Both phones will be great, no doubt. However, I think the Galaxy S III's design is just odd. The super rounded corners, glossy plastic finish, hollow feel (according to reviewers), just doesn't resonate well with me.

I got my AT&T One X today and this phone is simply amazing. Design is great and screen is the best I've seen on a phone. The Galaxy S III's screen will basically be what's on the Nexus. Comparing both the Nexus and One X side by side on my desk, there is a very noticeable difference in screen quality. Its like the Nexus has a thin blue sheet over the screen at all times and at low brightness the background is incredibly fuzzy and grainy.

I'm just really, really confused as to why HTC didn't include an SD card slot, or at least make the AT&T model 32GB. I don't really care about non removable battery, but man, more storage would definitely be nice.

Its looking like Samsung made the design so weird so they'd be on good terms with Apple. Everything that's weird about the design is basically everything Apple wanted changed: Squarish corners, same size bezels, black around screen etc.

Sony will bankrupt as soon as possible. No one buys sony. Megapixels do not determine the quality of a camera. If you want phones that could shoot photos with bull**** big resolution, just go for crappy nokia pureview running old symbian.

If plastic is crap, then polycarbonate is crap too.

S3 is hot in my opinion.

That's just your opinion, not facts.

Can't you differentiate between facts and opinions? For instance, fact is like when I say Samsung is the biggest smartphone vendor, and when I say the Galaxy S line will always be the most wanted androids.

Marketing fail? Samsung is the best android manufacturer at marketing. Want a prove? Samsung is the biggest android manufacturer.

AT&T HTC One X bootloader denied official unlock solution due to 'restrictions'

Why do you say someone is biased for expressing his "subjective" opinion just as you do? Woudl it not be better if you just respect their opinions as theirs. Some of these are very personal preference-based opinions not facts. Facts are what you can state with values, quantity, and other concrete expressions. We are all here because of our passion for Android phones. BTW, they are both wonderful phones---so much better than the iPhones. lol :)

AT&T HTC One X bootloader denied official unlock solution due to 'restrictions':p
[Galaxy S III General] mohsinraza:
So... After discussion. I may put some facts together.

* Display: The display of One X is better ofcourse as compared to pentile display on S3.

* Design: The curvy glossy plastic type look is just awkward for a flasghip phone. Wanted Samsung to get rid of it btw. Both have polycarbonate but HTC has a more textured finish making it look like a ceramic touch as compared to glossy looking S3.

* Dimensions: Yes 0.3mm lesser in width. S3 wins here.

* Camera: Samsung hasn't provide anything new and mind boggling that HTC isn't already offering. ImageSense chip has got to be credited here.

* Processor: 1.4GHz Quad Core Exynos vs 1.5GHz Tegra 3 Quad Core (4+1) would have a minimal difference. The picture would be more clear as we'll see some reviews. Comparitively slightly lesser heat and longer battery may be the plus points of Exynos here but (4+1) of Tegra is quite efficient as well.

* Battery: Exchangable battery is a plus point of S3 but power optimisation in Tegra has already proved that 1800mAh in ONE X is better than extended battery of 2100mAh of Galaxy Nexus. (Because of companion core, I reckon)

UI: The sense is definitely better looking UI for sure. The icons, animations, the entire layout and overall experience is better in Sense.

Performance: S3 has shown has some outstanding benchmmarks and it's a performance beast within itself but one can never trust benchmarks. Everytime you run the benchmark you get entirely different score (atleast in Quadrant Advanced).

Expandable Storage: Ofcourse S3. But this won't hurt a large number of customers because they'd need ages to fill 25+25 GBs of space on One X. But we ain't talking in particular here. As a general review, YES! S3 has the option and is the winner in this respect.

Conclusion:

The Design, Look & UI is definitely better in HTC but the S3 is gonna be a real performance beast. It's going to be an interesting Summer.

ANDROID FTW!

You do know that the SGSIII is using a newer CMOS sensor than the one found in the HTC One X right? And that the sensor found in the One X is the one that was in the SGSII. Samsung also has built and put into the SGSIII a new imaging processor which we won't be able to test until it comes out but it's fairly safe to say that given the fact that a) Samsung makes digital cameras and b) The SGSII took some damn good pictures, that the SGSIII will also, most likely, take really good pictures that may surprise some people and may even rival the iPhone 4S and yes, the One X.

Please don't think I'm trying to be a fan boy lol because I as well love the design of the One X and laud HTC as being the most innovative OEM to launch a phone so far this year, but it's worth giving credit where it's due and Samsung deserves some credit. I kind of wish they hadn't gone all "kill the specs and make it about nature" during the Unpacked event because this thing has specs out the ass. Wolfsan DAC, killer processor, large and removable battery, expandable storage as well as 50 gb of dropbox space, the camera, etc etc. If they had talked about specs, I think the reaction to the phone wouldn't have been NEARLY as bad because the more I find out about this phones specs the more I fall in love with it..

Speaking of the processor for a minute and battery life too, the One X probably won't match the SIII on battery life. I understand about the companion core and what not but the Exynos is based off of a 32nm process which is WAY more power efficient than the 40+nm fab process the T3 is based off of. Also, just like the T3 it can activate and kill cores as needed and can scale up and down between around 300mhz and 1.4ghz the clock speed of each individual processor as needed so that it doesn't force on cores when it doesn't have to. Of course, time will tell, but in theory the SGSIII should last considerably longer than the HOX

Had the SIII had removed the Pentile display, a huge number of people would have picked the SIII as the "winner" over the HTC One X. OK, well a huge number of XDA members.

What we say here doesn't move the needle jack squat. Sad, but true.

It is super odd that every phone always has what we deem a bonafide "flaw". These companies aren't idiots. They have to be holding out some specs / features on purpose. I blame their marketing and business division, not the engineers and techies within the company.
[Galaxy S III General] OrrPenn18:
Exactly, every phone has its pro's and con's! Only development will seal the deal for both the devices!

I was talking about hardbricking! :p no JTagging and stuff! Though I don't know how HTC devices work in bricking part!

Anyways, I'm ready with my popcorn! *Munch Munch* :p :D
[Galaxy S III General] Daughain:
It's fun to see everyone pushing their fav, but in the end it comes down to what is convenient for most people. The SIII has many useful features for the average user. Personally, I make decisions for 3 people, including myself, about phones. For two of them I will be recommending the SIII based on the software and service enhancements. If the S-Health thing works like I hope, that alone will be the reason in one case. Personally, I'm looking at the HTC One S.

Oh, something noone has mentioned is the wireless charging option on the SIII. Being familiar with this from Palm devices, it is one hell of a convenience. Drop your device on the cradle, and forget about it. Charged when you pick it up. Minor detail here is that a metal plate between the battery and charger(metal back) causes issues up to explosion/combustion. As inductive charging becomes standard, you will see less metal. Get used to it.

The one x failed with no expandable memory but hearing people say touchwiz is better then sense is pure fanboy nonsense. No pun intended.

I really was considering this phone. Its Fricking ugly tho lol. I may still get it
[Galaxy S III General] chrstphrbrnnn:
I've never really liked HTC at all. I certainly don't think it's stolen any shows from the SIII, but I am a little sad I've wasted a month waited for the SIII and still don't know when it's coming out. Shoulda kept my Nexus.

S3 can't feel as an ics device

Android 2.x h/w key is the biggest disappointment.

They copy and make all the things as ios that is the huge letdown for me.

No need for svoice not much useful in india

Virtual navigation in galaxy nexus is extrordinary

One of the worst design I have ever seen for the smartphone

S3 always feel as Android 2.x device.

S3 has a huge screen compared to nexus and one x

The truth -

the phone you have right now always feels boring dumb and not interesting after 2-3 week that's a fact you buy one x today a week after you say s3 is better and after buying that you say note 2 in future is better........... Its a fact I own s2 but the features (software) of s3 really are attractive which as usual going to ported to the Samsung galaxy s2!!!!

so ..ck you s3

[Galaxy S III General] blackstar_329:
I could care less about the phone design. I'm more one hardware and how I will use the phone day in and day out. Plus I have yet to see how the US s3 will look. Every company has their own disappointments some where down the line . Many people believe the s3 is sasmungs but yet I really don't see. Once the US version is shown then maybe I will make my design then. I have only played with the One x which is an amazing phone but how can I compare it with the s3 when I have yet to even hold it? So hopefully att and the other carries improve on the phones design. Until then I see both phones as solid phones aiming at selling their phones to different kinds of people. I cant wait to see how the s3 sells.On the side note at least its not like blackberry and rim haha.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
It's interesting to see the opinion of some people, especially those that are so adamant that you must have a removable battery, and removable sd.

My previous phone had a removable battery. The only time I switched it was to replace with a larger battery. The only time I ever need extra battery power and am not near a power source is on longhaul flights, and I have a 5000mah portable power supply for that.

Regarding sd cards, the only time I changed sd cards on my previous phone was to switch my 8gb to 16gb. My photos are backed up to dropbox and my music is on Google music.

I know it's each to their own and all that, but sometimes people are so used to doing things their way, that any change is a bad thing. I can't think of anything worse than constantly having to pull my phone apart to switch batteries or sd cards, and I'd guess that 90% of consumers would be the same as me. Even if the phone designers intended for people to be switching batteries and sd cards constantly, surely they would have a nicer solution than having to pull the entire back off your phone?

My 2c.
[Galaxy S III General] intruda119:
I finally have a chance to watch some videos, and look at pictures. Im guessing its just a fad at the moment but I really dont see what exactly the problem is with the gs3 design.

Since the original sgs, samsung has been going for thin and light. The sgs, sgs2, sgs3, and sgs3 are all made out of plastic. I treat my devices like **** after the honey moon period and have never had an issue with chipping parts, dust under screen or anything like that. Usually on most galaxy devices ive seen, the metal/plastic chrome bezel piece is the first to scratch. But every device ive used/seen with a bezel tends to take damage. My wifes iphone does hold up well but im pretty sure thats some type of metal.

But overall the galaxy line so far has been very durable. Ive used all my galaxy devices naked.

I cant say the same for LG devices nor HTC prior to the one x line. Unibody is pretty but I had issues with older devices and have read similar complaints about their newer phones. Ive owned every HTc(Winmo/Win7,Android) device besides the Sensation(had it maybe 2 days just to flip $).

To me, gs3 looks decent. Looks like a mix between my orignal sgs and the nexus. I personally like the box look of my sgs2 and note but the rounded edges doesnt look bad at all. Really trying to figure out the negativity about the design. What did you guys expect from samsung when they are looking to build a light and thin device. They were still able to add a 2100mah battery also. I figured from all the lawsuits we would have to see some type of change. I truly dont understand what people are looking for. How many ways can you build a rectangular object.

I guess im the only using Vlingo also.

Only con I see is the screen type. I thought we would see something different. By watching the vids on youtube, there focus was mainly on software.
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
The One X is a beautiful looking phone.

The G SII is kind of dorky looking.

The One X only has 16GB internal, doesn't have a micro SD slot and you can't upgrade the battery to a decent size. So,,, I'll go with the G SIII.
[Galaxy S III General] figgy132:
This has likely been mentioned before but the HTC one X might look nice but battery life is a laugh, about 2 hours screentime and it was screaming to be connected to a charger, also after I disabled all the crap that I could (not rooted) the scrolling was still a jittery, sluggish mess, I also found the screen very dull unless running brightness above 75%!!! saying that I haven't seen the sgs3, could be just as ****e :)
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
Four hours screen on time and that was before I was rooted. Now I get five each time. So its how you use it. Not **** just cause you said so. There are ways to fix that. But everyone to their own taste
[Galaxy S III General] :
Mines terrible.. just manage to reach 3 hours screen time. Thats why. I'm switching to the GS3, as well as I won't SD cards and removable battery. Brother already sold his One X but he hated it.. I like the One X, just can't stand the battery life. Looking forward to my GS3 now :) by each to their own.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
exactly. i said that so many times when people starting moaning about this discussion. i loved my s2 to death. yes it was plastic. but it felt good in my hand and when i dropped it no scratches or anything. so plastic is good but there is something the design about the s3 makes me want to get a hammer and smash it:p but if i did not had my one x i would for sure be getting it due to the good specs of the phone. samsung focused more on the software this time around and they do have a winner if for me most of the apps are kinda pointless but still it is a good selling point for them...

so yeah all i will say bring on the development..kinda need my AOSP or AOKP roms to play with and see the true power of my phone and i would say the same for those who want the same from the s3
[Galaxy S III General] lostsoul:
Those where my findings exactly!

The washed out screen and the sluggishness where so ugly and annoying.

And the battery was so messed up. I unplugged it from the charger on 100% and after a few minutes it jumped to like 30%
[Galaxy S III General] blueseeker:
Just played for a half an hour with the One X (tegra3) and all I can say is that is has GREAT Design but the software SUCKS. SGSII kicks his ass anyday.

I tried the default browser, chrome and opera and they all suck. The default browser is pretty good but on big pages if you pinch and zoom you have to wait at least a full second to process the fonts and pictures. Bad experience. Maybe the S4 version is much better, don't know.

Sense UI stutters from time to time for no obvious reason. Sometimes, even on app drawer.

The screen resolution is VERY Good but vs an AMOLED screen doesn't stand a chance. Lumia 800 pentile screen vs the One X's wins hands down.

If I put aside the crappy design, SGSIII is the phone to buy ...
[Galaxy S III General] jk0l:
I've edited my (rant) comment because I find it's rather entertaining to read people silly complains instead of telling them what I find logical.

Also, it's amusing to me because people right now are acting just like the iFanBoy.

And the iFanBoy is one of the top reasons that has made me dislike Apple and its products.

If you like something over another, there's no need to go hating and saying **** about the one you don't like.

[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
Not an issue at all. I'm on a 12 month contract.

No MicroSD card, for me not an issue. Google Music & Spotify take care of music. Cloud solutions take care of backups etc. I don't watch movies on my phone.

No removable battery, once again not an issue for me. HOX battery serves me well.

Look at the iPhone the industry leader, no removable SD no battery but it still outsells many devices on a daily basis.

If the Samsung S3 had no micro SD or battery and I'd waited to get that I still would have gotten one.

Both phones are lovely. Both phones have their own unique features. But I think Samsung are trying to go the Apple way and we'll start seeing incremental updates.

The next game changer will the iPhone 5, regardless of what it will have or what not it will outsell the HOX and the SGS3 in numbers.

It'll be an interesting year, WP8 along with Nokia I really hope they push and push big it could be an excellent device. WP8 could be the thing to shake the industry a bit.

Looking towards the future, there's not much hardware wise that can be improved on, quad core is not fully maximised, cameras will get better etc, we need to start seeing new things and next few years should be interesting for all.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Give it time, all software issues will be resolved with OTAs. One good thing about HTC they do release a constant stream of updates.

Regarding the screen, AMOLED is fine but SLCD2 is lovely. I for one prefer LCD over AMOLED, in brighter days the SLCD works far better.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Again ignore this, nothing wrong with the battery on the HOX. It's all software optimisation. Heck my SGS with a 1500mah battery only lasts me 8-9 hours before it dies. With future updates and better driver optimisation and custom kernels HOX battery life will get better.

As consumers we have a choice, make your choice, enjoy your device, end of. You'll be happy with either the HOX or SGS3. Both are current top end Android phones and owning either is nothing to be disappointed about.

A quick review of one x:

Its fast, stable and the design is subjectively nice.

Far from pixelissue, yellow clouds... the display is really nice.

BUT the browser is laggy comperd to a S2 it felt really horrible

AND the cam shot good photos but the vids are more then poor.

This is it. One X is a good phone without any highlights...

The S2 was leading the toplist for a year, the One x will never get on top and the S3 is waiting to climbe it...
