No, but there is such thing as getting close, and since eyes can perceive colors without a microscope, I can safely claim that while both are great screens, S-LCD2 is greater for the eyes, and has other specs that I'd rather have (battery life, outdoor visibility). This isn't about PenTile, which is what your argument really addresses. I suppose that from now on I'll invest in a microscope though, apparently that helps me see color.

It does mean something in reality. Light is light. If someone intended for a certain wavelength of light to be emitted from a certain pixel, then that's exactly what should be seen. Please stop sounding ignorant like a few others in this thread, because for people who know anything this is just dumb. I suppose you'd be okay with dead colors and dim brightness if you could get your AMOLED blacks?

1. I think that the "HTC" people are actually just saying that the idea that SAMOLED will always be superior is dumb and this lack of critical thought means you aren't educated about your decision. There's no victory here, I am simply interested in technology and very much against falling for marketing.

The Galaxy Nexus screen is going to be in the SGS3, and the only difference so far seems to be that luminance shifts/mura is gone and the screen is slightly bigger.

If the Galaxy Nexus has any other screen issues, you can expect to see it on the SGS3.

If you care about microSD, removable battery, or Touchwiz, run with the SGS3 and just try to cover it up with a case. If those don't matter to you then go with the One X, you may be happier.

Yeah, samsung did a good job with the smoothness of their browser. But my gsii is on aokp (which is much, much better overall than stock Samsung) and so it can't take advantage of samsung's stock browser.

There are a lot of iPhone users interested in the HOX. I don't think they'll care for expandable storage nor removable battery. What they do care about though is actual battery life, and from what i can gather the iphone 4s still takes that:(.

I hate that tint!!. It's either dark and tinted or it's bright with a side of battery rape. (The tint while web browsing)

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

I think both the galaxy nexus and galaxy note have the blue tint. My gsii and captivate certainly do. It's highly likely the sgsiii will too (unless you turn up the brightness).

It looks like a girls phone to me. Take the ugliest phone you’ve seen. Now multiply that by 10. Done? That’s the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] Vegastouch:
If they wouldnt of givin the One S just 16 GB of space then that would be my first HTC a well. But it also doesnt have as good a FFC and the screen resolution isnt quite as good as the One X either. Thats why the SG3 is prety much where ill probably end up but i really dont want a big phone like that.

Hopefully it comes with a 4.5" screen in the US.
[Galaxy S III General] bluebobx:
I'm going to agree with most of what's above - although I'm going to hold final judgement until I've actually seen a real SGS3. Pictures and videos can be very misleading in my experience.

Interesting discussion viz screen technologies with good points being made all over. I'm getting the sense (no pun intended) that HOX v's SGS3

IS

really going to come down to a matter of personal taste - since I can't see Samsung screwing up so royally that non-experts will notice "odd" colour reproduction.

HOX or SGS3? As far as I can see they're both bl**dy good phones - definitely capable of taking on whatever Apple vomit up as the iPhone5. :D

Actually at the risk of getting flamed, I'd say NEITHER HOX or SGS3 are the #1 in looks - to me that honour

still

goes to the old SE Arc S. (And anyone who says the iPhone4/4S is beautiful either needs better glasses or a smack upside the head!) ;) I'm not a big fan of the "slab sided" look that seems to be common now - that's one reason why my current SE phone isn't being replaced with a Sony - just don't like the look of the current Xperia's.

I'm no Samsung fanboy (because I've never owned anything by them - other than a very, very old MP3 player many years ago) but the HOX is "wrong" for me personally, so I'll probably be going SGS3 or Asus PadFone.
[Galaxy S III General] Wanderer_Zero:
USA HOX has dual core, GS3 has 1.4 quad core, up to 64gb built in storage, sd card slot, removable battery, 1.9mp hd front camera.... I love htc and all, but Just sayin.

Very disappointed in HTC after their speech of not releasing a ton of phones that are hardly any different. That and built in battery seems to have pretty bad overheating problems so far. But that's me I guess.
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
HTC steals the show? No way man.

I cannot understand why HTC comes out with the ideas of non removable battery and no sd card slot. If these ideas could make the phone more efficient, smoother UI and power last longer (> 2days), then I solute them. But this is not the case. HOX still as laggy as other android phone and battery only last less than half a day with heavy usage. Sometimes when my phone is out of my reach for some reason, i still can take the sd card and carry on to what I want to do. With HOX, I'm out of luck unless I transfer all 32gb into cloud. Oh i forgot, HOX only has 25gb dropbox. HTC always going wrong direction. HOX is like a bigger size version of Iphone running Android OS.......
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
The overheating is only on the quad core version not the dual core version.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
There's a solution to all of your perceived problems, if you are willing to accept that there are other (sometimes more convenient) ways of doing things.

Regarding cloud storage, all of my photos are automatically backed up to dropbox, and music is on Google music. Important documents are on my laptop or cloud storage, and videos are usually on my laptop and transferred to my phone if I want to watch them.

25gb dropbox + 50gb box + 25gb? Skydrive + 6gb? Google drive means that cloud storage is adequate for most people.
[Galaxy S III General] mohsinraza:
What I've concluded uptil now is that FEELING OF NOT HAVING SD CARD & REMOVABLE BATTERY is more prominent in comments rather the usage!

People say, "oh! Don't have an sd card?" But won't ever care if it doesn't have.

Both phones are a real beast. SGSIII is definitely ahead when it comes to performance (as I watched hands on videos of SIII on youtube) but you've got to credit the beautiful design, UI and build quality of HTC.

HTC has cut down sense 4.0 a lot compared to 3.5 but still it needs to be a bit more optimized. But with OTAs coming in, the battery and performance has got a real boost in HOX.

Waiting for S3 to come on shelves so I can decide what way I'm going to. Had the design and build quality (glossy surface looks cheap) and UI been better I'd have gone for S3 in no time.

(Not a fanboy comment) :D

IIRC The Hox has 26GB of available storage.(Plz correct me if I'm wrong)

Cloud streaming seems like a good idea, but if you have ever travelled on the train to London which is 2ish hour run, & just watch how many times the signal drops completely!!!

Cloud is not really an all encompassing solution to the Storage of media.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Have done that journey many times (although not streaming) and can only remember losing signal for a minute or two at a time. Google music buffers well in advance so shouldn't be a prob, but would love to hear from someone that has done it.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
64Gb Card ordered I'd rather not worry about it ;)

I went to London last week and my T-Mobile signal was off more than it was on. I really like to watch movies and TV stuff on the train are you suggesting I should stream those from a cloud service also? Bearing in mind the files are 3-4gb for a movie and with the limited 26Gb the HOX offers I would soon easily hit its limits.

I just wonder how long the battery would last streaming for 2hours, with no option use a spare, I suppose I could lug a portable charging thing but its just another thing to carry/lose/forget to take.

Where as a spare battery just slips into pocket, I'm not saying the HOX is a bad phone but these are just real world concerns that do effect ones overall buying decision.
[Galaxy S III General] -Grift-:
lol wonder why only the pro s3 post are getting thanks ;) jking Huge bummer for me for s3 is the plastic back...( got a bit bored of smooth plastic,but can always get a cover ) But pros are SDcard slot and the removable battery ( both helps a lot when you brick you phone not all is lost and the removable battery can be useful when the phone freezes )

Do people buy there Tech based on what it looks like, mind you I suppose that where companies like B&O and Bose get their customer base from.

[Galaxy S III General] nebsif:
HTC's build quality is as overhyped as the GS3 specs pre-may. They are using fancy materials yes, but the build quality is derp.

My bro's sensation touchscreen stopped working randomly one day, w/o him dropping the thing.

Plently of other "epic build quality" examples with one X and one S, gaps, screen not glued good to the unibody, chipping, over-heating..
[Galaxy S III General] spyrale:
I invite you in Italy, see for yourself how streaming media from cloud is just a dream. We don't even have Google music. I don't understand why htc owners don't stick to the appropriate sub forum instead coming here trying to prove the phone they bought is the best. what's the point? Ho(a)x screen is better, ok, now what? Why nobody mention that sgs 3 display uses the same technology of the note one? you can move things on screen even with fingernails or any other object. I will never say the Hox is a great phone, it isn't in my opinion, no phone with non removable battery and sd support can be defined like that by me. besides, proposed workaround are just ridiculous for people used to swap batteries and carrying around their stuff without relaying on connection. I'll give you a workaround for pentile hd display... just enjoy it.

Sorry for my english.

I own.$1 s2 one x ..... but the specs of s3 are almost same then whats the point !
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
If I did not want to hassle with extra batteries, Deal with a dreaded SD Card, and depend solely on the Cloud for streaming of all my data........ Personally I would get an iPhone before the HTC.

Since HTC is everything I dislike about IPhone, I don;t see where the competition is. HTC and iPhone are now birds of a feather in Carrier and Manufacturer control.

Samsung is still as user centric as it has been since the captivate and keeps getting better. When iPhone comes out with a 4" screen HTC is rendered moot on all fronts with it's locked bootloader. May as well surrender to the Apple Gods. They are almost there.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Believe it or not. many do. If they could wear the device around their necks ala Flava Flav, they would. I understand design in home furnishings, even B & O and Bose as I consider them home furnishings as they are always seen as well as HiFi equipment..In a phone's case one would have to view it as a jewelery accessory in the same example, and I just don't see that connection.

F U N T I O N over form when it comes to certain things. If one can get both... great. but one mans art is another man's dirty napkin.

HTC has a high quality finish ???

are u kidding me ???

My DHD had dust under my screen after 2 months of using it

also my sensation did the same thing in about 3 months

i'v never had a problem like this at my SGS2

HTC Quality my a**
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
Sad how people hate on apple products.... I think a lot of people wouldn't mind a a device built by apple and running Android. Why? Apple takes quality F*cking seriously. They make the damn phone feel, look, and perform well. They emphasize the user experience because the common user wants a good experience. If HTC can copy that and Samsung doesn't do the same, Samsung will be conceding smartphone marketshare to HTC.

I have owned 7 HTC devices... I must say I have had major issues with 5 and minor issues with one.

When I say major problems I don't mean just with my phone I mean I have ordered multiples of each type via insurance and had problems. As well as fellow XDA Members with the same issues.

Plus bootloaders *may* get unlocked to start with HTC but when they release a new OTA it often comes with a newly locked loader.

To each their own.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
On the gsii we could still get the update without having to update the bootloader... maybe... haha, i've been using AOKP for too long. But i'm pretty sure i remember the devs for our phone telling us to wait so they can clean up a new update by Samsung to make sure crap like a new bootloader was scrubbed away.
[Galaxy S III General] TheUnkn0wn:
So... 10 HTC's = 1 S3? I agree!

I honestly think all HTC's look the same. It's like someone has drooped white tack over an LCD screen. Doesn't really appeal to me.
[Galaxy S III General] bluebobx:
You'll find that a lot of folks "hate" on Apple gear because of the sh*ty attitude of the "experts" (ha!) that recommend them. You know, the "if you don't buy what I did then you're a freakin' moron".

As to "Apple take quality --- seriously" - no they don't. They do enough to get them by and that's it - same as any other company. Anyone who wants to portray them as some kind of Rolls-Royce of the phone world is either a fool or a fanboy. Looks? You'd be surprised the number of folks that say that the last real good looking Apple device (phone, pod or pad) was the 3GS. And please don't get me started on their tablets ... ;) (Asus Transformer fan - need I say more?)

Arsaw's comment that the HOX was an iPhone running Android is one I can see some merit in actually. Especially since the HTC ad's I've seen/read have focussed on the user experience - exactly like Apple. And as you rightly say, Apple's known for "simple above all" and there's times when us Android users could do with some of that! :D Personally, I think the HOX IS a quite attractive design - mayhaps (echoing Arsaw) it's the 'droid phone that the iPhone 3GS design team would come up with.

Likewise, if the PR fluff is to be believed then TouchWiz (who thinks up the daft names for these UI's?) 5.0 is a good deal improved over v4.0. Personally I kind of liked the look of Sense, (never owned an HTC either - yet), and the continued vocal disatisfaction with Kies fills me with foreboding. Actually, last post I saw said Kies had all the bugs and drawbacks of iTunes and SE's old updater put together... O..M..G !!! 8-o

Really off topic - given Samsung Mobile USA's love of using their new gadget to tweak Apple's nose, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what they can do with the S3 as ammunition. That said, the "I believe..." ad for the Galaxy Note has got to be the high point for me (still makes me laugh).
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
You know what's funny, a lot of the people commenting positively on the One X own/ed current Samsung products (myself included). We're not pimply faced kids coming here to flame and troll. We're also not Samsung "haters" and HTC "fanbois;" otherwise we wouldn't still be speaking and thinking of Samsung positively.

For the first time, HTC's actually released a competitive product. If you asked me a couple of months ago if I'd own an HTC phone I would have said "hell no." I can easily go through a couple of phones a year; it's a hobby. I kept the i9100 for almost a year, the longest I've held on to a phone. It was that good.

The only reason I got a One X was so that I could sell my i9100 before the SGS3 was released and get more money for it. My thinking was I'd play with the One X for a couple of weeks then flip it when the SGS3 became available. Two things happened. First, the One X turned out to be a really good phone. Aside from sacrificing design for a non-replaceable battery and removable storage, I have nothing negative to say about it. And I'm as critical and anal retentive as anyone in this thread. The second thing that happened is that the SGS3 is different than I expected. The design's polarizing and most of the advances are in features not h/w and physical attributes.

So, at least for me, what should have been an easy one horse race (with the SGS3 and Samsung winning) is now a contest. I'm still getting the SGS3 and any judgment of it will be based on using it as my daily driver; not inane debate on forums. But if it ends up being the phone I keep I'll still have high praise for what HTC's done with the One X. If someone prefers M-B to BMW, that doesn’t mean BMW’s bad (or vice versa). The same applies here. Look at it this way. If you want Samsung to stay on their toes, healthy competition does that. HTC being successful will make Samsung and their products better. If the One X being good makes the SGS4 better; I’m all for it.

And can we stop the QC bull****? Any of you that flip devices frequently know that in the past year no device launched hasn’t had both h/w and s/w issues. And for those with short memories, the front page of the SGS2 forum looked like a toxic waste dump the first couple of weeks after launch with Samsung pushing out updates almost weekly. The GN launch was no walk in the park and anybody with an i9100 knows the issues with the ICS update. The Experia S has issues. The One’s have issues. And the SGS3 will have issues. Saying otherwise is just naïve. As they say, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

[Galaxy S III General] gaspernemec:
just my two cents here...I dont really know why all the talking about HOXs design and comparing it with SGSIII, well yeah SGSIII design didnt "take my breath away", but i dont really know whats so "revolutinary" in HOX design, its-as opposed to SGSIII more rectangular....+i dont really know why such a hassle about SGS and onscreen buttons since "its biggest competitor" doesnt have them eighter....i dont really know why such a dissapointment-materials-both all made of polycarbonate, however most hate has been brought upon SGSIII from its "shiny" exterior...my feel about HOX is that it is beautiful phone-however things i dislike about EACH and EVERY HTC phone is that it looks so fragmentated...whatever-everyone has its own taste...as about HW specs-i dont know why such a dissapointment there, what did you expect? 2GHZQuadcore? 2gb ram?... in my opinion you dont need such an specs on mobile phone-system must get more optimized and efficient-instead of endless specs increase...
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
Referencing a Captivate in comparison to either the SGS3 or One X doesn't trumpet credibility. Behind the god awful O2X/G2X, it is the second worst phone every unleashed on the public. All of the U.S. carrier versions of the i9000 were a mess and usually not discussed in the same breath as the international version.

Those in the U.S aren't even getting a true SGS3. Like before, you'll be getting a S4-based model with all the typical carrier based h/w and s/w molestation that occurs. Because of that you'll also have a separate U.S.-only forum. Incidentally, the U.S. version of the SGS3 will perform identically to the U.S. version of the One X as they'll be using the same SoC and radios.

So unless those in the U.S. are planning to pay $750+ outright, the phone being discussed in this forum will only faintly resemble what you'll receive. And your phone will be out in "Summer" which if history repeats itself means September 21.
[Galaxy S III General] ilostmypistons:
US verions of SGSIII and ONE X will NOT perform identical.. GPU will come into play
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
The S4 uses the Adreno 225, a very modest refresh to the 220 used in the S3. So they'll both use the same GPU.

I'd expect the order of performance to be:

1) Mali 400+

2) Teg3

3) Adreno 225

[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
Dude, I don't know whether you're doing it accidentally or intentionally but you've twice posted misleading information about the One X. Pics of the yellow screen and now battery life. The One XL gets fantastic battery life; especially for an LTE phone. That’s why Samsung’s using the S4 chip in LTE versions of the SGS3. And the SGS3 with the same S4 chip that everyone in the U.S. is most likely getting will get similar battery life. The international Teg3 One X (which you have no experience with) on the other hand gets adequate (I'm being kind) battery life but no more. And comparing the AT&T One XL is meaningless to 2/3 of the people on this forum as the phone's not even offered outside parts of Asia and North America. The same thing will apply to the LTE version of the SGS3.

Stop posting inaccurate or misleading information and I'll stop challenging it. I'd do the same thing if someone was mischaracterizing the SGS3. People come here to get opinions and possibly make decisions based on them which is the only reason for my countering your posts. I have no interest in what phone you choose or why.

So far, here's the list of issues I've found after using the One X for three weeks:

1) Battery life's not great and the non-replaceable battery doesn't help.

2) HTC's method of dealing with the ICS settings menu in non-updated apps takes up screen space at the bottom of the display; Samsung's approach is better.

3) There's no LinkedIn integration in their social apps.

4) They omitted Voice Dialer and none of the ICS APK's I've found work so I have to use Vlingo for BT calling and it draws on an already average battery.

5) Google Books and Movies don't show up in the app drawer even though they're loaded on the phone.

6) Google Wallet doesn't work.

7) You have to use an older hacked version of Amazon MP3 in order to access music stored on the cloud.

8) GPS was better on the i9100.

Those are real issues affecting every phone. Not like a random QC-related yellow screen or single non-objective battery life report. I’m not blind to the phone’s issues and won’t be blind to the SGS3’s either. Peace out.
