up sees me through the day easily. HTC really are back in the game after last year's relatively weak offering.

  One X is the best smartphone I have ever had before, especially for the display. It's stunning. Also, the Sense 4.0 is really user-oriented. The web browsing is smooth and fast with no lag. Burst shooting is really convenient whiling you are taking video recording. I'm able to pick the best photo took. Camera is really good as well.

  Anyway, you wont regret to have it on hand guarantee!

  Major Points:
  Great Display infact the best display I have ever seen coming from SGS2, iphone 4s, Galaxy Nexus and Note.
  Build quality feels nice in the hand and overall it feels great to hold it in hand, stare at it all the time.

  Major Cons:
  Battery life and camera quality are big letdowns in my opinion. Camera is not great compared to 4S or samsung high end phones although the new camera software rocks. Battery life is crazy low if you use the phone normally.

  Neutral:
  Sense is toned down a bit and provides some nice features compared to stock Android. But this has it's drawbacks as well making the device little sluggish at times.

  Wrap Up:
  Overall it's a great device and definitely recommend. When it comes to high end Android it's either this or the SGS3.

  The HTC One X is the best-looking Android phone right now on the market IMHO and comes with a superior gaming experience on the Tegra 3 platform. The companion core works amazingly well while in standby where you will experience at most 3% battery life drop over 8 hours of standby. With normal usage without gaming, I can typically get around 1.5 days before requiring a charge. With THD gaming (e.g. sonic/dark meadow/shadowgun thd), battery life unfortunately can only manage around 4-6 hours, but hey that's better than the PS Vita!

  Sense is unobtrusive and there's a reason why every Android phone out there wants a Sense clock!

  On the camera front, I have to say the phone is not that great at photos in low light but great (for a phone camera level) at daylight pictures!
