A Closer Look At The Sense UI On The Impressive HTC One X

The HTC One X is the manufacturer's latest flagship smartphone.  It has many impressive features and in this article I will focus on the HTC Sense UI, which is the manufacturers' custom Android interface.

The HTC Sense UI is found on all HTC phones which run the Android operating system. It is HTC's custom Android interface, and is comparable in some respects to Samsung's TouchWiz. HTC Sense offers plenty of benefits to users of smartphones like the HTC One X. These include additional customisation options and a different aesthetic appearance to the stock Android interface.

The HTC One X is among the first batch of HTC phones which comes with the new version of Android pre-installed. This is v4.0 of the popular platform which is also known as 'Ice Cream Sandwich'. To take advantage of the new version of Android, HTC has created a new version of Sense, which is version 4.0, and has many features optimised for the new ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ version of Android.

The HTC Sense UI has many benefits. One of the things that the software is well known for is its customisation options. Users are able to assign up to 7 individual homescreens, which can be customised with apps and widgets as well as aesthetic enhancements like different wallpapers, of which there is a library of images and graphics to choose from. Also users are able to assign photos captured using the phone's digital camera for this purpose.

Several native Android apps have also have a Sense makeover. This has several benefits such as an alternative appearance as well as integration with a number of native apps. For example, the email, phone and messaging apps are all integrated with an HTC Sense app called the People app. This displays contact information for all platforms for a single contact, and offers shortcuts to take you directly to whichever means of contact you wish to carry out with the contact. These include the aforementioned means as well as Facebook and Twitter as well as instant messaging formats.

The HTC Sense UI also allows users of the HTC One X to download a variety of content. Of course, apps can be downloaded from Google Play, whereas further apps and widgets specifically optimised for the HTC One X are available from HTC Hub. HTC Sense also includes a number of apps whereby multimedia content can be downloaded. One example is HTC Watch. This provides access to a library of movie and TV show titles, which can be purchased or rented.

As you can see, the HTC Sense UI is an appealing feature, and the HTC One X is the perfect phone to showcase its benefits.
