The first undoubted plus of the One X is the power that eminates from the processing.  With the first quad-core processor to be included in a smartphone, the One X operates with a true smoothness that really can’t be matched by anything outside of the tablet market.  Whether you’re viewing the latest YouTube videos or reading up on your e-books, there is a fluidity in operation here that really can’t be matched.

Secondly, the new integration of Beats technology is almost illegally exciting.  With doctor Dre’s headphones to be found on every third head in the UK and the US, the inclusion of a pair with every One X is a seriously big deal.  What’s even cooler is the integration of the technology, meaning that with the press of a button, the sound going through the headphones is instantly improved tenfold.  It’s a superb feature, and one that will make the One X an instant favorite amongst audiophiles.

The screen is also excellent: quite possibly the finest one we’ve seen on a mobile device thus far in terms of clarity and life-like display.  At 4.7 inches, it’s a whopper in terms of mobile screens, using a 720p display in order to make it’s presence felt.  Whilst it doesn’t quite have the same beautiful color display of the AMOLED screens that are favored by Samsung, its clarity is well worth the slight sacrifice.

Are there flaws?  Well, yes, there are.  Firstly, the lack of removable storage (what I like to call ‘the Apple sin’) is a real bugbear.  Essentially, this leaves you completely stuck with what you’ve got, and rules out the smaller HD models for anyone who likes to keep movies and music on their phones.  Bad show indeed.

Overall, though, it seems hard to argue with the HTC One X.  As long as you’re able to get around it’s fairly substantial bulk (that screen size comes at a cost), it’s a superb, sleek and easy-to-use piece of technology.  Good work.

For a while now we have all been wondering what HTC had in store for this year. There have been a few announcements in the first few months of 2011, including the recent news that they will soon bring out their first tablet computer but it is smart phone news we want though and few will be disappointed to hear that HTC have announced the release of a new, high end smart phone, the HTC Sensation.

This new phone will head HTC’s summer catalogue of phones and it looks as if it could be a beauty.  The Sensation has a dual core, 1.2GHz processor which apparently runs apps and widgets twice as fast as previous HTC smart phones and will mean that you can multitask without your phone annoyingly slowing down to the speed of an anemic snail.

HTC Europe boss Florian Seiche has been trumpeting the media aspects of his phone as HTC joins the growing list of manufacturers to focus on this area, saying: ‘Video, gaming and reading books have become more popular with consumers, turning their smartphones into pocket-sized multimedia centres, new superphones have to be designed with that new reality in mind.

A new feature that falls into this multimedia category will be the HTC Watch app which will allow you to download and stream movies to your phone and watch them wherever you want. Pretty great stuff really and we will see in May, when the phone hits UK stores, whether customers will respond to it positively.

Yes the Fast Boot is enabled with software not the hardware. Hackers have successfully ported the new Sense UI ROM from Desire HD to the previous Droid Incredible and were able to introduce the Fast Boot technology.

Droid-Life have just flashed the ROM on his Incredible to show really how fast the booting time is which was achieved from an older device. Apparently the phone does not power’s off itself completely but it places itself in somewhat Sleep mode which helps the quick boot in action.
