HTC one x

The HTC One X is a touchscreen-based, slate-sized smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC. It runs the Android 4.1.1 mobile operating system with the HTC Sense 4+ graphical user interface. By date, it was the first HTC phone to be equipped with a quad-core processor and made it the fastest HTC phone to date.[8] The One X was announced on February 26, 2012 at the Mobile World Congress, and considered as a flagship product of HTC One series.



Software
The One X features the Android 4.0.4 mobile operating system with the HTC Sense 4.0 graphical user interface.[10] The upgrade to Android 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ is available for most regions like Europe, Middle East, the Americas, Somalia, and Australasia. 25 GB of Dropbox storage is offered free for two years.[11]
Some users have noticed that multitasking does not work on the HTC One X as it does in stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich since the system more aggressively terminates apps in the background. HTC has explained that they customized Android on the One X so that HTC Sense has priority over background apps when memory is low.[12][13]
On July 20, 2012, HTC confirmed that the One X, along with the One S, would be receiving a firmware update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, however did not announce a release schedule for these improvements.[14][15] By mid-November and early December, the Android 4.1.1 began rolling out world wide, bringing many new features and improvements such as the Google Now implementation, Project Butter giving it an overall smoother UI and battery optimizations which help improve battery life and to quell overheating.


Display
The One X features a 4.7-inch (120 mm) 1,280x720 pixel (RGB matrix) Super LCD 2 display, with a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch, covered by a single pane of Corning Gorilla Glass 2.0. In a review by The Verge, Chris Ziegler writes that the "One X's display is, without a hint of hyperbole, the best I've ever seen on a phone. Full stop. Seriously, I'm struggling to find fault with it in any way: it's got a near-perfect 180 degree viewing angle and perhaps the most accurate color reproduction and color temperature available".[16] Brent Rose of Gizmodo writes, "By the beard of Zeus, the screen! The 4.7-inch Super LCD2 is simply the best screen on a mobile device. Ever."[17] Myriam Joire of Engadget writes, "On the non-PenTile One X, colors seemed more natural and the whites were whiter than on AMOLED devices like the Galaxy Nexus.
