HTC One X+ : Rebuilt for Good

Last Tuesday HTC launched HTC One X+, a mighty successor to its best-rated Android phone – HTC One X. In simple terms, the One X+ is a super-upgraded One X. The name HTC One X+ is just the right fit for this beauty. I believe, the “+” symbol signifies all the new and renovated features the phone carries without actually modifying the look of the phone.

When you look at the device, you won’t notice any difference. The magic begins once you start playing with it. To begin with, the new HTC One X+ runs on Android 4.1 - Jelly Bean with an improved HTC's Sense 4+ UI, upgraded from Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC One X. The phone's 4.7-inch 1280 x 720p Super LCD 2 display remains the same as with the One X. 

The 8MP rear camera with LED flash also remains unchanged. However, features like One-press continuous shooting make it a completely new ball game. One-press continuous shooting is super snappy, capable of clicking 4 shots per second. HTC’s VideoPic feature allows you to shoot HD video and capture high-resolution photos simultaneously. The front camera gets an upgrade from 1.3MP to 1.6MP with better image processing and a timer.

Thanks to power of the new 1.7GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, the One X+ is 67% faster than its predecessor, which clocks at 1.5GHz. Be it multi-tasking or gaming, it’s smooth and seamless on the new HTC One X+. A credible feature of HTC One X+ is, the phone is PlayStation Certified; offering an experience you can’t resist.

Now, if you are worried about the battery on the One X, here is something you would love. Battery on the new HTC One X+ received a major facelift. Instead of 1,800mAh battery on the One X, it now has a 2,100mAh battery, which is expected to give up to 50% more battery life. 

If you are still fussy about the 32GB storage on the One X, I should say HTC One X+ is here to stay with an internal storage capacity of 64GB. However, there is a minor disappointment with no microSD option. 

HTC’s intention to make its best-rated Android phone even better is clearly visible. HTC One X+ is mightier, faster, efficient, and better than the One X. But, will it stand out among the major brands ruling the mobile market? We will testify it in weeks time.
