I'm very happy about my HTC One X, I bought it a week ago and everyone was like "wait for the S3 cause it will be better", but out of confidence, I didn't think Samsung is able to make a device as beautifully crafted (In terms of both UI and design) device that's able to deliver a better user experience.

Those were my impressions before the announcement, after the announcement, my One X has a better design, a better camera, a better screen, a better UI. S3 might overtake it in areas like a barometer, battery, microSD and a slightly better processor, but my HTC takes all the specs that are mostly important for me.

+1 the sgs3 look ugly compare to the hox:)

i am going for the hox much sexyer;)
[General Topics] shankly1985:
One X all the way, that thing is ugly lol. Question about the CPU how do we know its better than tegra 3?

Any benchmarks to prove this? and is it a noticeable difference...

Looks like my Mrs sensation xl and a palm pre got it on and the gs3 was born

Except Samsung doesn't have the sturdy built I feel with HTC
[General Topics] dragon546:
Well Moto is the obvious choice ain't Google trying to keep the other manufacturers sweet by offering them the nexus.
[General Topics] mitas35:
even if the cpu is a bit slower there is nothing the HOX cant run for the next 2 years:D

so whats the poind of baying an ugly devise for little more power??:cool:
[General Topics] treebill:
it might have a removable SD card but why do you need that? my last phone had that and well once it was put in it was never taken out i always just connected phone to the USB and mounted the SD, also 23 GB of online backup that you can use to back up my photos and then sync them to my PC was the kicker for me thats why i didn't wait for the S3
[General Topics] shankly1985:
So true, Am just wondering why people keep saying the CPU is better, when we have zero proof of this.

And I dont mean leaked benchmarks, I want hard proof.... The spec of S3 have been blowing way over board theses last couple weeks, so You never know what to believe.
[General Topics] hapticc:
samsung galaxy s3 is just feature loaded like svoice sbeam etc which i bet htc one x will be updated soon by htc. count july for that update. and devs will port it by may itself. one thing more s3 gonna burn if u would have used s2 you would know how hot it gets and new exynos will be more hotter which will be emminent soon after the launch
[General Topics] mitas35:
in my opinion the thing can destroy the one x is HTC by not fixing the bugs fast:(
[General Topics] AndyG1985:
Apparently has wireless charging capabilities which is only thing i like the look of. Look like they're going down the Apple route, small hardware upgrades and "amazing revolutionary" software upgrades.

Still prefer my One X though as others have said.
[General Topics] Pluto:
Probably to the naming, "32nm" is more advanced than Tegra 3's "40nm"

But if Exynos doesn't have a Tegra-like battery-life management system, expect the battery to be inferior to the One X
[General Topics] ste1164:
Sooo happy I have one OX. I prefer the design and sense to touchwiz.
[General Topics] DomCowell:
Wireless charging in that you put it on a dock - which I guess will be plugged in anyway - seems like a massive gimmick - couch HP touchstone cough.

Gotta say I a, now really happy with my one x choice!
[General Topics] BarryH_GEG:
Well, part of the reason the dual-core S4 performs as well as the quad-core Teg3 is the efficiency of 28nm vs. 42nm. So the Exynos 4212 at 32nm with four cores should outperform them both. Teg3 is two outdated A9 chips glommed together whereas both S4 and the new Exynos are new designs. That's why the S4 eats Teg3's lunch when it comes to battery life. I'd guess the SGS3 will have more power

and

get better battery life. The updated Mali 400 with double the memory b/w should be impresive too. So while the hard data's not out, on paper, the SGS3 should be king of the benchmarks. But since no one uses benchmarks in every day life, does it really matter once you pass a certain point?
[General Topics] mardon85:
Wow what an anti climax!

HOX is a better looking phone. Looking forward to benchmarks. Not that they will be worlds apart in day to day usage.
[General Topics] wavesshock:
Really, the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S III Makes HTC's design even more attractive! Who agrees that the SGS II looks better than SGS III?
[General Topics] tkolev:
It looks rediculous. That's what happens when Apple doesn't release a new design for it's 4S. They have to steal Google's design. Or maybe they had some casings laying around from the last Nexus - it's a shame to throw them away. Heat them up to expand a bit, paint them blue (maybe they had some blue paint left from their latest best selling vacuum cleaner - who knows) and you get a brand new phone! Of course you have to add some useless stuff - wasting battery on the camera to see if you have your face turned at it is my favorite.

Man, that's one ugly phone...
[General Topics] DJ Set:
This year is a year for HTC. I didn't like the design of SGS2 already but SGS3 is even more uglier. Good that HTC build this beauty and were first with it. I don't regret buying this phone at all. Noone can top this design :D
[General Topics] Pudex:
I'm very happy now.. S3 is definitely a great phone but it doesn't look nearly as finished as HOX. Screen looks awful with that pentile screen and it continues to look like PLASTIC. Just some useless features... I like to use my phone with fingers not with eyes lol... so, I'm very pleased with my choice to continue with HTC now.
[General Topics] winwiz:
for me the wireless charging is the reason to change
[General Topics] tkolev:
Another useless feature IMHO.
[General Topics] jaspabt:
I was a little worried, but seeing the Galaxy Fugly 3 has confirmed I was right to go with the One X. Only bit I like is the direct call (when messaging someone you can put phone to your ear and it will call them straightaway. It would save me 2 button presses! )
[General Topics] Fightspit:
...and it takes a lot of time to charge their 2000+ mah battery...
[General Topics] chrisjcks:
She said you place the phone on a pad & it charges ...

Why does that sound like the HOX 5 pin dock connectors...

Place the HOX on a pad (dock) & it charges, wirelessly.

Hmm.
[General Topics] tkolev:
Maybe they have put all the 40 pin Apple connectors they had laying around on their Galaxy Tabs and some manager came up with the idea of having wireless charging he saw a picture of in a magazine called 'Most useless stuff ever' :D
[General Topics] BarryH_GEG:
I do. I wouldn't call the SGS3 ugly but with all the sensors and lenses all over it the design's certainly not very sleek.

Some of the features described in the launch presentation seem gimmicky to me. It appears to have the same static and useless lock screen with some new animations. Some of the picture tagging and social app improvements seem cool. So does the voice control app (assuming it's not just Vlingo on steroids). It being able to know when you’re looking at it to stay on is a smart feature too. They didn't talk much about TW 4.0 which leaves me to believe it's not that different. With 20% better battery life than the SGS2 that's something to think about. I'm getting about 15% less battery life on my One X than I did with my i9100.

I'll probably get one on the 29th to play with (blue, I think the white looks like a kid’s toy) and compare them side-by-side. If history repeats itself they'll be impossible to get and the only size at launch will be the 16GB. I'm guessing the 32GB will be at least 100GBP more than the One X. I'll eBay whichever I don't keep. I'll do some comparisons and post them when I get it. I really like the One X and Sense so it'll be a difficult decision unless the SGS3 is more impressive in person than it looked in the reveal.
[General Topics] MrPhilo:
I think the white version looks good in my opinion, looks way more premium than the peddle blue.

I might change phone, but i'll see, battery life should be on par though, regardless of the efficient 32nm and battery on web browsing due to the nature of Super Amoled sucking 3x more battery on white background
[General Topics] DomCowell:
It is also worth noting that the "50GB Dropbox" is UP TO.

I imagine therefore that you only get that with the 64gb version - will be half then (25gb) for 32gb..
[General Topics] Fightspit:
Pentile matrix display (like in the S3) always sucks:

[General Topics] H-Cim:
If you like a removeable battery and an additional SD-card you are better off with a SIII.

If you don't I'm pretty sure the One X is the way to go, considering it higher PPI, Sense 3 and the gorgeous looks of the One X (imo).

I guess the speed of the phone will be pretty much the same, not considering benchmarks because they rarely give a real idea of how the phone performs. I doubt anyone notices the 2ms improvement on java rendering.
[General Topics] mohanv8:
Expected more

Never wanted a Samsung cos i hate their design... But after the teaser where they called all other phones sheep I thought they are really upto something this time.... But no looks terrible and I bet Apple already hired lawyers to sue S Voice.. lol
[General Topics] Techimplant:
One X looks amazing n s3 looks awful..

One X has a 12 core gpu n s3 a quad core..

Screen of One X is RGB IPS n s3 has the same cheap pentile..

One X has a companion core for battery saving n s3 has nothing like this..

One X has a separate processor for camera n s3 doesn't..

So who rules here man..One X is the daddy of all..

[General Topics] icellphones:
I disagree

The one x seems pedestrian, Samsungs line of smartphone camera's work best for me.
[General Topics] shankly1985:
12 core??
[General Topics] tkolev:
+ TegraZone. It might not seem that much but nVidia already has a working relationship with the developers which Samsung has yet to build. Yes the numbers Samsung will sell to their fans are a great incentive but getting where nVidia is now will take time.
[General Topics] TommUK:
Yes, the GPU is 12 Core.

Also, it is Clocked higher than the Mali-400

The Tegra 3 is 500MHZ I believe, while the Mali has been boosted to around 400MHZ (Correct me if I'm wrong)

New Benchmarks show the S3 beating the One X by about 600 on quadrant, not a big deal for me :)
[General Topics] shankly1985:

[General Topics] Techimplant:
I guess the s3 owners will have to take a print out of the screenshot of quadrant score n paste it on the back of the phone..coz the back of s3 looks disgusting..

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[General Topics] Techimplant:
As far as I know that's due to low 2D score on Tegra 3..snapdragon s4 also scores much higher on 2D score n much lower on 3D..

Once the new drivers fixes the 2D rendering the Tegra 3 is going to blow everything away..

[General Topics] nimrod77:
I think the SIII certainly seems to have some nice features e.g. the ed card slot and wireless charging, but Samsungs devices have never really blown my skirt up like the HOX has in terms of styling. I think the one standout feature of the SIII vs the HOX is the larger battery. If only HTC had put a bigger battery in, half of peoples gripes with the phone would have never been there.

Just my 2c but I still love my HOX. Best phone I have ever had IMHO.
[General Topics] TommUK:
Yeah, the Kernel Improvements and Driver Issues being sorted should give it a Boost, won't hold out too much hope, either way, I'm very happy with my Choice.
[General Topics] PhysX:
quite impressive software and battery... but the design is really ugly!

i mean take a look at this:

definitely going to buy an one x now!
[General Topics] tkolev:
Bigger battery will make those same people that now complain about the battery, then complain about the size of the phone. There is no pleasing some people. Efficiency is even more important than few hundred mAh. Screen technology, less efficient CPU sleep cycle, stupid "features" like powering the camera to keep the whole phone powered up (i.e. spending power to keep spending power) doesn't exactly win the power contest for S3.
[General Topics] pnnorth:
Got to agree with you, it looks like a poor mans GN.

I don't get why the One S has a higher score than the One X on every benchmark....:confused:

Coz s4 on One S has to render 77% less pixels than One X..the resolution of One S is much lower..

Why is everyone going on about the wireless charging.. The One X has contact points and I'm sure they'll be used for something upcoming.... They're not simply a design feature.
[General Topics] Mafiatounes:
I know Tegra 3 games will look way better even if the Exynos will be more powerfull games will not take full advantage of it! Other than that in day to day use it won't matter both are powerfull enough. Battery life on my One X is great no concerns really.

I will be sticking to the One X even if i hate that many dev's did not update their apps (menu bar) wich is my main con on the One X.
[General Topics] bloodhunter112:
How many hours do you guys have on your One X?

And are there things you hate when getting your One X?
[General Topics] chrisjcks:
I hate the fan boys - they will say anything.

What I don't like about my HOX:

Large sense widgits produce micro home screen lag, annoying!

Live wallpaper bug - they stop when switching screens, then restart once stopped on a screen.

Camera lens sticks out - little worrying regarding scratches.

2 of those can be fixed via updates, my worry is - will they be......

I'm not finding the battery bad, or even poor ... seems to be better than my ex-SGS2, so can't fault that.

Design & feel is great, sleek, sexy & the matte back attracts zero fingerprints!

Screen is outstanding, really.. amazing.

Even sense 4, minus the bugs - is a big step forward, I'm coming from Touchwiz ICS from the SGS2 & its such a better experience. (I loved TW on gingerbread, it matched the design, it was smooth, fast and just seemed to work - however, when Samsung released ICS - touchwiz absolutely ruined the ICS-feel, it was also clunky & no longer did the TW design match the OS )

Anyway, these are my current thoughts - hope they're honest enough for you.
[General Topics] RGX521:
Since I'm going to upgrade from my Nexus S, I was waiting for the S3 specs.

Well... One X here I come!
[General Topics] bloodhunter112:
Thanks for your good answer. Well I don't think the software bugs are a problem, I'm sure devs could fix them.

Btw how many hours are you running your one x daily?

And yeah, I have a Desire HD now and I want to switch to quad core. I'm only worried that I wont see a huge difference in performance.
[General Topics] Ripley:
I had a DHD for 18 months, I was thinking of upgrading to a Sensation XE or XL, but I didn't think the performance increase warranted the expense.

Fear not with the One X, it really is the HTC you've been waiting for! Better than the DHD in every respect, it's very much a worthy successor to the DHD mate! You won't regret it, it's much faster, lighter, bigger better screen and amazing camera
[General Topics] r3dcruz:
Had a DHD, then the SGS2, and now the HOX which is far ahead of the other two and also happy with that choice against the S3. And after the S2 I think the dev side of things is really great with HTC!
[General Topics] Tw1tchy:
Coming from a SNS myself I can say you will be impressed but I do miss the vibrancy of the dark colours on my Nexus S SAMOLED screen. Battery is about the same for me on both devices but the speed of the HOX is 5x the speed of the SNS. Personally I don't believe the HOX has been put to its full potential and if it can get any better then HOX wins the cup over SGSIII.
[General Topics] NZtechfreak:
Anandtech's benchmarks show the S3 destroying the One X (international version), particularly in GPU and Browsermark. Seems a clear indication of SoC and GPU superiority for the Samsung.

Supercurio confirms a Wolfson DAC so S3 will likely have an advantage in SQ, with Voodoo Sound likely to be a very big advantage in SQ.

GLONASS.

Bigger *removable* battery.

Almost certainly a better camera.

Options for more internal storage + micro SD slot.

I think the HOX screen will be better (based on owning a G Nex and a HOX), stock UI in the HOX clearly better than TouchWiz (of limited benefit to me personally, since I'd still rather use a custom launcher than Sense in any case, YMMV), and subjectively it's looks are better.

Overall though? S3 superior in most areas.

Don't get me wrong, I love the One X, it's still a great phone, but people here trying to pretend that it's hardware is better are ignoring facts just a little.
[General Topics] chrisjcks:
Hard to tell you, as I'm sure I use my phone differently to most people.

I do a helluva lot of mobile data streaming , & its a good battery eater. :)

My music streaming test gave me over 9hrs of 'constant non-stop' music data streaming over mobile data (not wifi) (this included 45mins or so screen on time too - this was on 1.26)

Most days I get 15+ hours, of which this includes 5+ hours mobile data music streaming.

But, like I said - not everyone does the amount of audio streaming I do, for general use - a day usage should be fine.

Like I said, the battery is better than the SGS2 that I switched from.
[General Topics] Jaa-Yoo:
These 2 phones are virtually identical in size, it would seem to me that htc either have a crap battery in the one x, or didnt utilize the space in the phone efficiently enough to fit a larger one in there. Heck, moto managed to cram a 3300 mAh battery into a frame thats smaller than both these phones. :rolleyes:

BTW, an extra 300 mAh is a significant amount when you need an extra 2 hours to get you through the day. :)
[General Topics] NatTheCat:
Just look at the nexus = Boss

All they had to do was slim it down add amoled+ & removable sd = Boss

Looks like you HOX guys are going to get some s2 owners over here after that fail of an s3

Are you? Your username is unlockednand yet the nand on the one x is locked (s on). :p

S on is a foreign term to Samsung owners. Lucky bastards.
[General Topics] nooomoto:
The phone looks just hideous. I'd be super pissed to buy a high tier device and have it come with that glossy, crappy, cheap plastic back cover. $600+ for that? No thanks.

I'm sure the device is very capable...but again with the TOUCHWIZ!!! Ugh. That, and it's ugly.

Did I mention it's ugly?

Loving my One X.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Looks are all subjective. I think the One X is ugly with its non expandable memory and no battery door. :p
[General Topics] hello00:
it has a 32gb internal plus 25gb on dropbox why would you need more memory? and we don't really need a battery door as we could just simply hold down power and volume down to restart it
[General Topics] tkolev:
No it's not. You would've spent them by the time you need them. The screen and the useless features consume more power than the HOX when the phone is awake, and while it's sleeping nothing beats the companion core efficiency.

Whatever Motorola managed to squeeze in a phone is irrelevant. They don't have to deal with the same heat dissipation as these beasts. Still hats down to their engineers, hope Google doesn't sell them to Huawei now that they have what they needed - the patents.
[General Topics] tkolev:
Yes, look are subjective, but glossy plastic painted blue is pretty much as objective as it can get ;)
[General Topics] slapshot30:
You don't need a battery door, eh? What about the historically terrible HTC battery life? Don't even try to tell me this thing lasts a FULL day on mid-high usage. HTC blocked the chance of putting in any kind of extended battery. Many people have more than 32GB of music, and huge games and movies take up a lot of space as well. Don't care about the extra dropbox memory, like hell I'm going to stream anything and worsen the already crappy battery life.

At the end of the day, they took away choices and freedom from the user. HTC is moving even closer to the iPhone than Samsung is...
[General Topics] townay:
^pretty sure Moto fused Razr's battery into the phone's chassis, making it possible for a thin phone. This way, theres more room for future phones releases that pack bigger batteries.

HTC's One X didnt go with the battery fusing to phone chassis route. I am guessing that would be because they are trying to avoid more lawsuits since it was Moto's idea to fuse the battery to the phone's chassis (<- just my wild guess, iphone's battery is also non-changeable..but i dont own an iphone anyway so i cant say much)
[General Topics] hello00:
i hate to break it down to you but nowadays you will see phones with a no removal battery and about the battery life, let me be the one giving you the good news..for me it does lasts me full day on mid usage, rooted of course..my phone went down from 98 to 3% at 9pm texting, calling, browsing and listening to music and watching videos..and if ppl have more than 32gb of songs might as well get a damn mp3 player or something
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Then why does the GsIII have a removable battery and expandable memory if its the way of the future? "Get a damn mp3 player"? Why should iPhone users get the luxury of a phone and music player packed in one but not android? HTC has terrible sound quality and a crappy DAC inside. The GSIII sports the beastly wolfson DAC with voodoo, the same that was in the original SGS. Samsung has made a phone that can actually rival the iPhone capabilities. Amazing sound quality and expandable memory so you can actually carry one device instead of two for music + phone. While you have your HTC with terrible SQ and have to lug around an mp3 as well according to you if you want to have extensive media capabilities.

I've extensively auditioned both HTC and Samsung with the wolfson + voodoo and there is simply no comparison. The Samsung even had the power to put some of my mid level cans to quite a high volume.
[General Topics] nooomoto:
I guess if either one of those was an issue for me I wouldn't have bought the phone?

Ok...if it makes you feel better I won't. I'm usually not awake for a FULL day of 24 hours, though. By the end of my day (around 2 AM on weekdays) my One X is around 30%.

Whats with all the haterade dude? If you have so much disdain for the device, why are you on this section of XDA?
[General Topics] slapshot30:
Sick of HTC and their antics, that's all. I've always loved HTC because of how dev friendly they were, but things have changed. Imagine your shiny new One X having no possible way to unlock the bootloader for 3 whole months. Yea, no root, no roms, nothing. That's what HTC did to the Vivid and a couple other phones like the Rezound. This is after the CEO promises no more locked bootloaders earlier in the year. You guys don't even have s off yet. That means manually flashing a recovery, and manually flashing a kernel every single time you want to flash a new rom. It becomes a huge annoyance. I'm sorry if I seem bitter, but I have much reason to be.
[General Topics] TommUK:
You can't be Serious, Samsung have possibly the worst Audio quality I've ever had on a phone, this One X trumps it in all respects, just my opinion :)
