ehm....WOW :eek:

you mean the awesome glossy plastic back and the even more incredible plastic silver bezel?

about games: most of them are made for iOS 1st android 2nd. When I 1st saw Dark Meadow gameplay on 1x I was pretty amazed thinking tegra might be cool afterall (comin from HTC desire), but then I checked a bit and found iPhone gameplay vids and the main difference was a bush of some sort and better water.

Tegrazone is another derp like beats audio and image chip..

I wouldn't say it if I didn't have evidence, I did however have the extended 2000Mah battery though which I forgot to mention but Samsung Galaxy S3 is 2100Mah.
[Galaxy S III General] android_master:
Was waiting for the announcement and yes i am disappointed, selling my S2 in a day or two and going with HTC One X:D,,bye bye pentile:mad:
[Galaxy S III General] ArborRes:
I definitely prefer S3 to OneX for the following reasons:

- As often as I flash new ROMS on my phone, external SD card is a must to preserve my data. I have a total of 42GB on my phone currently and 90% of it is already filled within a week of getting the phone. Why not take advantage of the wonderful video viewing on these devices?

- Swappable battery is a must as well. If you use the device as much I do, even 3000mAh isn't sufficient to last a day. Fly across an ocean on a long flight once, and then, you will know what I mean. Also, all batteries lose their stamina after a few months, as they go through repeated charge cycles.

- Exynos quadcore simply trumps the Tegra 3. Enough said.

- Pentile or RGB makes very little difference in the daily use. I have compared them side by side using iPhone 4S and Galaxy Note to make my observation.

Pentile was an issue at lower resolution, but not at 1280 x 720 resolution.

- XDA Development support for Samsung phones is much better in general. Custom ROMs is the main reason for using the Android phones anyway!

- Sense vs. TW is a non-issue for me as I will use some customized ROMs and Launchers anyway. HW matters.

- Heck, I even like the S3 design better than One-X, based on side-by-side photo comparison.

However, I like my Note even more yet. I'll stay with my Note until Note 2 comes out most likely. :P
[Galaxy S III General] Nit3m4re:
Yeah I think I will probably get a Note now on a shorter contract lol
[Galaxy S III General] getbuzzin:
Samsung wants to thinks that they are on the same level as Apple.

Average Joe: have you seen that commercial for the new s3, I'm definitely getting one because it's a "Samsung".

XDA members: if you're reading this then you know what we think.
[Galaxy S III General] DarkFlame1:
I was hoping to upgrade to the One X (currently have a HTC Desire) but held off to see what this phone was like. Have to say, I found it a little disappointing (mostly with the look) but I'm reserving judgement until I can see it in person; hoping it appears nicer in a shop. If all else fails, I'll see what direction windows phone takes with regards to the coming windows 8 release, in terms of integration and crossplatform ability. If that fails? Well (to the shock of my friends) I may have to venture down the iPhone route- as long as that proves to be an admirable device.
[Galaxy S III General] hikarugo:
Samsung disappoint?

HTC steals the show?

No way dude. Nothing from the One X is better than the S3.

Design. S3 got huge improvements in terms of design from the S2. The blue one is amazingly beautiful. While the One X's design, in my opinion, is a huge downgrade, even looks uglier than the cheaper One S.

UI. Touchwiz is more simple. No lags. Smoother than ever. More features than ever. Not just eye candy bull ****.

Battery life. S3 got 2100 mah of battery. While the One X's battery is poor. Even though S3's battery is bigger, but the phone is even still slimmer than the One X.
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
I'll be LOL whenever someone takes this huge brick out of their pockets, and starts yelling at the phone trying to make something work... pathetic!

Pretty sure it will have serious battery drain issues... I honestly hope I'm wrong!
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
s3 is the child of Note and GNexus. Nothing original. Nothing really to blow you away. One X a winner in my eyes. Still S3 not a bad looking phone but One X all the way. Touchwiz more simple yes. Sense is more stylish and has more to it than Touchwiz. Still not dissing Touchwiz as i loved it for my s2 but playing with sense the new version is gorgeous and smooth as hell. still both do not beat pure google though;)

Battery life now you need to get a grip of yourself. Get the phone first play with it and then talk about battery life..Just because it has a bigger size than the HOX does not mean it is better. Like your saying you have a big you know what but the guy with the smaller one does not know how to use it..Size sometimes does not matter. It is how you use it. Ask any woman and you shall see;):D

all good valid points you are giving and probably yeah the s3 is a lot more easier to root. but still the One X has great potential as well and development for early stages is huge. Regarding the design of the S3. Please dude now come on. It is a mixture between the Note and the GNexus..Look at my reply for the dude above. and you do get custom roms for the One X you know as well...I am not defending the One X i just like people to get their facts straight first before talking nonsense
[Galaxy S III General] OrrPenn18:
The moment when an One X will brick ... And you won't be able to remove your battery! Not practical!

Believe me as a modder and ORD person ... I take out my battery almost 10 times a day!
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
you know i am a huge modder myself mate and people have bricked their One X and still did not needed to remove battery..Plus look at the iphone..Many brick phones and still managed to survive without taking battery out...

I will say this again and again..not defending or bashing the S3. I just wished people did research before talking nonsense..But with fanboys sometimes is best to take a backseat and get the popcorn out and watch the discussions:D

looking forward to seeing both phones how the development evolves and it will be a very interesting summer indeed
[Galaxy S III General] mohsinraza:
Just press & hold the power button for 8-10 seconds. That'll do the job. It's faster than taking out the battery and then inserting it again.

Gentlemen,

Stop murdering each other over phones.

As a girl I wasn't convinced I needed one when I first saw it, not even the marble white one.

I guess we have to spit spite on blog sites here. After all, it was they who were feeding us with rumours and alleged leaks/renders, which made us believe Samsung has got something major in store for some of us.

I personally liked that Weber Shandwick render with "marble white and peble blue" nunances. I was praying it would be just that. http://bit.ly/ItETuJ

I was disappointed like most of you, but in the end, it's just a phone. And Samsung didn't promise anyone anything.

I'm pretty sure by the end of May, Samsung will deem the phone inadecuate, will rename it into "Samsung Galaxy S3v" and will release a reworked, proper Samsung Galaxy S3...

... or not. :-)

So just deal with it! ;-)
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
I agree with you on that, have noticed you on SGS2 cm9 forums many times, Wondering when did you go to HOX..
[Galaxy S III General] furt890:
Let's just hope so but they need something big to trigger that, last year was Samsung's biggest rival, now it's the internet, we don't really know if Samsung will take us seriously. Also with like less than 1 month left till worldwide launch, retooling and going back to the drawing board seems kinda impossible.
[Galaxy S III General] komorka:
I think they reworked Gtab 10.1 in just about a month's time, no?
[Galaxy S III General] furt890:
Well yeah I guess, but the launch got delayed in some countries by months. The important thing now is, will Samsung see how badly the internet react to this. Sure some react positively and others like me can make do with it just because it compensated in other department.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
since release mate...had to change it a couple of times but the one i have now is perfect and absolutely gorgeous..And it does not have TW..But really waiting for an AOSP or AOKP rom..Either way very happy HOX customer:D Still S3 though looks good but if i had my s2 i would be waiting for the Nexus instead..And my advice to those who love rooting and flash things wait. Nexus will be ten times better and probably better design..Depending on who creates that beast of a phone when it comes out in Q3
[Galaxy S III General] vickytom:
I have had my hTC One X for about a fortnight now, running v1.28 and I have to say that the battery has improved vastly, after using the phone a lot during the day and charging it each night. I initially thought that battery life was dire, but it has definitely improved significantly, as most batteries do, once conditioned.
[Galaxy S III General] varunkumars:
Battery, SD-Card and Wolfson DAC in S3 are the winners for me.
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
Next nexus is also built by Samsung, which was confirmed few days back..

As i already have a nexus as well as SGS2, i am thinking of trading my SGS2 for HOX. Would it be right step? Or should i go for SGS3??

Next big question is that if I wait for next nexus then when is it expected?? Q3 or Q4?

£500 handset with a cheap plastic look, feel you've got to be kidding me. Software wise good stuff, if iphone 5 was half as plastic as S3 boy the very same guys would have very different opinions.

The back of the phone looks extremely ugly.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
you are the only one that can decide that. i will admit coming from the s2 to the HOX and this being my first HTC phone was a big step up to me. Very different in the way of rooting this beast. So you have to think carefully. Both phones are great. It is really down to you to make the decision
[Galaxy S III General] cajkovski:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/4/2998464/how-samsung-broke-my-heart

read that.

but still the s3 no matter how good and awesome it is, it is not making me wanna jump ship..only thing that might is the development on that bad boy and comparing the two in the coming months
[Galaxy S III General] CaliCal:
htc one x is also plastic. feel? prob all in your head. tape some coins behind the camera and put some weight to it and i guarantee 99.9% if you blind fold these sheeps, they'll tell you the one that weights more feels less plastic.

look wise as i've stated before SIII,doesn't fly with me (shape and size)htc one x looks better, imo but that's about it. the internal and features beats the hox. pentile is not an issue cause when i had my note i never noticed anything. then you hear this pentile now :rolleyes: plus, i don't look at my phone with a magnify glass.

not to mention removable battery. not a big issue but it's better to have the FREEDOM to do so. that goes for the sd card too.
[Galaxy S III General] Jiangyi:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/4/2998912/how-samsung-renewed-my-love

Read this too.

Both sides of the argument is valid IMO. I don't like the plastic back either (Too much like the Nexus S), but I need to see it to know it. All the other things tell me this is a solid phone, and the fact that it also has a Wolfson DAC is like icing on the cake.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
must admit it does interest me as well but just have to wait and see like you say. it is best to see it when you actually have it in your hand and play with it..good thing my buddy is getting it so will have loads of time to play with it:D
[Galaxy S III General] hikarugo:
For those who heart broken are silly. They trust concepts and rumours with high expectations, which are actually just bullshits and should not be trusted, and they imagine their own dream Galaxy S3. They expect a lot more than what is in the reality.

Samsung was never made any official teaser that S3 will have 12 MPx camera and 2 GB of RAM, didn't they? So why do people disappointed? They actually disappointed because the S3 is not what their dream S3 should be. And that's silly.

As the result, they overreact since the real S3 is not as good as their expectations. But in fact, even though the hardware improvements are not that much, its hardware is the best, isn't it? Quad core Exynos. Quad core GPU. 2100 mAh of removable battery packed only with 8.6 mm thickness. More storage. It doesn't need much improvements from the S2, Gnote, and Gnex, to be the best android phone. Just little improvements, but it's the king already.

The one x actually got little hardware improvements too. It got 1 GB of RAM. But why nobody complain? It got 8 MP camera, but why nobody complain? It's because of the new look. The new look makes everyone think as if the One X is really new, but in reality it is not. The hardware improvements are bigger on the S3 actually. But why did S3 get complains? Silly, isn't it?

In terms of design, I think it's just personal preference. Many say it's ugly. But many say it's hot too. For me, the new design is really hot.

The UI. Touchwiz got a lot of new features. While sense 4 is mostly just some changes with the UI without something really new. Most of the new things in sense 4 are just changes of the appearance.

For the performance, Touchwiz feels better. It is smooth, while in sense I still found some lags. The browser of S3 is better too. One X got an annoying text wrapping feature.

Besides, sense is resource heavy. It eats RAM. It drains more battery than TouchWiz. TouchWiz is made to be simple and smooth. It doesn't eat RAM doesn't laggy.

So why do people say Sense > Touchwiz? Because TouchWiz is ugly? That's silly because looks are just personal preference. For me, sense is the one that looks ugly. It used to be beautiful, but sense 4 ruins it all. Besides, TouchWiz is more useful with its new features.

One X got framerate issues. It got annoying browser! And white one is ugly. So does HTC steal the show? Hell no.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
spoken like a true fanboy;) go get them tiger:D

each person has their own preference and no matter how much you try and convince people they still have their opinions. like you would bend over backwards for the s3 you will get the same with people for the One X...so chill out and just wait for the development to drop for the beast.

.like i said on another thread..it will be interesting few months when both the kernel sources drop for both phones and the development picks up for both..but to say that the One X does not have as quality stuff as TW you are wrong. Both have good points and bad..Just depends what you been use to
[Galaxy S III General] mage3:
Yes, naturally expectations for gs3 were high, but Samsung went lengths to hype it even more, to the max. HTC one series was presented much more down to earth IMO.

I hope that in the end this proves good for the industry as Samsung was close to dominating the android market.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Removable battery = NEVER having to worry about rationing use of the device or ever even caring about battery life benchmarks. This is huge for those of us who use our devices without regard to time or place. You will never see me posting battery benchmarks......don't care if I get 4 hours.

Swappable SD card = moving all 32GB of my Music plus all my pics and data to my other devices. I don't take the Note everywhere. sometimes I will use my back up and just swap the SD Card. Also means not having to buy or use ATT data to stream my OWN content from the cloud. $10 MediaNet is good enough for the limited carrier data I use because i have a 64GB SD card plus 16GB on the device. Movies Music pics Videos and still plenty to spare.

Not having either of these is a deal breaker. I had an iPhone. I know what its like to have to "ration" use to conserve battery life. I have extra batteries available all the time. They are cheap and plentiful. I know what its like not to be able to add content without dealing with iTunes or the "cloud" I like the idea of pluging my "mass storage device" into ANY PC to collect or move content.

WOLFSON DAC.....seals the deal for me.

Design means nothing to me...I don't "wear" my phone..LOL I like the rounded corners to slip in and out of my pockets easier. Function over form.

Plastic is far better than metal or especially ceramic. lighter and more shock absorbing I don't use cases or screen protectors so I am okay with plastic backs that can be easily replaced. A cracked ceramic back would be expensive to replace. A two year at most for many device doesn't need Ceramic anything on it's case.

I cannot tell the difference between my screen on the Note and my SGS II or the HTC. They all do what they are supposed to well enough. From what I have read so far the SIII is the best device out there at this moment for my needs.

As long as Samsung makes these phones UNLIKE the iPhone I will buy them. HTC may as well have an Apple store APP.
[Galaxy S III General] Gene_Bailey:
+100000 this when it comes to the SD card. I actually use and need that. Because like this guy I have a ton of music, photos, and files that I move from phone to phone with using the SD card. The cloud is great, no argument from me, but seriously I refuse to spend the time uploading all of my crap to the cloud and then re downloading it to the phone every single time I switch phones. And no I don't buy into streaming my own stuff. If I wanted to stream music I'd use Pandora. If I own it, I better have access to its original pristine high quality copy at all times, Internet connection or no. So yes, for that reason and that alone, the SD card is a necessity. And that's one of the reasons I will be getting this phone instead of the HOX.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
I can see why the HOX chaps are bit miffed, I would be aswell if I had just signed up for 2 year's to find out that no micro SD and non removable batteries did not become the industry standard it was touted, I'm sure no one would have given up those 2 things out of choice??

the samsung build quality is utter crap..we all know the s3 is made of the same plastic crap you find on the s2..the polycarbonate casing of the one x is amazing..crap on it all you want..that’s a fact..lastly the s3 is ugly as sin and the one x is going to steal away a ton of potential s3 purchases..these are facts..this is more of a marketing fail than the product failing..enjoy wasting your time defending the disappointment of the s3
[Galaxy S III General] Darius:
Great points above about the benefits of removable batteries and sd cards... Removable battery is a must for me. I only charge batteries, not my mobile. Never have to worry about battery life...

If it's plugged in to charge then it's no longer "mobile" is it?
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Why would anyone care to defend your disappointment with the S3..... and of all things the form .

Form is the last thing people should care about on a cell phone. Unless they go waving their prized possession about seeking ooohs and ahhhhs and "approval" from others........rather trite............ like it's a fine Swiss watch.....I don't think so.

BTW "Build Quality" cannot be determined on a device that has not been dropped or especially on a device one does not even HAVE!!

[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
It really sounds, to me, that you think the one x is better no matter what. You talked about the one x Penta core chip as far as battery life, well user who own the one x have reported really bad battery life for the most part. I'm also a 100% sure that the user experience on the Galaxy S3 will be better than the one on the one x. The HTC lags, sense crashes and I don't have to remind you that it's using a quad core so what the hell? However, I think the one x looks better but obviously I have yet to see the S3, also everybody is saying that the one x screen is th best I'll give them that. I understand people have their opinions and some are disappointed but I think the S3 is gonna be a major hit, Samsung blew me away with the features they added to make good use of that quad core ( pop up play for example). HTC and nvidia haven't done anything to really take advantage of the tegra chip ( the snapdragon S4 performs even better at things sometimes).I think the design of the S3 is great, 4.8 inch is awesome, exynos 4 quad, removable battery with expandable memory. Simply amazing.
[Galaxy S III General] redhairedscot:
That's me. After my SGS I experience, the more open of the phones wins. Even with the superior hardware, I'm considering going with the Nexus just because of the software, even if the hardware is inferior. But I'll give them time to pry the phones open and see which one is the most customizable.

(Though I have to admit, external storage is nice when you watch DVDs on the stair machine.)
