HTC’s One X is an excellent phone, but it’s currently only available for Optus and Vodafone customers. What happens when you take an excellent phone and add 4G to it?
Aussies certainly know a thing or two about patent disputes delaying product launches. It sucks. Now Americans are facing that fate with the HTC One X and Evo 4G LTE (the US-centric successor to the Evo 3D). They’ll be indefinitely delayed at US Customs for investigation of an Apple patent infringement. HTC explains:
The HTC One X is a great phone, but one that you can currently only get on Optus or Vodafone’s networks. Its Telstra LTE equivalent, the One XL was originally tipped to follow shortly after the One X’s launch, but it looks like we might have to wait a while longer.
Beauty is fleeting, I guess. The matte finish of the HTC One X is gorgeous but there’s probably a reason why Apple and Nokia have chosen to go glossy with its phones instead of matte — it doesn’t get ruined. Wiping off the blue stains seems to do the trick but you can imagine people getting lazier and lazier and having their phone eventually devolve into a bruised-looking mess.
We’re seeing more and more high-end smartphones enter the market, including the just announced Samsung Galaxy S III. But which of the super phones coming soon will be your next handset? Here’s how these upcoming beasts compare.
The old HTC is dead. Long live the new HTC, with fewer products and more attention to detail. The HTC One line heralds this new day. We’ve already seen the HTC One X here in Australia, but over in the US, the first phone they’ll see is the HTC One S.
HTC’s year on year profits were down a stunning 70 per cent, and if you’re the type that reads the financial pages, that can’t be good. From a gadget perspective, HTC’s been quite clear about who it blames: Apple.
There’s something about drop tests that makes me cringe slightly. Especially when it’s a really nice phone like the HTC One X. Just about everyone’s had that heart stopping moment when a smartphone accidentally tumbles out of your grasp and down to the ground. What happens when you do it deliberately?
That’s the HTC Titan II standing tall in the new Telstra consumer catalogue — teased as Australia’s first 4G Windows Phone…and arguably the best Win Phone this side of a Nokia; complete with 16-megapixel camera and 4.7-inch (480×800) display.
