HTC phones are good, no doubt about that. I have owned a a HTC one X. HTC handsets have better support than that samsung bloatware but their phones have been constantly criticized for low battery life. But these criticism falls on deaf ears. All I mean to say is yo would expect them to at least make that variable comparable to what Google/Motorola or Samsung are offering with same price.
Pros-
-Killer Look
-Efficient Operation
-No Lagging problem
Cons-
-Battery dies faster than an iPhone
-Camera quality seems like VGA and not 20MP
