Rumored iPhone 5S casing

Leaked pictures showed the casing of iPhone 5S is identical to iPhone5. It is believed that the exterior of the casing is made of plastic polycarbonate and less costly to build. Probably, Apple is now targeting the younger market or those with low disposable income.

Review: What's in a HTC One X+?

HTC One X+ 

In 2012, HTC had introduced HTC One X+. It ha a bigger battery and have Android Jelly Bean for its OS.

Compare with One X

One X is the first handset to show off a quad core power and this important feature upgrade from the Taiwanese company includes a 1GB RAM and 1.7GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 processor.

There's not much difference between the original One X and One X+. It has a 4.7 inches Super LCD screen and  8MP snapper that's facing the rear. One X+ has daster processor, more storage, newer Android verision and more storage.

A Phone to Love

Overall, the phone's design is nice and comfortable to touch with its rounded corners and soft-touch plastic. Because its edges are slight angled inward, you can easily hold the 4.7" while viewing its 1280x720 LCD display. The screen itself is fascinating though it's not yet an AMOLED display.

Like other HTC Android Phones, in the bottom, it has the three capacitive buttons. One is for list of recent apps used, the other is for back and the last one is for home. 

With regard to battery life, One X+ can last for several days if moderately use but it cannot last until bed time if you use it regularly and listen to streaming music. Take note too that the battery is non-replaceable.

Its camera is equal to that of Samsung so it can produce great 8MP photos. The application for camera has quick access to commonly used features such as flash and filter effects.

The features of HTC One X+ are fairly better than other smartphones considering  its huge storage at 64GB and its Beats Audio integration so you can listen to music using headphones.
