Annual Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona introduced many unbelievable Smartphones to the world. The leading manufactures were HTC, Samsung, LG etc. Out of the entire introduced products the Smartphone with strongest hardware muscle was HTC One X. Not only hardware, it came with lots of other innovative software improvement and accessories which make it an overall performer.
HTC is one of the very first companies that came in to Smartphone market. Their history goes back to few decades. They are not only producing handsets for Android OS, but for Windows Mobile OS as well. In the last year they were behind the other competitors such as LG and Samsung. With HTC One X they are back in the game.
Spotlight Features
Processor and Storage
HTC One X comes with 1.5 GHz Quad Core processer running on latest Nvidia Tegra3 chipset with 4-PLUS-1 technology. This chipset is a very popular choice of many Smartphone manufactures. It comes with ULP GeForce GPU which will give superb gaming performance.
The device comes with 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. However, according to many reports only 26 GB is available for user. Major drawback is that it doesn’t have any expandable memory option.
Display
The display is massive 4.7 inches with resolution 720 X 1280 pixels which make the pixel density 312 ppi. This is a true 720p HD display and would be great for HD video playback and gaming. The display technology used here is Super LCD 2. This is expected to be good competition to AMOLED display used in most of Samsung devices.
However If you consider the technological aspect AMOLED displays will always be better than LCD displays. They can show you the true deep black color with high contrast colors and saving power as well. The display technology used in HTC One X could be a minus point for this device in the market.
Operating System
Operating system is Android Ice Cream sandwich with HTC sense UI. If you compare HTC sense UI with Samsung TouchWiz UI you will definitely notice that HTC Sense is clearer, streamlined and performance optimized. So this will be a competitive advantage for this device.
HTC Media Link
This is the most attractive feature that comes with HTC One X. Using Wi-Fi device called HTC Media Link you can mirror the display with an externally attached display. To activate video mirroring there is a specific 3 finger gesture as well. This is a DLNA certified device so you should be able to couple this with other Android devices as well.
Wrap Up
HTC One X is of course a great device with powerful hardware, latest technology and Android ICS. Currently in the market there is no device that can compete with this. In addition HTC media link adds extra color to the device enabling lots of professional and gaming usage. HTC Sense UI is very popular among users and user experience would be amazing.
However, Samsung didn’t show their colors in the Mobile World Congress completely. That means they will come up with lot cooler Smartphones and Tablets soon in a Samsung Event. There are rumors about Samsung Galaxy S II as well. HTC One X will have to compete with them in the market, especially with advanced Samsung display which is the hook in any touch device.
No matter what HTC One X is ready for competition this year. With this specification and accessories there is a greater chance that it could be the “Best Smartphone in 2012” and take the crown away from Samsung Galaxy series.
