HTC One X

HTC One X

Introduction

• Strong, durable, resistant polycarbonate unibody casing
  The HTC One X features an aesthetically stunning polycarbonate unibody at 8.9mm thick, which is lightweight yet sturdy. The body is also resistant to scratches and stains.
• Optimal use of screen estate space
  HTC One X’s display is a full 4.7 inch contoured Gorilla Glass super LCD 2 display with a 720p HD resolution, and optical lamination, for wider viewing angles and reduced reflections to improve visibility in the day time.
• Swift, mighty and reliable quad-core performance
  Powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, the HTC One X delivers unparalleled performance unlike any other HTC phones. You will enjoy rapid response time, whether it is for gaming, web browsing or downloading videos. The quad-core architecture enables four performance cores to be used for maximum burst when needed, with each core enabled and disabled independently and automatically based on workload. The single battery-saver core (or companion core) handles low-powered tasks like active standby, music, and video, and is transparent to the OS and applications. That way, the phone is power-efficient and battery life is improved substantially.
• Capture every memorable moment in a blink of an eye
  Revel in the ease and speed – activate the camera almost instantaneously in 0.7 seconds and auto-focus in 0.2 seconds – and never miss the opportunity to get a good photo again. With a superb 8.0 megapixels camera and 28mm F2.0 lens, coupled with the HTC ImageSense, which has HTC Smart Flash, amazing photos can be taken even in low light environment effortlessly. Long press the shutter button and take up to 99 continuous shots at 4 frames per second. You can also record HD video and snap photos at the same time, just by hitting the shutter button. Slow motion video recording is also possible at 108 frames per second.
• The sound of good
  Beats Audio Technology is now integrated into the hardware and software of the HTC One X, enabled across all applications to offer professional-grade sound engineering, and custom tuned every single time to deliver the best audio performance. You can be watching a music video on YouTube, streaming online music, or playing a game downloaded from Google Play, and the sounds you hear will be authentic studio quality sound, optimised to be rich, dynamic and clear. Hear every instrument, every voice, and every harmony, culminating into a sweet sound, glorious to one’s ears.
• Easy connect, easy sync, easy access
  The HTC Sync Manager software, built-in to the HTC One X makes it easy for you to transfer songs, albums and playlists from your music library, wired or wirelessly, as you prefer. It is also compatible on all Mac and PC devices, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re using iTunes or Windows Media Player to manage your music files. With the new HTC Music Centre, you can also customise and add all your favourite music apps as shortcuts in one single location, so that all your music needs are easily accessible.
• Cast it on screen with the HD Media Link HD
  With the HTC Media Link HD accessory, you can enjoy your favourite movie, play your favourite game or even give an important business presentation, on a TV Screen with a HDMI input, all with an easy three-fingers swipe. Depending on the task your HTC One X is performing, the Media Link HD enables the TV Screen to function either like an extended desktop, or a mirror site to your HTC One X, so you get to enjoy high definition quality content wirelessly anywhere.
• Finest, cleanest and most intuitive mobile experience
  The HTC One X is one of the first HTC phones on HTC Sense 4. Preserving the basics and tailored to complement Android on Ice Cream Sandwich, HTC Sense 4 is designed to be simple and intuitive for a better user experience.
