[Galaxy S III General] Attackcenter:
GS3 VS HTC One X: Compared. And the winner is:

1. Better Speed: Winner: GS3. The manufacturing of the GS3 is a newer process, runs cooler, and overall is faster than the One X. If you look in the One X forums you will find people are having problems with One X using one core at times and is causing problems. Some are oveclocking or underclocking just to avoid glitches. This is the One X out of the box that is having issues with the Tegra 3 architecture.

2. Better Camera: Winner: GS3. If you check out the reviews you'll find overall that the One X has an inferior camera. Not to mention I've heard word that it only does 25fps in video compared to the GS3 that does 30fps. All the reviewers mostly say the same thing that GS3 camera is better. The only thing everybody agrees is that the One X burst mode is better. Big deal. :)

3. Better Sound: Winner: HTC One X. The beats software that HTC One X has is nothing but a software hack and is not done through hardware. So, the improvements that come from Beats, the GS3 is capable of these benefits through software. One area that I would say that the One X may have the GS3 beat is in sound performance out the speaker. I saw a comparison. The One X audio had a fuller sound out of the speaker that the GS3. Although, I think they might have said that the GS3 had a little bit louder volume.

4. Better Durability: The One X is made of Polycarbonate, which sounds like a good thing. Right? No. Because the quality control is so bad at the factories, HTC fans are having to buy theirs locally. They're having to pick through boxes to find a good one :). What they are finding is creaks in the plastic, loose builds, and malformed polycarbonate mold. How bad? Well, bad enough that on they're forums pole 30% had miscellaneous problems. Not to mention complaints about screens that had dusts specks underneath, glue underneath the screen, "screen ripple", and screen cracks. Am I making this up, no. Read the One X forums. Not to mention, that the curvature of the glass on the HTC One X increases the chances of screen breakage. The lightweight plastic on Galaxy devices (while not having the most expensive feel) through the years has been good when it comes to dropping, as the plastic is very bendable and flexible.

5. Better Design: Winner: Tie. The One X has a more "razor" phone type design which looks very nice. Although, the GS3 is thinner. Overall, the GS3 has the better design because the rounded edges makes it more comfortable to use. Its just like the Iphone 3gs design vs the Iphone 4s design. The Iphone 3gs is a better design because it looks good and feels way nicer in your hand. I'm not to fond of the "plain" back of the GS3 or some of the curved accents that are easily seen on the white GS3. Overall, I like the design of the GS3 because it looks good, it is thin, and is the most comfortable in your hand.

Overall the winner is the GS3. I had a opportunity to get either phone. I actually was set on buying the HTC One X. That was until I read all the problems that they were having at the One X forums. In the end these were my observations. The last straw for me was when users were having stuttering problems with the video player months after the phone was released. They were able to fix the problem by deleting flv files that were in the gallery directory (you can't be serious lol). Another notable mention is that the HTC One X doesn't even have its own video player and they rely on the gallery out of the box. Finally, the GS3 has better codec support that is built in to the hardware.

HTC One X vs GS3

Better Speed/Faster. One X is 1.5GHz and the GS3 is 1.4GHz so we're like 0.1 faster guys. Using this same reasoning all our workstations in the office still have 3.8GHz Pentium 4s in them because who wants a crappy 2.67GHz i7? This is how we manage to come up with such efficient design decisions!

Better Camera. Like 70% better! What do you mean, quantify? Ours also starts 0.29s faster so imagine if you used the camera once a day for a YEAR we'd save you almost TWO MINUTES!

Better Sound. Beats Audio guys, it's SO the best sound ever. Do you think Dr Dre would use a GS3? Pfff. Does the GS3 have BEATS AUDIO? No way, they have something called Wolfson and we all know that just sucks.

Better Durability. One X is POLYCARBONATE whereas the GS3 is just some kind of PLASTIC. Polycarbonate plastic. So there!

Better Design. World acclaimed design and we were disappointed in the SGS3 being better so we claim it's disappointing.
