When HTC ONE X Follows the non sdcard / no batt path like iPhone .. i already give up.

Good to know sgs3 did not.

I have the samsung galaxy tab 7.7.. it also have a non removable battery, one day it decided to bootloop.. and the (press and hold the power button cannot recover it..) i have to wait for the battery to completely drain before i can do **** to it .. so yea .. pull battery still the best way. But at least it has my sdcard inside.. so i could at least transfer my sdcard to atrix .. and without management or syncing im playing emulator roms/ music / videos with atrix again.

And as a slight note: i believe samsung galaxy note uses the same screen tech as sgs3... but i never heard anyone *****ing about its pentile screen .. (sgs3 has a smaller screen and higher pixel density then note.. so if you can take note .. u sure can take sgs3)

The rest of the stat between HOX and sgs3 is negligible.. so all come down to storage / endurance (which sgs3 has), style (where style is highly subjective) and price (HOX should be cheaper).
[Galaxy S III General] MonkeyMage:
I can't post links yet, but wanted to share the link.. Maybe those issues of 'burn in' aren't an issue with pentile, or less so? Maybe it's a good move until plus displays are better..

One X looked plastic to you wheras it isn't. S3 looked premium to you whereas it's plastic. Need to be a bit neutral to judge the two beasts :)

Yeah it is 0.3mm lesser in width the only plus point, I see. But Sense is definitely better than Touchwiz (it's upto personal preference anyway)

One X gives 20+ hour battery easily. I think you don't keep it down much. :D

Ask 50 random people if they ever changed their SD CARDS or swapped their batteries? It's just a psychological thing people are adopting. 26GB on board with 25GB on dropbox need years to fill. It could be one or two but 98% people won't be worried of space (but they do say out loud, "whoa! What? No sd card?)

Battery is way too good on One X. It's just down to the personal use. 20+ hours is average. And it's BIG for a quadcore monster.

lol. S3 got more than it deserved :D

On the serious note, S3 is a beast in itself and a perfect device but when I compare it with ONE X... Damn... Build quality & design of S3 looks crappy.

Yeah. I couldn't imagine they'd produce 4.8" with pentile display. Anyways ...

you def need to study about a bit. Then get a phone in hand with pentile & non pentile. You'll see. One X is non-pentile and One S is pentile. But most people don't care.

That's nothing S3 only feature. Rooting and flashing CM9 or MIUI would increase the performance and battery by tenfolds in both these devices.

Well I'm not gonna mention HTC like everyone else, but the main reason I have stayed away from Samsung was the glossy plastic and the UI. I was hoping they'd improve those aspects, as they are the first things you notice on a phone and a rather fundamental factor in the feel of the phone. It was why I decided to go with HTC Desire rather than the Galaxy S. I loved the Wave with the metal body and I would have bought it if it was Android, so Samsung definitely have the capability to do it.
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Thats exactly the way ive felt about HTC for a long time, since the Desire HD fail with the rubber coming out of the body in the back.. the poor sound quality and so on..
[Galaxy S III General] mohsinraza:
I wrote the title as I felt the situation is :D (and it's very much true because I've read many many comments on XDA, Android Websites' Articles to which I'm subscribed & Samsung facebook page)

Samsung are hardware manufacturers and still they produced an ugly looking smartphone and proudly say it's their flagship. Let's face it; it is an ugly looking phone.

Phones aren't to throw in air & check the durability & reliability but the build quality is meant for the feel in hand, the effect on the eye and the overall shape & look of a phone. And unfortunately, my dear fellow, Samsung got floored by HTC in this.

Wrong. They are both polycarbonate, a fancy name for plastic. Given that you missed one of the easiest things, the rest of your post is likely garbage, as well.

Face it. You are an HTC fan boy. I think the HTC and its 3 buttons is ugly as hell. Your thread is full of your opinion (no facts) and some misinformation. Nice job. Go back to your HTC board.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
I don't think its ugly. I'd say just above average. I must admit the one x looks more pristine.

Yeah one could say they got floored in design by HTC but the one x gets floored in hardware. Not to mention it has a removeable battery plus external SD slot.

Also the sgs 3 will last longer due to battery. I'm hoping Samsung get the design right with the sgs 4.

Taking inspiration from a pebble make me laugh out loud.

Yesterday I was thinking about buying an ATT htc x instead since it would be so much cheaper than the international s3 but after they announced that the bootloader won't be unlocked I would much rather pay more for the SIII
[Galaxy S III General] abhifusion:
At first I was not impressed with S III's design, but I feel it kinda grows over you... Now I have started to like it :D
[Galaxy S III General] NorthernNoel:
It seems strange to me that so many are disappointed by this phone as I felt that way when the One X was released :D

The removable battery and sd slot were what did it for me. I've got a 64gb sdxc card in my phone at the moment (it's replaced my ipod) and I'm afraid dropbox or music streaming sites just don't cut it when 3g signal is so poor round here. I did live with a 32gb card for a bit but it was a pain having to swap music around and I always seemed to be missing that one song.

I also carry a spare battery. Granted I've rarely used it but I've always liked the re-assurance. Running an app like Endomondo with GPS on is a real battery murderer.

The Huawei Ascend Quad XL looks like the only other contender but the S3 is here now and I'm wanting a new toy to replace my HTC Desire :)
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
If I have to chose between Wolfson DAC and Beats audio, I'll have to chose the former 20 out of 10 times. But right now with the One X at $600 is more compelling while the S3 Europe priced at 499Euro, it probably will be $700 for US, but more due to VAT. Weighing the pro and cons, I'm not willing to pay that difference. I'm more compelled get a used Nexus for almost half the price, its not really the end of the world that I have two less cores to brag about, it can still play 1080p.
[Galaxy S III General] sonhy:
options is good

I use heaps of battery as im a heavy user so the HOX is useless for me.

I don't remove the battery daily but i do need to have the option, even if its only a few days a year, e.g. camping, at the airport, fishing...

I made a great 18650 portable usb charger (4000mah with 2A discharge) to charge my phones on the go and while i still need to use them, but nothing beats a quick battery swap so you can get back to it without a usb cable holding you back.

And when your using GPS and other stuff, the battery is very slow to charge even with a 2A charger.

On the memory side, it always nice to have the option of more room.

I use atorrent to download movies at night on wifi - saves me from keeping my laptop on all night.

and mobile data is expensive and slow where i am (and where the fish and crabs are), 32gb is enough but more is better. I think online storage is only really good for encryted titanium backups.

Although, storage wont be an issue if I get the galaxy Note and do the ntfs mod to connect to a harddrive.

Just these 2 options alone win over any pros the HOX has (for me).

for other ppl like the 60 year old lady next door - the HTC is just fine... as in "why the heck would you need 8000 megatights for!! you'll never use them all" :p

Put a launcher nosense in One X and film the video again.... with sense ui obviously th one x will be more slow...
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
A few of my friends have that phone, and I must say the build quality was still decent, and they looked good as new after nearly 2 years, just like my Desire. That said, I don't remember any rubber? Maybe you have a different version, but the one in the UK was all metals. The screen disappointed slightly though! I'm not partial to any brands, my money and admiration goes to those who deserve it. When/if Sony comes up with their counters things could be REALLY interesting :)

I'm getting me that sick ass looking LG phone coming out soon with 2 gb of ram true HD screen quad core love expandable memory and removable battery. I'm a Samsung fanboy but the s3 was a dissapointment
[Galaxy S III General] mohsinraza:
HTC didn't make a dedicated menu button about which I find every second person cursing samsung because they made one. Home button is common in both & task killer is easily accessible now.

Checkout google and see if :

Pentile is better than non-pentile.

Polycarbonate with hyperglaze that makes it glossy is better than Polycarbonate with rough texture that looks more like ceramic.

OP WAS ABOUT THIS. AND DO CONFIRM THESE "FACTS" VIA GOOGLE.

If that's the case S3 wins & this isn't really the case.

UI is upto one's liking but Sense do provide better icons, graphics, animations & simply UI.

(I wasn't defending ONE X but you've made me to do so)

CHANGABLE BATTERY & 0.3mm LESSER IN WIDTH are the only Plus Points I see in SIII. Doesn't mean the phone is bad. But comparison does make it look like a loser.

I'm not a fan boy of any particular brand. My money goes to the one who deserves it.

S3 definitely looks and feels more plastic then HOX, there is no denying that.

Some of the smart software on s3 is great better then HOX but the ics sense ui is far better.

Camera HOX seems better for once based on early details and comments but will know better when actual comparison is done.

Memory goes to S3.

Benchmarks S3 again.

Even though HOX is plastic build it doesn't actually look, feel cheap plastic unlike S3. A huge disappointment really, if it wasn't for that I would go with s3, Sammy let them selves down.

So I agree with title S3 a disappointment.
[Galaxy S III General] cssoz:
Ya I agree, I mean the SD card is not so much of a big deal if you have at least 16 internal but It's a need.

On the other hand, removable battery like most other HTC devices have. one series really f up. Look at S3 is just as sim and you can wait for Anker to make new batteries for it. Probably up to 2500 to 2600mAh =O!?

I personally have an Anker 1900mAh for my phone and.I prefer it over stock anytime.

[Galaxy S III General] MrPhilo:
I've been reading the thread, you are being totally bias towards Samsung for HTC.

First off, the screen, yes the HTC One X is better but doesn't mean the Pentile Super Amoled screen is a slouch, its contrast is better in terms of colour. You get a screen with higher contrast

The design, that is totally PERSONAL PREFERENCE, you may not like the device, but other will think different, I like the white version, it looks a lot premium than the peddle blue. I also like the HTC One X which I have but I don't mind either and at people saying it feels cheap, have you even touched it yet? The white version doesn't even look cheap, but I gotta agree the blue peddle one does.

Camera, how can you say HTC One X is ahead? Samsung is just a head, which is why it has a faster burst shot, 0 second shutter. But the HTC One X wins in the 'lens' with its f2.0 aperture in low light condition, but for quality, we'll have to wait for post.

Exynos vs Tegra, CPU is around on par, but features like dynamic voltage control and the 32nm makes it more power efficient, although Tegra 3 does have a companion core, it is poorly optimised, we'll have to see in the future for Tegra 3. We all know Samsung has coded the Exynos well for the Galaxy S3 by looking at the smoothness and benchmark.

The Mali GPU vs Tegra GPU, the Mali is around 50% to 80% faster. Which the UI framerate should be a solid 60fps, than the Tegra 3. Plus more power efficient due to the 32nm.

Sense vs Touchwiz, I like both, I had a Galaxy S2 (8 Month), Galaxy Nexus (2 Month) and now HTC One X. Touchwiz is no doubt smoother than Sense, the way Samsung has optimised it and made it more fluid than Sense, shows how much the engineers at Samsung is better at coding, but HTC are limited by Tegra because of Nvidia poor work in coding, Tegra 2 for example.

EDIT: I also like how you mention that Sense provides simple UI etc, can't you see that Touchwiz is more similar to stock ICS launcher at app draw? The animation is smoother. I like the animation more on Touchwiz than Sense, but thats self preference, where as your stating that everyone likes 'Sense' etc.

Battery Life I would say Galaxy S3 is better, it's bigger battery and the efficient 32nm, i'm having difficulties getting 3-4 hours on screen time for my HTC One X, which when I had Galaxy S2, I was able to get close to 5-6 hours on screen time. Plus the Galaxy S3 should produce less heat due to the 32nm.

Software Optimisation, the browser is optimise quite a bit, producing 1.4k on Sunspider and 170k on Browsermark.

I might seem a bit bias as well over to Samsung, but what I said is 'facts', I still be keeping my HTC One X, but i'll wait for battery test by Anandtech and GSMarena before deciding first.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Lol wtf. OK ur post is nice and all but to state u got 5 to 6 hours of screen time on sgs 2 is bull.
[Galaxy S III General] Nit3m4re:
I have to admit, that I am in the same boat as a lot of people who are upgrading from their SGS/Desire's and was really hoping for something big from Samsung here. I was so convinced that the SIII would appeal to me that I would have been willing to pre order it without even seeing it.

But now that it has been unveiled, I genuinely can't help but feel that the design of the phone was not what I was hoping for. I found myself throughout the whole press conference trying to convince myself that I did infact like it.. when the reality was that I didn't. The S features on the phone do look fantastic I have to admit which makes this decision harder than I was expecting it to be, but when I find myself looking at a 24 month contract with a phone I am not 100% certain I even like the look of, its a big commitment.

I can't help but find myself steering towards the One X (Or possibly even the S) because they both to me, look gorgeous in comparison and they are the only real alternatives right now. Its a shame and I thought it might just be me thinking this but it seems that I am not alone in feeling slightly underwhelmed, I wasn't expecting the hardware to be crazy like people suggested because A15 Quad-Core Exynos CPU's were never realistically on the cards for May, so I really was only that bothered about battery and its design.. and it is a shame for me it didn't win in both those two simple categories.
[Galaxy S III General] bluebobx:
Yes I do, but the problem with that is that not only do you have to pay the contract off (which seems reasonable) but they also apply an "early termination fee", which can be pretty large.

Also, my current teleco has a reputation for poor customer service, so it's not likely to be an easy option.

Good thing is that I've only got about six weeks until the contract runs out - in which case I'll be able to just not renew it - at which point I'll be getting a PAC from Three and moving to T-Mobile.
[Galaxy S III General] MitchAifa:
They are both the most powerful smartphones in the world right now..

They have pros & cons..

HTC One X is undoubtly a better looking device in my opinon with a slightly better camera, i don't either like Sense UI but for the sake of majority, i will give it to them, but then SGS III managed to fill the gap with arguably better hardware (CPU, GPU, etc.), more features, better software & performance tweaks as well as removable battery & SD card slot..

The screen is equal to me, with S-LCD2, the colors are more accurate & has a better pure white color & slightly sharper while SAMOLED HD is more vivid & has a pure black color & a little lesser battery-consuming.. If Samsung just managed to put non pentile screen on SGSIII, it's a no contest.

SGS III is the most hyped android phone ever, everyone were creating their own imaginary specs for this phone like the latest Mali GPU, SAMOLED HD+, 12 mpixel camera, ceramic casing, etc. etc.. That's why these people were all crying in disappointment!!!

Doesn't matter, you can't change the hardware.

The games are still only optimized for Tegra devices & still will run better on the HOX & other Tegra devices in comparison.

You mean 3 lines of code vs 1 line for texture compression (extreme example btw)?

Btw, with chainfire plugin running on Galaxy S2 ran "tegra only" games with AA turned up to 16x. I think i would consider that running better than tegra devices in comparison

I will hold my opinion on tegra3 optimized games running on S3 worse than tegra3 devices until s3 gets released and chainfire is updated

[Galaxy S III General] bluebobx:
That's pretty much my opinion too - after all a longish game playing session is going to flatten your battery.

As to the Tegra "issue" I can't see it being a big deal - after all how many Teg3 optimized games

that people want to play

are out there? I remember looking up the "TegraZone" recently for my Teg2 tablet and it wasn't exactly a large choice. I'm also not 100% convinced that there's THAT much difference between an "optimized" title and a normal one - maybe an frame/sec better and/or better textures but that's it.

And the final word on that issue from me - look at the most popular 'droid games and I don't see (m)any Tegra-optimized titles. If the SIII is as blisteringly quick as some have claimed then I don't see it necessarily being a worse game player than the Tegra3-equipped HOX. Certainly for the latest "Angry Birds" release that seems to be the most popular game at the moment. :rolleyes:

And us Android fans should think ourselves damned lucky that we've got fantastic pieces of "tech" like the HOX and SIII. Pity the poor iPhone owners who only get to choose between the "current" magic or the old "rubbish"*
