I had such a good laugh at your post Jon D. Samjunk, that’s a good one.

I own a HTC One X, have since March (store let me get one two days early) and prior to Sense 4.1, I was in the same boat of thinking that 2GB of RAM should of gone into this phone as the phone rarely had more than 90mb of RAM free. But with Sense 4.1, they cleaned out the junk and now there’s 300mb ram free all the time. Don’t know what you want with 1300mb of free RAM, what application you can run on a phone needs that much?
I also think that the One X’s have a much nicer looking body than the SG SIII.

This One X+ almost feels like a big middle finger to One X owners; “Now that you’re on a contract/bought our phone, here’s a faster, better One X.”

Kind’ve annoying they’ve got Jelly Bean on this thing but haven’t put it out on the One X yet too.

Reply to Jon d…
I absolutely agree with what you have to say… IT IS because of htc that Android became alive and Samsung is truly a company that just copies others & adds plastic to it..
Samsung was nothing, but it knew htc with its sense features was a hit, and so they tried to copy and create sense sort of widgets for themselves, they knew I phone was also a big hit so they tried to copy their design as well. The true innovators are htc and apple, but recently Samsung is becoming the big hit due to its big amoled screens, simple (ugly) widget features, and mainly of all due to their large amount of money to spend on advertisement.
I love htc phones, I still carry my hts desire with me all the time along with my HTC rebound.. Their beautiful and functional devices that just work. HTC doesn’t have enough money to spend on innovation or advertisement, and they have made some mistakes such as not including a removable battery or sd card, and which people at that time were obsessed about, Samsung saw htc fails and used htc downfall for their upgain.. I’ve tried iphone and s3, got bored of the lack of freedom in the I phone and hated the plastic feel and amoled screen of Samsung…
HTC can still make a comeback… If rumours are true of gtc releasing a 5 inch device with sharps new 443ppi display technology,,, it will be both beautiful to look at and amazing to use… HTC will definitely make a difference and a comeback that will leave Samsung looking like crap… Hrc will make the 1st again and will hopefully look back at their booming past foundation to create the next boundry…

In response to just another idiot who makes the same stupid comments I hear so many others make. So obviously, he is just repeating the words of most likely the comments of one of the many Samjunk fanboys. You and all you other dummies who continue to put down HTC, about how they are failing because they didn’t put 2 gigs of ram, they don’t have a micro SD slot, or a removable battery. Are you serious. Now, I don’t really want to harp much on LG, as I wish them well, there innovators. But they need to make up a lot of ground after that G2 flagship failure. And as far as HTC goes my friend, being a ANDROID user as I expect you are. We wouldn’t even be close to the phenomenal phones we have 2 day if it wasn’t for HTC. HTC is android, who would the almighty Samsung have to copy from, if not for HTC! And when I say Almighty, I hope you know I was being sarcastic. Let me break this down for you just a little. HTC, first android phone, first 4 g phone, first 4g lte, first dual core, first quad core, first big beautiful big 4.3 inch screen. The list goes on and on what HTC has done for Android phones. But you are right about one thing, they are losing a lot of ground to Samsung. And not only does that anger me, it saddens me much more. And you and all the other HTC haters need to wake up real fast. Because if they shall fall, Android will be on the down fall. How will they ever continue to get better with out HTC to copy from. And you mention Samsung, the biggest copy company of them all. Why do they always seem to wait for HTC to release there flagship before they bring out there own, ring a bell? What about WBC of march this year? Samjunk had there flagship S111 ready for the event, but when they got wind of the ONE X, they pulled there S111 from the event because it couldn’t compete. Went and threw in some scrappy software gimmicks like that garbage S voice and all the sudden there the greatest. You don’t see HTC losing a 1.3 BILLION dollar lawsuit to apple for copying. That’s HTC’S only down fall, is not suing Samsung there self. HTC, are innovators, and they will always have my support. I just hope one day all you people wake up one morning and realize its better to stand in a leaders corner. Because if we lose that leader one day, all you standing in the followers corner, will crash into a wall. The reason all you think Samsung is the best, is because they have the means ( money ), to make you believe that with all there advertising. Then they start getting some band wagon followers, and they start running at the mouth, getting more and more people to believe there crap. All of you let Samjunk hustle you. There so good, that they took HTC’S invention, threw garbage PLASTIC around it and still hooked there fish hook line and sinker. You know what gets me the most, is Samsung fanboys calling Apple users fanboys. Apple is innovators, you can’t be fanboys if your with Apple, your smart, same as HTC user’s. The only fanboys out there are Samjunk jockey’s. For HTC and APPLE, your admirers of greatness. For Samjunk, your FANBOY, of FAKENESS! ( I KNOW NOT A WORD ). I know I was talking some smack, but I really do hope you all thunk about what I said, we need to put HTC back on top, they made this happen, not Samsung. Good luck and wishing you all a long and happy life, PEACE!

@G
350 ppi? Do you know that our naked eye can’t really see the difference beyond 326ppi? the reason for the magic number from apple.
One of the first phones to feature a quad core chip running on LTE, and what do we have to say it is outdated!! oh yeah very geeky indeed!!
Yes, samsung & other manufactures would definitely ease out the HTC from the market with their cheap-plastic and an sub-standard music quality which is the same from galaxy y to galaxy sIII, and I thought we were talking about quality here. How foolish of me!!
12 MP camera? R u kidding me? Do you even know there are many other dimensions than just improving the Megapixels? And that it hardly makes a difference beyond 7 or 8 MP with the change in the pixels but should rather be more concerned about the exposure, the effectiveness in dim light and stuff?
And 2 Gigs of ram? I don’t see the purpose really!! unless you want to be running 4-5 heavy games simultaneously and in that case you would be end up burning your phone with the heat so it hardly matters.

Did you say 350 ppi? What do you want to do with so many pixels? Do you want to pass time by putting it under a microscope and count all pixels? LOL! You also want 12 MP camera. So you believe, more MP means better camera. Beyond certain MP shoot, quality depends a lot more on sensor, stabilization techniques, processing algorithm etc. You yourself said that dual core is faster than quad core. So why do you want nothing less than S4? There is enough capacity in all modern age processors to take care of computing. Let device makers come out with optimized softwares to use it fully. HTC is making really beautiful phones. Wish they can differentiate themselves from the herd mentality and come out with distinguishing features.

Htc’s one x+ is hardly worth a mention as they
Continue their tradition holding back their
Tech. The LG optimus g has 2gigs of ram, a 13 mp
Camera, and a s4 processor that makes htc look like
A joke. The Oppo find 5 leaves every htc offering in the dust.This is the main reason samsung & other manufacturers
Will slowly ease htc from the market. The s3 destroyed the one x
In sales & it looks like it’s about the end of the line for htc. The DUAL core htc one xl performs better than the quadcore one x! How could they not include an sd slot on the one x? How could the wifi on their ‘flagship’ not function properly? Stop putting out inferior phones htc.. For once give the people what they deserve.. Atleast 2 gb ram, a better
display with atleast 350 ppi, sd card slot , a 12 mp camera, and nothing less than an s4 processor.
