In the smartphone scene, the HTC One X remains as one of the most capable handsets currently available in the market today. It gained its popularity back in the latter part of 2012 when it got leaked out as the HTC Edge which has the distinction of being the world’s first smartphone to come with a quad-core processor under the hood. Back then, other manufacturers were still drawing up plans to come up with quad-core powered handsets but HTC beat them all to the punch. The handset went through a couple of name changes and was finally announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February as the HTC One X.
The HTC One X is on sale now starting at 99.99.
If you are familiar with HTC devices, you are definitely aware of the fact that its Android operating system is overlaid with HTC Sense, the manufacturer’s custom user interface. Some love it, others hate it. If you happen to belong to the latter and want some nice customization options on your handset via custom ROMs, you will be interested to know that the CyanogenMod Team has already released a CyanogenMod 9 Nightly build for the handset.
With this in play, the users of the HTC One X now have access to a custom ROM based on AOSP to replace the stock Android-HTC Sense experience that came along with the handset. Although these nightlies are not really properly tested and at times unstable, there are certain nightly builds that are stable enough to be used as a daily driver and we sincerely hope that this nightly build for the HTC One X 4G is as stable as it can get. If you happen to be brave ad adventurous and never gave too much importance to your handset’s warranty, you can already go ahead and download the pertinent files and start flashing to your heart’s contents.
As for the HTC One X, the handset is joined by the Samsung Galaxy S III, another quad-core beast, at the top of the smartphone leaderboards and the cutthroat competition between the two has become more intense. Released by AT&T in US shores as the HTC One X 4G back in May, the handset went on and became one of the more popular devices in the lineup of the wireless provider – this despite the fact that AT&T’s variant of the handset only comes with a dual-core processor.
Under the hood, the components lurking in the internals of the HTC One X 4G are a impressive as they can get. The handset packs a QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset and this brings into play a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor working in conjunction with a full gigabyte of RAM. The handset has an internal memory pegged at 16GB while its display is a 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD2 panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Its camera department is just as capable with the HTC One X 4G’s rear 8MP shooter and front 1.3MP snapper.
