pure guess but top phones all seem to follow the same pattern... $500 MSRP, $199 upgrade (maybe $50 mail in rebate)
optimus 2x cost
I heard that it could be upwards of 650-700$ range outright
Would this version of optimus 2x suoport tmobile 4g???

Yep, it is said to use it.
that'll be awsome...
does it support LTE?
Can anyone comment on what changes will the UI have now that the 2x has the "G" name? Thanks!

For the sake of clarity, since I have never owned an Android phone before- do you mean the UI is identical to the Nexus phones but OS updates will not mirror the Nexus' schedule? Thanks!
Yes, it will be like the nexus-no ui changes made by the phone company like Samsung Touchwiz on their galaxy s phones. The optimus 2x has lg's motoblur changes in their ui. The US version is unique since it supposedly won't have that, only pure android with no changes. Developers and fans are excited because it is FAR easier to work on clean android builds without manufacturer changes. Learn about "cm7" for example to see what I mean.
As far as updates, it is dependent on the phone manufacturer and the carrier it is on. LG has reported that this phone will launch with 2.2 froyo, but will get a quick update to 2.3 gingerbread which is the newest version of android (and hardly distributed officially at this point).

^saw a video on this just now... there is NO microSD expansion cards?
what is UP with that? don't most droid phones allow microSD? forgive me i haven't looked at new phones in a long while. if it is inside, is it easy to replace w/16 or 32GB? i don't want just 8GB. need 32GB or more... too bad it doesn't accept SDXC nor are there SDXC for cheaper. would luv a 128GB or 512GB SDXC micro card inside

thats because the microSD is inside the phone. I don't think they would allow them to take off the back to show us the microSD.
ah, ok. that makes more sense. i just hope it isn't like the Windows Phone 7 microSDs where it might brick the fone if you tamper w/the microSD card. it's a huge reason why i didn't go w/WP7.
hoping for a keyboard version in the future though... it will be interesting trying to text w/o a keyboard... since i'm so used to it.

It's up to 32gb btw.
Will it be released in April? Hrms, if so, shouldn't T-Mo or BestBuy or XXXX company put out the word for pre-orders? The date's right around the corner!
I heard this will be t-mo's 1st device that can support 42mbps 4G speeds.

Hopefully development for the Vivid won't be hurt too much by the release of the One X. Kind of sucks it's released only 6 months after we got our phone, but considering it won't come with a removable battery or a micro sd card slot and only 16GB of onboard memory, I think sticking with the Vivid isn't such a bad idea as long as development continues for the Holiday family.
Still hoping CM9 and Sense4.0 RILs get completed before the One X is released, sucks it's such a pain to get working, but much appreciation for those working on it.
Another point to be noted is similarly to what happened to the Vivid, the One X may have its bootloader locked for some time too and maybe be S-On. I'm only speculating unless there's news out there already.

I thought the one x was supposed to have 32 gigs of memory? Either way I chose my vivid knowing this was right around the corner, no regret really. I'm sure the one x is nicer but no user replaceable battery was the deal breaker for me.

I think the international version has 32 GB of memory. Why they reduced it is strange. Also, the AT&T has a different processor so it can work with LTE, so I've read.
Yeah because nvidia screwed up (again) with tegra 3 and didn't optimize it for lte. But the new snapdragon supposedly blows it away anyway. No doubt the 16 gigs only would be a deal breaker for me. I mean the way Samsung partitioned my captivate, I could make do with that, they gave you 12 gigs! But both my flyer and vivid give you 8 gigs which isn't enough though I did notice that 4 gigs is partitioned for internal storage so I just never move apps anymore.
Of course my understanding is ics is supposed to do away with internal storage and just have one partition for everything... Doesn't apply to our phones because they were upgraded of course but maybe on the one x it will be that way and just give the user 14 gigs for apps and storage.

I'm thinking about just getting the international version just so I can have the quad core and bragging rights. There's no LTE here in Delaware so I could live without that.

Samsung is cool. They ship with unlocked bootloaders. They hire Cyanogen guys. They work hand in hand with devs.
HTC on the other hand, has gone the opposite direction.
Never thought it'd happen but Samsung > HTC in terms of dev friendliness.
Yeah and i think it was may last year where htc said no more locked bootloaders yet out phones and the one series are still locked. Motorola pretty much did about the same thing. But man Samsungs are so friggen cheap feeling in comparison to htcs

Whatever the case may be, the only thing I like on the OneX is the camera and Sense 4.0. If they can be ported to the Vivid, I'm sticking with it. Even when the OneX hits, I'm still probably going to push the Vivid to my customers. LoL. But I'll get to play with the OneX at least a week before it's officially released to the public.
I think the one series might be a big fail for HTC. The general buzz is people are irritated about no removable battery and no expandable storage and review sites are ripping sense 4.0 a new one. Honestly I don't get the trend of android phones leaning towards built in batteries myself. I can kind of understand the lack of expandable storage as ics is capable of having one master partition that can be used for app data and user storage, and obviously we're heading towards a cloud based future anyway. But the built in battery just sucks. It's why I bought a vivid and didn't wait for a one x.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
When they announced this phone I was excited and said that was going to be my next phone, but after buying an HTC flyer that was noticeably faster than my captivate, I just wanted a phone that could keep up and decided on a galaxy s2. Well my friend who has a Droid bionic convinced me that lte was worth it so I looked at the skyrocket. But the skyrocket was $200 and they had this lte HTC phone that had the exact same specs as the skyrocket but was only $99. So I got myself 2 of those one for me and my wife. And as the one x date came closer I had often wondered if I screwed up not waiting for it. Thank you HTC for making me realize I made the right choice!
The more I read about it the less appealing it is. First I didn't care about having an SD slot because with 32 gig your set anyway but now its confirmed, 16 gigs only 9 available to the user. They claimed better battery life but the euro model without lte is getting 10 hours on standby...can't imagine what lte would do to it. My vivid is pretty good when its not on lte, a battery sucker on lte but I have a solution: spare battery and external charger. My battery warning hits and a couple minutes later I'm at 100%. But not an option on the one x because the damn thing is built in? Did HTC miss the original Motorola Droid commercial? A user replaceable battery is supposed to be an advantage over the iPhone, no one wants a built in they deal with it because they have to.
Last gripe is sense 4.0 vs 3.6. Its not dramatically different its the same sense with a skin. Sense has actually grown on me quite a bit so its not necessarily a drawback but its not an advantage either. I've watched YouTube videos and most of the changes are skin deep. And the failed horribly too opting to use capacitive buttons instead of the ics action bar thats supposed to show as needed because since there is no menu button, a gigantic one pops up and takes away screen real estate as needed.
So I conclude the one x is just another phone and not a god send like everyone wants you to think it is. And I'm happy I chose the vivid instead.

More than likely, not. While the Sprint version is a World Phone and has a Micro SIM slot, AT&T's model doesn't support CDMA. Pretty sure this is right, can someone back this up?

According to what I've read there are a few different SKUs of the ONE. The Sprint version is a "World Phone" but it seems it may only have 900/1800 GSM for European ROaming and not 850/1900 needed for US roaming.
The AT&T version will not have the CDMA basebands enabled so you would have to buy a sprint ONE to use on sprint.
It does suck a little I know, but with all the cloud options now, and you get 25gb of Dropbox with Sense 5, that is the way things will continue to be IMO.
Edit: After a little searching I found that a few reviewers are claiming that the Sprint Version is GSM 850/900/1800/1900 capable but only HSPA14.4 Data.
On s4gru.com they claim the FCC paperwork shows only 900/1800 (European Bands) GSM capable.
Also USB OTG! Something like this may be a good investment if you need lots of storage space (once it comes out). Or any other USB dongle + flash drive.
I know OTG is an option but it defeats the purpose of the "stylish" device. I also don't always have the luxury of having good enough service to stream music and such. My job takes me all over the USA and to some really remote areas.
I wanted to try something different this time around, but it looks like I'll be settling for a GALAXY S 4 since there really isn't any other options. I'd love a Nexus device, but they don't have LTE which is my main means of Internet when I'm home... it's light years faster than anything else around me and, with tethering, it's free.

Yeah, to each his own, in terms of storage. I don't ever see the necessity of having more than 27-ish gb of free space on my phone, since I don't listen to 10,000 mp3s all the time and can keep my high def movies on a flash drive, xfer them over, and then watch them. OTG doesn't defeat the purpose of a stylish device for me, since it won't be plugged in 100% of the time. And even if it was, I'd still prefer the aluminum One to the S4 anyday.
Good luck with your S4.

Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy Nexus is a bit dated. I want something with up-to-date hardware.
As for the Aluminum vs Plastic ordeal it makes no difference to me as I'll be putting a case on it. The aluminum, although nice in both feel and looks, is a lot less durable in my opinion. I love my aluminum element case for my S3 so it looks as good, and more protected, those those other aluminum phones.
I'm not set on any particular device just yet so I'm going to keep considering it. I want a phone that will have great development and I'm sure either phone will be developed just as much as the other. All the talk about the lack of devs going to the S4 is just for the Exynos version I believe.
I'm open to more input from you guys as to which phone to choose. I've stayed far away from HTC devices as they've been cumbersome and difficult to root/flash for me when I've attempted to do it for friends and family, but that could just me... I have to admit the process on all my Samsung devices have been extremely easy and that's one of the things I like.

Samsung isn't and neither are most manufacturers; and look at where Samsung is now. Sure their build quality and design is not up to par with others but their phones are packed with features.
When you are competing in a crowded marketplace, it helps to have every feature that is possible to attract the widest range of customers.
Cloud services only work as good as the data connection and Sprint is the worst when it comes to data connection.
OP is just one of many who won't even consider the One because of lack of a SD card. There are countless others who won't complain or post their opinions or give any consumer survey; they will simply shake their head and walk to the next model.
I was one of them and I had filed away the One under my 'not preferred list', however the low, low, price that I had to pay for it, plus the USB OTG support won me over.
And HTC has shown that it is possible to include an SD slot in it, so why the hell not?

Pretty much this. And while your bandwidth may not be acceptable in some areas, 32GB of storage for this phone is more than enough to put most of your favorites on just in case you aren't in an area with 3G or LTE. If expandable storage is what you're going after, you might as well jump ship and pick up an S4, or downgrade to an EVO 4G LTE (which is still a pretty relevant phone considering it'll be getting an upgrade that puts it at Sense5).

Their unibody design is one of their main selling points. Thats why they released videos of the manfacture process. I rely on the cloud for everything. So the unibody+no sd slot was a nobrainer for me. And if you look at technology as a whole, the focus is on the cloud. Phones not as much but the stance is growing. The recent Google I/O basically boiled down to "Google glass lololzors Cloud EVERYTHING"

I'm on SERO as well with very spotty LTE and just all around bad 3G. There's never really a time that I've run into not having data when I need it, unless I was in BFE North Florida in the middle of nowhere. And data throttling has never happened with Sprint, and so far has not been hinted at ever happening, at least not in the foreseeable future.
I used to want to carry ALL my EVERYTHING all the time but I grew out if that.
Don't see the point in trying to cram dozens of gigs of stuff into a device that I will likely never access. *Shrug*
I have a friend who wouldn't get anything without an sd card because he had "8 to 9 nand backups" and I said "wow, that's excessive and has no reflection of a fault on the design of the device but of your data hoarding practices" he almost seemed offended.

USB OTG will solve those issues of local storage without streaming. Once you get used to it you'll be spoiled. I tend to carry a lot of development around on a phone and I still havent missed the sdcard. I rarely use OTG but I know its there when I need it. And since the OTG adapters were like 1.99 I have one everywhere so I don't ever think about carrying it with me, due to having them stashed all over the place. And the option is there for a lot more space than an sdcard.

There's a SIM card slot in the unibody design; surely it is possible to include a SD card slot somewhere on the periphery?
All B&N Nooks have a SD card slot on the periphery of their devices.
With millions of $$ being spent on R & D by HTC, surely they could have found a way to include it in a unibody design?
The CEO has famously stated that he will resign from his post if the One turns out to be a failure. While it may not be a failure, shouldn't he be aiming for 'wild success' instead of 'mild success'?
Lack of an SD card may not bother many, but it is a no-no for a few. Shouldn't HTC target all those people too, especially when they are lagging in the market?
If they were market leaders, I can understand their doing this but not when they are struggling.
I upgraded to the One despite my reservations about the SD slot, the low price tempted me into buying it. I love the design, the construction and they way it works. But the lack of an SD card irks me. I plan on using the OTG support for an external reader but it is not the same.
The issue with finding a way to incorporate an sd slot in the unibody design is the fact that they literally ran out of room to the point that they had to INJECT moldable plastic into the device.

As much as I hate Apple and the iPhone/iPad/iPod, their non-removable battery and absence of the expandable storage has shown over the years that people get by without it. Sure, a MicroSIM slot was added to ALL of the phones, but it's pretty much necessary to have it. Regardless of whether we want to see an HTC One with expandable storage or not on Sprint, unless Sprint says "make us another EVO with the specs of the One and the added SD card slot, it's probably not going to happen." This is pretty much becoming the standard across A LOT of manufacturers, and whether Samsung takes that road or not, they're not winning that many people over just because of that "feature." Only a small percentage of people want it to keep EVERY song they own, or a movie library, or every app that Google Play has to offer. To the rest of the buyers, it's just the fact that it's a beautifully designed piece of hardware that's capable of getting them through the day.

It's probably Sprint that went for the no SD Card Slot Option and HTC just sold it to them as requested.

Too bad HTC didn't say we want this phone to be the "One" with the most storage. We are going to put 128gb on-board and fulfill all your storage delights for the year setting the bar for other phone manufactures to follow.
So it doesn't have an SD card slot boo hoo, you going to carry around 32 gigs movies or some s***?

When are people going to understand that SIM cards are only good for pictures, movies and music?

Probably around the same time that people realize a SIM and an SD card are about as similar as a Badger and Double-Mint gum.

My apologies it was a typo. I'm sure your wise ass understood what I was saying.

I admit, i'm an htc fanboy for many years. Heck, this website was born from an htc device. I am waiting on the note 3 as a secondary device (to mount in the car and use as a general tablet like device while keeping my one as my main handset due to size). If htc would make something like the note, 6- 6.5 inch screen etc., i'd be all over it. I'm starting this thread as sort of a petition for such a device. I'd also value any opinions but please keep it constructive. As soon as this becomes a "my samsung beats your htc beats your iphone beats your nexus" discussion, it will be closed by moderators and rightfully so. Try to keep it positive and see how many votes we can get FOR such a device. If you hate htc, buy a samsung and have a fabulous day!

Petitions. Driving the global economy.
Well we're off to a good start

I am a galaxy note user and thinking about my next device too. I would love to see a bigger HTC One, even though Note 3 will be overwhelming, I guess. The One is just amazing. And a newer HTC One multimedia giant with nice speakers 'sounds' even better ...
For me, it will depend mainly on design (hopefully no plastic-based Note 3) and if HTC can imitate nice features like multi window or air view (or/and build up other ones).

There are rumours all over the internet about a so-called "HTC One Max" - a 6" version of the One. I can't think of any better middle-ground between phone and tablet as I think the HTC One is a truly gorgeous device. Now if they make a tablet that is similar then I'll wee in my pants, change them and go to the shop to purchase it immediately.

Like I said, it's all rumours at the minute, but here's an article...

I'm sure they are but if there are rumors, there's a possible market for it. It seems like a risk for them right now but if the one is bringing them back , and i hope it is, they may get back in the game. They're getting atention with the one. Pa 3+ is being officially released on it soon. Do you by chance remember the htc advantage?

I don't care what they call it, with snapdragon 800 and an sd slot i'm in. It does appear they've been working on a phablet regardless.

It needs to have:
- 32GB or above MicroSD!!! If not then never mind.
- Full HD (no more halfwitted 720/800 junk. Enough with the 2001 graphics.)
- Snapdragon 800
- Pen support. It's hard to beat the Wacom-supported Spen.
- 3GB or more RAM.
For me to consider it over the Note 3. The HTC One was never a serious contender for me, because 90% of the time I do not have an active WiFi connection, and I need the large extended storage space. (You try doing 6 hours a day by train without a large pack of decent film to watch.)

I admit it was tough for me to go with a32g device. I worked it out though as I'm still using the evo lte in the car for media nav hands freedialing texting etc. That's where the phablet's going whether htc or Samsung. As long as it has a card slot 16 gig is not a problem for me. 2 meg ram is more than enough on the one but more would still be fantastic. That's where the real performance improvements come in. I'll trade 4 extra cores for a gig of ram any day.

No removable battery?
No external sdcard support?
Locked bootloader?
Thanks...but....No thanks.
I'll stick with my S3 and S4 and look into the S5 when it comes out.
(Yes, the ATT and VZW variants of the S4 have locked bootloaders....I'm on T-Mobile...doesn't affect me (regardless of what my sig says ))

Most phones come with locked bootloader. Anyhow this isn't a comparison of the one and s3/4. I'm looking for people who WANT an htc phablet the rumors of which imply a removable micro sd fyi.

Not comparing. Simply saying "no more HTC"
(This coming from someone that owned MANY HTC devices)
