HTC One. X10 is a clear representative of the budgetary category, which hoses its price and simple characteristics, which can hardly be impressed - only 3 GB of RAM and a weak processor MediaTek Helio P10. At the same time, a 5.5-inch display with FullHD resolution is present in the smartphone, a good 16 MP Main Camera and the main thing - a battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, which, taking into account the remaining characteristics, it allows you to count on a decent time autonomous work. Let's spend an overview of the HTC One X10 and see how the model will behave in real use. And yes, I almost forgot about one of key features Device. It uses diffuse painting of the body, penetrating metal deep. It not only looks beautiful, but also protects the smartphone from the appearance of scratches and other defects.

The manufacturer uses a unified approach to the design of packaging design of its technology - this is a square-shaped cardboard box equipped with rounded corners. Only a corporate logo, it is banging on her face, and the main technical characteristics of HTC One X10 are placed behind. The top cover of the box never wanted to blind, the packaging of HTC smartphones continues to be uncomfortable.

HTC One X10 Review showed that the kit besides the smartphone itself, contains the following items: charger (5V / 2A), clip fixed on a cardboard folder with documentation. Included and headset, but it is inconvenient to use it, therefore there is no particular sense in such generosity. These are subsidiary headphones without rubber nozzles. In addition to everything, the MicroUSB cable goes.

Externally, the body is particularly not for what to praise - it is made high quality and gently, but without style. All design elements turned out to be large, and the side frame in tribute to the old traditions made shiny. Taking into account the fact that all other surfaces of the matte housing, it looks not to the place and gives cheapness. If this approach still expects from a little-known Chinese brand, then for HTC an unforgivable error, especially since the device is not suiced.

But the design is not annoying, just does not boast anything special. Something even reminds Meizu smartphones, much more than past solutions of the Taiwanese manufacturer. The ends of the housing are made of plastic and this is at a price of about 20,000 rubles on official sale. This is a huge drawback, because there are not so few state employees in the price category up to 10-15 thousand rubles that can boast a wholesale or glass case.

As for the diagonal of 5.5 inches, the smartphone turned out to be quite large and massive. Its screen takes 72.38% of the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe front panel. The side indents make up 4 mm, but on top and bottom they are even more. HTC One X10 smartphone Review showed that in his hand it lies comfortably and does not strive to slip out thanks to matte surfaces. All angles are rounded, which improves ergonomics.

On the back side there is a single camera, a two-section flash and just below the fingerprint scanner. Camera rim is towers over the case, which saves the sensor from damage. But due to such a design, the smartphone swings when it lies the back on the table. The playground of the fingerprint scanner on the contrary is recessed into the housing, which makes it easier to find it blindly. In the center of the cover is a corporate logo, and plastic strips under the antenna pass in the upper and lower part.

If we talk about a dactyloscopic sensor, then I showed the HTC One X10 Black Review, it triggers quickly and does not allow recognition errors. The finger can be brought under any angle, and a total of 5 different fingerprints can be added to the system.

The front of the device covers safety glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with rounded edges. Over the display, we see the familiar set of sensors, front and LED notification indicator.

Space from below occupy three navigation keys. Fortunately, they did not save on them, so we rejoice in the presence of backlight. But lovers customize their device awaits disappointment - a certain pictogram is highlighted under each key, in connection with which it will be impossible to change their location and change the functionality will not be possible. Now, many will look at a similar decision of the SPOS, because the era of beamless devices is coming when everything goes to the use of the onscreen keys and make the lower chin as narrow as possible.

The external speaker was located on the bottom face. Near him allocated a place for the main microphone and the microUSB port with support for connecting accessories through the OTG adapter. It can be used not only as an external storage, but also recharge the connected devices.

HTC One X10 Review showed that from above, as we have already accustomed, there is a 3.5 mm connector and a barely noticeable hole for an additional microphone.

On the right installed the volume control keys and power. They have a distinct move and are easily in touch due to large size. In addition, the power button contains special notches, so that you do not confuse it with the volume swing.

On the left side of the housing, there is a hybrid slot in which you can install two SIM cards or one pair with microSD.

The quality of the assembly is at the highest level, which is waiting for the manufacturer of this scale. There are two options for the enforcement of the case - black or light silver.

Display smartphone

The smartphone has a 5.5-inch IPS display, which covers 2,5d protective glass. It works under fullHD resolution, which gives 401 pixel per inch. The result is excellent, we get a juicy and well-detailed image. The side indents in the width reach 4 mm, and all 16 mm occupy from above and below. With the initial settings, multitouch recognizes only two simultaneous touchs, then this moment can be fixed by removing the appropriate check mark, and then 10 will be available.

The maximum brightness level is set at 450 kD / m2, which is sufficient for any use scenarios. Contrast is 980: 1. HTC One X10 DS Review showed that the screen has the maximum viewing angles, but a strong tilt loses contrast. The factory calibration is rejoiced, which does not occur to correct in the settings.

HTC ONE X10 performance

HTC One X10 Characteristics are built on the MEDIATEK MT6755 budget processor (Helio P10). It was designed according to the 28-nm technical process, which clearly do not attach advantage of the advantage. As a result, he does not spare battery charge. His structure includes 8 cores with a frequency of up to 1.95 GHz. As a graphics accelerator, GPU Mali-T860 was selected, and complement the overall picture of 3 GB of operational and 32 GB of user memory. After switching on, only 23 GB and 1.3 GB of RAM remains available. Without using a memory card will not do. Well, or as alternative option - immediately discharge all the photos to the cloud storage.

HTC One X10 Test in Antutu

Helio P10 is a popular average price segment, which should not be expected by the wonders of performance. In terms of performance, it will be a little worse than Snapdragon 625 and is approximately on the same level with Snapdragon 430. Even at the same time, the HTC One X10 Black smartphone showed that it can easily pull all the games, the only thing that many go only on a low schedule.

Wireless communications

HTC One X10 Dual Sim Review shows that the smartphone has received support for LTE Cat.6 with download speed within 300 MB / s. Among them are three ranges - 3, 7 and 20, which are used in Russia, which means there will be no problems with the quality of communication in our country. Wi-Fi 2.5 is supported, as well as 5 GHz, bluetooth 4.2, GPS and GLONASS. But the NFC module is missing that many grieves. Cold start takes about 20 seconds, repeated connections occur instantly. The quality of location was pleasantly surprised.

HTC One X10 Interface and Smartphone Multimedia Features

HTC One X10 DS 32 GB Browse showed that the HTC Sense is used on the phone, based on the Android 6 generation. Fans of the brand are well acquainted with the interface - it is very different from traditional Chinese shells with its minimalism. It has only everything you need for the user, everything is most simple and convenient to use. But this approach will not like everyone, since there is no ability to control gestures, the settings go to one list without splitting into partitions, the functionality of the navigation keys is not subject to configuration. But here there is the possibility of changing the dimensional application grid, and some of them can be hung from outsiders.

HTC ONE X10 phone

A battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh allows you to count on a decent time of autonomous work. Although, with real testing, the battery showed itself weakly, from such a capacious battery you expect much more. On average, the smartphone lives calmly until the evening, but the next day the remaining charge will not be enough, so it has to be put on charging.

HTC One X10 Review in Russian Means with the results of battery testing:

• When reading on the minimum brightness, the smartphone climbed around 17 hours;
• In the mode of continuous playback of video as 720p on the same brightness, it ruled 12 hours;
• In games, autonomy was a little less than 5 hours, but here a lot depends on the game itself.

HTC One X10 Dual Sim Silver is charged for 2 hours 50 minutes when using a complete charger with parameters 1.8A / 5B. No support for fast and wireless charging technology.

Camera Overview HTC One X10 Dual SIM

The main chamber has a resolution of 16 megapixel, and its light is f / 2.0. In addition to its capabilities there is a phase autofocus and a powerful two-section flash. The frontier is slightly modest - a single module with a resolution of 8 megapixel. Taking into account its price category, photographs HTC One X10 DS 32 GB is quite worthy. Objects in the frame are drawn perfectly, but they have a yellowness. The benefits of daylight photos can be attributed to the minimum number of noise, as for a state employee, they are excellent. Autofocus works quickly and accurately, and for more users, a separate scale of exposure settings is provided.

As the coverage conditions deteriorates, it makes it necessary to know the problems familiar to each owner of the budget device - the detailing, sharply and saturation falls. The frame is obtained with an abundance of noise. At the same time, natural color reserves remain, and in general the quality of the pictures can be called satisfactory. If you like to coat with manual settings, then the exposure can be set only within 2 seconds.

If we talk about the front, then during the review, it was possible to get a good photo with a wide viewing angle.

The video is saved in fullhd quality. Benefits should include quick focus, but the quality of the record is not higher than the average and typically for a state employee. In the perimeter of the case, 3 microphones were installed, due to which the sound is written to high-quality and volumetric.

Output

HTC One X10 is a smartphone that boasts a stylish design and high quality assembly. He has no obvious drawbacks, in any case I could not find them as part of the review. Yes, he has a weak productivity in games and autonomy, but in its price category it is no worse than competitors. Among the main advantages are a high-quality screen and a camera for which during the day you can get great pictures.

If the company did not delay with the release of new items, it would be worthwhile to be a great success, but now the smartphone is not so relevant and is not allocated on the background of the mass of the same type of state employees. For its price, you can find a lot of interesting options from manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Therefore, the device is designed primarily at those who are afraid of the acquisition of the Chinese smartphone and are ready to overpay a little for quality.

Subscribe to our Zen Channel, there you are waiting for a lot of interesting things.

HTC One X, Asus Transformer Prime

As you can see, with the arrival of One x, the Prime departure came the end. In some tests, the difference is almost 25%. So what to make ordinary users with such performance? Wait and believe that the time will come when you say to yourself: "Yes, now I begin to understand why a pocket device is so many cores." In the meantime, rejoice in what is cooler only those who will appear not soon.

Given this power, expecting pleasant surprises from the time of work does not have to. Nevertheless, they are. Of course, it was not possible to achieve a significant increase in working time, but taking into account the display and processor, expect much more modest indicators.

Video

Bravo! HTC smartphones have learned to play video in any container and with any codec. All test rollers started and played. The exception was the Spartacus file in the MKV container. The video worked without jerks, but with dolby Sound AC3 has problems. To be more accurate, it is simply not reproduced. But with this task without problems managed by Google Play. Third-party video players. So in this category ONE X gets an extra plus.

Music

Here you want to be as objective as possible, but adhere to neutrality oh how not just. Everyone who is in thought " buy / don't buy"We advise you to take your favorite headphones and go to the store to listen to music from HTC One X. All your doubts differ literally from the first seconds.

Sanding pills from such positive impressions will not have anything for the absence of manual equalizer settings, but if you are not pre-installed enough, you can always use a specialized application.

Display

This model has become the first HTC smartphone equipped with a resolution with a resolution of 1280x720 points. The diagonal of the matrix is \u200b\u200b4.7 ". Brightness parameters are in the range of 12-335 kD / m². Thanks to the use of a new generation of tempered glass - Gorilla Glass 2, as well as the absence of an air layer between it and the display, the picture quality is one of the best among the devices presented in the market. Under quality, we mean the viewing angles, smoothness of the image, natural color reproduction.

As they declare in HTC, the ONE X installed the Super IPS matrix. In principle, other smartphones of this brand never suffered from poor-quality displays, but with the appearance of One X it is quite recommended as an alternative to those installed in Apple iPhone. 4 / 4S Reference Retina-Display.

On the this moment The smartphone market with HD displays is at the beginning of its development. The first available wide range of users has become a smartphone equipped with a display with a tablet resolution of 1280x800 points. SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS appeared on him. Both of these smartphones although there are high-definition displays, not everyone will like their color rendition. The HTC One X display became the first with HD-resolution among liquid crystal matrices manufactured using IPS technology, famous for good viewing angles, natural color reproduction and RGB filter. The Samsung's AMOLED displays use Pentile technology, where the pixel consists of four elements: red, green, blue, green. This makes them far from the best in the parameter of the nature of the transfer of colors, but gives them an advantage in the form of reduced energy consumption. We have visited the Sony Xperia S smartphone with us, equipped with a filter display containing four photosensitive elements. Only unlike the above displays, in the Sony Matrix the fourth element is not green, but a white photodiode. Since in nature there is no pure white color in order to realize it in a liquid crystal display also had to go for some tricks. As a result, the theoretically, the Sony Xperia S display should be the most bright, because to display any of the main colors, not only the corresponding light element is used, but also the "white companion" is not covered with a RGB filter, additionally transmitting ¼ of light.

Camera

If you believe advertising, and sometimes it really wants this, HTC managed to create a unique cameraphone, which at least should be better than those we have met earlier. This is convinced when you start taking pictures and shoot a video with it. A huge number of settings and effects, turn the entire process into solid pleasure. Positive emotions are even more enhanced when viewing results on a magnificent screen. But it is worth opening the photo of the photo on the monitor, as the collessing comes. Yes, for HTC, it is definitely a breakthrough, but this is still not enough to compete with the leaders in the face of Apple iPhone 4s, Samsung Galaxy Sii and Galaxy Note.. If you evaluate the quality of the photo and video along a ten-ball scale, the smartphone deserves estimates 7. Partly this contributes to the presence large number additional settingsWhat if you compare with ascetic iPhone, just Manna Heavenly. Adds pluses and shooting speed, the ability to get a photo during video recording process and, in fact, recycled interface. Although all this, with the exception of saving the individual image file when recording video, it is already implemented or will be implemented in devices of other brands.

Therefore, HTC One X can be put into a row with the best cameraphones, but it is not capable of surpassing.

On the left - the usual photo, right - using a HDR filter

Left - minimal sharpness, right - maximum sharpness

On the left - the usual photo, in the middle - with the maximum sharpness, right - the maximum sharpness and by +1 to saturation, contrast, exposure

RESULTS

Extreme sound, extreme performance, extreme interface - anything, but not the camera. Why in HTC decided to focus on this part ONE X is not clear. Apparently they, as gradually, and I begin to realize that the quality is only part of the component of a successful frame. Of course, we are not talking about something level LG Optimus L3. Everything is much better here, just not even enough to say: "Wow! It is fantastic". But what pleased, it is a huge number of settings that allow you to take photos more attractive.
In the dry residue, we have the best Android-smartphone capable of satisfying everything within the reasonable, owner's needs. The recommended cost of HTC One X is 6500 hryvnia. For this money, you can purchase any smartphone with a HD display, ranging from Samsung Galaxy Nexus and ending with just released Sony Xperia S, but we give our vote for HTC One X. It is endowed with everything you need to wear the title of the best.

In 2012, the NTS company introduced the world a new one for himself a line of smartphones ONE. The company took into account all the shortcomings that were associated with Desire and Incredible, and put three new smartphones at the bottom. Among them was one flagship - HTC One X, whose characteristics were designed to compile Galaxy S3 competition from Samsung's company, that he, in principle, did at a fairly high level. The phone, like the entire line of new smartphones, was recognized as one of the most successful models of 2012. On the wave of this success, the company from Taiwan has tried to consolidate success, so in subsequent years it was possible to observe the emergence of more and more interesting models from HTC.

Ergometric features of the smartphone

You should start a review of this smartphone with the fact that it is very conveniently "sits" in hand, and the sensations that the panel matte surface transmits are very pleasant. It should be noted that the telephone is monolithic, so when it does not have any backlash, which were possible on other models of this company. In general, the company has made a very serious application, releaseing X. The characteristics of the external state of the phone speak a lot. What is just using as glass on the screen in order to avoid unwanted scratches!

If you look at the front of the phone, then in the upper part it can be noted a speaker for a conversation and a chamber that can be used only in offline mode as a mirror. On the bottom of the screen there are 4 buttons: "Home", "Back" and "Task Manager". On the right end part of the smartphone, you can detect the sound volume control, and on the top - the power button, as well as the holes for the SIM card and headphones. With the left end of the smartphone there is a hole for USB devices. If you flip the smartphone, you can detect the camera in 8 megapixel. The smartphone itself can be two colors: black or white. If you choose a white version, the camera edging will be silver, if black is red.

Characteristics of the technology used in HTC One X

The characteristics of this phone are such that it is one of the first smartphones, which began to use a quad-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. Another plus of this smartphone is its screen. In addition, HTC One X boasts a gigabyut of RAM. Of course, this may seem a little, but enough "heavy" games this phone Loads quite simple. Only a 1800 mAh battery can be called the only disadvantage in the device, and that is the reason that it is non-removable and cannot be replaced by more capacious. There may also be problems if the battery fails and it will have to be changed.

Operational and software

As operating system HTC could put and Windows Phone, because we know that they practiced the use of this operating system in the past. But today at HTC One X is "Android" 4.0 with the possibility of subsequent update to version 4.2. Very good is the HTC Sense program, which gives the standard Android interface identity. As additional functions that are new compared to previous phones, you can highlight the possibility of unlocking the phone only when your face is coincided.

Camera and quality of smartphone pictures

HTC One X, characteristics, price

Acquired flagship smartphone 2012 from Taiwan manufacturer of high-tech NTS phones, you will get a few more additional elements. First, this is a branded box, the design of which was updated. It does not have pointed corners. Secondly, it's all that can help you, if any questions arose about how to use a smartphone. Thirdly, this is a charger, which is better not to pull out of your pocket and always carry with you, as the phone can be discharged very quickly. Fourth, this is a USB adapter that is designed to connect a smartphone to a computer in order to transfer any files or to configure through connectivity. Well, finally, fifthly, these are branded headphones from the NTS. There is nothing special in them, so if you are Meloman, then it is better to immediately buy yourself an extra better version of this headset.

As for prices for this smartphone, then initially after the announcement he cost about $ 700. Gradually, it is cheaper, and by now this smartphone can be quietly acquired for 350-400 US dollars.

Review results

Summing up all of the above, it can be concluded that this phone is a very interesting option and will be quite relevant even in our days. The advantages of the smartphone, the developer of which is the Taiwanese manufacturer of high-tech NTS smartphones, can be attributed to its amazing ergonomics, a large screen and a magnificent sound. Moreover, the last plus is merit not only by the company itself, but also partners who are trying to make the sound with each new line of smartphones and more saturated and pleasant. As the minuses of this smartphone, you can call the battery and the chamber. Moreover, the battery should be mentioned for two reasons. The first is that it is quickly discharged, and the second is that it cannot be changed without assistance. As for the camera, everything is ambiguous here.

In general, the smartphone is excellent, but if you want something more new, you can take HTC One M7. Description, characteristics and reviews about this model are suggested that this is a high-class smartphone.

Launched on sale last spring did not become a revelation. Alas, bad optimization of the filling played a key role, which did not allow the device to compete with Samsung Galaxy S III, although there were all the prerequisites. However, new firmware was published regularly, the smartphone began to work faster, heated less and live more from the battery. It is a pity that he appeared so not immediately, it would certainly have affected the company's financial indicators.

At the end of 2012, HTC presented an upgraded version of its top model. She received a "discern" to 1.7 GHz processor on the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip 3, 64 GB of internal memory, a slightly modified design, and at the same time the updated version of the software. In addition, there are no more problems here, which met the first Customers of HTC One X, so the device initially looks more interesting and more attractive for purchase.

Design

Smartphone exactly repeats HTC One X and, which appeared earlier. Some features are available, but those who are not very sacrificed in mobile devices, it is unlikely that the first time will understand that in front of them the most functional representative of the One line.

According to the standards of the world of mobile devices, one year on the market is a decent age for any smartphone when it becomes clear how lucky the designer idea was. Even after such a significant period of the One X + form time, it looks attractive, among the top smartphones it is one of the most pretty devices.

If a polycarbonate was previously used with a smooth texture, now the grungy plastic came to shift. It is noticeable, especially if it is possible to touch both smartphones.

The dimensions did not change at all, the numbers remained the same - this is 134.4x69.8x8.9 mm, the weight of 135. The design of the monolithic, any removable parts are missing, except for a tray for a microSIM card, which is removed using a special tool that attached included.

The sidewalls turned out a bit wound, they allow you to comfortably grasp the smartphone during a conversation or working with the device. Here is a flat screen, but due to the cutout on the sides, it seems that it is convex. Beautiful, interesting designer reception.

At the top of the front panel are the holes of the spoken speaker, which are done directly in the case frame. The right is the front camera. Here are the light and approximation sensors, as well as the LED indicator to notify the events.

For management serve three touch buttons: back, home, task dispatcher. The place for them is chosen convenient, you can normally reach everything. There is a backlight, which is always visible, can also work vibration when touched. Interestingly, the buttons are highlighted in red, as we have already seen from Sensation Xe.

On the lower end there is a microphone.

The second is brought to the top end, where 3.5 mm, the output for headphones is at the same time and a convenient screen lock button.

Behind the compartment for Microsim. She puts into a special tray that is reliably fixed in the depths of the housings, it will be easy to fall asleep.

On the left comes out the microUSB port for cable and charging. You can connect an HDMI cable to display an image to a large screen if you buy a special adapter.

On the right, a large and comfortable rudder of volume adjustment with a great move.

The design of the rear surface is pretty simple. At the top there is an 8-MP camera lens, inscribed in a silver protruding frame, in which there was a place for the flash. At the bottom of the dynamics openings, and the right to special contacts that serve to communicate with the docking station, which can be purchased separately.

Screen

The smartphone has a Super LCD 2 display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels with a diagonal of 4.7 inches, the pixel density is 312 PPI. In the sun, the image remains readable, although fades in reasonable limits.

The permission is "honest", no pentile is not here, so the picture is better than in other models with HD screens released earlier. I liked the picture with my natural paints, a large margin in brightness, contrast level and viewing angles. If the black color was displayed as good as in Superamoled, it would be just perfect. The air layer between the screen and the glass is absent, so the image is obtained very pleasant to the eyes.

To protect the surface, the Gorilla Glass Glass glass is used, there is a oleophobic coating. The automatic brightness adjustment sensor works well, as well as the approximation sensor, blocking the screen during the conversation.

Filling

The role of the processor is NVIDIA Tegra 3, which turned out to be an ambiguous decision, as practice has shown. First oNE firmware X heavily heated, slowed down, worked little - the best discharge was tormented by the owners of the smartphone. Subsequently, software defaults were compensated by updates, but negative responses have significantly affected the reputation of the model. One X + behaves well, from noticeable phenomena, you can note only a decent heating of the back of the case, if you actively use mobile Internet. However, it meets from other models. In general, the situation is good and if the devices of the first generation immediately went to the market as such, probably the company's financial performance turned out to be so sad.

As for the technical characteristics, they are as follows. Here is a quad-core processor with an "economical" fifth core, the frequency is increased to 1.7 GHz. 1 GB of RAM is available, 64 GB are built-in. Such an array occurs infrequently, I think it will be enough for an excess to any user. Everything works quickly, the tests in the tests are also high. The model received more recently android version 4.1.1 as well as Sense 4+.

Interface

At the top of the screen is the service line where the time is displayed, the battery charge, the signal receipt indicator. There are also active connections and other data. By clicking on the string, you will learn which programs have been downloaded, what messages and letters are received or what files are taken by Bluetooth.

HTC has created many beautiful and functional widgets. Each function has several decoration styles, such as clocks or weather. You can choose between sizes, picking up comfortable for yourself. Each of the working zones can be placed several widgets, it all depends on their size.

In total, seven desktops are obtained here, and if you like minimalism, then they decrease to one. Scroll between them smooth, no delay, no cyclical scrolling.

As before, HTC pays great attention to the personalization of the smartphone. To do this, a separate setting section is highlighted where you can select the plot of design, cover, set the background pattern. Pictures can serve any images from the device's memory, including animated "live" wallpapers. The base equipment includes covers and plots, and when it wants something new, then you can visit the corporate store, where it is easy to find a stylish design.

The lock screen saved all its functionality: the name of the operator, time and date is displayed. Below - four icons under which the metal ring is located, more precisely part of it. It is worth pulling the virtual part up, as the display will be unlocked. Another lock screen can be decorated in several ways. Various multimedia data is displayed on it: background drawing, notifications, pictures from the photo album, messages from social networks, weather, share course, contacts or hours. Any of these eight listed applications is complemented by animation, it looks beautiful.

The menu consists of icons of applications that are built in alphabetical order. On one screen, 20 icons are displayed, zones with labels are leaving left or right with smooth animation. Also included sorting by date: the newest or oldest are selected as a priority to form a list. Separate buttons allocated independently software installed and frequently used applications. The top tab helps contact the parameters, search functions and transition to the application store.

The selected key starts the menu of running tasks, which are displayed in the form of miniature open windows.

This includes different types phone numbers, email addresses, fast communication tools (AIM, ICQ, GTalk, Skype and others), accommodation addresses and other information (nickname, birthday, which is automatically added to the calendar, a note). The search for contacts according to the first letters of the name or surname.

By clicking on the site set as a picture for the subscriber, you will run the quick menu, with which the message is sent, mail, and also takes phone call Selected face. You can also contact him using contact data from social networks. Rooms can be distributed across various groups that are specified by an individual signal.

Calls

Directly from the phone book has access to the call log - it is highlighted by a separate tab. There, a single list is the dialed numbers, accepted and missed calls. All telephone conversations fall into one list, where they are not grouped if several calls were made on the same number. Here you can withdraw only incoming, outgoing or missed calls.

The set of the number is carried out using convenient virtual keyboard. Looking through the history of calls, you can not only make telephone call With the selected subscriber, but also send him an SMS or an email from this list without moving to another menu. During the input of the number, the phone is automatically suitable contacts, selecting numbers saved in its memory or cycling search by name. There is a phone fast setYou can assign to 8 numbers to 8 numbers.

Messages and mail

Rollers are created in MP4 format with stereo sound, autofocus works, and you can also photograph when recording a video without interrupting this process.

The quality of the shooting is excellent, the camera shows well in various conditions, but to see the significant differences from One X or One XL will not work here.

Player

Opening the player that stands out in the bright red icon menu, you will see several icons. The first of them leads to the player itself. Also here is the Soundhound program, Internet radio Tunein and 7digital, which leads to the music store. Excess labels are deleted from here, and new menu is added. Thus, a separate group of all connected with the sound of applications is obtained, which is quite convenient.

Learned newly reproduced songs, as well as data about the played song in currently. Choosing a section with music in the phone, the player menu itself will open. There are several criteria for sorting: albums, performers, compositions, playlists, genres. In any case, the screen will display the files that are clearly highlighted with covers and signatures. The search and the function of mixed playback works. At the same time, the search function among the library is useful.

If you select the desired album, the following menu will appear. It can see the cover, information about the number of tracks, genre, year. The song is sent to the playlist or another device. In another menu, a large list of additional actions are invoked, where there is not only the song information, but also the ability to install it as a call melody.

During playback, songs on the screen indicates the album, the name of the artist, the title of the track, duration and remaining time. The track is added to the playback queue, goes to the external device via DLNA. A convenient option of loading covers is supported, which helps bring the album into a presentable look. The player works both in landscape and portrait modes.

Enabling the improvement of sound using the Beats software option, you can see how the sound changes when listening to different musical genres. It works with any headphones connected to the smartphone. Other parameters of sound profiles are also provided, but there are no manual settings among them: classic, low frequency gain, vocals, reinforcement of low frequencies, live, dance, heat, sweetener. If listening to music during a locked keyboard, pressing the mechanical key will wake up the screen, then the player control menu and the album cover will appear on the display, if any. It is convenient and allows you not to climb the menu if you want to switch to another track. With a locked keyboard, the volume in the player is adjusted using side buttons.

The smartphone was tested with Triple Fi.10 Pro headphones, which showed good results. Here is a sufficient volume of volume, there are no syvents at high frequencies, a clear and powerful bass, which will love the fans of electronic music with an abundance of rhythmic networks. I liked the sound.

Radio

The radio is able to independently search for stations and keep them in its memory. At the same time, you can make a list of the most beloved and quickly switch between them. There is support for RDS, as well as playback function through a phone speaker. Stations in the phone's memory can be renamed it yourself. There is a search for Soundhound, which works in radio or music player mode. It will help you quickly find detailed information about an interesting composition.

The browser works both in horizontal and in the vertical orientation of the screen. Thanks to the multitouch page, the pages are easily scaling (the virtual keys work to change the dimensions of the displayed), the browser interface itself is understandable and convenient. The top is the address line, next to it - the icon, pressing which adds page to the bookmarks. At the bottom of the screen is called extra menu In the form of a traveling panel, which allows you to open new windows.

The browser supports the function of simultaneous work with several instructed pages. You can switch between them, update the page, view the bookmarks and exercise some other options (search by text, view downloaded files and other). During the page scrolling, the address string disappears, but during the scrolling of the site, it may appear again. It is very convenient that when scaling pages they are adapted to the borders of the screen, they are pleasant and comfortable to view. There is support for Flash, if you wish, the animation can be disabled.

The browser works very quickly, the pages are fully loaded, even the volumetric tests with hundreds of screenshots are displayed without problems: with quick scrolling of pages, despite very much high speed Scroll, data are displayed instantly, without delay.

Video is played on the entire screen, rewind is carried out using separate keys. Compared to previous models, the smartphone has played more files, but still a separate player does not prevent better confidence. The player remembers, at what place the rollers will be played in different files. A brightness level is configured in the player, you can take a screen shot.

New flagship HTC with NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Google Android 4

One of the most anticipated smart phones of this year was received to the Russian market - One X, the flagship of HTC. You could already read our report from the Russian presentation of the One line, so we will not list the common things about the new line and focus on practical acquaintance with HTC One X.

But before testing the device testing, let's look at its technical characteristics and compare them with the main competitors. Of the models already presented in the market, may be considered, first of all, Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 and Sony Xperia S: both of these smartphone flagship, both with big screenand both work under android management 4.0. Of course, it is impossible not to include in comparison and Apple iPhone 4S. By the way, the reviews of all the above devices have already reached our site.

As you can see, according to the characteristics, all three Android smartphones are very similar to each other. At the same time, Nexus i9250 is cheaper than everyone, but SOC has a lot. The most expensive - our today's hero HTC One X, but he and the most powerful stuffing: Nvidia Tegra 3 until we were met in smartphones. But to compare HTC One X (as well as the other models) with iPhone 4S is difficult. Since, for example, the presence of processor cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz at Sony Xperia S does not mean that this smartphone will be twice as fast than the iPhone 4S (with 800 MHz nuclei). The same applies to and RAM. However, in the cost of the iPhone 4S from official "white" supplies is still the most expensive. So, especially it makes sense to look at Android competitors. The most relevant of which is HTC One X.

Design

For us to test, the smartphone came without any packaging, so it is better to figure out the packaging and package in the store before buying. We focus on the design of the smartphone.

HTC One X is available in black and white decoration. We had an option with a white case on testing, and I could not immediately say that I did not like the appearance of the smartphone. First, white plastic looks cheap (in contrast, let's say, from white iPhone 4 / 4S); Secondly, the form of the device is uninteresting, boring (compare with the same Nexus i9250); Thirdly, on the touch rear surface Nexus i9250 is much more pleasant and original than that of HTC One X.

Minus is also non-removable back cover (Sometimes the only way to reboot an immemorated smartphone - pull out and insert back the battery; it's not about specific model, in general, about smartphones). The SIM card is inserted in the same way as in the iPhone - it is necessary to insert a pin or clip into a small hole and pressed, after which the cradle leaves the case. And - yes, as in the iPhone, a MICRO-SIM card is required here.

From unusual worth noting the speaker to play music and sounds on the back. Judging by a number of holes, it is larger than many other smartphones, although it is clear that in any case the speaker of the smartphone will not better decision To play music.

There is no support for SD cards. In principle, this is not such a big trouble, since the amount of built-in memory is 32 GB. But sometimes using MicroSD can be very convenient if, say, you must transfer the movie from one device to another.

With the connectors, the situation is as follows: on the left side - Micro-USB to recharge and connect to the PC. On the right edge - the volume rocker.

HDMI is not, however, for the Micro-USB port, support is implemented MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link), which allows you to display Full HD video and eight-channel sound on the TV / monitor with HDMI. However, this requires a special adapter. HTC has already used MHL in Flyer tablet, and in our review of this device you can read some details regarding MHL.

The last thing I would not have is raised above the back cover, surrounded by aluminum edging. From the point of view of the appearance, the solution is dubious, but functionally, probably quite justified.

In general, the design of HTC One X did not seem successful to me. The appearance of him is boring, ordinary, without a raisin. Interestingly, than guided by the HTC designers, creating One X. It appropriately to remember that the body was first invented at Apple, and then the engineers had to shove all components to this case. HTC is obviously reverse sequence. Or they approached the task of without any enthusiasm.

In terms of convenience and functionality, the HTC One X demonstrates the same disadvantages that the iPhone has: this is an uncomfortable mechanism for placing the SIM card (it cannot be pulled out without girlfriend), a non-removable back cover, no slot for a memory card. On the other hand, all this does not interfere apple device Be one of the most popular (and objectively the best) smartphones. So put it in the guilt of HTC One X would not be completely correct. It is just worth considering these features, buying One X.

The mass of the device is 130 grams, which is very normal for the male model.

Screen

The screen produces a very pleasant impression. The SuperlCD2 matrix provides good review angles, sufficient stock of brightness and pleasant colors.

Comparison with the Nexus i9250 screen. Similar diagonal shows that SuperlCD2 gives slightly less saturated colors than Super AMOLED HD. His black color is also not so black as Nexus. But this is the overall feature of all LCD displays (as opposed to displays on organic LEDs). In this case, it does not seem to us that the SUPERLCD2 screen is too impressive color, but in general this is a question of subjective sensations. Therefore, we advise in the store before buying just take HTC One X and any phone with an amoled display and compare sensations. It is possible that one X is more like.

Compared to Nexus, the One X screen has one dignity: the picture on it looks a little smoother, no pixels are simply impossible.

The touchscreen capacitive screen is supported by MultiTouch, but by default - only two simultaneous touchs. Already after publishing the article, the readers indicated us that in the settings you can activate support more Simultaneous touchs, but the meaning of such a solution (disabling support for multiphalter multitach default) for us remained a mystery.

Automatic brightness adjustment works well, quickly adjusting the brightness both towards the reduction and up to the increase.

The physical dimensions of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe screen: 10.4 × 5.8 cm. Diagonal - 11.9 cm (4.68 inches).

Performance

Let's start with benchmarks. The result in Quadrant Standard is wonderful: 4635 points.

Among the smartphones is an absolute record.

In the browser test Sunspider 0.9.1 The advantage of Tegra 3 is less obvious. And it's time to admit that for powerful modern SOC SUNSPIDER is no longer so indicative. To work on the Internet and processing JavaScript, their performance is quite enough. Therefore, more influence on the result can have, say, the browser rather than SOC.

Note: For testing HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250, a regular Android browser was used, and for iPhone 4S - Safari. The table shows the best results that demonstrated devices.

Amazing but ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime showed the result in this test worse! Thus, it can be said that by calculating the number of PI HTC ONE X, there is no absolute record holder.

In the complex Antutu Benchmark, the smartphone scored 10043 points.

This, again, undoubted victory over the rest of the smartphones (including Samsung and Sony flagships), and the loss here is only asus tablet.

In Multiplatform Geekbench 2, the separation from competitors is not so impressive. However, as we have noted more than once, we have doubts about how correctly geekbench does not lead themselves on apple devices.

Graphic performance we tested in Nenamark2 (v2.2). The result is expected excellent - 47.7 FPS.

So, the benchmark showed the unconditional leadership of HTC One X among Android-smartphones (compare with the iPhone is more difficult, and quite reliable tools for this we do not yet).

Testing video

We were going to test HTC One X for the support of video formats (our test method, the example of which you can see in the article about Galaxy Nexus i9250), but failed. It's hard to believe, but HTC One X does not have a regular video player. We installed Dice Player (which NVIDIA employees are recommended for TEGRA chips testing) and MX Video Player, but both applications work is not entirely correct. Dice Player is simply realed immediately after trying to start the video (any), and MX Video Player could not correctly reproduce the sound. Perhaps this is a sample problem (we had an instance not from a commercial party), but in any case the situation is alarming. As we remember, the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet based on the same NVIDIA Tegra 3 coped with the playback of test rollers perfectly (subject to the use of Dice Player). So, in One x it's not a platform, but in the firmware. Anyway, for use as a media player, we cannot recommend this smartphone yet.

After the article is published, we received a comment by NVIDIA representatives: on their instances, Dice Player worked correctly and there were no such problems with video playback. In the near future, we will try to check it on another instance of HTC One X and add an article.

Operating system and applications

HTC One X is the second smartphone on Android 4.0, who fell into the editor. However, from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 preceding him, the novelty distinguishes the presence of the HTC Sense 4.0 branded shell.

HTC continues to develop Sense and equips all new products with its shell. Did not exception and One X. The difference from the original Android 4.0 was manifested primarily in the organization of desktops, pre-installed widgets and in the changed appearance Icons. Also quite differently look the icons of folders (pay attention to the screenshot above).

Some changes are getting used to non-completely - for example, a browser icon is very confused; It is difficult to find it.

It looks very curious about the viewing mode of the latter running applications: It is made by three-dimensional (like Cover Flow in iOS). Breaks only that in horizontal mode, the application miniatures "lie on the side".

HTC offers a number of applications in addition to those that are supplied as part of Ice Cream Sandwich by default. Among them, the office package of Polaris Office, which allows you to view, create and edit text files, tables and presentations, applications for receiving FM radio and Internet radio, as well as different useful utilities - For example, "Task Manager". It is very useful when it is necessary to free rAM Devices.

Very curious app "in the car." In fact, this is another shell, only substantially limiting functionality and use-oriented during the road driving.

The overall impression of HTC Sense and pre-installed software - the following: In fact, there is nothing unique or expensive here, but it is obvious that the manufacturer of a smartphone wants to make a maximum of worries from the owner of a new device. No need to look for third-party shells, everything you need already installed (including useful little things like "flashlight" and "mirrors"). It is clear that all this can be found on Google Play Store, and for free. But HTC eliminates its buyer from the need to search.

On the other hand, purely aesthetically HTC Sense is no longer enough original Android 4.0, as it was in versions 2.x. I would even say that my android taste on Nexus i9250 is pretty. But this is a question of subjective preferences.

Camera

HTC One X is equipped with frontal chamber For video link and rear camera for shooting photos and videos.

The manufacturer emphasizes the advantages of the rear cameras. There really is to be proud. First, according to the characteristics, the rear HTC camera fully corresponds to the modern flagship level. Does not exceed, but corresponds. Secondly, there are some additional featureswhich are just not all competitors. First of all, this is a serial shooting. Hold the shutter button - and the smartphone makes the machine gun of the pictures, of which then it is proposed to choose the best.

Here is an example of one snapshot from the series (the original click is available).

The usual shooting, of course, is also possible, and the speed of it is very large, as well as the quality of the resulting images. As an example, we give a snapshot fragment, increased up to 100% (the full picture is on the original quality).

Note a small amount of digital noise. And although the clarity is still where to increase, in general, the quality should be recognized as high.

Another picture (click on the full picture on the original quality):

The shooting of the page from the magazine also pleased: Text detachable, you can quickly drop documents or texts and then read it or recognize by special programs.

There is a digital zoom, but its use on the quality of the pictures does not affect the best way.

In addition, a number of effects are available (in addition to standard settings).

Video can be removed in the resolution of 1920 × 1080 (1280 × 720 is displayed by default). Examples of videos: How the camera copes with small parts in terms of the overall plan (29 seconds, MP4, 31.2 MB) and moving objects (29 seconds, MP4, 33.3 MB).

In general, the camera is one of the strengths of HTC One X.

Autonomous work

Despite the statements about the special energy efficiency of NVIDIA Tegra 3, it did not seem to us that this smartphone works any longer on one battery charge than other Android devices. One X possessor will have to recharge it every day.

The video on the smartphone can be viewed without recharging about 4.5 hours (MKV, 720P) - True, this is the result for our "defective" playback in MX Player without sound. And with the full load of the processor, the device will work less than two hours, which showed testing in Antutu Tester.

NVIDIA, represented by Irina Shehovtsova (PR manager), commented on the situation with the power consumption of NVIDIA Tegra 3 and the duration of the HTC One X smartphone from one battery charge:

Of course, thanks to the use of the fifth nucleus - a companion that works on more low frequenciesIn some scenarios, the Tegra 3 database will be more economical to spend the battery compared to the previous generation devices. But in general, as long as we are not talking about a fundamental increase in battery life, but to provide devices of greater performance and better possibilities without increasing their power consumption. The term "energy efficiency" in this context needs to be understood as the best ratio of performance on Watt. The Tegra 3 platform is more energy efficient, because it provides devices based on large resources, while maintaining their power consumption at the level of the flagships of the previous generation. And, of course, it is worth distinguishing the capabilities of the platform and the possibility of the product on its platform. In fact, the battery life of everyone specific device It depends very much on the features of its design, display optimization, battery capacity, etc.

conclusions

So, what do we end up? Large male smartphone with great good screen, excellent camera and outstanding performance, but with a mediocre design, low autonomous time and strange problems with video playback. Does he deserve the status of the flagship? Yes, if you evaluate the smartphone for technical specifications. Can this smartphone interest an ordinary user who needs performance for specific tasks, and not as such? In our opinion, at the current price - hardly.

The same Galaxy Nexus i9250, which can be found in the area in the area of \u200b\u200b21-22 thousand rubles, looks much more attractive. And although in terms of performance, it is significantly inferior to HTC One X, it does not affect the convenience of use. At least for now. Yes, of course, the expensive apparatus is worth taking "to grown", and in this sense the costs of Tegra 3 can be fully justified. But if it is so needed by Tegra 3, I would recommend waiting for a while. All the same, now there is no sense of such performance. But in a short time, smartphones on this SOC will be released by other manufacturers. And some of the future new products may seem more attractive than HTC One X.
