Quadrant Advanced is by no means a great benchmark is varies way to much to make it valid, also the scores in the free and the paid are different, paid giving higher marks then the free version.
[HTC One X] spridell:
More tests

[HTC One X] meshoe:
If you look closely at the benchmark results, the CPU on HTC One X has ~30% more performance. SGS3 has double the points at ram (odd thing. double performance on ram? maybe HTC Sense filled up the ram or something) and ~30% more on I/O (this seems kinda big also. I doubt that there is such a big difference in internal memory performance). So, you can't say that Exynos is much better than Tegra, as the RAM and I/O is not part of that chip.

For what I saw, I am happy that I bought a HTC One X and didn't wait for SGS3.
[HTC One X] spridell:
Browsermark is Insane.

I wonder if thats a miss read or something.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Well, the Quadrant scores don't justify anything. They're just the crap because 'Quadrant Advanced' showed me 4500 on ONE X and 4600 on One S.

Second time it showed 6000 for X and 4900 for S.

Ridiculous!

Though I am still wondering why the 3D score of s3 is lower than Tegra 3...in quadrant..

[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Yeah I'd still rather have a tegra, with nvidia pushing and pushing for optimization with it. Not sure we will ever hear of a exynos zone lol, maybe we will, but I doubt it somehow.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Look wise HOX owns S3. But Samsung S3 will be selling like pancakes just because they will show off higer benchmark and better battery. People now a days are very obsessed with benchmark they don't care anything else. I have to give to Samsung that they decided to use 2100mAh battery that was a brillant move also the inclusion of MSD. Those where the 2 things people complained about HOX.
[HTC One X] Mafiatounes:
Samsung uses it's own Ram/storage fast memory that's why it is way faster in this regard than the One X. S2 had faster memory than all competitors.

Would like to see a Antutu bench wich is more accurate.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
40nm isn't exactly optimized..
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
No way you got 6000 for quadrant.

HTC cheated, on certain benchmark, they included it in there 2d rendering gpu list, quadrant, nenamark 2, existed there. Mike found this out, so they cheated a bit for their score.

The phone ran on Galaxy S3, I think 2D wasn't turned on in the developer settings, theres a huge difference with this on and off (Galaxy Nexus 30fps off, 60fps on). Plus Galaxy S3 is capped at 58.80fps, Nenamark2 (1280x720p, Highest 58.80, Average 58.80 and Lowest 58.80). I think samsung will change this to 60fps before release. But that already shows us it's better than Tegra and Adreno 225.
[HTC One X] treebill:
like i said totally different ever single time :) and either way benchmarks and hardware are for us geeky people in the real world its all about usability take the iPhone compared to android phones it's hardware sucks but its user friendly and everything is together and works well that's why it is still above android in market share.

also the s3 screen is to big for most people to use with one hand, the one x is just right on the limits.
[HTC One X] ajftl:
Yea then what happens when u actually use the phone on 3g or h? Lol. Slow loading pages. All this super fast phones quad core bla bla but they all 3 g at least or u GUYS in Europe/Asia. We need the LTE version. Like the one x LTE from att. Crazy fast pages loading
[HTC One X] HaTeC:
At least it won't have a flickering screen.... :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
To be fair, I don't really care about the benchmarks and specs now.

I'm just gonna wait for GSMarena and Anandtech to post up their battery score.

If it's better by quite an amount then I will get it.

[HTC One X] Goku80:
No offence to all you fanboys out there but first benchmarks mean jack ****. Yeah i said it jack ****. Second kinda disappointed by the specs of the S3. Really thought at least they would be pushing for minimum 1.5GB or RAM and well i am not all techy about chipsets but i know Exynos is better than Tegra from what i been reading. But regarding gaming developers of course would go first for Tegra and then so on. Correct me if i am wrong. Plastic again. Kinda bit of a let down. Surely ceramic i thought it would be. Yes the One X is plastic but again look at the design and the quality of the builds.

S3 really does have some nice features. But also the One X. S3 will be probably a lot more easier to crack and root were with the One X we only half ass jobs by HTC. Still not enough to make me want to swap though. Like the iphone a lot of people will be buying the S3 and to all those fans who take the piss out of the Iphone users might have to rethink again of calling someone else a sheep.

But anyway S3 still one of the top two gorgeous phones of the year and will smash all records...But do not count out apple out just yet. Whatever happens my One X is serving me perfectly and more than happy with my baby beast...Wanna wish to whoever gets the S3 congrats and enjoy your new baby it is a good phone in all. Just not one to make me jump ship

Also one more thing..S3 has more memory and if i heard correctly expandable memory upgrade as well. Sd cards if i am not mistaken kinda has its good points and its bad. At least we have cloud storage with the One X. Not that ever use it anyway..But again a plus for the s3 no matter what. And removable battery..But again battery life on my one x serves me well so no worries for that either. But again not dissing the phone just do not see the point jumping ship no matter if the s3 is better i am more than happy with my phone. just thought i give my opinion about the whole thing
[HTC One X] :
The iphone and the ipad have some of the most powerful hardware on the market.
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
The One X build quality is the same as Samsung, it use Polycabornate plus a metal frame around it I think.
[HTC One X] benjamin336:
Battery life is no problem, this is one of the reasons why we got custom rom's. MIUI or CM9 will easily double your phones battery life.

S3 vs hox? Couldn't care less, this phone is on stereoids!
[HTC One X] bloodhunter112:
No they don't -.-

It's their software that's smooth. That's all.

[HTC One X] ytwytw:
Before SGS3 release, there is already a LOCKED thread in this forum talking about HOX vs SGS3

and he said the SGS3 is definitely worse than HOX

After Announcement... yeah... I believe that now since SGS3 are mostly focus on software part, and the drawer touchwiz is so ugly...

and I am waiting some devs to copy those features from SGS3 to all the android users (port or copycat), then SGS3 will be pointless to buy...

Hardware site?! I dont care, since in North America it will be sure S4 Qualcomm dual-core CPU, and S4 is 28mm... advanced enough for my daily LTE usage and power management...

oh do you still care about warranty? oversea version doesnt have it at local, has to be mailed to a service center in europe or somewhere in Asia, and I have to say HTC CSR is good in north america here

forgot to mention the screen, pentite screen sucks... shame on Samsung
[HTC One X] maggot_ff:
Good job bringing personal preference into the equation. :p

I love the look of it. The HOX and SIII are the prettiest phones released in years, so I'm happy.
[HTC One X] abc27:
Not really.

Samsung uses the exact same plastics on their entire range of phones. From the top end flagships to their €49 Europa. It's thin, flimsy and cheap.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Well, I've got a feeling that SIII will be sold like hot cakes because of the hype Samsung has created. After the big success of SII people would lean towards SIII (who don't go deep in specs.)

But if one compares you find One X better between the two. (Apart from slightly larger battery and sd card slot; that'd worry few of us)

*Guys I don't own One X yet so I'm myself neutral here* :D

Sent from my HTC Desire
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Nope you are wrong. Look at the nexus and look at the One X and tell me which one feels better in the hand and feels more premium..There you will get your answer regarding the same with the S3. I am not dissing the phone down mate. Far from it. But still the HOX for me looks better all round..
[HTC One X] maggot_ff:
That's not true. The SIII uses polycarbonate with a coating that will be hard to scratch. At least they say it will be. And I'm neutral in all this. Just glad I waited to buy a HOX, now i can get some real impressions from both.
[HTC One X] miHah:
I/O can be optimised via costum roms and from my experience there are usualy ALOT of them for HTC devices. Other than that quadrant score is almost the same :)

Guys, go for the phone you want and you think it will suit you. If you trust benchmarks, go for the phone that is good at it. Than you can run them all over again and stare at the result and feel good.

I have to congratz samsung on some new inovative feautures. Those feautures make our phones get smarter and easier to use. I personaly prefer HTC but currently I have to admit Samsung is better at innovating. And maybe, just maybe, they don't have those big issues with defects (flicker n stuff with HOXes) but nevertheless its good to have competition. Without it we would still use Nokia 3310 :)

Enjoy your decision and remember: A GOOD PHONE IS A PHONE YOU WANT! Don't brag about something you don't want. :)

Make love! <3 :)

miHah
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well written post so far. well said my friend:)
[HTC One X] bloodhunter112:
The one x has flickering problems 0.o?? Is that fixable or is it in the hardware?
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Hmmm think I should of waited for the S3 to be released before upgrading. I'm not wow'd by the design and not a Touchwiz fan but Samsung had the sense to stick a decent battery in the phone (on paper) and I'm losing faith in this companion core I was sold on. My other bug bear is the camera the S2 camera takes better pictures and the video doesn't lag either, I expect the S3 will only improve on this.

Wireless charging sounds cool but the eye tracking and voice recognition crap is an Apple-like gimmick that I have no interested in whatsoever!

Think I'll give the HOX until the end of June, needs better battery management (firmware upgrade) or S-OFF with a good custom ROM for me to keep it.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
not all phones have flickering problems. i for one do not have them. most likely it has to do with software issues i would presume

I cant be bothered right now but search for the benchmarks the ipad kills every other tablet on most of them.

microSD, bigger, external battery, 32nm soc and a menu button instead of a crappy multitask insta wins for me.

The built in battery was my biggest gripe with the oneX before it was released, after it did there were enough complaints to keep me from buying.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
ha..ha..ha.. samsung fan boy do leave the HTC forum.

Here, some nice benchmarks for you:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/gsiii-benchmarks/#continued

Looks like the SGS3 was not what you really thought it was, huh? Must be dissapointing.

Watch HTC One X get ironed out as it slowly gets optimized for tegra 3 and watch it add in to some power whooping. If i'm not mistaken, the only difference a 32nm would have over a 40nm is power consumption and heat.

However, for that sole reason we have a companion core, though you're using the companion score as an excuse for decent battery. However, it's inexcusable, because the companion core is part of the phone and in the end it's how it performs overall.

I'm done with this guy
[HTC One X] Goku80:
crappy multitask if you dig through other forums there is request from people to include it in their phones..Check the s2 theme forums and the galaxy nexus. So if there are people out there requesting it and porting it over might not be so crap after all. built in battery yes i agree with you...bad decision but still. it is the way you setup your phone that counts towards on how the battery is tested. going by my own experience i can go a whole day without charging my phone. for me that is good battery;)

microsd. cloud service still good enough for me. some say it is good some say it is not.either way both are good for different reasons and both can be used on any device well most devices and cloud service can be accessed anywhere and on any pc or mac;)
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
The Galaxy S3 is pretty much better in all specification.

Another benchmark, finally by Anandtech using GLBenchmark.

The GPU is a beast. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5810/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-performance-preview
[HTC One X] Goku80:
benchmarks mean jack. for me that is at least...but you are right. give it a few months and more and more developers will be cooking for this beast of a phone and throw that with the updates that HTC will roll and we have more of a power house than we already do;)

But the s3 will be a powerhouse in it's own right. lets not forget that...

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Maybe you should go to the S3 forum and discuss instead of trying to convince people otherwise buddy. Again benchmarks do not mean anything. If a game is slick and plays well that is all that counts. Not which chipset is higher than the other one. Both set of phones have powerful enough cpu and gpu so no need to try and convince which one is better. and it is always nice that Nvidia Tegra has some nice attention from companies so it is all good:) and it can only get better no matter if it is second class gpu compared to the one from S3. At least we shall not need to use chainfire 3d to play nvidia games at least we can do it out of the box:D anyways man s3 is a beast anyway
[HTC One X] nihal1983:
pre-ordered the s3 or the one x if the s3 where?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
I'm not going to lie, the gpu on the Galaxy S 3 is impressive. However, you're not going to need the GPU unless you're gaming. If i'm not mistaken the cpu's are nearly on par. The only differentiating factor now would be:

Sgs3

pros:

Better GPU (Are there any games out there that would even need that much gpu performance?)

Possibly battery and less heat

Cons:

Disgusting design

HTC One X:

Pros:

Beautiful Design

Cons:

Battery life maybe? (I think it's safe to say HTC rushed the one x out so we should give htc some time before judging)

Weaker gpu(however, unless you are only gaming all day this is irelevant)

MicrsoSD and a few other stuff could be added into cons on the one X, however that all comes down to preference.

To me for instance, MicroSD is something I have never really used and i'm not a huge fan of it and the space I usually have had so far on my phone was perfectly fine.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
redo your post again cause it does not make sense...it is up to you mate which one to preorder..both good phones..depends what you want to go for;)

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

good post and run out of thanks...valid points but lets not forget that Tegra is quite powerful as well and the games on this beast is amazing:cool:
[HTC One X] :
the ipad 3 came out after the transformer.
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
It's a horrible phone for being a 'flagship'. Definitely happy I bought the HOX a month before this phone came out.
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
First off, im not trying to convince anyone, i'm just posting up information which some people would like to see on how it compares to the Tegra 3.

When people say 'benchmark don't mean anything' are obviously trying to protect there device from losing, because it lost. Benchmark does mean something, it gives the user a good advice on how the phone performs, or what are benchmark for? I know some benchmark can be tweaked, but benchmark like GLBenchmark and Sunspider are accurate. It shows how much Samsung has optimised there device compared to HTC One X.

It can't get better, the Tegra 2 for example, its totally abandoned nearly, Nvidia are hardly putting out games with new physic for it, this will be similar to Tegra 3 later. I'd prefer using Chainfire + Mali GPU, it is more future proof GPU as of now. I might seem a bit bias, but what i'm stating is the truth.

I still be sticking with my HTC One X, until I see how the battery compares from GSMarena and Anandtech.

The white Galaxy S3 looks nice compared to the peddle blue, it doesn't look bad. But everyone has different opinions.
[HTC One X] M3PH:
you might wanna skip down to the end of this post.

good point well said. Need to take your time though. Work on that grammer ;)

Hmmm 2 core extra cores or higher mobile download speeds. i know what i would pick.

And now for the main feature. I wasn't going to post in this thread because it, intentionally or not, it's troll bait (and i don't feed trolls) but then this argument about 40nm (oh and lol at the guy that made a refference to 28mm. That was really funny and i'll bet you'll never figure out why) vs 32nm broke out, then there was this too and fro about benchmarks and finally i got pissed off. So i started to write a post on google+ and when i was done i figured i would post it here. Because most of you could do with an education. So here goes:

Now, i've been around long enough to know that just because something is new it doesn't automatically make it the greatest but i have also been around long enough to recognise love at first sight. Invariabley you will get a group of people on the internet that are very vocal about their undying and endless love for a particular piece of electronics (i always find it funny it's never for anything that can breathe (cats don't count)).

Take iPhone users for example (yes i'm talking to you mr "ipad has the fastest hardware on the market") they are mostly all idiots, at least in an IT sense (although with iPhone users its more just generally). The thing is i think we are now starting to see it with samsung devices. The problem is that people that like samsung devices (and are able to muster up enough brain cells to use the internet for anything more complex than surfing facebook) are very defensive and apparently, judging by this thread, falsely open minded.

Yeah, fair enough, as i have already said, there are some plus points to the SGS3 but for most people they are nothing but ammo. If you do use your phone as a games console and manage to durn though a bettary every 45 minutes then, to be honest, your an idiot. The only disadvatages of not having a removable battery are if it fails you can't replace it yourself and you can't get an extended one.

Second, if you think, that for some reason, 32GB of data storage (yeah i know it's not really 32GB) is not enough to suit your needs then you need ask yourself WTF is on your phone. I had just upgraded my HD2 to a 16GB card and i only did that coz i couldn't fit android on the nand properly. I think 32GB is gonna be plenty. Yes again, if the emmc fails i can't just swap it out but if the emmc fails my entire phone is ****ed and it would the same with the SGS3.

So overall, Whats better is entirely subjective. It comes down to preference and ultimately what makes you hard but i know what I'm really happy about right now and that's i have an HTC One X with a Tegra 3 SoC sitting on my desk and not a Galaxy S3

(oh and if think this was post was in any way rude or offensive to you, your friends or a specific sub group of people then you really need to ask yourself why. Then go and suck it)
