what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the HTC One x+ this currently represents the top of the range in the HTC lineup at least in the Android camp and that's because it packs some pretty serious specs including 4G LTE it's got a Tegra 3 processor at 1.7 gigahertz and that's a quad core processor 64 gigabytes of storage one gig of ram and a 4.7 inch Super LCD to sporting 720p in terms of resolution it's also got a nice camera at 8 megapixels with an f2 lens which is fairly wide at 28 millimeters that's a lot of information to swallow right there let's jump into the unboxing and get a closer look at the device also we've got to go through of course the other items included in the box so put the device to the side for a moment and then we'll look at it in great detail as the video moves forward so also included you've got a couple of stickers not really sure what these are for there's also some paperwork from HTC as usual and you've got a small little device for inserting and extracting your SIM card here's what the power brick looks like actually not much of a brick at all here it's pretty comfortable to hold and fairly portable as well and here's your USB cable standard micro USB to USB for charging from the wall or from your laptop or anywhere else you can plug in a USB this just goes over the specs one more time as you guys can see this device is beats branded so you're supposedly going to get a little bit better audio performance out of it maybe a slightly improved headphone amplifier maybe a slightly better speaker on the back of the device one of the most striking things to me here is how unusual the surface on the back is instead of going with a glossy finish as we see in most devices HTC has chosen to go with a more rubberized rugged kind of finish here it's still soft and smooth but it looks like it's going to be more durable and resist fingerprints a little bit better as you can see the camera dominates the top portion of the phone there's also an LED flash there and if you look at the front then you're gonna see basically all screen or at least mostly screen this is your 4.7 inch 720p display as I said earlier the forward-facing camera is on the front of the device in the top corner that's also where your speaker is for making phone calls of course and on the bottom you'll find three capacitive touch buttons with dedicated back lights on the side is where you'll see your connection port for charging the device that's your microUSB and on the other side is where your volume rocker is the top is home to the power button as well as your headphone jack and the bottom is of course where your microphone is so people can hear you when you're speaking as I said earlier the capacitive buttons are backlit and dedicated so let's go ahead and power on the device and as you guys know anytime you power up a new device there's gonna be a setup process so rather than make you guys sit through that boring stuff I'll do that off-camera and then we'll jump back to the actual home screen you know actually being booted into the device so you guys can get a sense for how snappy it is so here's a look at HTC's Sense UI which I know a lot of you guys are already familiar with so you've seen this all before it's fairly snappy after all you've got quite a bit of hardware here to push out those animations as you flip between screens etc and the screen is actually really nice - really bright this isn't full brightness you're looking at right now it would have been incredibly overexposed if it was full brightness so getting a nice screen as well now I'm gonna go ahead and use the web browser here to boot up YouTube take a look at how it performs this is on Wi-Fi of course I actually don't have a SIM card in the device right now so I'm gonna go actually to youtube.com slash beast feed and if you don't know what that is that's actually my second channel here on YouTube and it was neglected for a little while but I'm back into it now I just made two videos in the last week so if you guys haven't checked those out if you haven't subscribed to my second channel please go do that now I'll put a link down in the description you probably will enjoy it if you enjoyed this show if you enjoy unbox therapy you might just enjoy my second channel the beast feed and if you're looking at the screen of the phone right here you can see that this thumbnail right here is fairly enticing on its own that's the thumbnail from one of my most recent videos so go check that stuff out let me know what you think I appreciate you guys going over there so show me some support and subscribing to my second channel as well so let's talk more about this phone let's take a closer look at how it compares to the Nexus 4 and to the Galaxy Note 2 at least in size terms you can see that it's about the same size as the Nexus 4 but I think it's a little bit thinner definitely a little bit more comfortable to hold the curves are all in the right location it is packing that 8 megapixel camera with a nice f/2 lens so you know it's gonna perform fairly well when it comes to photography and video performance as well it'll do HD video and it has a forward facing camera as I mentioned earlier this is gonna be perfect for your video conferencing Skype etcetera so I'll go ahead and flip around the camera real quick so you can get an understanding of how that operates there you can see my camera and my shooting setup that's because we're activating the forward-facing camera here so pretty straightforward stuff this is just an unboxing afterall so you get a basic idea of how the device works and how the device looks and at this point you know the most striking thing for me is probably the build quality of the construction and how it fits in your hand for a large device it feels incredibly comfortable and yes I'm still calling 4.7 inches large even even in the current scope of things I'm gonna be going to CES on Saturday and I've heard a number of huge devices that are going to get launched so who knows if we're gonna call 4.7 large in the future but as of right now that is still on the larger side side of things as far as devices are concerned anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this unboxing if you did please remember to leave a like and favorite as it does help out a bunch and as I said earlier in this video please go and check out my second channel the beast feed the link is in the description I really appreciate you guys support on that project as well alright thanks as always okay catch you on the next one later
