Alrighty people, we\u2019re back with yet another comparison between two high-end Android powered\u00a0smartphones<\/a>\u00a0for AT&T, which interestingly enough, has built itself one eclectic lineup of late. Reigning mightily for some time now, the\u00a0HTC One X<\/a>\u00a0has been a bona fide hit for the carrier thanks to its chiseled looks and comprehensive Sense 4.0 experience. Oppositely though, the\u00a0Sony Xperia ion<\/a>\u00a0is attempting to establish its presence by hinging on its contemporary hardware, combined with a killer\u00a0price<\/a>\u00a0point right out of the gate. So without further ado, let\u2019s find out how these two stack up face-to-face with one another!<\/p>\n

Showing off their sturdiness, there\u2019s no arguing that the two are solidly built all around to withstand even some of the harshest of punishment. However, we\u2019re drawn to the HTC One X\u2019s design for all the obvious reasons. Unlike the sharp feel and easily dirtied brushed metallic body of the Sony Xperia ion, the HTC One X exudes a more calm demeanor thanks to its clean unibody polycarbonate construction and rounded corners. In addition, HTC\u2019s beauty is lighter and skinnier than Sony\u2019s offering, therefore, it simply feelseasier<\/a>\u00a0to handle in the hand.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019re constantly frustrated trying to\u00a0activate<\/a>\u00a0any of the Xperia ion\u2019s\u00a0capacitive buttons, it\u2019s actually not a concern with the HTC\u00a0One\u00a0X<\/a>, since its trio of capacitive buttons are spaced far away from one another. However, we\u2019re not fans of the barely raised power buttons and volume controls of both devices \u2013 plus, they\u2019re not all that responsive either.<\/p>\n

Indeed, there are no removable batteries with either handset, but we find that the Xperia ion\u00a0benefits<\/a>\u00a0from having a separate microHDMI port and expandable memory via its microSD card\u00a0slot<\/a>. In contrast, we can still get video-out with the One X, but it requires the use of an MHL adapter.<\/p>\n

Technically, the\u00a0Sony Xperia ion\u00a0boasts the higher pixel density thanks to its\u00a04.6\u201d HD Reality Display\u00a0withMobile<\/a>\u00a0BRAVIA Engine \u2013 whereas the\u00a0HTC One X\u00a0flaunts a\u00a04.7\u201d HD S-LCD 2\u00a0display. No doubt, it\u2019s a win onpaper<\/a>\u00a0for the Xperia ion, but when it comes down to it, the difference is nearly undistinguishable since both are exquisitely detailed when viewed close up or far away. Overall though, the HTC One X captivates us more thanks to its the punchier colors and wider viewing angles \u2013 even more, it\u2019s easier to view in outdoor settings over its rival in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
