Great video. I actually kind of agree with your conclusion...the S3 might be the better "flagship", but I'd prefer using the One X on a day to day basis.

When comparing these phones, for me it always comes down to this:

Software can be improved and optimized, hardware cannot. The multitasking issue is already largely mitigated in many custom ROMs, and that situation will only improve once we get kernel source. With the S3, you're always going to be stuck with a pentile AMOLED display and what is, in my opinion, a lower build quality.

Still, having to choose between these phones is definitely a #firstworldproblem, because they're both A+ devices. It is a great time to be a gadget nerd.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Good review. Makes me happy to be sticking with my One X for the reasons you mentioned.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
I have to say, his video makes the SGS3 look really appealing when viewed from the top. As soon as you flip the phone over, it's ugly as sin.

If we were able to have the back of the One X with the front of the SGS3 including the rounded corners, with the matte coating and materials of the One X, it'd be the best phone ever.

I really just like how the front of that phone looks. ><

Superior display, battery life and design are worth more to me than any other cosmetic issues. HOX wins hands down in all three features I care about.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chund3r:
This company, among others, sells battery back plates for the GS3, its made me seriously consider purchasing the GS3 over the One X.

Good showmanship Arcadia and nicely executed comparison. IMO though, there really is no clear cut winner. You can walk away with either phone and feel satisfied that you own a great device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raqball:
Nice rewiew...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
I got to play with a DoCoMo (S4) SGS3 for a couple of days about two weeks ago while I was in Japan and compared it to my international One X. Other than the browser which Samsung always does an incredible job with, the SGS3 wasn't perceivably "faster." At least not after I loaded the same 93 apps I regularly use on my phone. Both phones are incredibly fast, noticeably faster than the previous generation of phones. I think when you get down to measuring performance of transitions in milliseconds it becomes irrelevant.

TW vs. Sense is personal preference. TW has been basically the same since the SGS1. Outside of introducing "ploink" and "tink" sounds TW3 and TW4 are 90% the same. Sense is an environment, TW is an OEM launcher and when you're actually trying to get stuff done Sense's comprehensiveness allows you to be more productive. When comparing in-built apps (social, e-mail, music) and integration Sense is a clear winner. If you don't like overlays TW wins because it's less intrusive. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed but TW hasn't been resized for the HD display and presents 20% less information. For example, in settings, you'll see eight options displayed in TW and 10 in Sense. That carries through in everything in TW and Samsung's stock apps. Coming from a i9100 I'm tired of looking at the same blocky, dark, and dreary interface. Sense seems brighter, more polished, contemporary, and is w/o question the better integrated UI.

Some stuff was left out of the review. HTC using partitions so the phone can be connected as mass storage vs. Samsung’s MTP is a big deal for people that transfer a lot of stuff back and forth between their phone and PC. You also don't have to screw around with drivers if you're using someone else's PC. That combined with slower NAND speeds as seen in AnTuTu leaves it half as fast at moving files as the One X. Samsung’s BT implementation is as funky as it’s ever been. The SGS3 had problems connecting and/or reconnecting pretty consistently where my One X never had an issue on the half dozen devices I tried both phones with. Also, A2DP on the SGS3 makes it sound like you’re listening to XM; there’s little separation, crappy range, and music is generally flat whereas A2DP on the One X is the best I've experienced.

As for the other stuff like a non-removable battery, weak multi-tasking and non-expandable storage, it is what it is. If those are hot buttons than the decision's pretty easy on which way to go and all the other stuff becomes secondary.

In case it helps anybody comparing the two phones, here's why I kept the One X instead of getting a SGS3 as I originally had planned.

P.S. - My comparison is to the international One X. I haven't even seen an AT&T version and don't know if some of the things I'm highlighting may be different between the two versions.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I just went to the Sprint store to look at the GSIII and was not impressed. I was seriously considering adding a line to my AT&T account so I can get it, but I have no interest in doing that anymore. First off, the color choices are ridiculous. I hate white phones (aside from the HOX which is just smexy) and the the blue really just isn't for me. Where's the black, Sammy??? I think the color, plastic, and overall shape of the phone really just belie the actual power of the thing, and I don't like that one bit. I am a big fan of industrial design, and as far as Galaxy phones are considered I think the Epic 4G Touch was the most attractive of them all. The screen on the GSIII, while having brilliant colors, was instantly recognizable as pentile and that to me is a major, major deal breaker. Compared side by side with the HOX, well... there's just no comparison. The HOX's screen smokes the GSIII's. The UI was incredibly smooth, I will give them that, perhaps even smoother than my HOX running CleanROM (which is ridiculously smooth), but after using Sense 4.0 for a while, I am once again not a fan of Touchwiz (I loved it on my E4GT). I think it too belies the power of the device because of how colorful and toyish it is. The whole thing just screams toyish and is really hard to take seriously as the powerhouse that it actually is. Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone, but I just can't see myself using it. I'm glad I got my HOX and am not jealous of the GSIII in the slightest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The only thing that is even remotely making me THINK of switching is Developers FLOCK to the Galaxy S phones. They've all been rooted, bootloader lock isn't a problem, and they have source.

I love Android, but not for the stock experience. I like to play, and the SGS III has more to play with, or it least I feel like it will in short order.

Were it not for Scrossler's awesome ROM I'd be rocking a Gnex right now.

I hope to stick with the HOX for a while but if a deal comes up on Craig's list I'll have to seriously consider it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubcramp:
Pretty fair assessment, thanks for the review. After using the One X for nearly 2 months I exchanged it for the SGS3. The screen is the only thing I am missing, and I miss it a lot!

Makes me VERY excited to know that phones with the total package are just around the corner. That's good news for everyone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Matt-Helm:
Nice job.

I change phones like underwear. I'm so on the fence right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
So jealous of their multitasking ;(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] unleashed12:
YUP +1, Thats literally the only thing that will make me jump the fence over to the GSIII, the one x multitasking is literally atrocious, chrome reloads pages if i go to change the song on the music player. smh htc, terrible terrible...

btw, good review i liked it, felt as if you were totally spot on with all the problems of the hox (little lag, multitasking etc)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Dazedstate:
You should try CleanRom with multitasking mods. It's amazing :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
Out of curiosity, are you running any custom ROMs, or are you still on stock?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
Just wondering, where do you get all the phones for your reviews from?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sidneymac:
I find standby on the galaxy s3 way better than how it's described in the video. Currently the phone has been running for 8:40 hrs and with 79% battery life remaining. I used fast facebook, sent messages etc .. no heavy usage. For the first hour it remained at 100% with no drop until I started using it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidn11:
I wish the multi-tasking was better though. And what's with the 2.1 GB of internal storage can't we get the total 11 GB as one storage so I can install large apps? Is there a way to partition the GB space?

But I do love the HTC One X display screen that is the one of the overriding factor that I want to keep my HTC One X and NOT get a S3.

I am waiting til Friday so I can actually see a demo S3 before I decide to switch or not to switch.

Oh one of the things I do like about the S3 is the ability to plug-in USB devices and having the S3 actually using the device. I mean someone plugged an IBM keyboard via USB and it worked! I wonder if HTC will ever allow that on the One X?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:

I think I'm going to sell my one x. If I can get $400 I think I'll go pick up an s3.

Another part of me kind of wants to get a nexus so I can run vanilla jb.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JBH_Film:
For me I appreciate the screen and hardware of the HOX. Just a beautiful device.

And Sense 4 is a totally nice UI. I have a gnex and Sense has some nice features in comparison.

For the performance issues mentioned, HTC deserves to be punished. HTC needs to wake up and fix the laggy nature of Sense.

But after the crappy reception of my gnex compared to other LTE devices on V (multi-day-stationary-side-by-side-comparisons here), Sammy can suck it. I will never buy another of their devices.

Having had both the screen on the X is a bit better imo. This screen is amazing also but just not as clear as the X. The speed of this thing is insane though. I think the S3 is better for me at the end of the day. Great video review!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lessthanzach:
I'm thinking about selling mine to the first person who offers $400 but I'm curious if the s3 is a big improvement. At least enough to justify the $250 I'll have to drop. Btw how much did you sell yours for and where? And where did you find the best price on the s3 if you don't mind me asking?

Good video review by the way. I might add that in your battery comparison I noticed you had some serious drain coming from a torrent progran that wasn't on the one x. I'd like to see some more tests without those kind of variables. Anyone able to reference an article?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] corythug:
So glad I don't gotta pick. Picked up my GSIII last night, gave my girl my one x, therefore basically that's as close to having both as I can get without spending hundreds more dollars lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raqball:
I agree... I have both and the S3 is going back to AT&T on Monday..

My reasons for keeping the One X over the S3?

--Build quality

--Screen

--Looks

--Hate the center button on S3

--Sense is better than TW

--To many gimmick apps on S3 that don't work properly

Every time I look at the S3 I feel it should say made by Mattel instead of Samsung.. It looks cheap and it feels cheap never mind the Pebble Blue has 3 different shades of Purple.. BARF! The front is one shade, the center button is another shade, and the back is yet again another shade..

Its a nice phone but for me the One X smokes it!

My .02
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tophaholic:
You could not have put it better. Absolutely agree. Hate the el cheapo plastic make on the SGS3...also....sick and tired of the dark look on the Touchwiz and also on stock android. Loving the Sense4 so far (coming from SGS2).....my review post on this forum has more details if anyone is interested
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mysterioustko:
You do realize both the One X and Galaxy S3 are both made of polycarbonate? So if you feel the GS3 is made of "cheapo plastic", then you must most certainly feel the same way about the One X right?

PS

Polycarbonate isn't a cheap material. It's actually a very durable and good quality material.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] corythug:
Some of the motion controls are not only cool, but downright useful even! Lol. But yeah the S-Crap is meh. Nothing special, in fact it's been stripped off my GSIII. One X is a much more solid phone for sure, my GSIII feels like a play thing. However the look is growing on me. Dare I say I like the front of the GSIII better then the one x front. I so much prefer the finish on the back of the one x though. Tough choice. Honestly I think I'm leaning towards the Sammy. Although it doesn't matter much as can steal my one x from my girl to play with as I please hah.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tomatoes8:
Here is a riddle that doesn't seem to add up. If the HTC One X really did have 50 million times better screen and build quality, why would the GS3 be trouncing it in sales left and right? Why would the XDA GS3 threads outnumber the One X and EVO 4G LTE threads by a considerable margin? Now it seems like the GS3 is spanking the One X in the entire Android population whether it be the casual fans, editors, and XDA tech geeks. For the casuals you can just say Samsung has better marketing but for the other two you have a harder sell.

So unless you truly believe the GS3 has the casuals because of marketing, has the editors because Samsung paid them off for good reviews, and has the XDA it geeks because of the GS2's popularity you can continue to believe so. But maybe, just maybe the GS3 screen is not so bad and the build quality is not actually as cheap as you wish to believe and that is why it is trouncing the One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nman123:
Simple more money more advertising

One x had a problem through customs which delayed it

Boot loader problem too

However now that's fixed it kills the s3 in screen and feel and is the same in other categories

I prefer one x over s3

And s3 is like a iPhone in the way it advertises

Also one x is only for att
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
Because some things matter more than the phone's physical feel and screen. The S3 ticks off more boxes for every group. Removable battery, sd slot, kernel source, etc. It still has a great screen, just not the BEST screen (especially not out doors). It is definitely a desirable device. But so is the One X. It's tough to justify one over the other.

I will sacrifice feel for support any time though
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JasonJoel:
More popular doesn't equal better. Plus better is subjective too.

There is no doubt that the GS3 is, and will always be, more popular than the One X.

For my needs though, the screen is an absolute non starter with the GS3, and I can wait a little longer for source.

There is no right and wrong on this.

There are already threads that document how to return to s-on and install a stock rom. The key is you need to make sure that the stock ROM you choose is the latest GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 for your region. That ROM will be the one that gets the OTA notification for ICS.
