The HTC One X comes with the much improved Android v 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the HTC Sense 4 user interface. The Nokia 808 Pureview on the other hand comes with the Symbian Belle operating system.
Android is one of the most loved operating system available in the market with unlimited possibilities to download applications. Also the new Ice Cream Sandwich is one of the better operating system available with good energy management and features. Symbian belle on the other hand is the Operating system which is quite stagnant for some time and does not compare with the Android Operating system in terms of looks and features.
The Nokia 808 Pureview has a 1300MHz single core processor while the HTC One X on the other hand comes with a real fast 1500MHz Quad core processor with Tegra 3 chipset. Hence the HTC One X will definitely be the first choice for Smartphone users who use their phones for heavy applications and multitasking.
Display Screen
Both the phones feature multi-touch capacitive and scratch resistant Gorilla glass screens. The Nokia 808 Pureview has an AMOLED screen size of 4.0" and resolution 360 x 640 pixels. The HTC on the other hand has a larger 4.7" display screen with a higher resolution of 720x 1280 pixels.
Clearly the HTC One X is the winner here with a much larger screen and resolution.Compare Camera
The HTC One X has an 8 Megapixel camera with LED flash. It can record HD videos at 1920 x 1080 pixels and a secondary video camera of 1.3 Mp. The Nokia 808 Pureview on the other hand is a class in itself with a 41 Mp sensor camera (Effective 38 Mp in 4:3 and 34Mp in 16:9). It comes with a Xenon flash for low ligcht photography and supports HD video recording at 1920 x 1080 pixels. It has a 1/1.2" sensor which is bigger than any other smartphone or even high end point and click cameras. 
Clearly Nokia 808 Pureview is the first choice if you want to use your smartphone for some serious photography. Memory and design of HTC One X and Nokia 808 Pureview
The HTC one X comes with 1024 MB RAM and 32 GB inbuilt memory. It however lacks an external memory card slot. Nokia 808 pureview on the other hand has 512 MB RAM and 1024 MB ROM and an inbuilt memory space of 16 GB. It supports microSD cards upto 32 GB.
Things are pretty much same here, however if you store all your documents and multimedia files in your phone, then the Nokia 808 Pureview with external memory card support is the better choice.
Both the phones are available in bar form. HTC One X has a dimension of 5.29 x 2.75 x 0.35" and is slightly bigger than the Nokia 808 Pureview with 4.88 x 2.37 x 0.55. The Nokia Pureview is heavier with 169g as compared with 130g of HTC One X. Compare Battery life
The HTC One X comes with a large 1800 mAh Li polymer battery. The Nokia 808 Pureview on the other hand comes with a 1400 mAh Li-ion battery. As the HTC One X has a larger screen, the battery consumption is higher and hence the 1800 mAh battery does justice to the phone. Nokia 808 on the other hand has a smaller screen and Symbian belle operating system which is comparatively energy efficient compared to Android. Hence both the Smartphones will perform almost the same; however the Nokia 808 Pureview comes with Xenon flash which really drains out battery and so the 1400 mAh battery may not be sufficient. Price and availability
Both the phones are expected to hit the market in 2012 Q2 and at a price of approximately $666. Hence the Smartphone to get totally depends on your choice of features and price has nothing there to do much.
