LG Optimus 4X HD vs HTC One X review
Winter has fully thawed away and we’re now bouncing into spring. As a smartphone fan, this time of year always blossoms great arrivals as many manufacturers come out of hibernation to show off their latest premium offering to eager tech lovers. With LG and HTC officially releasing their latest and greatest flagship handsets to date, we compare the LG Optimus 4X HD against the HTC One X. Dazzling size and power like nothing before, our handset review pits the super heavyweights of the smartphone market against each other for battle.
Display and Exterior
Both the HTC One X and LG Optimus 4X HD mobile phone prize a gleaming 4.7 inch display; perfect for you to lose yourself in whilst watching that streamed movie online. A screen display 1.2 inches larger than the iPhone range and 0.4 inch above the Galaxy S2, these latest phones were made to give you more. The large screen doesn’t hinder either as the image quality on both displays is fantastic with the LG Optimus 4X HD cramming in 720p High Definition action on its HD-IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. The HTC One X packs in just as many pixels on the display (720×1280) as the LG Optimus 4X HD, meaning that it’s a dead heat between both handsets for display. For exterior and casing, the LG Optimus appears very similar to the rest of the smartphone market with its safe black rectangle case design. It’s a design that’s effective and has worked for well for the Samsung Galaxy series. LG have made it their own using a dual banding around the edges of the handset. The HTC One X however dares to be different. Its curved design looks fresh, intuitive and well constructed.
Processing Power and Software
Both of our titans also house the same Tegra 3 chip 1.5GHz quad core chip. With so much superpower I’m surprised one of these handsets isn’t coined “Quadzilla” as it makes the big Apple iPhone 4S appear insignificant with its 1.2GHz dual core processor. Both with 1GB RAM, they’re primed ready to take on your extensive multi-tasking demands. As you would expect with both flagship handsets, the LG Optimus 4X HD and HTC One X are served with the supercool Android Ice Cream Sandwich. This combination of power with Android means there are great games to download from Google Play. With HTC Sense 4.0, the HTC One X has the added bonus of HTC Car; an intuitive driving companion that can navigate you to a geo-tagged photo. With no current physical release of the LG Optimus 4X HD, we’re currently awaiting to see how LG will tweak the Android Ice Cream Sandwich user interface with their own features.
Entertainment and Storage
With built in Beats audio software the HTC One X enhances your audio experience. If you’re a bit of a music mogul, you’ll struggle to not be immersed by the powerful sound, as every texture and layer is clearly defined. The HTC One X also comes with one year 25GB dropbox account storage, so you don’t have to worry about having your favourite song on the wrong device. The LG Optimus 4X HD, hosts plenty of space for your favourite tracks, with an internal 16GB memory, expandable by up to 32GB via microSD.
Camera
As both handsets come with 8 megapixel camera’s capable of full HD video record, the kit is there for you take high quality photos on either device. The HTC One X goes a step beyond hardware specs to bring you HTC ImageSense; intelligent software that helps you capture great photos in any condition. The flash will automatically adjust between 8 presets based on the natural light availability already present in the room. With instant capture features, and the ability to take photos whilst video recording, the HTC One X offers that little bit extra of inbuilt software to optimise your photos. The LG Optimus 4X HD picture quality will still give you great photos and these can be easily enhanced using the vast amount of Android apps available on Google Play.
UK Release Date
Fans of HTC will be pleased to know the HTC One X deals are already available on mobiles.co.uk. With an April release, you can pick up the HTC One X as a free handset from £26 per month. The LG Optimus 4X HD has no official release date announced as yet, though with the full specifications announced at the Mobile World Congress back in February, expect to have the handset available for purchase before the end of May.
Our Verdict
The differences between the two handsets are slim. For hardware specifications, it’s a photo finish tie. For those who crave the very best handset, we would recommend the HTC One X mobile phone. The LG Optimus 4X HD, offers impressive specs but just lacks the HTC Sense features that give the edge. With Beats Audio integration and the HTC ImageSense photo capture software, the HTC One X just offers slightly more. This is no fault of the LG Optimus 4X HD, rather that the HTC One X beats anything currently on the market. If you are keen enough to find your own photo and music apps from the Android Market Google Play, then the LG Optimus 4X HD, may be a great way to get your hands on some top technology without the HTC One X price tag. Overall, both fantastic phones available from mobiles.co.uk. Will they stand the test of time and how will they compete against the likes of May 3rd’s Next Samsung Galaxy announcement?

HTC to Ditch QWERTY Keypads?
HTC has announced a change in its design strategy. The Taiwanese manufacturer has said that it is moving its focus away from physical keypads and towards better screen technology in its future devices.
Claude Zellweger, HTC Creative Director, recently told Pocket Lint: “There’s sort of a die-hard community that keeps wanting it, but we feel that putting too much effort into that would take away from our main focus.”
HTC’s latest handsets, the One X and One S, both feature expansive touchscreens and have been getting glowing reviews, being compared to the best touchscreen devices on the market.
Conversely, the HTC Cha Cha, the Taiwanese manufacturer’s QWERTY keypad-sporting ‘Facebook phone’ which was released last summer has received a lukewarm reception from consumers. This could have influenced HTC’s inference that it plans on dropping physical keypads from forthcoming handsets.
The majority of handsets produced by HTC run Android, which has always given the impression that it is designed to work best on a large touchscreen, so it is understandable that the manufacturer is gearing its designs towards utilising this. It is also true that a physical keypad vastly increases the bulk of a handset, which not only reduces the space available for the touchscreen but makes the device more cumbersome than slimmer, touchscreen-only phones. With the advent of the One series, HTC has proved that slim and slender is where its intentions lie and physical keypads just do not fit in to its approach to design.
With a major manufacturer signalling that it believes the mobile-buying public are turning away from physical keypads, where does this leave RIM and its trademark Blackberry devices?
The Canadian manufacturer has deviated from the familiar Blackberry form factor in the past, releasing the all-touchscreen Storm back in 2008 in the hope that traditional Blackberry users would accept a device without physical keys. However, for many years RIM’s unique selling point for the Blackberry has been that it is very easy to type emails, giving the devices large appeal amongst the business community, leaving other manufacturers to clean up amongst demographics who wanted large touchscreens and the many options that they present.
Subsequent releases have toyed with combinations of inputs, based on a more conservative design. A number of handsets in the Torch range featured a small touchscreen and the re-introduction of the QWERTY keypad, along with an optical trackpad providing users with another option for navigation.
This layout is something that RIM has continued employ since, right up to its upcoming Curve 9320, details of which were accidentally leaked by T-Mobile last week. However, RIM has had to deal with the realisation that smartphone users could be deserting the Blackberry after it emerged that 40% of mobile phones recycled after last Christmas bore the Blackberry name.
Recently leaked mages of the upcoming Blackberry London appear to indicate that show RIM could be erring towards full touchscreen in its flagship models – if the range’s premium handset lacks this most identifying of features it could be evidence that RIM’s strategy is moving along the same lines as that of HTC.
In spite of what looks like an emerging trend in smartphone design, other manufacturers have gone against the grain and flirted with physical keypad design when their main focus has been on the more common, large touchscreen-sporting slabs. Samsung added a QWERTY keypad-sporting device to its Galaxy range last year with the Galaxy Pro, a Blackberry style handset that mostly failed in combining a physical keypad with a touchscreen. It felt as if the Korean manufacturer wasn’t so much experimenting with new designs as trying to tempt a few of RIM’s long-standing customers over to its flagship range by apeing Blackberry’s iconic feature.
So it may not be the biggest of surprises that HTC have made this announcement, as bold as it is to say it out loud. The Taiwanese company’s recent lack of success with the Cha Cha looks to have been enough to make it wary of QWERTY keypads and the super-slim One series on which its current focus lies does not lend itself to physical keys. However, if HTC are correct and, other than a die-hard minority, there is less consumer demand for physical keypads then it remains to be seen how RIM will adapt its range to the touchscreen era.

HTC One X Vs HTC One XL
With the new HTC One series of mobile phones sweeping smartphone users off their feet, HTC is certainly turning out to be a tough competitor in the smartphone market. The One series includes several mobile phones that are designed to offer unmatched excellence for even the people still addicted to their iPhones. Cutting edge features such as the inclusion of Beats audio on the whole range, impressive cameras, cloud storage, and other state of the art features make these phones a great catch in the market. The best mobile phones in the One series are the One X and One XL. Let’s take a closer look at what separates the two phones from each other and do battle with the HTC One X Vs HTC One XL.
Operating System
Both, the One X and the One XL run on the Android v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system (check out our Android beginners guide). With Android as one of the big daddy’s of operating systems, it is no surprise that HTC has used the latest version to power the new One series . With an abundance of apps and games available from Google’s newly branded Play Store, the HTC One series will be at the forefront to run the latest and best apps… no matter how big or small.
Processor
With both phones running on Ice Cream Sandwich, is there really a difference between these two phones? Under the hood both phones are packing a different processor. Both are powered by fantastic processors to enable users to make the most of them. The HTC One XL is powered by a dual core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor while the One X features a powerful Quad Core 1.5 GHz Tegra 3 processor. This gives the One X a slight advantage over the XL and could be enough to swing the choice of the techies’ out there.
Design
With a large touch display stretching from the top to bottom, the design of both the One X and the One XL are identical. Both phones feature a large 4.7 inch touch screen that offers smartphone enthusiasts a fantastic user experience. They’re both quite sleek without being too bulky and have that quality HTC brand feel that has been ever presnt in HTC for the last few years. If it’s quality you seek, the One Series will not let you done.
Camera
Both, the One X and the One XL feature a clear cut 8.0 mega pixel camera with autofocus, LED flash, BSI sensor, smile detection and more. Users can take quality pictures on the go and record videos in full HD and share it with their friends and family instantly. The picture quality is pretty impressive on both phones, and with a 1.3 mega pixel secondary camera fitted on both smart phones, you can be sure to make all the video calls you want with complete convenience.
Connectivity
Connectivity is one area where the One XL proudly owns the One X. While both phones support GPRS, EDGE, and Bluetooth v4.0, the One X does not support 4G while the One XL does support it. So if you’re looking to use your phone for 4G services, the One XL would obviously be your preferred choice. One concern is that 4G is not available widely yet, so this extra feature seems like it’s more for show than practical use.
Both these phones offer superior quality for every smartphone user in the world. While the HTC One X features a better processor, the One XL triumphs in terms of 4G connectivity. The HTC One X is available in the UK now, while the HTC One XL release in the UK is still to be confirmed.
