just get whatever phone you may think youd be happy with it till it dies out..the phone that will make you happy every time you look at it..the phone that will make your day every time you wake up next to it..the phone that will give you an orgasm every time you feel it in your hands..why in the world do you need ppl to help you choose the phone you want?
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
this debate is a never ending debate. if the 1.29 updates solves the battery issue and screen flickering problem then its very very good. but i heard that some phones have hardware problem too. what abt those. the wifi antena and the yellow mark or the screen and back body. since my physical presence wont be present during the transaction of the phone so i am a bit worried. my dad wont be able to check so many things before buying it.

and now comes the removable battery. if i buy a phone now let it b s3 or HOX i will be using it for a long time like i use my N900. i will sell my galaxy s if i buy a new phone but i will never sell my N900- thats another beast.

what if the attery wears out? i suppose its not changeable. i will be doomed then. since i have been confused about these two i have always been a little bendy towards one x. lets see what happens.
[HTC One X] colts187:
I have had three different one x's and there have been zero problems with any. Purchased at different times.
[HTC One X] williamyi:
Such debate will never end, even in my own country mobile forum it has become a war between brands. There will be satisfied and unsatisfied users. But as for HOX, mine is problem free since day 1 without any QC issue. No heating and no battery drain problems.

To OP, you have to know what is the criteria you need on your smartphone. If expandable memory and removable battery is important for you then go for S3. If you prefer Sense framework, non pentile SLCD and don't mind the built in battery and fixed 32GB storage, then HOX will be your choice

Both S3 and HOX has their own pro and cons over each other. Choosing based on others personal preferences as a decision might not benefit you. You have to test both of them to know which you prefer
[HTC One X] kylec:
I am also a university student with similar length days. I just bought an external battery that I use to charge my phone while in a lecture, so battery life essentially becomes a non-issue for me.

You could do something similar. There are plenty on ebay
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Its much more a personal choice for you, I suggest you go to a local store and look at both phones and decide for your self.

I had a samsung nexus s and the samsung service center sucks here in india. They had my phone for a month for changing my mother board. That was a deal breaker for me, I just couldnt buy another samsung phone.

People will says HOX is better here and in the SGS3 forum they'll say thats better so its upto you to decide.

Non- removable battery and 32 gb storage was not an issue for me so i bought the HOX.
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
If u r in the uk go to 3 network , tell them you are confused between the 2 phones., they will give you both of them to try fo a week and then u deside which one to give back, simple
[HTC One X] pratik_91:
Dude your right.. you dont seem to come from a nokia.. but some cheap china mobile instead.. im not a samsung fan boy.. samsung sucks.. the cheap plastic quality.. but you my frnd are HTC fanboy indeed.. you said you dont have half the problems.. but i assume you got the other half.. you are such an idiot to keep the phone with half the problems after paying such a big amount..

And LOL.. you say phones are ment to b phone? hahaha why did you buy a HOX then? why not a retarded mobile with just a pickup call and end option? you go on contradicting yourself.. just how much ur trying to defend your purchase.. And dont tell me about battery usage.. i come from nexus-one, galaxy sLCD, HTC incredible S, Galaxy s-2, HOX... and HOX was the worst experience in battery stats..

Oh, you forgot to mention that the HOX user was on Airplane Mode.. and the S3 user wasnt.. w.e it is.. my whole point was there are phones with better battery and HTC just fcxked up their rep and sales buy putting such a small battery.. + no proper R&D... the way they want their users to report the problems everytime to them.. seems more like the phone was released in beta mode lol.. if only they woulda not released this phone in a hurry.. they would b on the top..

Again one more fanboy... PS certified is not a big thing... with just lil work.. you can get them running on other phones also.. HOX surely looks better.. i personally feel its the best looking phone out there.. but just with bad ergonomics... my hands would pain because of those sharpy edges on the phone.. and seriously? i dont have s3.. so im not defending it BUT.. lol you need to get out of your dreamworld and step into reality.. HOX sucks with the battery.. sry if i made you cry again :p
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
The HOX has a better battery than my ex-SGS2 , so how does it suck?

Even if you took the GSMARENA battery test as the holy grail, you would have to put your phone on charge 6hrs before the SGS3, after 37hours!

I'm 100% certain that most people charge their phones wayyyyy before the 37hr-mark, even if you did use your phone the way GSMArena tested.

People just can't help trolling. LOL

------

At least with the HOX you get a MUCH better screen, better camera and a sexy show-off-your-phone design.

The SGS3 is pretty much the same performance for a user that the SGS2 gives, same app loading speeds, same boot, infact - the SGS2 gives better black levels and higher gaming performance in GTA3 at least.

plzzzz u guys. stop fighting. i just cant test both because my dad is going to buy it and come to bangladesh. he wont be going to UK for a long time. today i asked my friend who told me the other day not to buy HOX because of the issues that its better after 1.29 update. screen flickering is less ( but still there), battery life is ok (but not good) but he found the phone quite sluggish. still he said not to buy HOX coz with so much money you would want something perfect or near to perfect. not something for which evrytime u need to wait for an update. right guys? u guys can change it if you want to because there are opportunities in your country. but its not for me. i buy phones for long term use. but still i dunno y my heart still says HOX. you guys helped alot. but i guess every phone is differnet. i just hate HTC for making ONE x like this :@
[HTC One X] davidsteele1975:
Neither the HTC One X nor Galaxy S III is going to be perfect. For my tuppence...

The HTC One X; I like how it feels, I prefer LCD over AMOLED for battery life and brightness reasons (AMOLEDs are bright and use more juice; the One X's screen is gorgeous. It's thin, too and the camera is beautfully fast. I'll see battery life of a day and that's what I want, but bear in mind that my usage and signal won't be the same as yours.

The Galaxy S III, as it happens I also like how it feels too. The pentile screen issue is a complete non-event for me and the screen is equally gorgeous to my eyes. It might not be as sharp if I'm four inches away, but I don't use it from four inches... It's thinner, it doesn't have a camera bulge and so far, the battery life has been better to my genuine surprise.

Both have a few annoyances. Face Unlock on the One X requires you to slide across the screen. Complete FAIL when you've used a handset that doesn't need the slide across such as the S3 or Galaxy Nexus. Smart Stay on the S3 is an epically brilliant feature ruined by not working every once in a while. ;)

Sense and TouchWiz aside, Samsung have made the battery work well in the SGS III. It throws the whole, "it's a quad core, what do you expect?" argument away. Yes, it has a big battery, but it lasts longer. Oh and you can buy another.
[HTC One X] anand2ares:
sgs3 and one x

I had both one x and s3 and I tested them well before deciding. Both were fast performing compared to other devices. I tested by browsing them through by wifi and it was true that s3 lasted way long than one x(after update).one x was dead but s3 had had another 40% left.

About the ui sense and touchwiz were great but IMHO touchwiz was smoother and faster than sense. Both phone feels the same with weight,thickness and height. People blaming s3 design doesn't make any sense. I was with them until I held it my hand...... I took everything back I thought against it....(people with one x would have never used s3 and someone with s3 would never return it for anything). One x has a power saving core and it does its Job while s3 has a power saving mode like other galaxy devices which saves a lot power.

S3 is quicker when I did a browsing test but one x was giving a good white display with poor black. Both can handle all hd games with one x with its tegra uses thd. I tried few thd games on s3 and they were quicker to load on it. Back panel of one x is smooth polycarbonate and feels much better than s3's glossy plastic. About benchmark tests...(not overclocked).

Quadrant- one x-4832. S3-5502

Antutu - one x-10750. S3-13100

Nenamark -one x-47.3 fps .s3-58.9 fps.

Tests prove that s3 is better in both battery and performance and amloed is better than led when it comes display with pentile being great.audio and video is also better in s3 though couldn't f find much difference though. I also checked the local retailers and most of the one x has been exchanged for an s3 and that proved it. S3 is your best pick so go with it with no disrespect to HTC one x.

@ OP

You have to take into account one thing here...

Everything that has been posted here is subjective and based on personal opinions.

I got my OneX yesterday and personally this was the ONLY choice.

I have played extensively with my girls SGSII with ICS and it does what it says it does and does it well. I have a HTC Desire, this was my 1st HTC and 1st android and i love the Sense UI and the tight integration it has with things that i frequently use, ie twitter, facebook, weather, calendar and i dont need to download 3rd party apps to fulfill that functionality. With the OneX HTC have taken things to the very pinnacle and the OneX has lived up to the hype for me, i have used every version of android and Sense and with Sense 4 it feels like its adding extended functionality to ICS and not restricting it.

Touchwiz is not a very appealing UI to me and is very limited with regards to adding functionality that I find useful, though the hardware is what makes samsung devices shine, with HTC it is Sense combined with cutting edge tech and hardware and that appeals to me.

Yes, there have been some hiccups out the gate for the OneX but frequent OS updates have resolved these issues and i can assure that i have not experienced and of the "issues" that have been plaguing the OneX and i am very pleased with the choice i made.

If your heart says OneX, listen to it!!!!
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
i know. i just love the looks of one x. my heart says one X but my brain says sgs3. why? let me clarify. once i buy it i wont be able to replace it with other one x. thats just not happen in my country. my brain says what if i get a faulty one. what if:

1) battery is horrible. many people had to replace it because of this problem. they have got faulty battery.

2) there is a problem with wifi antenna.

3) there is a gap between the screen and the metal (because my physical presence wont be there when buying the phone. someone else will bring it)

4) there is a screen flickering issue and the yellow tint colour on the top.

5) screen lags. i saw two videos in youtube showing screen lagging in one x during gamely and also in desktop. search by : "htc one x hardware and software problem." you will find the videos

so if i buy it with any of these problems i am doomed. its easy for you guys staying in UK or USA but thats not the way things happen in our country man. so ryt at this very moment my heart and my brain is fighting. still confused because sgs3 is flawless out of the box. even if there is some glitches those can be fix with software update. in one x i can sacrifice software issues which can be fixed with later updates. most imp things are hardware and perfect battery life. i am just worried abt these.

i use my phone for 14 hrs daily without any charger around me. i mainly use it for calls (max 40 mins) ( 10 texts) ( 3hr songs) (1hr games) (30mins of wifi). i need my phone to fulfil this conditions.
[HTC One X] 3f1f37:
You have the final say bro, I am happy and content with my One :D
[HTC One X] JDBurnie:
I live in the UK, bought my grey One X about 3 weeks ago, also from within the UK.

NO problems whatsoever; perfect device.

Never experienced problems, infact i only made it better by flashing charmeleon rom, my phone can last AGES with one full charge, with heavy texting, data usage and gaming.

Oh and the One X feels better quality (in my opinion).

I Would go with the one x.

Also look at this HERE
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
My 2p...

I've had a One X about 6 weeks now - I love it. Not had any issues with it whatsoever. I had to replace my first handset because of fluff under the screen - but this has been the ONLY issue and it was an early build model.

My Dad got the S3 last weekend and, although it's good, it's not as good as the One X. Why?...

1. Screen brightness/viewing angles are crap compared to the One X

2. TouchWiz - it's crap, nothing more to say

OK, it has an SD card slot and you can replace the battery but if you have to replace the battery is means it's not good enough in the first place. My One X lasts from 7am to 11pm with well over 50% on light usage so should last the day if you actually use it. Remember, though, if you're using the handset to it's full potential then both the S3 and One X are going to suffer so make sure you keep a charger handy just in case
[HTC One X] mailman64:
Sorry but I'm a little confused here. Why do you want the One X when everything about it has you worried? Every post you have made listed out several things that worry you so why not get a phone that you don't have concerns about. Both phones are great. I currently have the HOX and really like it, but if I had all the concerns that you have, I would definitely go with a different phone.
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
i want the one x because i hate samsung. s3 looks like a box. no attitude you know. it looks ok bt one x looks far much better. i bought another phone which looked class. that the N900. its the best cell phone i have used till now ant it also looks porsche. if i buy one x i will buy it will buy it from UK since my dad is going to UK on the 11th. can you suggest me from where i shud buy it from?

and if someone sends me phone that he purchased from vodaphone and any other operator will i be able to use it in my own country?
[HTC One X] tadas_max:
i am the owner of hox and i love it. i am sure id love to own the s3 too. i think both phones are great. the differences are so minor that it doesn't matter which one you choose. speed? well i don't think it really matters as both phones are fast, if one is slower by few milliseconds doesn't mean its worse. because i could not feel the difference. if battery holds few hours less, well i don't care. it's not that significant.

the only reason i bought a hox is for sense. because i new that i want that, and don't care if its slower than TW

i think competition is good for everyone. but for me, i dont care, i like hox and i like s3 as i like MAN CITY and MAN UNITED

i know my opinion is not important at all, but i just find it funny that people fight and argue of which is better... both are great. love it. you will love it too, no matter which you choose. I promise
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
can anyone plz answer me?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Well said, I love my one x but if I had bought an s3 I would have felt the same about that as well. The one x does everything I need it to do and so does the s3, it's just the one x came first when my contract was up for renewal. All us android uses need to drop the hostility between each over and combine forces against the true enemy, and that is the crowd known as iphone uses :D
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Well I've had my SGS3 for only 2 days and have made my mind up already. I'm keeping the HOX.

As much as I like the SGS3 I just don't like the look of TouchWiz generally. It's features are good as in codec support but Sense has the much better Social Network integration. Simple things like Facebook birthdays in calender and you can directly send a greeting are very useful.

The screens....

My SGS3 has a yellow tint so requested a replacement from Amazon will see if that has it as well. But I can now say I prefer the SLCD2 over the AMOLED. Sure blacks are not as deep and contrast not as great the natural colours are better on the HOX, viewing angles are on par, text appears cleaner and sharper on the HOX and the benefit of a full RGB display and no need to worry about screen burn!

The cameras, both are good but I slightly prefer the HOX for it's lower aperture. SGS3 wins for videos but hopefully some devs can work some magic for high bit recording.

Both feel good in the hand and both look good in the flesh.

Sense vs Touchwiz - Both good for it's own feature set but I prefer Sense. Sense needs to be better optimised as there are microlags where as TW just flies.

SQ - SGS3 wins for headphone out, much nicer sounding and will improve with Voodoo but I've got my original SGS/Sansa Clips as well for music so not a biggie.

Call quality both are good but I think the SGS3 slightly edges it sounding louder.

Speakers - SGS3 is louder but can sound a bit muffled but the HOX volume may not be as high but sounds consistent.

Browsers - SGS3 wins for speed, loads pages quicker and it's faster than HTC. But HTC has text reflow which for me is worth the extra second or so it takes to load so I don't have to zoom in and out on a regular basis. Both have read modes but HTC implement this better with the bigger button to access it.

Battery - Tested the SGS3 on my normal working day conditions, both on their current stock radios and basebands drain battery similar. I can see the SGS3 will last a tad longer and in future with extended batteries will kill off the HOX but the HOX can last me a day anyway and custom kernels and once 3.x sources are out should improve.

Storage - SGS3 wins hands down, nothing more to say.

Development - SGS3 wins for unlocked bootloader. Both phones will have supported devs and the current roms for HOX are fine.

Well to sum it off, both are excellent phones. If I didn't have the HOX I'd be happily pleased with the SGS3 and it's screen but by having the HOX as my main phone since release the screen is just too good to give up.

I will be happy with my HOX and can happily pass by the SGS3 whilst I await another device, especially interested in the Note 2 whenever that comes out as that will be Samsungs high end device.

Both phones are current high end phones, whichever you choose be happy, it's good for Android and good for us as consumers to have this competition. It will only get better and look forward to the next set of phones to play with.
[HTC One X] MO3iusONE:
In all honesty I'm actually considering buying a galaxy nexus. Biggest reason is the notification light and removal battery. Hell I might even go back to my Droid pro since I miss having physical keys.

Anyways. The real advantage with the s3 would be the removal battery.
[HTC One X] _delice_doluca_:
i had a chance to use the SGS3 yesterday and i guess i have some opinions too.

first: the replacable battery is not a problem for me as a HOX owner because if i can carry a second battery for my SGS3 then i can carry it for HOX too.. would not matter if i could put it inside or not.

storage: i am still trying to exceed the 8 gb with my games and music :) so 25 gb of user space is more than enough for me but it is personal choice.. besides i would have to search for a class 10 card which is very expensive if i had a SGS3 and decided to expand the memory..

screen: surely amoled is consuming less battery and giving true blacks but the lighter colors are not ok, especially the greys and whites are really worse than HOXs screen.. and the viewing angles are narrower then HOX.. after 1 minute of watchng the two screens i would pick HOX without any doubt..

Performance: even though tegra 3 is said to come with 1.5 ghz CPU it lowers down to 1.2 Ghz when all the cores are online.. so samsung has an speed advantage here at about 19% with its full 1.4Ghz 4 core CPU.. but would it really matter? no, i think..

what really matters is the GPU clock scaling is directly linked to the CPU clock.. so with the GPU based softwares (even in the basic ones like quadrant and nenamark2) sometimes CPU is clocking down to 640 or 745Mhz or 1Ghz as it is not needed.. so does the GPU! because of this we can not benchmark the full potantiel of the Geforge GPU with the benchmarks.. but when it comes to the tegra optimized games, we can see what it is really capable of.. on the other hand the great mali-400 is as good as always with its -probably- 3 veriable clock speed.. (the fastest mali-400 was 384Mhz and this one should be around 500 or something or should come with more cores)

so in the benchmark comparison SGS3 has the advantage on both the CPU and the GPU sides.. besides HTC is clearly better with snapdragon SoCs and not so used to the arm cortex ones.. i believe we will have our HOXs performance unleashed in the future with updates since it is so new for HTC and for us :)

sound: calling sound is noticibly better in HOX i think.. i did not measure it with any method but i was able to hear and speak better with my HOX making the call..

heat problem: i do not think there is a heat problem unless i can hold the device in my hand and unless it melts down.. the ipad 3 also has it, most likely SGS3 will have it when it comes to playing games or using heavy processes.. when i was playing with them the SGS3 was not metal cold... they were both warm.. when idle, no one has the heat problem..

i am not going to compare the software and the design since they are all personal choices.. i have already made mine..
[HTC One X] enyaj:
Can't really go wrong whichever you choose. They are both great phones. Just flip a coin.
[HTC One X] JDBurnie:
I would agree
[HTC One X] AJerman:
The One X has a notification light... :confused:

I haven't had the opportunity to play with an SGS3 yet, and probably never will have the opportunity to play with an Exynos version since I'm in the US, but I honestly think I prefer the One X the most. I had the SGS with the SAMOLED pentile screen, then the Infuse with the SAMOLED+ RGB screen, so the RGB screen of the One X is a BIG plus for me. Anyone who says you can't tell a difference is blind. You may be able to look past the pentile screen if it's what you use every day, but side by side it's no comparison.

I'd kind of prefer the Exynos over the Tegra 3, but the Tegra 3 has it's own advantages like the companion core. Honestly, with that, my battery life isn't all that bad at all. My battery life is quite comparable to my SGS and my Infuse. I am able to get 10 hours out of it pretty easily, and that's good for me. If you NEED lots of battery life, perhaps the SGS3's bigger battery helps, but I don't consider the HOX to be too bad for a quad core with a 4.7" 720p display!
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
if i buy the one x then which version is bug free? whats this H23 and sh 24. which is the latest one and how to check it?

did anyone contacted HTC for this battery issue? is this issue solvable with OTA updates or custom kernel?or battery life will be like this forever?

my daily usage is 12 hours (from 8:00 a.m till 8:00 p.m) with calls ( max 40mins), txts ( max 10), 30mins of web browsing, 1hr of games ( mostly stick cricket or temple run. not so heavy games. but yes sometimes gangstar or shadowgun HD :p) songs ( 2hrs). few pictures or videos watching (mainly serials- maybe 1 or 2)...

will i be able to cover that from 100 percent?
