Interesting. All the comparisons I've read show the one x still getting better battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
Yes, I was going to say the same thing. Bigger isn't always better. In this case battery life clearly goes to the HOX. However, for those who buy multiple batteries and swap them the S3 is the only choice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Show me where? And I mean the S3 with the S4 in it.

edit: and about building computers for 20 years? I've been doing it for a long time too. I do it for a living. I start up my home PC and it's using 2.5 out of the 8 GBs, doesn't mean I'm gonna go down to 3Gb to save power. Stock rom at but has what? Maybe 200 MB ram available after a fresh boot. You can't honestly believe the One X wouldn't benefit from more ram.

And for the other guy that trolls all Samsung vs HTC discussions I never said Samsung built better quality phones or had a better screen. And since when does specs not matter?

The only battery category the GS3 wins is capacity
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
Sorry, but I don't agree ...

Hmm, I have both devices, and I can tell you with certainty that I would NEVER give 10 out of 10 for the ONE X. Too many glitches. Yes, the glitches are small, but they still exist. However, the Wifi issue was an absolute mess with the "out of the box" versions. With the latest firmware, this issue has been pretty-much resolved.

Both my devices are also rooted, and I also use CleanROM on my ONE X. However, concerning overall performance, they are basically identical. Actually, my SIII outperforms the ONE X on almost all benchmarks, with the exception of Vellamo, which happens to be an HTC app, so it's a biased product.

My battery life is quite similar to my previous HTC phones, which basically negates your statement above about the ONE X battery being the equivalent of a 2500mAh battery. However, comparatively speaking, both the ONE X and SIII last about as long, with a slight edge to the SIII (of course, it has a larger capacity battery).

Clearly you're not a photographer. I am (Nikon D3 & D7000). Neither the ONE X or the SIII can compare with a stand-alone camera. Yes, the ONE X produces good images, but not great images. This is also true of the SIII. The burst mode is slightly faster on the ONE X, but the SIII also has this feature. Then again, there's an app on the market that can take 30 individual images per second, so this comparison is moot.

Obviously, this is an individual choice. As I have said before, I've owned many HTC devices, and for years I was truly loyal to them ... but not anymore. I can say with absolute confidence that the SIII is better if you are simply looking at the overall user experience. The difference is small, but it's there.

I'm not going to be sensational and say one is awesome, or fantastic, or incredible. That would be silly. Both devices are very, very good. Exaggerations only reduce the quality of the opinion/comment.

Yes, it "rocks," but so does the SIII. I guess it comes down to individual preference. Try both for a week or so, and then decide. After all, most carriers allow you to return a device for full credit within the first 2 weeks.

Many people say that RAM is important, and other say it isn't.

Well, think of it this way. Let's say you have a Formula 1 race car, and a Hyundai Accent.

Yes, both will go 100km (60 miles) per hour quite easily; however, we all know that the amount of effort required for the Formula 1 car to travel at this speed is tiny compared to the Accent. You may never need the Formula 1, but it may very well come in handy one day.

I see that you enjoy your SGS3 more. im stuck in a rut here trying to figure out if I should cancel my pre-order or not on the white sgs3. I ordered it at full no commitment so i would end up being in the hole about $150-180 after selling my HTC One X. I always enjoyed the option to have a swappable battery, but in all honesty it seems like I have never missed that since my galaxy nexus as the one x always lasts me until it's time to plug in and go to bed. Is the camera really better as most reviews say on the sgs3? Ive seen pictures and they all look the same to me.... some better on the one x, some on the sgs3.

Also, is the screen really that much better? I always enjoyed the black blacks on the SAMOLED screens since I like using my phone as a desk clock at night.

Finally, the last thing that irks me about the SGS3 is the car dock. Have you seen that monstrosity? Its UNIVERSAL! I pop my One X in the dock every day im in the car, so maybe that in it self is a reason to stay on the one x.

Thanks in advance

I agree with Peter here - I have a Nikon D700, a D7000, and a D300. I don't take many pictures with my Hox. I've taken a couple videos. The Hox HDR feature is nice and works fairly well if you use it in the right circumstances.

But there is no comparison with a top quality DSLR.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
well yea...its a phone...not a dslr.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MaxGame:
I feel like the HOX is a much higher quality phone however the GS3 will probably get more 3rd party dev support considering its popularity. I am also in a situation where I can swap my phone for a GS3 when it comes out here in Canada but I'm gonna wait it out for a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
More ram is useless unless you use it. PERIOD. On a device that revolves around battery life, why would you want more of something you don't use and WILL consume more battery. Ponderous.

I have been involved in video and still photography since before digital cameras and this new camera is REDONKULOUS. Yes it it is not a SLR, but it is closer to SLR quality than we have ever had before in a CELL PHONE! Better than the high majority of (non Canon OIS) compact cameras. Way better than any other CELL PHONE. Backlight sensor is unreal in low light without flash, better than ANY camera out there right now. Try it. Burst mode feels like I have my 5d in my hand and not a CELL PHONE. Yes it stops after 20+ shots, but let's get real folks, IT IS A PHONE! HTC knocked the camera out of the stadium and across the street. Huge home run.

And for the annoying bugs someone mentioned, I guess you don't know crap about Sammy. Wait for months and months for a fix. That is Sammy. And every review of the SG3 mentions poor build quality.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
Possible to re-lock?

I'm in a similar dilemma and am not sure completely if I'd prefer the HOX or SGS3, though I am leaning towards the HOX at the moment, and have a couple weeks to decide still. I also plan on going to the AT&T store soon to compare look/feel of both devices side by side.

Quick question though which may make this whole dilemma moot, if the device is rooted and unlocked with a custom ROM (CM9 at the moment), is it still possible to re-lock the device and flash to stock to the level needed to be returned? (With the 30-day). I know un-rooting is simple, but I also read that even if you re-lock your device it will always state "unlocked" or "re-locked." Will this be a problem? Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm fairly new to the world of custom ROMs and such (and will never look back haha). Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
I'll try to be unbiased ...

First, I'd have to say that I DO enjoy my S3 more, but only just a bit. Regarding the battery, I'm with you. I really have never had an issue with ANY battery on ANY device because my phone is usually plugged in, or I can plug it in at almost any time. Therefore, the entire battery issue is moot to me.

Regarding the camera, I'd actually have to say that the ONE X camera is, perhaps, just a little bit better. Like you, I really can't see much of a difference between the ONE X and the S3. I think the burst mode is better on the ONE X, but only a tad. Then again, there's a Burst Camera app available in the market, which I use, and it works great (takes 30 images per second).

This is also a tough call. Both screens are amazing, and both offer advantages and disadvantages. Overall, if you simply want a pure, natural display, the ONE X is the way to go; however, the only thing the ONE X can't do is display black as BLACK! It's absolute BLACK on the S3, which I have to say I think I prefer.

As far as viewing in direct sunlight is concerned, again, both are very good, but not perfect. If the phone is in absolute direct sunlight, both displays are a bit hard to see.

About the one thing I do like about the AMOLED, and the fact it can produce absolute blacks, is the fact that, when black is being displayed, then the pixels are actually turned off. This is not true with non-AMOLED screens or, in this case, the ONE X screen. With the ONE X screen, the entire display is always on, even with brightness set at the lowest value. However, with an AMOLED screen, when it shows black, the pixels are actually turned off, which reduces battery consumption. After all, an off pixel means that battery power is ONLY used to keep it on. Therefore, if you prefer to use themes that have lots of black, as I do, then battery consumption is significantly reduced.

Well, I really have no opinion about the car dock. Since I don't use one, and never have, it would be unfair of me to voice an opinion. Sorry.

Ultimately, it's up to you. Both devices are great.

Peter

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

Yes, I agree, and that's what I was trying to say to the other xda member, who seemed to want to equate the ONE X camera to being as good as a "real" camera. I got a PM from him about this issue as well.

If anyone thinks a phone camera will ever be as good as a stand-alone camera, especially a DSLR, needs a psychological assessment. ;)

Peter

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

This is the guy, folks. Sadly, I simply cannot accept any opinions from him anymore because of his biased views. As I said, anyone who equates a ONE X camera with a DSLR is simply foolish.

Oh, well.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vocalshock:
I would like to say that obviously the S3 and the HOX are great phones. I have loved HTC since the origional evo. I am a sence fan. I like the quality of HTC. I dont really like Samys software but I do like the look of their device as well. I would just buy the S3 too but jezz that would be a waste of money. Both phones will be dated by the end of the year probably anyway. So if you get a S3 or a HOX they are both great phones. Good luck choosing the right one. :):silly:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Cannot accept any opinions from peterhtc anymore. He is biased and his opinions are just that, his opinion. No facts involved.

I never said it WAS a DSLR, and cell phones WILL have cameras that rival DSLR cameras in the future. FACT. New materials for a new type of sensor are right around the corner.

My statements about the HOX are entirely true, sorry I offended the Sammy fan boys, but it is what it is. If you think I don't know what I'm talking about, think again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
Fantastic!

Great news! I think I'll have mine Wednesday the 27th. I'm #2 on Rogers pre-order list, and they are expecting to begin selling the device on Wednesday. Usually, the day they introduce the new device for sale, is the day pre-orders get delivered; sometimes the day before (I hope).

I'm excited.

I've Always gotten over 4 hours screen on time with the HOX. Only with the bad battery one did I get less than 2 hours screen on time.
