Comparison review
The HTC One X has a global score of 65.2, which is a bit better than the CAT S42's 59.4 overall score. Both phones in this review have Android OS (Operating System), but HTC One X has a newer 4.2.2 version while CAT S42 has Android 10, so it provides you a lot of extra features. HTC One X is an much older cellphone than CAT S42, but it's a lot thinner and lighter anyway.
HTC One X's processing unit is very similar to the CAT S42 one, because although the HTC One X has a lower amount of RAM memory, and they both have 4 cores, it also counts with a graphics processing unit. The HTC One X has a brighter display than CAT S42, because although it has a little bit worse resolution of 1280 x 720px and a quite smaller display, it also counts with a quite greater display pixel density.
The CAT S42 has a much bigger storage to install applications and games than HTC One X, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal storage capacity, the CAT S42 also has an external memory slot that admits a maximum of 128 GB. The CAT S42 has a really longer battery lifetime than HTC One X, because it has a 4200mAh battery capacity.
The HTC One X shoots a little bit better videos and photos than CAT S42, although it has a back camera with way less mega pixels and a worse (Full HD) video resolution, they both have a same size aperture.
Even being the best phone between the ones we are comparing, HTC One X is also very cheap compared to the other phones, which makes it an obvious call.
