So I went down to the local Vodafone shop to have a look at the HTC One X.
Where I was pleasantly surprised with the One S because it felt smaller in the pocket then the Nexus One, where it has a 4.3" vs 3.7" screen. The One X felt huge in the pocket.
The 4.7" screen of the One X means it isn't particularly "pocketable", I like the bigger screen while I'm using it but when carrying the phone in a pocket it is important that it fits comfortably.
This leaves me wondering, is someone going to make a quad core version of a One S size phone. I have said before that I want a top spec phone, just not a massive slate in my pocket.
I can imagine the SGS III will be similar in size and feel to the One X, the SGS III having a 4.8" screen will probably feel even bigger.
What are your thoughts on the HTC One V?
ReplyDeleteSince I have a Nexus one and the specs are almost the same.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't buy one, it is a good phone but I wouldn't recommend anybody buying a new phone get a single core. Dual core should really be a minimum along with 1GB of RAM.
I would spend a bit more and get a phone that will still be good in 2 years.
My Nexus One has faired well since I got it, but now I find that I am pushing the system resources a bit. If the One V came with 1GB of RAM I would be happier giving it a pass mark.
Unfortunately there isn't really anything on the market that has a similar small form factor that has a decent spec sheet.
The HTC One S doesn't feel that much bigger in the pocket and has much better specs, admittedly at twice the price.
