No microSD card slot, no alternative options in terms of storage ; No dedicated camera key ; Non-user-accessible battery

The AT&T version of the HTC One X has plenty going for it. The smartphone is just as beautiful and well put together as its global sibling, yet still manages to outperform it on almost every occasion. Comparisons aside, the Sense UI 4.0 offers...

Amazing screen ; Fantastic camera ; Good battery life ; Impressive performance ; Sense 4 is unobtrusive

Carrier bloatware is annoying

Is AT&T's One X really better than the global model? Yes. If you can live with the carrier's software tweaks, this is the best subsidized Android phone in the US today.

So that's that then - our look at HTC's latest attempt at bringing comprehensive smartphone functionality under one roof is complete and we have to tell you we are pretty impressed with it. The One X is not only surprisingly compact for its screen size...

Looks and feels stunning ; Most gorgeous display ; Fantastic camera ; Incredibly quick and smooth ; Sense 4 UI is thin and light

Battery life not as good as the One S

Buying an HTC One X is a lot like getting a unicorn: it's wild, fast, white, beautiful, expensive and fickle. Still, it gives even the mighty Galaxy Nexus a run for its money.

A beautiful, powerful phone. Fantastic camera. One of the best displays on the market. AT&T’s network is fast in 4G or 3G speeds. Sense 4 isn’t as good as stock Android 4, but it’s the best alternative out there

HTC’s signature protruding camera lens will get scuffed and scratched over the life of a two-year contract. Beats Audio makes music sounds louder, but not better. AT&T exclusivity is a shame

Runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) out of the box. Stunning high-definition screen. Powerful camera and camcorder. Blistering LTE data speeds. Excellent voice quality.

May be too large for some hands. No voice dialing over Bluetooth.

Other nice features: HTC adds a Car Mode, which displays a beautiful landscape home screen with large icons for easy access while behind the wheel. This includes the free Google Maps Navigation, as well as icons for making calls, streaming Internet...

Large screen is great for movies and games ; Very well designed

Poor call quality ; Audio pickup in videos is abysmal ; Non-expandable storage

The HTC One X is a fantastic phone, providing you can overlook its flaws. For some, the below-average call quality will most likely be a deal-breaker. For others, the One X's weak audio recording capabilities and inclusion of bloatware will be what...

Best phone display ever ; Superb design and materials ; Camera UI is best in class ; Tegra 3 screams

Sense 4.0 is still as much a liability as an asset ; Hard button experience isn't perfect ; Photo and video quality only average

HTC has done something pretty special with the One line
