CALL QUALITY/NETWORK SPEED
We tested the HTC One X on AT&T in the US. Because it has the 850MHz and 1900MHz UMTS bands, this means that it can access AT&T's 3G and HSPA+ network. On average we clocked download speeds of around 3Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up, which is slower than other AT&T HSPA+ devices that we've tested in this area. That said, the international One X isn't exactly intended for use in the USA, so it's likely that the One XL, coming to AT&T in May, will provide much faster data speeds, especially in areas that have LTE.
In terms of call quality, we'd rate the One X as above average, perhaps thanks to the noise cancellation provided by the dual-microphone configuration.
BATTERY LIFE
The HTC One X has average battery life. If you use the device moderately, you'll get through a full day without needing to recharge. Heavy use, especially when gaming, will result in a rapid draining of your battery.
PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY
Right now you can import an HTC One X from retailers across the ocean, such as Clove, for around $650 unlocked. It's available in white or gray. In May, AT&T will be releasing a dual-core version of the One X, the One XL, which will sell for $199. Then in June, Sprint gets its variant, the HTC EVO 4G LTE, for the same $199. Finally, we're likely to see Verizon with a similar device at some point this Spring.
PROS
+ Amazing display
+ Hardware is gorgeous with high build quality
+ Thin and light
+ Sense 4.0 is improved
+ 25GB Dropbox storage (for two years) included
+ Camera software is innovative
+ Beats audio noticeably improves audio quality
CONS
- Device is laggy at times
- Camera is just mediocre
- No microSD expansion
- No user-replaceable battery
REVIEW CONCLUSION
The One X marks HTC's attempt to undo its wrongs of last year, and it gets really close to doing just that. The hardware is stunning, the display is better than anything we've ever seen, and we applaud what HTC has done with Sense in making it feel less like clutter and more like an enhancement. But we're also surprised that the One X, which is the first smartphone to have the coveted Tegra 3 quad-core chip, isn't uncompromisingly fast. It's just not acceptable to see stutters in various places, like when opening a folder, tapping on a setting, or zooming in on a web page. We're inclined to encourage you to wait for the Snapdragon S4-variant of the HTC One X, which, while dual-core, is an evolution of Qualcomm's dual-core chips of years of past, so that hopefully all kinks have been worked out. The Tegra 3 is new, unproven, and as far as we can tell, not ready for prime time.
We rate the HTC One X a 4.5/5.

CALL QUALITY/NETWORK SPEED
We tested the Galaxy Nexus on both T-Mobile and AT&T. On both networks, call quality was fantastic with no dropped calls. The Nexus is an HSPA+ 21mbps device, meaning that in perfect conditions it should be able to get a bit over 10mbps down over a strong HSPA+ network. In the Philadelphia area, we clocked speeds of about 4mbps down and 1.3mbps up on AT&T. Our results with T-Mobile were much higher with one run bringing in 10.5mbps down and 1.6mbps up.
BATTERY LIFE
Battery life on the Galaxy Nexus is a bit below average. With heavy use, expect to not make it through an entire day. With moderate use, you'll make it through one day. With light use, you'll go about two days before needing to plug in.
PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY
The Galaxy Nexus is coming to Verizon with LTE and will sell for around $299. Right now you can get a GSM Galaxy Nexus to work on AT&T and T-Mobile from retailers such as Clove for £429 or around $670.
PROS
+ Android 4.0 is fast, polished, and innovative
+ 720p display is gorgeous
+ Great performance
+ Buttonless, thin design is svelte and sexy
+ Penta-band GSM with HSPA+ will work with most networks
CONS
- Display uses pentile display matrix
- Battery life is below average
- Lacks expandable storage
- Camera is below average and only captures 5MP shots
REVIEW CONCLUSION
The Galaxy Nexus is the best smartphone on the market right now. But right around the corner we'll see a device that is likely to fix every shortcoming of the Galaxy Nexus (battery life, poor camera, pentile display): the Galaxy S III. While no details of this phone have been confirmed, it's pretty clear we'll get a device that has a similar look and feel to the Galaxy Nexus, but with Samsung's next-generation Exynos CPU (which will either be a 2.0GHz dual-core, or some kind of quad-core), a better camera, improved battery life, and most likely the debut of the Super AMOLED "Plus" HD display.
If you're in the smartphone market and want the best, get the Galaxy Nexus. But if you can wait until the spring, keep an eye out for the Galaxy S III.
We rate the Samsung Galaxy Nexus a 4/5.

MOTOROLA DROID 4
rating:4.5/5
The Motorola Droid 4 is the latest in Verizon's Droid family. This iteration of the popular brand includes a dual-core processor and 1080P/8MB camera, and like the Original Droid, a very usable slide-out keyboard. It's also the thinnest Droid yet, and it packs 4G LTE. Is the Droid 4 the ultimate hardware keyboard device with Android?

- - 1GB RAM
- - 16GB Internal Memory

SOFTWARE
The Droid 4 is powered by Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread with MotoBlur layered on top. It comes pre-packaged with Amazon Kindle, Blockbuster, GoToMeeting, Let's Golf 2, Madden NFL 2012, MOG Music, MOTOPRINT, Netflix, NFL Mobile, Quickoffice, Slacker, Slingbox, VideoSurf, My Verizon Mobile, Verizon Video, V CAST Apps, V CAST Tones, and VZ Navigator.

BATTERY LIFE
The Droid 4 includes a 1,785 mAh battery. While that's a decent size, it's nothing terribly noteworthy. Like other phones in the Droid line up, the Droid 4's battery is non-removable. This is a deal-breaker for many. In daily use under 3G data, the Droid 4's battery was more than large enough to make it through the day and into the night.

PROS
+ Best slide-out keyboard around
+ Great call quality
+ Has a microSD card slot for expandability
CONS
- Non-removable battery
- Lower resolution display than competing phones
- Doesn't run Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich (yet?)
- Doesn't come with headphones or microsdcard
CONCLUSION
The Droid 4 has gotten almost everything right: it's sized right for a phone that includes a keyboard and feels very durable, has acceptable battery life, a fast processor, and a nice display. While the Gingerbread OS is disappointing, the device still functions well and provides all the features that the typical user needs.
