When HTC announced the One X at MWC in February, my initial thought was, "I need this device no matter what carrier it belongs to." And then AT&T announced that they would have it, but it would not carry NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 processor and that only the non-U.S. version without LTE would. My second thought was then, "OK, unlocked HTC One X, here I come. I need me some quad-core phone-age." (Not that the Snapdragon S4 is a slouch, but come on, who doesn't want to say they have a quad-core processor in their phone?) And that's where we sit today, with at first glance, one of the most beautifully designed smartphones I have ever seen on my desk.
