HTC One X Plus !! Should I go for it ?

You can go for it or maybe go for lg optimus g.
How much did u sell your s3 for? How old was it?

The HTC One X Plus isn't much of a upgrade to the S III.
save and upgrade to HTC One.
The reason I've recommended it as you sold your Galaxy SIII you might not like the SIV too.

i found htc good in all,but u need 2 sacrifice abt battery's life.. if its ok go for it.. its superb phone .
I totally agree with what thetechfreak said, save and upgrade to One.
One word, No. Not after owning a GS3. I would suggest getting the Optimus G atleast. Anything lesser and you wont have a measurable upgrade. Even better if you can get the HTC one.
One X+ is the only option for you, and I recommend it.
And if you can save some cash and get HTC One then there couldn't be anything better than that.

Coming from S3 you should Get no less than LG Optimus G (flipkart selling it for 31k with 9 months FREE EMI)
Optimus G is a great phone, no doubt! But if you ever wish to enter the world of custom roms/kernels, you will be utterly disappointed. And, you will eventually have to root if you wish to keep your LG phone up to date because believe it or not, LG sucks at updating.
Best would be to import a Nexus 4 if possible for you.
Optimus g or nexus 4
Nexus 4 or Xperia SP
Thanks for all replies guys. Actually my max budget is 30k. So htc one & gs4 are out of question. I played with my friends gs4 but it felt like m still using S3 !!!
I am getting HOX + For only 28.5 k So it's a sweet deal IMO.
Nexus 4 also out of question as no warranty. OP G is good but in local stores it's for 32k.
Xperia SP I like that but gsmarena & digit reviews shows bad cam.
Confused now.
My gs3 was secondhand & used for 2 months by me & 3 months bye X owner. Sold it for 24k.
I knw LG sucks at updating. After selling S3 now using my old LG Optimus Net. (rooted & on Xperia rom already)
Partially agree with u. But I am honestly not looking at upgrade. As in real life it's rare to use full potential of a phones hardware. I dnt think I will play games on a tiny handset [Only play fun games like temple run, gta 3 & other TP games maybe.] As I am a PC gamer. Also OP G's 2 gig of ram will be really useful for multitasking for sure but for that I have to pay 3.5k more & design wise HTC is more beautiful.
I am using my LG O Net for more than 1.5 year now but people's reaction when they see LG are weird & I dnt want to spend 32k if I have to explain features to everyone abt the phone so ppl can get convinced why I spent so much on LG !! In India most of the People still think that LG is an Refrigerator & TV Brand.
I dnt have any issues with battery life as I have habit to charge cell phone twice any way.

I don't want to sound like I am propogating the Nexus 4. But it is the best phone for 25k. Having no warranty is a concern but if you are gonna be tinkering with custom roms and stuff(which will void warranty), it is the best. It will give you the best UI and multitasking experience on an Android. period! Getting it paid repaired(in case) is possible in Mumbai atleast.
If not the Nexus 4 then get the Optimus G, with identical hardware, it will easily get custom roms based on the latest android version. I agree that the xperia SP doesnt have a good camera, but if you are not a camera person you should consider that because it comes with current generation hardware.
Good price to sell itMy gs3 was secondhand & used for 2 months by me & 3 months bye X owner. Sold it for 24k.
This point is moot, LG is getting better at updates. Optimus L9 is on jellybean. And considering my earlier point of Optimus G being identical to Nexus 4, it will definitely get updates if not officially then through custom roms. You sure the One X + will get updated to KLP? Optimus G most probably will.
Why are you worried what people will think about your phone's brand? Each brand has good phones and bad phones. LG has had its share of bad phones, but Optimus G is definitely one of LG's best. Nexus 4 is LG made, L9 is the best midrange phone for a while. Why worry about explaining? Its your money, enjoy the best you can get. Be well informed with your purchases. Agreed that the One X+ is better looking, but is that more important than performance? Why not the xperia SP then? I have nothing against the HTC one X+, its just that its got a older SOC. The Tegra 3 is late 2011 technology based on 40nm and its got 1GB RAM. It is perfectly fine IMO but you never know when you start feeling the need for more power under the hood. Mobile tech is moving ahead very quickly. 2GB RAM will quickly be the norm and a limitation for newer android versions.
I am sure it HTC will surely release an update for it.
Most likely they will. But, even if they won't I'm sure there will be a custom rom for it. One X/X+ has got amazing dev support.
@guru_urug :-
N4 will not easy for me to import. I dnt want to do any online transaction. Lg OP G Is definatly best but costly also. The back can crack if I happen to drop it !!
Also abt KLP it's already delayed. so when N4 will get OS after that 3-4 months OP G will get that. SO it's like 8-9 months from now I guess !!
HTC 1 X is not good ???

The N4 is available locally in mumbai in a few shops for 25k. KLP is delayed, but who knows what interesting features may be revealed in 4.3? Every nexus phone gets at least 2 major android versions. If u plan on using the phone for only 8-9 months then its a different story. Nothing wrong with one x plus..just wouldn't be my first choice. 3k more for double the ram, processing speed and adreno 320 graphics sounds like a good deal to me. The back glass is not as fragile as it seems.
The only HTC phone I would recommend is the HTC one. The rest are overpriced for the hardware they offer, build quality wise and design HTC is very good..go for it if that is most imp priority and if u will most likely change phone within one year. Tegra 3 phones should be at 25k now. Xperia SP with its dual kraits and adreno 320 is a better performer

Just went to a local shop & XP SP was there for 25k. But I think it's overpriced right now. HTC one X plus was overpriced when it was for 38k now it's different story. It's around 29k. So I dnt think it's overpriced as It's a 64 gig version. N4 having only 16gig + no warranty !!
At 25k I think XSP is ok considering that it is just out and beats all the other retail sold phones in performance in the same range(even one x+ in some areas). Price will come down soon with time. 16gigs is enough for me and probably a vast percentage of users. If more storage is a requirement for you, (which you didnt mention) then getting a phone with a micro-sd card/ more internal memory makes sense and n4 will not cut it. XSP has a micro-sd card slot so you can expand its memory. Please state your requirements/expectations from the phone.
In retrospect, I think you should get the one x+ since in the end you should buy what you like and are comfortable with. I am not trying to force my opinion on you. Like I said earlier, its a fine phone and has no obvious flaws
The HTC ONE X+ is a good phone and when I was using a DEMO UNIT, it was like "AWESOME", haven't felt like this with any other phone.. Even I was planning to get one.
Then I compared the benchmarking results b/w HTC ONE X+ and XPERIA SP. SP beats X+ is almost everything. So
I completely agree on this. A friend a mine is obsessed with X+ and he is planning to get one. I gave him a lot of options, but he was not at all happy at the end I said the same words.

Hmm. But I am not interested in benchmarks. Those will not affect real life performance by large margin any way. It's just specs war. If ur work is getting done by core i5 then why go for i7 !!!
I am liking thi one x + since I saw it's pics & videos. Just wanted you guys suggestions to make sure.

One X+ by all means is an awesome phone. I myself have been using one x for over 11 months now and haven't faced a single issue. It runs all the current games decently well and one x+ would be better at that as its gpu and cpu are both over clocked. It feels way way way better than the S3 and shows much less wear and tear marks than it. And one thing that people are forgetting here is that one x+'s screen is truly amazing. Better than any other 720p panel out there. So, if your main agenda is not gaming then you'll be very satisfied by it, but, if playing graphic intensive games is high up on your priority list then consider the SP because of its good gpu.
Thanks for the reply. No I dnt want to play games as they are difficult to play on touch screen. I was stuck on one mission of GTA VC on my GS3, That mission was damn easy on pc that I dnt even remember it attempting more than 2 or 3 times on pc. but on phone It's very difficult. LoL
Ya I will be gaming a littile like angry birds, temple run & same like games but not high end. Only High end game that I would like to play is NFS shift. I loved it on GS3.

I don't think you would have a problem running shift. Most wanted runs decently on my one x and it would be better on the + and shift is much older so there won't be any issues with that. And all casual games run perfectly.

Why not the Xperia ZL? Saw somewhere available for 31990...Sony is better off than LG on updates
ZL For 31990 would be amazing and definitely better than one x +.
Xperia Z is available for 34k now
Then I compared the benchmarking results b/w HTC ONE X+ and XPERIA SP. SP beats X+ is almost everything. So
not a dealbreaker. One X+ beats SP in display, camera, internal memory whereas SP has better processor. If you are not a power user who want every last bit of performance from his mobile, get One X+.
but there was one big flaw in One X (most likely affecting X+ too) that when you minimize an app for a long time it gets autoclosed. i at times minimize opera mini for 7-8hrs and in the morning i can simply open the app (webpage was saved in memory when minimized) continue reading the article i left off at night. same for games.
That was ram optimization issues in the earlier software versions. And that used to happen if you opened more than 3 simultaneously. I don't seem to notice it at all now.
I must say that you seem really set on the One X+. So I don't think anyone can influence you enough to take it out of your mind.
But I'd still say that when you've sold a Galaxy S3 you should upgrade to something that's genuinely better than S3 and not one that is on par in most and worse in few areas.
So consider Lg Optimus G/HTC One or Butterfly/Galaxy S4/Xperia Z/ZL and upcoming Lg Optimus G PRO

I m not sure whether One X will get the update or not but X+ will surely get the update.

Except LG G rest are out of my budget. Also I bought GS3 second hand & used for 2 months only.
where ???
A couple of days back, Xperia Z was available for around 34.8k on shopclues.
Check local market and try to bargain as much as you can, you will be able to get for 34.5k

Check tradus, and one can even buy it from indiatimes.

Ask kapilove77 he bought his ZL for 31k two weeks back
Local market is NOT croma reliance digital and other big stores who just loot the customers.

Ok guys thanks for all your responses. I have Extended my budget & now getting LG Optimus G for rs 30900/-

Any comments/suggestion are welcome.
Not a power seller. Also don't trust ebay any more & as my 2 refunds are still in progress, 1 is from more than a month. Ebay sucks.

Could you let me know where you getting it for 30,990. I was also confused between HOX+ and Optimus G. But overheating issues, battery issues and lower RAM processing speed tilted my decision towards G. Only thing concerning me are accesories for G, I cannot find good covers anywhere.
Rohan M I guess you should look at that aspect also cos back side is Glass and I am not sure if you can keep it without cover!
I am in Nashik.
