An image said to be that of the HTC One X |
Not that any other device might actually get its fair share of the spotlight away from the HTC One X. With its 4.7 inch 720p high-end display, NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of native memory, this device steals the spotlight away from other models. The 8MP camera on back captures video at 1080p, and the front-facing shooter allows you to snap self-portraits and engage in video chat. We probably should take the time to tell you that Android 4.0 is pre-installed with Sense 4.0 running on top of it. What is interesting is that the image appears to show the capacitive Android buttons on the bottom of the phone, which are not necessary to run Ice Cream Sandwich. Additionally, earlier leaks about the device mention that the HTC One X is supposed to be free of those capacitive buttons.
Now that we have what allegedly is a picture of the HTC One X, all we need is the mundane stuff like availability (where, when) and pricing information (how much) and we will probably be finding these things out this Sunday, the day before MWC 2012 opens.

It's not so much that it's boring. It's just that every little thing on the market already has a sense skin, so there isn't really a point into buying an HTC phone.

Thanks to golauncher I have not had to look at Sense for over a year on my EVO. A nice ICS theme completed the package and now you would hardly know the difference

WOW! Nice phone, but I'm wondering if Google will allow this phone to access the market without it running the Holo Theme as mentioned before by Google.

OEM's don't have to play be the same rules. They can create their UI's however thay want. The holo theme only applies to widget developers as far as I know.

Per Google, all Android devices running 4.0 ICS have to use the holo theme or not be able to access the market. Google is trying to get a handle on fragmentation and make updates more streamlined across all ICS devices going forward. It's a brilliant idea.

They can have their custom UIs on top f the Holo Theme.

It has the holo theme, if you have seen videos of sense 3.6/4 you can see that it does have holo in all of it's applications, holo is not a restriction to the look of the UI, its a restriction to the DESIGN of it.
What I'm wondering is what about the apps that still take use of the menu button is ICS and have not updated? will there be no access to menu or is it an optional button that turns on and off when needed

Title says it all. I like htcs design but how about something new? How about a phone made of hardwood? Marble? Graphite? Onyx? Carbon fiber? Sheepskin? Cashmere? Pewter even?
Now, those are premium materials.

Because the large majority of those aren't cheap, aluminium is.

Why can't HTC make a smartphone which will compete with Samsung Galaxy Series.

They are. This is probably meant to go more head to head with the SGS2 HD and the Note and Galaxy Nexus. You cant compare it against the SGS3 which doesnt have a single official spec or picture. Besides, thats still at least 5-6 months from launch, im sure HTC will bring something else out by then. :) As long as they bring this phone out sooner rather than later they dont have to worry about the SGS3. If they delay this thing until like may/june or so, then they might have to as people will hold off waiting for the SGS3... which would be a bad move.

I already see an error in that render.... there is no menu button :/ no menu + physical keys = disaster
9. bucky posted on 23 Feb 2012, 09:48 3 0
had the GNEX for a week before returning it. The on screen keys are what u call a disaster-all the do is take up screen real estate for nothing. Like my iphone copy sgs2 home button :D

well physical keys take real slate anyways, and what I mean is that if that the new menu buttons (Home Back And multi task) are meant for on screen buttons, in case an app uses menu, a menu button will show until the app is adapted to the new ICS theme

also what you disliked about it? just curious i plan on buying a Gnex anyways but I always love feedback (good or bad) yours is proly the Verizon one
there is a mod I'm looking forward to

maybe Google takes the cue and set something similar on a update (maybe a 'beta' feature user can enable)

I love the on screen keys. Besides, with the latest AOKP rom by pressing the power button you can hide/show them. It's schweet.

maybe someone implements a swipe gesture to toggle it

That would be awesome. I just upgraded to Nova Launcher prime so I can now swipe to hide my notification bar... I'm sure they will add it for the nav keys.

i do believe the button in the bottom right is the menu button proto.
