alright what's going on folks this is clayton over to android authority calm today i'm bringing you a head-to-head comparison between the LG optimus 4x HD and the AT&T variant of the HTC One X these phones are both super hot right now the great devices they're powerful built well their high-end Android smartphone so we're going to put them head-to-head and show you which one comes out on top anyways we'll get into some of the hardware software and native features of each of these phones in a minute first we'll go over the build quality both your really solid in the hands they're built nice they're just about equal in weight and they feel really nice on our HTC we've got a sealed in battery that's eighteen hundred milliamps so not too big but you know it's up there for smart phones these days and in the LG we've got a 2140 milliamp battery which is actually removable and you can probably get extended batteries here in the near future for the LG so the battery life goes to the LG on that one anyways we look on top we've got our headphone jack on each and on the HTC One X we're featuring Beats Audio let's have a micro USB here and we've got our volume rocker not one be LG optimus 4x HD we've got our volume rocker right here as you can see and we've got our power button here on top micro USB on bottom anyways the cameras on each of these devices are both 8 megapixel we've got some flash we've got 1080p HD video recording and then we've got a 1.3 megapixel on the lg optimus 4x HD and we have a 1.3 megapixel on the HTC One X as well now both of these front-facing cameras are capable of a 720p video capture so we'll just pop the display on each of these phones as you can see the LG optimus 4x HD is bearing a 4.7 inch HD IPS LCD screen we've got some capacitive buttons there on bottom we've got our home back and our menu button and then our HTC One X also has a 4.7 inch HD screen now this is a super lcd2 screen both have 720p x 1280 resolution ways we'll have a lot this we've got our capacitive buttons down here on the HTC One X the back home and the recents so upon locking each device we notice that we're running different UIs both do rub me Ice Cream Sandwich operating system from Android but the Optimus is running the three-point Oh Optimus UI and these senses running the HTC Sense four-point-oh you I the both of these two eyes are just fine they are carrier skins we don't have stock Android on either of these phones so before we get into any more hardware will just make notice some of the differences in you I between these two phones now I found our first look and feel we notice that we can expand the dock bar on each of these phones simply drag and I calm down and we can create a folder in the dock bar of the HTC One X or we can drag an icon in and actually expand the number of icons we're holding in the dock bar of the lg optimus 4x HD now the cool thing about the 4x HD is that every single icon is customizable and resizable so we can choose the Edit here and we'd actually be able to choose a which icon we want to represent that and we can even create a photo icon and resize it now the HTC One X lacks that feature but much like the LG optimus you can grab an icon move it to a folder very simple unlike the galaxy s3 where are they TouchWiz UI makes that a little difficult anyways we've got a native widgets on each a lot of cool stuff we've got a lot of clocks with HTC as usual we've got some cool clocks and weather widgets with the LG as well as will pull down a notification bar so you can see in the eighteen t version of the HTC One X we don't have any notifications so it's lacking much of anything in the notification bar whereas on the lg we have all of our different toggles we've got a quick memo of sound Wi-Fi Bluetooth all that stuff and we can actually edit which toggles appear there now we also can access the settings from each of these toggle menus here and basically have the same amount of settings on each of course we've got our Wi-Fi our network settings Bluetooth mobile on each we have NFC we can use the Android Beam to transmit data apps videos you name it HTC we can actually personalized by going through here we can choose the scene now we can go through and HTC travel play work all that stuff not much like the themes on the HTC One X as we can see here we do have some themes on the lg optimus accessed by going on the home screen options so anyways we go to our theme we've got Optimus bids cozy wall marshmallow know what actually is cool about the LG is that when you choose a theme it seems the whole entire thing icon packs your menus your widgets everything whatsoever we can also change the font now that's cool about both phones they each have that on the HTC we've got our wallpaper style options here we can just do that by scrolling here and clicking the wallpaper on the lg optimus 4x HD we've got to display in gestures on each go to our gesture features we have tilt sensitivity we can now flip devices to stop incoming calls we can enable our three finger gestures on the HTC there because we've got our apps can manage our apps from here as well we've got some power saving features on both and of course we have our developer options because their ice cream sandwich devices if we go to the about phone we can see that on the lg optimus 4x HD we're running Android 403 and then we are also running the Android 403 on the HTC One X here we have the sense version 4.0 and like I said earlier we have the Optimus UI version three pointer on here they're getting into some of the native features at each of these phones possess that are really cool we'll start with the lg optimus 4x HD pull down the status bar here we can go to our quick memo now what the quick memo allows you to do is actually open itself up drawn any application you're in no matter what your viewing on the phone we can actually just use the quick memo application do this draw anywhere you want it's all good there we can save it we can erase and we can share with people so if we're in a nap want to create a memo show some people some stuff send them that on the LG we can access our recent ass by holding the home menu that's where we will swipe them away much like the stock ice cream sandwich android task manager then on HTC one x we have our dedicated button where we can swipe away simply by flicking upwards takes a little more time and it's more tedious but it does have a nicer user interface this looks pretty cool so we do have our camera and when we're just shooting a photo we can click both are actually pretty fab can access our camera options on the top here on the HTC One X choose if we want to use the main camera or the front-facing camera got our self timer our image resolution options video quality options the duration the white balance video camera options we've got our settings here on the LG optimus 4x HD got our flash brightness focus image size the white balance of course geo-tagging that's a recent feature and a lot of phones then we switch our front facing camera there then we'd actually have to press this button to choose whether or not we wanted to record or to take a picture while on the HTC One X we can simply either choose the recorder to take a picture anyways HTC One X does have the burst mode that the LG optimus 4x HD is lacking so web browsing is going to be basically about the same thing we've got our controls down here for add bookmark saved and tabs as well as our menu up here on the HTC One X where we can enable flash player and view the desktop site and we can actually pull up this tab here on the lg optimus go back and forward create a new window create a new tab and then go to our bookmarks up here is where we have our tab manager where we can slide to the left and right and on our tab manager for the HTC One X we actually can scroll through like this now they're basically the same web so it's not worth getting too much each of these phones are awesome guys i would suggest checking them out for yourselves if you're in the market for a high-end smartphone both are sexy they're powerful they're fast they're going to get the job done so stay tuned with android authority calm guys because is plenty more where this came from I
