If you’re on the market to get the best Android powered phone from HTC, the newly announced HTC One X+ is the best option currently available. The handset may look identical to the HTC One X, but HTC has equipped the phone with a much faster 1.7 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, added LTE, beefed up the batter to 2,100 mAh and crammed in 64GB of internal storage. HTC has even made changes to the front-facing camera and added an amplifier so the rear speaker on the device so that you can enjoy your Beats Audio enhanced music even more.
We know the HTC One X+ is at the top of its game when compared to HTC’s handset portfolio, but how does it stack up against the Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III and original HTC One X? We’ve compiled a side-by-side spec comparison of all four devices so that you can get a clear picture of how the top smartphones compare.

I really hope HTC does well against the iPhone sales wise. Against the GS3 too, of course.
It can’t compete unless its on all major carriers…
Are you sure galaxy s3 is slcd2? Or amoled…
The Galaxy S3 is quad core 1.4Ghz, not duel core 1.5Ghz as you have listed and its display is sAMOLED not slcd2. see http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/android/GT-I9300MBDBTU-spec
The dual-core 1.5 GHz reference was for the U.S. model. I’ve updated the chart to include the International and U.S. variants.
what will evo 4g lte upgrade to ?
icrap 5 cpu dual core clocked at 1.3ghz and uses speed boost upto 1.6ghz with 1 gig of ram its posted all over the net.
Not all sgs3 have 2 gig of ram either and it has mhl
Did you not resarch first??
I’d call those specs for the iPhone5 speculative at best. Apple has not released the official processor speed or internal memory numbers and it doesn’t help that major tech sites don’t agree on what’s inside.
I’m not convinced that the HTC One X+ was the best move by HTC. Yes, it’s specs outclass its competitors, but HTC needed to do something extra to make the phone stand out. A simple spec bump isn’t enough.
Put the damn phone on multiple carriers or i also dare HTC to have some brass and put PURE JELLY BEAN and make a PENTABAND VERSION of the One X+ and watch and see how they scramble to meet demand for the device. The only thing that might slow the sales of this incarnation of the One X+ will be the upcoming Nexus device/devices. HTC has a GOLD MINE of a device but is failing to capitalize on it with these silly bone head exclusives that just help to keep the devices in the hands of the masses…and yet they continue to slide in quarterly revenue. Go figure…i am screaming to the top of my lungs. WHY IS HTC DOING THIS…CONTINOUSLY SHOOTING THEMSELVES ON THE FOOT OR FIGHTING WITH ONE HAND TIED. They’ve got to match Samsung’s flagship devices spec for spec or surpass them and also unleash their flagship device to the masses/all major carriers.
I intended to say dumb exclusive deals that prevented flagship devices in the hands of the masses on other carriers. Many will not abandon their Network because of a phone..bring ur device to their Network. Samsung and Apple have come to this realization and their sale numbers is proof of that. Why hasn’t HTC seen the light is beyond me..it pains me to watch them slide downwards cuz i love their build quality and i know what they can be capable of when compared to Sammy and Apple… : (
yeah…you’re right dude…
