So here's mine.
First I'd like to say what everyone has said; The One x+ is what the one x should of been,HTC should of waited untill it was able to make such a phone.
Form factor- Is HTC,so you can't expect nothing but the best.
Battery-When not in use,the 5th companion core that clocked at ~500mhz takes over, and the phone barely drops anything over a long period. I unplugged my 1x+ at 6 and after a period of 4hrs & 30min(I fell asleep again lol) it only dropped 6%. Which is awsome,my 1x would of dropped like 20%. When playing Graphic intense games like horn,nfs,mc3,the dark meadow,etc. The phone tends to get really warm around the bottom right of the camer lense,and battery drops pretty quickly,especially with tegra 3 optimized games(they utilize all 4 cores)
Display-Same good 'ole display in the 1x.
Camera- Now I know they claim to have put the same camera they used in the HTC one x,but I noticed that pictures weren't as bright as they were on my one x,pictures were just as good but only not as bright.
FF Camera- A lot better then the original one x's FF Camera,the 1.6Mp shooter is a lot better and removes a bunch of the "noiseiness" /haze from the pictures.
OS- Let me start off by saying.. DAM.. HTC sense 4+ and jellybean are all you could ask for to make a smooth phone. Project Butter really does make the phone amazingly smooth. The new skins that come with 4+ are a plus too,they look really nice(I'll include a picture of one of the one I'm usuing)
Storage- If your like me,and like playing games on your phone,and have lots of music and pics on your phone then you'll love the one x+'s 64,unpartioned(meaning when they say you get 64Gb,You Get 64Gb) Gb's. The storage isn't separate like on some other phones,it's all one "bank" that all files on the phone go to(I'll include a pic)
So all in all,it's a really great smartphone. I'm glad I got it instead of the note 2,HTC couldn't of made a better phone.

From my ONE X+ :-D

AWESOME. No. 1 on my list for next Android phone... for now :)

What do you think of the Nexus 4?I'm guessing you are not satisfied with it since you have a One X + on the way...

I love the nexus 4 but the battery life is very questionable. Lack of LTE sucks but I really don't notice the difference unless I do a speed test. Loved my original one x so I gotta give this one a try!

OK one little fly in the ointment is I wonder if the S4 will be better than the Tegra 3.

Isn't their rumored M7 device using the S4 instead of the Tegra 3 this time around, that might tell ya something.

Maybe HTC will continue to use both. You know.? The s4 pro seems to be designed more towards horsepower and productivity whereas the tegra 3 is more suited for gaming(not saying that tegra 3 doesn't have any horsepower)

So far I like most everything about the phone. There are a few more stutters and glitches then the Note 2, the screen is amazing, but this wifi thing is really becoming a burr in my arse. I need wifi to get through the day because the battery won't last that long on LTE. I'm even toying with the idea of going back to the 920 and then bounce between Android and WP8 when I get bored of one. Plus the 920 is getting a update today to address alot of issues and to fix the camera.

Got my HOX+ initial impressions are positive for the soft touch finish, much better than the HOX grey I had. Phone feels good, discharged it after installing a custom rom and setting it all up how I like it. Im thinking i like the N4's screen better, the colors aren't as vivid but the sharpness is slightly notable. Still torn on loosing the N4 though, if it only held battery life like an S3 and had LTE it would be worth even $150 more than their asking price.

I couldn't wait anymore so I got a OneX (not Plus) today. Using TrickDroid. Stock and TrickDroid Android 4.1.x no issues with WiFi (802.11n 5ghz) here at home so far.

Yes, my Christmas present. Not sure if I've been nice but I sure as hell worked hard this year!!!

Getting a HOX+ soon (ordered it at the beginning of December however thanks to phones 4 U will only be getting it in early January).

Upgrading from my severely aging HTC Wildfire, the X+ is going to be such a dream after using the wildfire for 2 years, its struggles to run Froyo and 95% of games don't play on it (even quadrant just crashes) the ability for functions to actually work as they are designed is going to be so nice. :D

So excited, already got a case for it just need the bloody phone now ;)

You're gonna love it. One X itself is sweet. Plus... ah will be nice. Tegra3 I'm finding is a really decent GPU... 200mhz difference notwithstanding.
