Tag Archives: HTC one X

The first impressions of the HTC Droid DNA are actually very promising. The look of the screen alone can already be classified excellent. However, how does this phone fare from the other smartphones?

We compared the HTC Droid DNA with some of the current heavyweights of the smartphone industry.

HTC Droid DNA vs. the Competition

The first thing to compare with rival smartphones is the screen brightness. The HTC Droid DNA was placed beside four other phones including the iPhone, the Nexus 4, the HTC One X and the Galaxy S III. The results revealed that the iPhone produces the brightest screen among all the smartphones followed closely by the One X. Although the performance of the HTC Droid DNA is quite disappointing, the brightness is still enough to make the screen visible in daylight.

Color Quality and Screen Testing

When it comes to color, the Super LCD 2 of the One X still remains on top along with the iPhone 5. Although the Super LCD 3 of the Droid DNA produces a rather blue hue, it is still a lot better compared to the greenish shade of the Nexus 4. Aside from the pixel density, the Droid DNA provides clear images for users to appreciate, especially in a macro shot.

However, in summary, the Super LCD 3 of the Droid DNA is still inferior to the Super LCD 2 of the HTC One X. Although the former has a slight edge when it comes to the sharpness of the display, this still cannot make up to its poor color calibration and darker screen.

Ranking Smartphones

Although the HTC Droid DNA does not generally have a bad screen, it is still a step backwards compared to the other phones. Here is the ranking of the smartphones according to their display:

HTC One X
Apple iPhone 5
HTC Droid DNA
Google Nexus 4
Samsung Galaxy S III

Note: Although all the aforementioned smartphones have their clear strengths and weaknesses, all are prone to unforeseen accidents such as water damage, cracked screens etc. If your smartphone is in need of repair, the experts at iFixYouri can certainly help.

Honorable Mentions

Aside from these five, there are two other smartphones that remain to be tested. These are the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II. When it comes to brightness and color, the Lumia is classified as excellent. However, it is still a step behind the Droid DNA in terms of the resolution. The Lumia 920 is a lot sharper because of the thicker typeface; however, the size of the pixels is actually comparable. As for the Galaxy Note II, it is, as of the moment, at the bottom of the ranking.

iPhone 5 v. SGS3 v. HTC One X: Photo & Video Quality

November 24, 2012 Staff 2 Comments

The process of choosing a new high-end smartphone to buy may seem exciting at first, but things can get confusing once you start focusing on the technical aspects of the product. Two important features for many smartphone users is the ability to take good photos and videos. Let’s compare image and video quality of three very good smartphones: Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and iPhone 5.

Battle of the Smartphones: Round 1 – Picture Quality

If the overall picture quality is considered as the benchmark, HTC One X is the best option because it tends to over-sharpen the image thereby minimizing degradation. Yet, iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 cannot be called poor in this aspect.

If you want a phone that reproduces colors perfectly, then you ought to choose iPhone 5 because it does justice to snaps with natural and warm colors. The One X seems to overdo this aspect by bringing a yellowish hue into the images.

Exposure wise, the One X lags behind the other two because it tends towards under exposure. iPhone 5 scores the highest as far as dynamic range is concerned.

Smartphones will get used indoors very often. Hence, this is an important parameter. iPhone 5 scores high again and produces very good images irrespective of the quality of lighting. SGS3’s flash does a good job of taking good snaps even in poor lighting but does not match iPhone’s performance.

Round 2 – Video Quality

What about video? It is Apple all the way. Want HD videos with crisp details, perfectly natural colors and super smooth recording all the way? Choose iPhone 5. The iPhone camera seems to get great quality, well encoded video. The S3 fails in suppressing wind noise. One X just does not make the cut here. Details are vague and the capture rate is plain slow.

And the Winner is…

When you analyze the quality of images and video, there is no doubt that iPhone 5 comes out on top in a close race. It is easy to use and pretty fast too. Other two options are impressive and definitely score over similar products in the market. However, it cannot be denied that they fall behind when one compares with iPhone 5.

Regardless of the model you choose to buy, keep in mind one important fact: the device is delicate. If anything happens to your new smartphone, you can save your tears: iFixYouri specializes in repairs for all 3 models!

The Top 5 HTC Smartphones

November 23, 2012 Staff 3 Comments

When the first automobiles arrived, Henry Ford is quoted as having said, “The model T comes in your choice of color: black, black, or black.” Apple, with its iPhone, has created a similar situation for Macintosh loyalists. However, HTC knows that people want variety. Anyone hoping for a great phone with a little more variety than numbers needs look no further than HTC.

The HTC Smartphone and Its Top 5 Models:

There is no particular order to this list since every user values certain features over others. Below though, readers will find the top five HTC smartphone models, followed by a leading feature or two of each phone on the list.

• HTC One X

• HTC Rezound

• HTC Evo 3D

• HTC Velocity 4G

• HTC Thunderbolt 4G

The HTC One X Smartphone

It is the newest model on the market and it was rated September 2012’s finest phone. There is no quad core processing, but what the One X has that no other phone does is an HD display beyond the eye’s ability to comprehend. All the density in these phones visual images makes it seem more real than the world around it.

The HTC Rezound Smartphone

It has a leg up in the sound category. LaptopMag called this phone, the phone to listen to. For music lovers, the Rezound is resoundingly the right choice. As a secondary noteworthy feature, this model has some bulk and active users seem to prefer it for its durability.

HTC Evo

Its 3D’s outstanding feature is easy to identify. The images from the screen jump out at the viewer, and the 3D is glasses free. If three-dimensional viewing was the only benefit though, maybe Evo would not make the top five lists, but its dual core processors and 4G capabilities give it a competitive edge over much of the market.

The HTC Velocity 4G

It has a simple philosophy. Unencumbered by other features, the faster-than-a-blink Wi-Fi has nothing to interrupt it. Sure, every HTC Smartphone is fast, and offers reliable Internet connection, but until users have seen the constant reliability of the Velocity, there is no way to understand the benefits of a stripped-down model.

HTC Thunderbolt 4G

Its high cost nearly kept it off the list of the top five phones, but its incredible Internet data package with the fastest times of any phone meant it should be included. Evaluators have said that the Thunderbolt battery cannot compete with the super-fast data speed, and thus the phone runs out of charge quick. Nevertheless, the Thunderbolt will satisfy even the most impatient web-browsing individual.

There are many more HTC models to choose from, and there are also a variety of ways that these delicate electronic devices can become damaged. Instead of just buying a new model when your current phone is cracked, chipped or suffered any other physical damage, you can easily get it fixed by professional HTC repair technicians.
