We have a release date folks, O2 has let slip that HTC's latest, high-end, quad-core smartphone will be arriving in the UK on April 5th, though currently plans and costing details remain undecided.

HTC One X

For those who can't remember back to MWC last month, the One X is one heck of a monster, sporting a large 720p-capable 4.7 inch display, backed by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

The device also features support for the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard along with, optionally, support for NFC, dependant on mobile operator. Another feature of note is the 8-megapixel BSI camera sensor, supported by an impressive F2.0 aperture 28mm-equivalent lens and the ability to take pictures whilst recording video.

Not until I know how long the battery would last. A phone battery needs to last at least all day (and still be doing that in a year or more, not just when fresh out the box). Unfortunately, not all do.

I was interested in the One-S, as 4.7" is just too big for me. Then I realised the One-S is pretty much the same as my Sensation, just with a slightly prettier frock on.

I like this phone but think I'll be getting a samsung note instead for three reasons:
1) Battery is not replaceable?
2) No microSD slot?
3) Note is £28 a month - I'm struggling to find this on preorder for less than £37 a month (thats with a free wireless HDMI stream box to put content from phone on TV but that doesn't interest me).

As above, price is going to make this too expensive for most.
HTC have a reputation of supplying batteries that are not upto the job with their hardware, and taking the option away to replace this battery is rather off putting.
All that power under the hood, but absolutely no need to it - total overkill.
Is 4.7“ too big? maybe, my DHD at 4.3” is perfect.

Well the notes 5.3! But I figure my pockets are big enough, I don't use the phone for many calls and I do a lot of browsing (on my 4" X10) then the extra screen space is worth it!
