   “What kind of screen is it? – It’s a super LCD screen.”
   uh.. what? That’s not actually a thing is it?

   On a different topic, I thought HTC was supposed to be changing their business model to concentrate on just a few phone models so they could remain more agile in the market and easily provide android updates.

   This looks like a completely different phone design just for a single carrier. Not to mention the AT&T version of the OneX is rocking a different SoC than the OneX they’re shipping elsewhere. How is that different than the business model that got them in trouble to begin with?

   HTC had me excited with their new One series marketing materials. But in seeing what they’re ACTUALLY doing in the US market, any excitement has been completely deflated.

     Super LCD does exist:

     The reason why the U.S. variants of the One X are using the Snapdragon S4 is that the Tegra 3 quad-core won’t work with LTE. But no worries, the S4 has been tested side-by-side with the Tegra 3, and it outshines the Tegra in many aspects. It’s a bit faster overall, but the Tegra is a little better in the graphics department.

     I don’t think HTC is really straying from their philosophy of less phones by offering the new Evo LTE. Sure, it looks different, but it’s basically the same phone as the One X- from a spec perspective. The reason HTC wanted to focus on creating less phones, is so that their quality would be improved. I do not think this has been compromised in any way with the Evo LTE. So, in that regard, this still jives with HTC’s new philosophy.

     As for me, I will definitely be getting this phone! Albeit, not when it launches. I have to wait until Summer before I can upgrade. I have thought about the Galaxy III; but am not impressed with the radios Samsung uses in their phones. My HTC has always had better reception than my Samsung. I think for overall device quality, HTC is the better choice (and the phones are no longer slower than Samsung’s).

   This phone has some amazing specs and the future hardware on board for updates . It should come with 16 gig on board and 32 gig max expanded (not included) . You guys need to see this is the future of a company pushing us all forward ,and this is part of being simply brilliant .

   HTC has had the same phone design since the Desire HD (R.I.P) and i have gotten tired of it. after my sensation XE had an untimely demise, i switched over to samsung galaxy s2. this was probably the best decision i’ve made in a while. not only does the s2 look better the UI in my opinion is a whole lot easier to use. sence 3.0 was very laggy to me, i haven’t been able to try out the new sence 4.0 so i won’t judge it too much but i doubt its changed drastically. on a final note, i believe HTC did a great job with some previous phones, but there all the same now even spec wise. what samsung did with the s2 was a big jump from the original galaxy s phone. Samsung definitely didn’t disappoint me with the s3 design and UI. I just can’t wait to see what android phones my kids will be using in 20-30 years.

   Prefer HTC to Samsung, but if I wanted a sealed battery & no SD slot, i’d get an iphone.
   I don’t see this phone as being a huge step forward.
