For me the bad reviews simply incomprehensible, but some people do it for a hobby so to seek error on a device, to represent it bad. The HTC One X is one of the best Smaortphones currently on the market & that do not say "only" I, but also the Connect & the Chip & many other journals. Like any smart phone, it has of course his demand & benefits that are still acceptable, especially since his new HTC flagship repeatedly supplied with updates improve the performance and battery life constantly! I have the One X since it appeared at that time is and therefore could also follow the progress it has made so far. Through the recently released Android & HTC Sense update performance is now even a hint about the level of the highly acclaimed Samsung Galaxy S3 & it looks like the phone has still not shown its full strength, so that it continues to catapult to the top!
For me, the HTC One X is a strong buy recommendation.
