HTC One X Review: Quad-Core Power, Looks to Spare
-
The One X is HTC's new flagship Android smartphone, the kind of phone that just leaves you breathless.

The One X's two marquee features, however, are likely its Android 4 OS with the new Sense 4 user interface and the phone's powerful Tegra 3 processor. The real world impact of a quad-core processor might be negligible for most tasks, but there's no denying that the marketing appeal it offers is great.
