OS and Software:HTC's flagship phone offers the largest canvas for its extensively customized Sense UI, which features a customized lock screen, expose-like functionality, plenty of options on the widgets and home screens front. It's also one of their best camera phones to date.
Verdict:
If you're a gamer, you're likely to have a preference for the One X's Nvidia's Tegra 3 ecosystem which stretches to a gaming app store of its own. Lack of a user-accessible battery, microSD card slot and USB OTG makes it less versatile than its chief competitor.
