yes one x camera is nothing to shout about but i think it has potential when HTC update the camera apps. the hardware itself got potential to be better, but of course it cannot be better than pureview 808.
but i have to give credit to its superiority in taking photo and video in low light condition compared to other android devices.
Most of the phones with the Exmor sensor does take good photos in low light. The camera is indeed super fast and love the feature of taking photos while recording but all the photos came out very bad quality. When you enlarge its blur
blur or noticeable noise when enlarge or view in actual size also happened in DSLR or m43 cameras. i used to own DLSR and m43 camera, if you view pictures in actual size(pixel peeping), no camera will satisfy you except perhaps full frame DSLR?
any camera viewed at actual size have a possibility of blur. But 1024 x 768 my htc one X already bad even in daylight.
Example this taken by Nokia Lumia 800 same 8MP with HTC OneX

You dont define the value of the phone by the processor core. Could it be the camera one of a kind hardware cost that much or even more?
Bigger sensor newer technology isnt that where the cost is more expensive because they need to do research, special mould, testing and commissing compare to just adding a faster chip and everything the same? Android phones lens do not have any certification thats why most of them are below par but selected models of nokia phones are carl zeiss certified
Now they fit such technology into a mobile phone and you are paying just a fraction of the price with so much more additional features on a mobile phone.
They have 160 years of optical experience that is what you are paying for

Like this photo i keep explain to ppl but they cant understand. When you compare Xperia S 12MP vs 8MP even the Lumia 800 wins because of the carl zeiss lens.

The software needs tunning but the hardware is amazing to achieve such results but other phones without additional lens you cant even come close with such detail.
