[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Hi people I wanted to give you guys, and girls, a vague and short review of the Samsung Galaxy S2(E4GT) and the HTC One X. I have had both phones now, traded in the touch for the One X, and I have used both extensively.

First is, Epic 4G Touch: Owned for 3 months and flashed everything from Sfhub's one-click's to Calkulin's Fe11(ICS). I probably flashed that phone literally...I going to guess..112 times. Not a fake made up number just for you information. :p

The things I love about the E4GT are:

1. Easy to use; Flashing and modding are simple and straightforward.

2. Dev support is great!; PhantomHacker and Calkulin are personal favorites.

3. Battery life is great for such a big screen and heavy app usage.

4. The Super AMOLED Plus screen is a joy to have on the phone because the saturation and color quality is very nice.

5. The removable battery is a must for long trips.

6. Micro-SD card slot is an obvious advantage for storage/flashing.

Second is, HTC One X: owned for 3 days now and loving it more, and more.

I haven't rooted/flashed anything on this phone, yet. Only due to the fact that Dev support is low and there isn't a clear "favorite" amongst the Dev's yet to support a boost to the development.

The things I love about the HTC One X are:

1. The UI is the BEST I've ever seen on any smartphone, much better then the E4GT to be honest, due to second thing I love.

2. The priority of the GUI and the application's priority are reversed when it comes to the HTC One X; The Sense 4.0 has priority over the applications and so when the OS is running low on RAM it auto-kills apps and background services to keep the user interface running as smooth as an Iphone( the only good thing about an Iphone).

3. The high-resolution(720p) Super LCD2 screen makes ANY video look good. I'm not going to lie either..I've had both phones and the One X has the E4GT beat like a bratty child. Just for clarification I LOVE the 4G Touch so don't take what I say as bashing.

4. The GPS actually works. Every time. In 2 seconds.

5. (ICS) This phone came with ice cream sandwich BUILT IN. I got tired of wait, and waiting, and waiting for the official OTA of ICS and with this phone I don't even have to question about any updates. HTC One X runs ICS v4.0.3 with Sense 4.0 on top just fyi.

6. This isn't specifically a One X "function" or anything but all phones allow a certain Mbps to be used efficiently and this phone easily does: 35Mbps down, 2.5Mbps up.

The Bad about the E4GT:

1. Slow network speeds: 2.8Mbps down, 1.6Mbps up on 4G, best speed.

2. GUI lagging on stock, custom, or leak.

3. Slower processor: 1.2 on e4gt vs 1.5 on one x

4. Lower brightness then some older phones like the Epic 4G.

5. High chance of bricking while flashing ICS(in reference to newbies).

6. Overheating on stock; replacements are usually given from Sprint.

The Bad about the HTC One X:

1. Sense 4.0 SWALLOWS RAM for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2am in the morning McDonald's. I am always at, or lower, than 200MB of ram available. In fact I'm currently at: Used 508 MB - Free 164 MB

2. No Google Chrome for this phone yet. It says "not available for your model".

3. Battery life is a lot less than on the Epic 4G Touch if used actively.

4. Hardly any dev support for this phone on XDA and so I haven't even been able to root my phone yet. They say that HTC is pushing to lock out rooting and so they haven't been able to find a loop hole through their efforts.

5. The number one thing I hear complaints from, my family, is that the higher-resolution spaces the application icons VERY far apart. You could actually fit another icon in between them but HTC didn't make this an option.

6. There's too much payware that is installed on the phone. I can't even use AT&T Navigation without paying for it. It sucks.

Okay well that is all I got right now because I'm going to go wash my car and eat some McDonald's and become the ultimate McFatty, super-sized. :cool:
