The HTC One VX’s announcement didn’t turn many heads last week. On paper, it looks like many other mid-end devices that strive to be almost high-end. I must say, though, that I have grown very fond of the device after playing around with it here at MobileCON in San Diego.
This affordable smartphone comes to compete straight with the Motorola DROID RAZR M, which is known for being an amazing choice for the mid-tier smartphone market. But I feel like HTC has taken things up a notch by bringing that great build quality they are known for. The device is solid and thin, but has a certain weight that makes it feel strong in your hand.
Much like the Amaze 4G, this device just feels like it will never break. The back is made out of the same rubberized polycarbonate that you find in the HTC One X, and the edges of the phone and the bezel being aluminum.
The 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Plus processor and 1 GB of RAM make this device very fast. It almost doesn’t feel like a “mid-end” device. Especially considering it is running Android 4.0 and not taking advantage of any of Jelly Bean’s improvements.
But an affordable phone must have its downsides, right? And it does, though they are not the worst ones we could have. While the Super LCD 2 display brings good viewing angles and vibrant colors, this screen only has a qHD resolution (540×960). It is noticeable, especially in a rather large 4.5-inch display. Or if you have been spoiled with a 720p HD screen.
The cameras are also not as great as they could be (5 MP / 0.3 MP), but if you can look through those small discrepancies and want an affordable device without sacrificing much, I would say this is it. Check out the video and let us know what you think in the comments!
“Hands-one.” If the pun was unintentional it makes it even better.
Argh, id be fine if this was a 4″ device with qHD res, but not 4.5″…
There seems to be always a catch in a good phone!
What ever happened to HTC only releasing one premium device a year? There’s like five One X’s now
Pay attention Jimmy…. ATT -one x, Sprint-EVO 4g LTE, tmo- one s and Verizon- Droid Inc 4G. That’s only 4 devices this so far. I think you have Samsung with their 36 different galaxies confessed with htc.
And there’s the one x+ and now this. So its actually 6 devices. Samsung never said they were going to limit their devices so they don’t saturate the market. HTC did.
But there is just One Galaxy S 3 . Not a Galaxy S 3X 3I 3+ etc etc
I wonder if this lands at virgin mobile…
will jellybean 4.0 work on att htc one x?
