LOL yesterday you were denying such...

Didn't you even try to get the info from corning & HTC yourself, to prove this? - as it was sooo important for you.... I'm sure you did.

You are no better than the isheep, for all said against apple fan boys - your one yourself for Samsung.

HTC does have Gorilla Glass 2.

For over 6 months, the SGS2 users said the same for the iPhone 4 & 4S, I've nothing at all against Samsung . I've had both galaxy phones - but some of you, most probably are becoming the very thing you hate about iPhone users & I refuse to become part of it :)

We shall all see when both phones are side by side, the screen, design and camera are definitely better on the HOX - whereas Samsung have the removeable battery, bigger battery and sdcard slot - these alone, will decide what phone people get.
[Galaxy S III General] ale0crysis:
Yes and the sheeps fly. Everybody has understood your point of view, unfortunatelly it is SURREAL :D Stop trolling and GTFO please :)

in my life i use even LG, SONY, APPLE and other brands are not Samsung so
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
then you are team sgs3 :D lol
[Galaxy S III General] Intratech:
lol. Yes.

Unfortunately other Android manufacturers seem to be leaving out the MicroSD card option from their device and this is worrying as I need to have this. I was so relieved when it was confirmed that the SGS 3 had that option still as it was the last handset to be released before I made my purchase. The fact that it natively supports exFAT file system is a massive plus as it means that the 64 GB MicroSD SDxC cards will be used the way they are meant to. Happy days.
[Galaxy S III General] wtabram:
You guys must be really bored!

Think I'll wait till the next 'best' smartphone comes out and just stick with my sensation which still does a damn fine job, and besides, I really don't need a screen bigger than 4.3".

Give me 48hrs screen use any day.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
yeah and no more file size limitations. Looking forward to your firmware thread here too :)

We gonna be doing video unboxing, video review and some guides for new users in video as well.:D

thats great! exciting times ahead! lets hope the new users go through it :)
[Galaxy S III General] :
gimmicks in your eyes are useful to others. I for one will use all of them as they are handy things for me too use
[Galaxy S III General] TheUnkn0wn:
1. HD Super AMOLED Display with a pixel densisty > 300 basically means that pentile pixel effect (what everyone has been talking about) wont even be noticeable at all. It would just be like looking at a standard RGB display. Which also brings me to what AMOLED displays are good at. Colours. AMOLED displays show vibrant colours and true blacks compared to ANY LCD screen, this is because it DOESNT have a back light. Which also brings me onto power consumption. Since the AMOLED display doesn't have a back light its power footprint is tiny when displaying blacks. The only way an AMOLED screen would pull more power is by displaying a FULLY white screen. But battery tests have confirmed that the GS3 out performs the One X in the power usage test anyway.

2. Yes the screen is the biggest and most important part of a phone so... 4.7" < 4.8"

3. If you bothered to actually look at the pictures the GS3 takes you will notice more natural colour reproduction and less noise compared to the One X. Why? because its not about aperture its about the CCD.

4. Features like burst mode and photos while recording are nothing new. I'm sure those features were already built into ICS anyway, just weren't being utilized.
[Galaxy S III General] chrisjcks:
Good, I'm sure you will be very happy with the device, looks good & I hope it sells like crazy, its more customers for android but they are gimmicks. :)
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
I have to say I'm not a fan of all the PR spin Nature & Pebbles is all BS IMHO

But.

Smart Stay & Direct call are to me very good useful.

Siri / S-voice not so much but looks fun if nothing else.

Pop out video for me is also a a MEH... but I'm sure someone will find a use for it.

Beats Audio... 'O' dear how Acne ridden/down with kids is that LOL ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Alex Charles:
Indeed, until we actually get the phone we can't firmly say that there will be no build quality issues. Then again, they have a good reputation.

Also, those who decided to opt out early and get the HOX shouldn't slander a phone they've never used just to reinforce the concept that they made the better choice. As the gsmarena review says, differences are marginal and it's mostly down to personal preference.

Also, I still find it funny how everyone hates touchwiz - it's more vanilla looking than usual, yet still has all the features. Again this is still preference and until you actually use it you wont know if it's for you.

Just a thought, just treat this without bias, personally the "hyperglaze " is something that I'm not too fond off, but who cares - nearly everyone with a phone gets a case so it isn't visible anyway, but the matte finish of the HOX seems to a higher standard.

Once you've used both phones let the slandering begin,but until them keep an open mind, YouTube videos and benchmarks can't give you the user experience.

[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
Lol @ all this hullabaloo about the screens.

Regardless of the subpixel type both phones are gonna have good screens. I believe the gs3 may have a slight benefit in contrast ratio by nature which is nice but is it really that big a deal?

The more inportant things are how do they perform with 150 apps and several gigabytes of tunes loaded on after 3 months use?

Will it wake up instantly EVERY TIME i press the button in 3 months?

Can it stand an 18 hour day of normal use and still let me take a picture right before the end of the night?

Does the video it produces look good and play smoothly?

Does the mic distort like **** if you film a band playing?

Does the touchscreen work ok in light rain (i live in scotland)?

Will the headphone jack break/wear out?

So basically, who cares about lcd vs pentile is what im saying.
[Galaxy S III General] Remix2011:
hhaa the HTC got spanked,hard.

Im glad that SGS3 won in the camera category and im sure that the ONE X would have lost if they did night time pictures WITH flash.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:
So you are trying to say that the One X was released and then in the very short time frame between that and the SGS3 announcement they redesigned their phone/added features to copy HTC and still managed to run production for the end of May?

Edit: I wrote this before I saw the mod warning. Hopefully it's on topic.
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
An incredibly lucid post. The one thing that's missing is people’s real world experiences. The One X has been in people’s hands for a month so performance wise people know what to expect, warts and all. Reviewers have played with the SGS3 for a couple of hours. After it’s out a month and used all the different ways people use their phones will be a better comparison. It’s Samsung’s newest phone, not the second coming of Christ. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] doccrow:
LOL so many fighting to prove one phone er than the other.

For me an expandable memory was a add on for sgs 3.

But the fact that no matter how hard u may try u can never brick a samsung phone unless u think its a titanic, compels me to buy one samsung after another. so after SGS1, 2, NOTE, IT WILL NOW BE SGS 3.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
One x compared to sgs 3 is pretty meh. This thread proves it even more.
[Galaxy S III General] leith51:
I gave a real review of the one x as I had one and as stated I hope the sg3 will be better as the hox was a flop and couldn't keep up with my daily life my dhd ran better hence the reason I'm back on it
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
My opinion is that if you like the phone to be one of your image accessories, as women do with their fake eyelashes, make up, bags etc, then the HOX is better looking/feeling than the SGS3. Other than that, its much worse on battery and much worse on utilities and memory.

I can see why its not a problem for the above group NOT to like the SGS3 for its design, because they change their phones every year anyway, so therefore there is no fear of the battery getting exhausted or wear on the outer case, because it will have long gone for their new 'accessory phone'

me, i keep my phones for at least 2-3 years. I had an HTC touch diamond 2, got the HTC desire-Z and now the HTC One S, which is going back to HTC due to it's poor quality.

HTC always aimed to make nice design phones, and the One S is beautiful to look at. However, on everyday use, it chips (the black MAO), and battery wise, im afraid that in less than a year, with an everyday recharge, the phone would have to be sent to HTC for a battery replacement, stuck with them for 10 working days as they have quoted me already.

I use the phone for everyday productivity, not games and there are aspects that i look at that i need in a phone, but having an aluminium body that feels good to hold in your hand is not a priority to me. Being able to keep the same phone for 2-3 years once the next big breakthrough will come is, and therefore an interchangable battery and a durable phone software wise is mostly required.

So you see, all have their individual needs when it comes to handsets. No point in arguing which has the faster camera or processor, unless you are a phone tester, in which case its your job!
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Alright people yall need to calm the hell down. I'm surprised this thread hasn't been closed as it violates ruled as comparisons in general thread. At least it got closed in hox forum.

First of all.....you don't need a damn microscope to see the pentile effect. End of the day side by side, galaxy nexus has more jagged edges and its noticeable if you look at one screen then another. I had the galaxy nexus and now hox and you can see a difference. GRANTED everyday use BY THE PHONE ITSELF you won't be able to tell because hell, your not comparing it to anything else. Slcd2 screen is better than the samoled IMO. First time an LCD almost matched a samoled in contrast and colors are extremely vibrant. Still samoled blacks are darker and colors more saturated if you like it. Outdoor might be a little better, but they're about even when I used and compared them.

Battery consumption is a lot better of slcd2. Gsmarena didn't update their tests. Anandtech updated software and got 7 hours of 3g web browsing. So battery is honestly better on hox if you web browse end of story, the screen uses a lot less. Yea you can get an extended battery on Sgs3 but hox is getting battery jackets which will be nicer and use the pogo pins.

THE TRUTH....BOTH PHONES ARE GONNA LOSE TO SONY IN A FEW MONTHS. :D the new Sony hyabus or gx or whatever will win. S4 krait pro, nice design and build materials, better camera....ye that will be the real flagship and competition
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Thing is none of those phones are perfect, and no phone has ever been perfect.

If this Sony device has a nice battery and a screen around 4,3~4,6", it will be my choice.

If not, than I'll choose the battery of the GSGIII
[Galaxy S III General] nebsif:
by the time we get those iPhone 5 and Galaxy 4 will come out :P

Sony has quality products but theyre always half a year-year behind.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
It's already been officially announced pretty sure.....its the flagship and has 2200mah battery I think. Can go look it up I forgot exact specs
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Naw its been announced I'm pretty sure and is coming summer.
[Galaxy S III General] ale0crysis:
Enjoy your ban, troll :D
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
I am more interested seeing comparison with the HTC One S, Expansys is selling b-stock ones for very good price. Too bad its not HD screen. Looking at its performance, it seem wise to wait for the American release of the S III that uses the S4 chip, I'm probably too impatience for that. I don't know how much difference the lower res make in term of performance though.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
For many of us this debate is pointless, because in the US the GS3 will come with the S4, and we have no idea if it will have the same numbers. There are other phones with S4 such as One S and Evo 4G LTE and battery life will probably be comparable to those, as well as performance. I don't thin the camera/screen/design are the big issues, they are simply too close and in real life its all subjective. That's why I hate all the mud slinging. I will be getting the GS3 since to me it simply offers more, and there are issues with HTC software I don't like - how its partitioned into separate area for apps vs all available memory, the stupid waste of screen due to menu bar, locked bootloaders etc.
[Galaxy S III General] asbjörn:
Great article!
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
You guys really need to pace yourselves. This is one review. There are going to be tons and not all are going to draw the same conclusions. If you use up all your best quips now what are you going to use if, blasphomy, other reviewers have different opinions? This is going to be going on until the SGS4 and Two X are released so you better save some energy.

mod edit: i like this comment so it stays:)

[Galaxy S III General] moshe22:
It seems that on the software side of things Samsung is much better than HTC and that is important to me. Look at the video recordings for example. How come a 4 core phone can't record video properly, I am talking about the One X, while the SIII is silky smooth and the frames don't drop. Mainly because of drivers/software optimizations and this is what makes a huge difference in the overall experience.

Yeah the One X looks better in my opinion but that is not enough, apart from the looks the build quality is a different story for HTC, I have had bad experience with the build quality of my Sensation.

Owning a Sensation has shown me that they are not the best in the software department.

If I was ready to upgrade I would go with the SIII. I still think I am going to keep my Sensation until 2013 though. It does everything I need it too, and this new phones are better but not better enough to switch yet in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] chrisd1a1:
temp closed. i warned. now it's hammer time.

will re open after i've cleaned.

ok open again. no more warnings. i will infract for any flame or abuse.

i don't mind the idea of comparison threads so long as its reasonable.

third strike an the thread goes.

[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Screen is 4,6", nice

I've read that it will only have a 1700mah and only 16gb of internal memory with no sd card option.

I have to say I don't think I care much about the internal memory, since my Motorola Milestone has only 256mb and a 8gb sd card.

But if that's the real spec of the battery.. damn phones always have a "but".
[Galaxy S III General] Tableuraz:
Says the guy posting in a pointless discussion :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] MitchAifa:
Even worse? Ok, that's your opinion.. What about mine? Sense 4.0 is laggy, memory resource hag, and the blinky web browsing glich, that's a disappointment considering it's a Quad core phone, while one the other side, we have SGS III which is more intuitive, more fluent and smoother UI according to many respected phone reviewers, with a lot of features that HTC One X could ever dream of..

To sum it up:

User Experience (stock): SGS III

Software: SGS III

Hardware: SGS III

Design: HTC One X

I'd rather have an ugly back cover but have a removable battery & card slot than a beautiful unibody design (w/o unremovable batt & card slot) any day..
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
After playing with the HOX for a while its not just the S3 that beats it, the S2 does as well!

Despite having half the pixels i still prefer its screen.

Its a much nicer size, and more comfortable to hold.

It still plays back more movie formats, smoother usually as well.

Replaceable battery, SD card (blah, blah)..

With a few tweaks its smooth as butter, i saw a few lags on the HOX, especially when installing updates or downloading large files.

I think the Camera is better, because of less compression artifacting and post processing error introduction, something HTC really need to sort out on all their devices. The HOX has better low light images of course, but id still take the S2 over it.

Not a fan of Sense, it still feels a bit like the HD2 to me.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
Meh. The phones who were released with an brand new processor had failed. Ask to the Optimus 2x owners if you don't believe me.

If the software is garbage no matter which SoC you put the phone will fail.
[Galaxy S III General] thegregulator:
True, and I don't think Sony is exactly well known for providing a great software experience.

I can't wait to get my GS3 and do a comparison with my One X. I'm really going to miss HTC's trace keyboard. I hate Swype.
[Galaxy S III General] ekjl:
I have to keep mentioning this because it's a BIGGIE for me and it never gets mentioned anywhere when comparing the two.

HOX has the old way of doing things by partitioning app storage to a small space on the internal storage which is 2GB. If you have a 32GB HOX you still can only fill it with 2GB of apps.

The SGS3 however uses a common storage for ALL data. If you buy the 64GB version of the SGS3, that 64GB of storage can be used for ANYTHING you desire. This is the way it should always have been.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Surprised this thread wasn't closed because there's already the comparison thread.

Anyways, optimus 2x sucked because tegra 2 sucked in general. No ion support etc...it wasn't exactly a good SoC in general.

As for krait....Qualcomm had been in the game for a while and krait has been out for a while now. It's the best SoC IMO all around in general as of now until the new omap 5 come end of summer/fall. Sony has made a complete u-turn also compared to when they first started with x10. Their software is better now, haven't used the xperia S so im not sure how far along its come but from videos, people say the new time scape ui is a lot better, not the best but good.

Anyways the Sony gx is good but not maxed out rumor.

Regular krait, 1700mah battery. Everything else is just as thought, 13mp camera etc...should be a good contender.
[Galaxy S III General] thegregulator:
That is true. And you're right, that's how the memory should have been designed in the first place.

I think most people don't usually bring it up because 2 gb is ample storage for apps. I'm pretty sure if a game has a large secondary download needed to play it (Gameloft), the space is used from the larger partition? I'm not positive as I don't play a ton of games on my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
2.11GB exactly which is enough, and yes big games downloads go into the main partition I believe.

I have big games like GTA and Dark Meadow and still have 1.54GB of app storage available so it has to be going to the main partition.

So ekjil I don't believe your assumption or claims really matter much. Don't see anyone using up the partitioned app space at all.
[Galaxy S III General] thegregulator:
I can see his point though. It just makes sense to have one large partition, unless I'm missing the benefit of having separate storage for apps and everything else.
[Galaxy S III General] pratik_91:
I have replaced 3 HOX's

1.Dim light in the touch buttons.. the recent apps button practically had no light

2.Battery wasnt charging.. i was getting a "Couldnt charge the battery" error when i attched it to the power

3.Mic was f%^ked up.. had a high pitch static when i recorded videos..

i don't see a reason to go back to HTC :mad:
[Galaxy S III General] MrPhilo:
Holy sh*t, guys seriously still comparing the screen? Everyone has their own personal preference, some may prefer the Saturated Amoled-Pentile screen, some may like the IPS LCD2 or whatever it is.

I like the Amoled screen for example, but I can guarantee someone will disagree and like the IPS LCD2. Same goes to the effing design, ITS ALL DOWN TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE, if you don't like the phone, just get out.

I'm sure many 'reviewers' was disappointed about the design, but they are not us, we all have different taste for goodness sake. Which is why it has over 9 million pre-orders. Of course some are going for it's hardware, but I can guarantee some are going for it's design.

Not stating any names *cough* chrisjcks *cough*, your post was totally your own opinion and bias.
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Just ignore him. After I read 2.6 sensor in the S3 I just had to stop.

It seems like his in the rage moment that happened after the launch of the S3.

Get over it son! If you like the HOX better without even using the S3 yet, fine.

But your opinion is clearly outdated as it's based in the early "haven't even used it, hate it" reviews that came out.
[Galaxy S III General] Rastabolino:
I owned the hox for about two weeks. really wanted to like the phone but one thing I haven't seen mentioned much: the angle of the sides on the hox made it very uncomfortable to hold for more than a minute or two. the edges cut into your hand. I found it a deal breaker. back on my sgs2 til the sgs3 hits in US.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
HOX wins.........

If you are going to "wear it on a chain around your neck" Its a "prettier" phone.....oh and carry around a 200X microscope to really love that HOX screen "advantage"

That's about it........
[Galaxy S III General] g00ndu:
What's the point in all this? One man's meat is another man's poison. So what if the S3 is better? So what if the HOX is better? Hell, I am the one to use the phone, and how my needs will shape up my purchase, period. I don't buy a phone because of what other thinks, and they are NOT the one to use my phone!

Geez, sighz.....

Really reminds me of the bad old days of Canon vs Nikon!
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Canon!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Narrow Face:
Hardware wise the S3 is better than the HOX, but anyone claiming the screen is better than the Super LCD 2 is trying too hard to justify themselves.

The Super Amoled HD pentile display is plain ugly to look at when compared side by side with Super LCD 2, you notice just how stupidly oversaturated and artificial the colours are on Amoled, it honestly doesn't look like a 720p display. It's a good display don't get me wrong, but it's just not all that anymore.

Super LCD 2 is a beautifully clear sharp display, it look like a the iPhone 4/4s display but on a bigger screen with a higher resolution. Colours are alot more natural looking and pleasing to the eye and just has an incredible sense of true high resolution sharpness.

I'm no fanboy before anyone says I am, this is coming from a HTC one X and Galaxy Note owner (which uses the same screen as Galaxy S3 if I'm correct?)

Hi,

After updating (flashing through odin) my GB Stock to 2.3.6, i dont get the msg "USB Host Cable Connected" which I was getting before. And apparently even if I connect a device i dont get any notification that either a keyboard or mouse has been attached. Is this normal ?:o

Edit: Was searching online and found out that i have USB Host Driver missing, any1 know of a way to install the drivers without recompiling a kernel ?:/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
I tried USB host diagnostics and it states that Android API does not claim support but at the end it states Overall, OS support = yes, what does that mean?
