Karthik R 246 Report post Posted March 2, 2012 Beats audio is mere marketing gimmick still Htc Rezound is one hell of a device going by the specs. Now the proof comes after three months - Beats Audio available on any rooted Android running Gingerbread "Beats Audio enabled HTC phones have nothing to do with hardware; it’s all software – essentially it's just an advanced equalizer. Two modders over at XDA have ported Beats Audio into a mod that will work on any Gingerbread or Gingerbread-based ROM. The downloadable zip file can easily be flashed via ClockworkMod. The profile is then enabled on the device with no additional app needed. Like all audio, the appeal of Beats Audio does depend on personal preference. Some claim they love the sound, while others say they don’t hear a difference." You can head on over to XDA to download everything you need to add Beats Audio to your rooted Gingerbread phone 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st_7 138 Report post Posted April 7, 2012 HTC recently announced(in MWC 2012) their new flagship phone "HTC ONE X" as a part of their new series "HTC ONE", in this so called HTC ONE Series there are HTC ONE S, HTC ONE V & HTC ONE XL where HTC ONE S is a mid-range phone, HTC ONE V is an entry level phone. Some of these phones already released in the market. Here are the details: HTC ONE X or HTC ONE XL: Out of HTC ONE series the HTC ONE X is the flagship one, it has Nvdia Tegra 3 Quad core(penta-core, if you wanna call it) processor, and has an outstanding HD(720p) display which HTC calls as "Super LCD2" which is of non-pentile one(for your information). This display has already got excellent reviews for its quality, viewing angles & true colour production(no over-saturated colours as is the case with AMOLED Screens). All reviews say one thing that is the screen of HTC ONE X is the best in the Industry(as of now). And one of the striking aspect of this display is that there's virtually no space between the glass and the display, so the colors and icons seem to nearly be floating on top, which also helps to get some excellent viewing angles. To add to that it has one of the best camera around in the present smartphones which has 28mm lens and an f/2.0 aperture capable of shooting 1080p @30fps. HTC ONE XL is nothing but a LTE version of ONE X & bound for AT&T USA. HTC ONE XL has Qualcomn Snapdragon 1.5Ghz Dual Core processor because of Nvdia Tegra 3 processor's incompatability with LTE. The Specs: Dimensions: 134.36 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm Weight: 130g (w/ battery) 4.7-inch Super LCD2 capacitive touchscreen (720 x 1280) Corning Gorilla Glass Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Sense 4.0 Quad-core 1.5GHz Tegra 3 processor or Qualcomm Snapdragon (depending on LTE radio) GPU: ULP GeForce HTC ImageSense 1GB RAM 32GB built-in storage 8-megapixel (rear) camera w/ AF and LED flash 1.3-megapixel (front) camera Non-removable 1800mAh battery Bluetooth v4.0 w/ A2DP NFC capable MicroUSB 3.5mm audio output Beats audio 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
st_7 138 Report post Posted April 7, 2012 The Second Phone in the HTC ONE series is "HTC ONE S", it's a kind of mid-range phone in the HTC ONE lineup, it's fits between ONE X & ONE V. But don't be fooled by it's mid-range tag as it packs some powerful specs which can be compete with high-end phones of say 2-3 months ago(such is the pace with which the Android smartphone market is moving). According to the reviews it's one of the sleekest & sexiest phone you see until now. It has same Qualcomn Snapdragon 1.5 Ghz Dual Core Krait processor as the LTE(AT&T) model of the ONE X. It also has 4.3 Super AMOLED Display with qhd(540 x 960) resolution. It also has same camera as of ONE X. The Specs: Dimensions: 130.9 x 65 x 7.8mm Weight: 119.5g 4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive display (540 x 960) HTC Sense v4.0 Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) 1GB RAM 16GB built-in storage Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor GPU: Adreno 225 Bluetooth v4.0 w/ A2DP MicroUSB 8MP (rear) camera w/ AF and LED flash 1.3MP (front) camera 3.5mm headphone jack Beats audio 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
