AT&T hasn?t wasted any time getting HTC?s new flagship, the only X, onto its network, though america version of the smartphone has seen a couple of changes along the manner. We?ve already comprehensively reviewed the single X in European, quadcore form, running NVIDIA?s Tegra 3, however the AT&T model borrows the dualcore Qualcomm S4 from its smaller One S sibling and pairs it with LTE connectivity. Could this be the most efficient variant of HTC?s 2012 line-up to this point? Read on for the SlashGear review.
Hardware
The majority of the AT&T One X is only as we have seen before: a 4.7-inch 720p HD Super LCD display, squeezed right into a carved polycarbonate casing, and accompanied by an 8-megapixel camera. In place of retread old ground, we?ll point you to our original review for our glowing impressions of the only X?s photographic skills, Beats Audio, and other core abilities.
We could have seen the design before, however the One X is easily a grower. There is something in regards to the sturdiness of the casing and the curve because the screen glass reaches the bowed side-profile that feels great within the hand, and while it could be plastic in place of glass, the matte finish keeps things feeling premium.

4G LTE
AT&T is raring to teach off its 4G network, and so the only X went in for some LTE surgery while it made the trip around the Atlantic. We have seen strong performance from the carrier?s network before, and the only X isn?t any different.
In our tests against the eu model, which tops out at HSPA+, the AT&T model is roughly twice as fast. We have seen download peaks of as much as 5.22 Mbps and upload peaks of one.57 Mbps, while averages settled at 3.15 Mbps down and 1.22 Mbps up.
Performance
The impressive turn of speed the HTC One S delivered using Qualcomm?s Snapdragon S4 tipped us to the indisputable fact that a dualcore wouldn?t necessarily be behind in comparison to a quadcore, and in order that AT&T?s One X swaps the Tegra 3 for the S4 didn?t give us an excessive amount of cause for concern. In side-by-side testing, there?s an obvious advantage for the NVIDIA but a less predicable bonus for the Snapdragon.
In Android benchmarking tool Quadrant Pro, the Tegra 3 One X scored 4850, slightly prior to the Snapdragon S4 One X at 4835. What?s interesting is the breakdown of these overall scores. The Tegra 3 model has significantly stronger CPU performance, unsurprisingly, almost double what the S4 can manage; however, the Snapdragon delivers roughly twice the memory I/O. That?s in no small part all the way down to its dual memory channels, and means data read/write is quicker.
Actually within the hand, and in day after day use there has been no discernible difference between the 2 variants. Neither suffers any noticeable lag or stuttering, and within the real-world the absent cores do not feel like an obstacle.
Phone and Battery
AT&T?s voice network proved rock solid during our testing, without a dropped calls or distracting static. The only X is in a position to great in-call audio, too, with the twin microphones getting used for active noise cancellation, and the earpiece cranking as much as compete inspite of loud background noise.
LTE tends to consume battery briefly order, though at the flip side there are fewer cores within the AT&T One X to power. Overall, then, runtimes for the Tegra 3 and S4 versions are roughly on a par, we found.
With the display set to be permanently on, together with GPS, and with mixed use of WiFi and cellular data, playing videos and skimming the web, both versions of the single X managed to run for over eight hours with 26-percent power left. Take note of that?s an extreme case: with more typical ? though still heavy ? use, we went for almost an entire day on a single charge.
Wrap-Up
We fell hard for the eu HTC One X, and with the addition of LTE the AT&T version is even stronger. The slick physical design, excellent display ? visible indoors and out, even if wearing polarized sunglasses ? and solid audio quality, when paired with 4G data speeds, add as much as an amazing smartphone and a fitting flagship for HTC?s 2012 range.
Our one remaining quibble is HTC Sense, covering up what ? after an even few Android iterations ? is in Ice Cream Sandwich a highly usable platform in its raw form. Sense is way improved, yes, but so is Android 4.0 and we?re still not convinced that HTC?s customizations are necessary to any extent further. Still, Android?s flexibility means there are many third-party launchers to select from ? we?re particularly concerned about APEX and Novo ? without demanding which you root your phone.
Is the HTC One X the right phone on AT&T?s network? It undoubtedly has some very strong competition from Apple?s iPhone 4S, though with the 2 handsets targeting different extremes on the subject of screen size we?d think there?s room within the line-up for both to coexist. If you are an Android fan and also you live in a neighborhood with LTE coverage then the AT&T One X is a no-brainer.
