HTC One X with Tegra 3 and HSPA+ available for pre-order for $799 at NCIX
We know Rogers will be launching the dual-core LTE version of the HTC One X sometime this Spring, but a Canadian retailer is getting ready to import and release the quad-core Tegra 3 HSPA+ version for a pretty penny.
NCIX.com, one of Canada’s largest electronics retailers, has the Tegra 3-based One X up for preorder for $799.99, which supports download speeds up to 42Mbps. It will be unlocked out of the box, though we’re not sure which colour(s) NCIX will be offering.
While the price is subject to change, it likely won’t drop by much when it is released. That is because the retailer is not subsidizing the device in any way; even devices bought for full price at a carrier like Rogers are slightly subsidized because they are locked.
As we’ve shown you already, the Tegra 3-based One X is not going to blow away the dual-core Snapdragon S4 version in benchmarks, but it will likely win in the battery department, though by how much remains to be seen. We can’t wait to review the Rogers unit for ourselves, but in the meantime let us know if you plan to pick up the unlocked Tegra 3 version. Just remember before you purchase, NCIX says that “This product cannot be exchanged. Final sale only. No returns or refunds.”

Way overpriced… just wait until it officially comes here. I can’t see it pricier than 699, with 650 most likely being the price.

This one has a quad core processor, while the Rogers version is a dual core.
For people who think the number of cores is important, this is the one to get.
It’s like some people shop for cars based on the number of cylinders the engine has. More cylinder doesn’t always mean faster, but some people feel the need for extra cylinders.

If the rogers version is slightly cheaper, just buy it outright and unlock it at home!

It will drop to 600-650$ the day it becomes subsidized by Rogers. This is Expansys’ business model though and is nothing surprising or appaling. They target people that want this phone first at all costs, and some people can and will afford it.
My SGS2 running CM9 Stock ICS is more than good enough though, but I can see people wanting this, especially for the camera.

Sorry meant to say NCIX. Funny thing is I checked expansys.ca and it was 789$ there. Woot, save 10$ people, buy it at expansys.ca!

Sweet, I finally discovered something that was tip-worthy, even if the price did make me die a little inside.

most probably an import from UK or wherever this phone is released first
Also I love how they don’t give any shipment date. They could wait 3 months after the release if they want to.

I’ve gotten a chance to play with this phone for a bit. Though it was the white one with polycarbonate shell, Rogers is getting the one pictured with the matte back.
If you can tolerate bigger phones such as the Razr and Nexus this is by far the best phone on the market.
The screen is absolutely spectacular, the way it is basically laminated on the glass and the viewing angles are almost 180. It’s better than the iPhone screen and I’m an iPhone 4S user.
Performance is blazing fast (like no lag), Camera is superb and the taking full 8 MP images while 1080p video recording is an extremely useful feature. Also Sense 4.0 isn’t horrible at all, though I like Stock ICS multitasker over the Sense one. The white polycarbonate shell looked really good. Not sure how this one looks.
If the battery isn’t craptacular on it this is the Android phone to get.

Will this version take a micro sim? My understanding is the quad core version is sim free. How would a sim free phone work on a Canadian carrier?

You just insert your sim card in it. Not sure if it’s mini or micro SIM.

It’s a micro sim for this phone. You can go see your carrier to have them give you a new micro sim. Or you can cut your own sim up (though I would recommend reading about it a bit before trying).

Hopefully the One S will be cheaper. That’s the one I’m aiming for. S is for Sexy…..unless Apple uses it.

A lot of the phones on NCIX use European frequencies for 3G. Does this phone support NA frequencies? Is it perhaps penta-band?

I might drop such an amount if the battery was twice the size it currently is…. actually, no, no I wouldn’t. This is exactly what scares me, new technology comnbined to a shitty battery. I’ll wait for the new Huawei XL. thanks.

my only concern is the battery on this device…. and unfortunately it’s not removable. so if you’re out of juice while you’re out of home or the office, you’re screwed.
