32gb on One X. Same as the s3. seriously people you telling me you are going to fill that storage up and use more with external sd cards? sd cards are so 2011:D just messing. both great phones. cant we all just get along :D

but seriously guys. both phones have beautiful designs. but s3 looks like the child of the galaxy note and GNEX after getting together on a night out;):p
[Galaxy S III General] RedBlueGreen:
I hope the "Next Nexus" has a non pentile display...

Im already dreaming of the specs... which kinda makes me sad because it will probably be a let down just like the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] fost4real:
i just do not get it! the pentile display on my GNote is amazing! what more do you want? i think these pentile issue is just a perception.

[Galaxy S III General] HEDST8:
I prefer the look of the s3 and once every one starts rooting the s3 is gonna be the top phone on performance anyhow isnt it.The battery and sd card are the winners for me and as for the screen isnt the screen on the hox having loads of problems with clipping and stuff?Maybe this is why samsung went with a older screen?
[Galaxy S III General] fredphoesh:
For me, the design of the SGS3 is better than the OneX

The screen is moot, its way beyond my ability to discern anyway.

Being able to take spare batteries/spare SD card on holiday to shoot video/watch movies etc... makes the SGS3 way better than the OneX

Finally, the sexy new staying on if you are with your device, or auto dialing if you lift it to your head after reading an sms, is logical, simple, but brilliant.

One horse race IMO... and NO custom roms to mess up the Samy apps for me!!

Mark.

Isn't SGS3 all plastic like SGS2 ?
[Galaxy S III General] Darkfunnyguy:
I will wait for the Sony or Iphone in the summer.

This is my personal view, it looked right downer to me, the Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone is one big very ugly beast, it also cheap plastic again.

When Sony already launch a Sony Xperia with 12 meg pixels with launch smartphones in summer with 13 & 16 meg pixel. Samsung stuck with 8 meg pixel, this is massive surpried since this is 4.8 inch in size.

I will wait for Sony or Iphone or buy the Sony Xeperia S in the summer.

A massive disappointment.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
Higher specs do not mean high quality product. Just think about it;)
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Is there any confirmation that it has Gorilla Glass 2 ?
[Galaxy S III General] leftheodo:
The Xperia S has 2011's hardware except from the camera and the screen ( snapdragon S3/Adreno 220. WTF Sony? ). I don't think the GS3 is that ugly. It's just the ONE X is too beautiful and classy!
[Galaxy S III General] zest_th:
i think raw material of Samsung low quality when compare with Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
For me personally, the important thing about a sdcard slot isn't the total amount of memory, but the ability to wipe my "system partition" completely.

Like on my PC, I like to keep my photos, videos, music and other pers. data on a physically seperate "drive".

That's why HTC is no option for me, regardless of the other specs.:p

Really? What is so high quality about something that breaks when you drop it?:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] OrrPenn18:
OP, you will get hell flak if you don't change the title :p

HTC steals the show, oh come on! Samsung are hardware manufacturers, they know the stuff!

And people debating over plastic and metallic finish, please throw your phone in the air and tell me which lives to tell the story? eh!

GSM Online PL just uploaded a video of the Galaxy S3 next to a HTC One X

[YOUTUBE]8Wg74f-zNJw[/YOUTUBE]

You can see the diference in the build quality of the main body, i also noticed a the One X to be a little sluggish when moving through the menus, not as fluid at least.
[Galaxy S III General] Nerz:
Hearing other people's disappointment, i was disappointed too. However alot of the things people were complaining about I really don't see a problem.

Yea the htc one is a nice looking phone with a nice build. But so what's if the gs3 plastic? I remember numerous complaints about the gs2's plastic and how "cheap it felt". But look how light and thin it was. And check the drop test vs other phones as a result of this lightness. Now the design can be a little better i guess, but who cares it most likely is going to be in a case so it only matters how good the case looks.

The screen? I would rather a none pentile screen, but at 720 resolution I doubt I will be able to tell, and it being a super amoled screen i'm sure i'll love it.

Another benefit to this "dreaded plastic" to me is the removable cover. That is a big factor that would deter me from the htc one. I love being able to use a ext sd card and a removable battery is great too.

I'm not sure about the processor, but being a exynos I'm sure it will beat the tegra 3, in terms of performance and with a smaller architecture battery i bet too. Now me being in the States I'm sure we will unfortunately have a different processor than the international as the htc one does with the lte version. That to me is unfortunate.

And lastly, I'm sure that it will have a unlocked bootloader which alone would be reason enough for me to pick the gs3 over htc one.

If I still have the funds this year after getting a tablet, I'll most likely be getting the gs3. If funds don't materialize then there is always the next nexus or gs4.
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Yeah, I belive 4,5" would be the perfect screen size for me. Tryed the Nexus for the first time today (Yep, Brazil) and I was barely capable of reaching the screen's corners. The size of the bezel and the more rounded corners of the SIII may cause the phone to be as usable as the GNEX. That's what I'm hoping at least :D

Also I loved the feel the GNEX has in the hand, but I didn't wanted to get a already 6 months old device. But we'll see
[Galaxy S III General] evobb10:
Yes It's disappointed for me. It's not fill my expectation. Ugly design with physical home button. Hope US version come with out that button, Samsung just look like iPhone why they make their own design? Ppl talking about removable storage how many people real use more than 32gb on phone ohhh come on guys. HTC one x far away better than sgs3 period

25+ million SGSII, 27+ million SGS1 and 5+ million GNOTE users over the past 2 years.. SGSIII will be a 30+ million club in just 1 year for sure.. Mark my word. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] vincepg13:
Wow you Samsung fanboys really need to go buy an iPhone...because that's what your all turning into, Apple users

There both great phones having there own advantage, they offer different things. It's the first time in years HTC have been able to stand up to Samsung & Apple yet your all slated them because you want piece of mind thinking you'll have the best device. There both beasts and most importantly they kick the door down on the iPhone!!

Opinions are opinions, but people trying to down one phone because they have/want the other just grow up
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
well, i wouldn't say that. here's how Samsung screws up, battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
The bickering and fighting is ridiculous - these are 2 great phones that are very comparable, and both deserve to be successful. Let's not forget the real competition is the iPhone and both are much better. If anything I want HTC to regain some marketshare, they put so much thought and effort into the One series. Samsung's success is guaranteed, we don't really have to worry much about that.

What we need to worry about is US carriers messing up the GS3 when it comes here.
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Two words: Custom kernels.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
Have done nothing for me in terms of battery life on my gsii (heavy web browser). Made it smoother though.
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Ahh well for heavy web browsing you can only do so much..

But with the Quad u can theoretically kick it back to like ~800 for all cores or shut a few off. Screen will be the biggest monster tho.

To each their own.
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
agreed, we should just both just cool it now
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
So how do you organise the music on your sd card if you get new music or change what you listen to? Is the process something like:

Protective case off phone > pop off back > remove sd card > place into adaptor > put in PC > update music > remove sd > place back in phone > replace cover > put back on protective case?

Me, I have moved with the times. I use Google music, and also have the option of syncing playlists stored on my sd card via a USB cable.

I was a bit hesitant of leaving behind removable sd cards and batteries, but then I realised I never used to remove them anyway, not worth the hassle.
[Galaxy S III General] Hunt3r.j2:
The only reason to go for the SGS3 is battery life and microSD. If you don't care about expandable storage or carrying around multiple batteries, the One X would've been in your hands for over a month now.

As a side note, the One X's camera is better by virtue of higher optic quality. Newer sensors are great but it's no consolation for low light reception.
[Galaxy S III General] Naths:
Hmmm...all this about removable battery, as slot for my 1000 gb of music that i will listen to every song on there.....stupid!!!!....the HOX is perfect for 99.999999% of the population, and does look a lot better than the SGS3, curved screen, better display, etc etc.. oh its 0.3 of a mm thicker...damn you HTC , 0.3 how can we cope with that massive thickness ...lol
[Galaxy S III General] Yonatanl2:
By watching HOX reviews on youtube it appears as it's browsing experience isn't very smooth, on the contrary it's safe to assume SGS3's browsing will be a joy thanks to the exynos processor. Am I incorrect?
[Galaxy S III General] Hamst0r:
HTC is so boring. This company is going to die and the One Series wont rescue them. There was so much hype around the Galaxy S3, everybody will buy it (it isnt really better, but they will buy it^^) and HTC again will only get a small part of the market. And at the end HTCs investments will be higher than their gains, like end of 2011. The same procedure as every year, James?

just my 2 cents :D
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
Can the chip automatically shut down cores or will there be softwares to manually disable core?

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------

I disagree completely and I hope HTC can gain market shares with their new One X series. The last thing I would want for mobile phone market is a 'dualopoly' like with the PC market where both evil forces together with their financial and IP power to dictate the market as they please. With that said, with the ongoing bootloader issues and ..Sense, I'm not yet ready to buy another HTC.
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
I was just like you, and lived with a one S for little over month. Well actually lived with 3 different handsets as they chipped and one of them had serious WiFi issues.

Without going into the subject though, I'll only say that without the possibility to replace the battery, carrying around mobile power banks isn't my idea of having a slim light phone. At work I wouldn't leave the phone charging on the pc as it is vulnerable as well.

In regards to music, you can always install all the music you like on the internal memory and use the sd card for the rest of the apps, so no worrying about taking the case or cover on and off. So problem solved.

I always fear that with the lithium batteries getting recharged every night will eventually reduce the charging cycles and perhaps in a year or so, you will need to send the phone back to HTC for a battery replacement. Not a problem with s3

For those and other quality issues I am switching to Samsung although I have been an HTC fan from the early windows mobile versions

I can't wait to buy a SGIII

1080p AMOLED+

1.8Ghz CPU with next gen Mali GPU

12 Megapixel Camera

High quality Ceramic Case

3000 mAH Removable Battery

Oh wait, these were specs supposedly confirmed by Samsung Fanboys prior to SGIII reveal predicting how SGIII will blow everything out of the water.

Now the same fanboys are in full scramble mode trying to justify how SGIII is so revolutionary.

I don't root for any phone in particular, I have owned all of them Samsung, HTC, Moto, etc. but samsung fanboys are some of the worse.

Case in point -> somehow stating SGIII > HTC One X due to a list of problems users post online. WOW really? How is this statistically significant? Even Samsung phones I've owned in the past looked awfull if you go through the list of problems during launch. The vast majority of users of all these phones are enjoying them and not posting about it online.

I will probably buy a SGIII and One X (owned almost all flag ship phones) and I will be enjoying both and not acting like a fanboy.
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
Never posted before on phone forums nor had time to waste for these things either. But HTC quality issues is what made ms to turn to forums in the first place.

Besides all of us look around before leaving 500gbp for a phone these days. We don't just go and get the most beautiful one

sent with HTC1S

EDIT. It is also wiser to test and check the phone before the dates that you can take it back within warranty.
[Galaxy S III General] Gene_Bailey:
To amswer the first part of your post, yes, the Exynos 4412 can turn on and off cores 2-4 as needed and can also control the clock speed of all its cores between around 300mhz and 1.4ghz so that there is no wasted power

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I just bought the One X yesterday to try it out. Had to pay full retail price, but that 30 day return policy sounds really good right now.

The SLCD2 honestly ISN'T that great. I miss the vivid colors that my Captivate had. Sure the images look tons sharper comparing it to my captivate, but the colors on my captivate still look better. People point out that there's a blue tint on the SGS3, but there's actually a warm orange yellow tint on whites on the One X that I'm using right now.

That being said, I haven't gotten a chance to use the SGS3 screen, but I'm not that impressed by the SLCD2 screen compared to my Captivate. This is my personal preference as many of us sure have our own.

To me the SD card is a big problem because without one you can't use your phone as a mass storage unit. I often connect my phone to Macs, PS3, Xbox 360, to my car's stereo system and more. Without the Micro SD card slot, it will only work on Windows computers. I may be wrong about this but I know it's like this for the Galaxy nexus. Can someone confirm this to me?

Second, the removable battery may stir a problem. If I ever had to permanently replace the battery due to damages, I would have to send it in? Or take it apart and void my warranty? No thanks.

These are all my initial impressions. I am going to give hte One X a try for the rest of the 30 days, and buy a SGS3 and do a side by side comparison before I make a decision. But so far I'm more excited abotu receiving my SGS3.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
This is why I decided to go with HTC, SLCD2(better for white backgrounds). I'm really hoping i can web browse longer, maybe at least 6 hours worth before the phone gives up on me.

[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
Synching an Android phone with iTunes ??:confused:

Taking out the sd card to copy files to it ??:confused:

Wow, wtf, is it me or some people here got the whole idea somewhat backwards.

I got my music and movies on a NAS, so they are available in the whole house. I either copy the files to my phone via wifi or via usb with my pc using a file explorer.

I need a sdcard for safety reasons, if I have to RMA or buy a new phone or do a FULL WIPE.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Yes, but in reality do you even NEED an sd for safety reasons? If so, everyone with an iphone or one x is living dangerously....
[Galaxy S III General] zigson:
I tried out the One X for an hour on Friday, it was great, and I've always gone with HTC before. I can't imagine anyone being dissapointed with it. But for me, the SD card is the clincher. The 32gb of memory on my current phone is nowhere near enough for my music, so the thought of adding a 64gb class 10 card onto the phone's internal memory was enough to swing my decision away from the One X.

Apart from that there's not a great deal of difference between the two phones as far as I'm concerned.
[Galaxy S III General] bluebobx:
Hmm, removable SD - like you said is a nice-to-have rather than a gotta-have, and like you I've put in a big card and then left it evermore. However, my reasoning (for the GSIII) is that I can buy the base model, slap in a (relatively cheap) SDXC card and ditch the last piece of Apple kit I have - my much loved iPod Video 5th Gen. Without that removable card - assuming that Samsung follow the Apple pricing model, I'm looking at about £200/US$320 increase in price - which is more than 3x the price I can get a 64GB uSDXC card for.

Removable battery on the other hand IS a must-have. Not only is that the reset-of-last-resort, but also it's been known for bad batteries to get shipped. Compare the "ease" of changing a battery to having to do an RMA! Also, if I go for a GSIII (which looks likely) then perhaps in the future I can add some bulk and weight with a PowerSkin or similar extended battery.

Me too - the recognition is a little flaky, but I just love the text-message reading that it does. :D
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I bought it and have been using it since yesterday. I just want to try it so I won't have a bias opinion when I say I prefer either the One X or GS3. What were you using before? I honestly am not that impressed with the screen like every HTC fanboy has been raving about. It's sharp but the color is not as vivid and blacks are a bit grayish. Those are things my eyes notice more then possibly a HD Pentile screen not being nearly as sharp.

So far I am considering returning the HTC ONE X ASAP due to the SD card and battery plus the software on the SGS3 looking awesome.

Other then that, there is one cool feature on the One X. When you connect it USB to a computer you can use that computers internet. This is great if you are at work and don't want to go over your data plan. I don't think Samsung phones have this feature most times. Even though I have wifi at my work, I might switch jobs soon and they may not let me connect to wifi.

Example: This is someones note next to their one X

SGS3 will have better colors, HTC ONE X will just look sharper. You can't have both until SGS3+ comes out with their SAMOLED HD+ screen.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
You got it, mate! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] nebsif:
Only reason I havent insta bought 1x a month ago is the closed shell, which is why im now jumping ship to sammy. (Legend, Desire & Sensation (latest being disappoint)).

You could even dream of non glossy back covers being sold one day or bigger batteries for GS3, on 1x even replacing an old/damaged battery is a prob not to mention the reported battery life on moderate being meh.
[Galaxy S III General] zigson:
My current phone is an HTC Desire, so I suppose the One X screen was always going to look amazing to me. I'm suprised to hear you're not getting on with it after a day of use. Hope you either learn to love it, or else you're covered by a cooling off period on the contract.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I'm going to give it a try and toy with it heavily. But as much as the SGS3 got over hyped, I think the One X's screen got over hyped to me. It sounded like it would be "without a doubt" the best screen. But after using it and looking at it, it's honestly personal preference. Both have their pros and cons.
[Galaxy S III General] hapticc:
one x is pure awsm i like sgs3 but dont love it. whoever loves samsung s3 just look how ugly loudspeaker look at back. moreover s3 is very cheap looking phone u r right very cheap i have touched it seen it in reality and its nowhere near one x. one x feels like 9/10 then s3 will be 5/10 in design. yeah the expandable memory and battery a good but pentile amoled is badit look worse. quad exynos is on par with teagra dont consider benchmarks yet bcoz htc didnt include android 3.0 kernel till now. when it comes it will fix all initial bugs and improve performance
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I totally disagree. My One X's colors are dull. Blacks are grays and less vivid even compared to my Captivate! I just got my One X yesterday, but going to return it. I prefer more vivid colors than sharper images because honestly I don't look at my phone from 8 inches away so the sharpness probably won't bother me but the colors will.
[Galaxy S III General] Yonatanl2:
For a matter a fact I do and have read that regardless of the web browser the browsing experience isn't as smooth as on the SG2.

Moreover, mind you manners, you can should discuss more appropriately without asking rhetorical questions like I am some dumb person.

I shouldn't even know what Chrome is on Android, my current and latest phone is the Nokia X6 which runs Symbian, I am way in-advanced when is comes to mobile technology.

Back on topic ; for me the specs aren't deal breakers, sure a better screen would be nice but people claim that at such a high resolution you don't notice the difference. At a better battery life, great results at performance tests & smooth web browsing I am pretty much sold on the Galaxy 3 unless convinced otherwise.
