To show the darker side of things a little bit, I figured I'd add a little more. It's something that has been eating at me, but most owners of the SGS3 probably choose to ignore it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753833

Right now, there is a problem that happens on occasion where the S3 completely wipes your IMEI on a ROM flash, rendering you unable to get anything above Edge. I'd have to say, that's a pretty big risk to be taking every flash right guys? Especially with no definite known cause.

Also, in the AOKP build USB transfer doesn't work. In order to get files on my S3 (because I love AOKP), I have to pull them from either Drive or Dropbox.

Also, I experienced my own baby brick today (on the S3) as a reminder to be cautious, I'll share the tale with you.

I was playing Saints Row 2, decided I was going to flash another ROM to troubleshoot my random reboots. Well, after backing up my battery was low (my fault for being inattentive, no doubt.) so the phone died during the ROM flash. O_O. Wouldn't turn on, nothing to boot into. Couldn't get into recovery (I don't know why. Maybe because I'm an idiot lol) or download mode.

I could get it to turn on for just a second, so I knew it wasn't a hard brick yet. Battery was just low, and the phone had nothing in its flash so it wouldn't charge it. Went to radioshack, bought a battery charger, came home and charged it. After that, I was able to go into download mode to get a stock SGSIII rom.

Now I'm back on AOKP happily and safely. Yes, my IMEI is still there and 3G/H still work. It was scary as hell, but everything's gravy.

If it was the One X and it's non-removable battery, I would have been screwed right? I mean, yeah I could have opened it and removed the battery anyway. But it would have been a much bigger deal with an even more void warranty, etc.

I got my One X on launch day so did not get to compare them until recently.

My sense was that the SGS3 was a solid phone, but its ergonomics are a mess. The physical home button just feels clunky and outdated. The lock button on the right side was a particular problem for me because I'm left-handed and hold my phone in my right. I found it almost impossible to use the SGS3 because I was constantly locking it by accident--my natural grip put my thumb right over the lock button. (FWIW, I have a similar issue with the HOX volume buttons, but having the volume change on me isn't in the same league annoyance-wise).

Basically, I never really had a chance to play with it because I could tell it was not going to work for me at a very basic level. I did note that the HOX screen is in a class by itself in comparison, though, and that's a biggie for me.

YMMV

Edit: I should add that I echo many of the complaints about Sense--but there are plenty of custom roms that solve these issues.

I work at rogers and have had a chance to play with both. Straight stock vs. Stock, I personally looove the HTC. But from a modders point of view, the built in battery, no SD card, and no source code released, I'd have no choice but to go with the s3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chivamex10:
Bought the one x outright because I believed in it that much. Came from an iPhone 4s. The camera is what sold me at the time. It was the 1st time that an android phone's design really impressed me. The HOX screamed quality. Went to the galaxy s3 launch in SF and wasn't really impressed at all. I ended up getting a s3 thru work. So I have the best of both worlds right now. Honestly you cant go wrong with either phone.

I was super hating the s3 at first but after using it on a daily basis I'll admit it's a lot easier to handle with one hand and it's way more comfortable to hold. Just like a pebble. My biggest gripe with the HOX is the power button. It doesn't stick out much and it's at the top of the phone vs the side. When theres only one button that can turn your screen on it's pretty crucial that you can reach it with ease. I can't unlock my HOX with one hand. I can with the s3. This is an action we do a million times a day. So right off the bat it's a better experience with the s3. Recent apps is retarded on the HOX. Ive brought it to the attention of two HTC reps and they have no answer for me. Screen is more accurate one the HOX but the s3 looks much more appealing, especially the icons. Hands down though the HOX has a better screen. Battery life is slightly better one the one x. I usually get an hour more of battery life.

It's design vs performance. The s3 looks so damn cheap with its glossy finish and metallic/brushed metal look. HOX is better quality and better built. Your average consumer isn't going to be looking at rooting/roms/development (aka me). At the end of the day I still pick the HOX. There will a fix for the recent apps. I like sense vs touch wiz. The only thing I wish this phone had was a slot for sd...

Can't go wrong with either phone.

S3 vs 1X

I too have had the chance to experience both phones. I first purchased the HTC and was blown away by how good it looked and how it felt in the hand. If we were to judge phones on looks alone, it would win every time. The screen, in my opinion is better and more natural looking than the S3. The icons almost look 3D. For me it comes down to two things (like many have already mentioned), looks vs performance. The 1X is the better looking phone with a nicer screen. However, it cannot match the S3 in performance. Where the 1x feels buggy, the S3 feels a tiny bit more snappy with less lag and crashing. The multitasking is light years ahead of the 1X. So for me, having both phones right now, I prefer to use the S3 day to day, but I do miss the look and feel of the 1X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
i'm sticking with the HOX until after kernal source is released, then I will make my decision. the phone has so much to offer, it's just a matter of who has the patience for it.

Not that the one x won't get JB and I hope it does soon. But as it stands now this is to the advantage of the GSIII. Still have both but picked up the GSIII because I thought the dev might be going harder and faster, which going by this might be coming to fruition. Not that the one x is really lagging behind in dev though, tons of awesome roms.

Either way I'm just stoked to have JB already :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] holtenc:
Started with HOX. Had it since shortly after it came out. Just got the SGSIII 747 today after I broke the HOX. The following are my observations:

Stock ROM vs Stock ROM: HOX hands down. Sense is nice looking and it all flows well. TouchWiz made me feel like I was playing with an OS from 2 years ago. I just couldn't stand it. Personally I prefer AOSP based software. I think the OEMS butcher the apps while trying to differentiate themselves from each other. Mail apps... Sense and TouchWiz mail apps are pathetic (not gmail app, active sync mail). Gallery... Negative. MMS/SMS... NO. Ok now I'm starting to rant and getting off topic.

Hardware: Both are super snappy, but I felt that stock Sense ran smoother than stock TouchWiz. HOX camera is superior to SGSIII. Clearer and sharper pictures. Although, both are pretty fast. HOX has a slightly better display IMO.

Battery: Not sure yet. Just got SGSIII today.

Build Quality:.....I don't think I need to elaborate here... (HOX is an utter tank! Took tons of punishment and never looked the worse for it)

Other thoughts: I forgot how handy having a removable SDcard and battery is. SGSIII comes with bootloader already unlocked. Dev on the SGSIII is a little more progressed compared with HOX. Once I flashed AOKP on the SGSIII... wow. I love it now.

Conclusion: Upon turning on SGSIII I was like "WTF did I just buy? I want my HOX back." But with a custom rom on it I'm all grins. I'm super impressed with how well it runs now. So, for now, I'm sticking with the SGSIII. When HOX quirks get worked out and source is released so the devs can make some fully functoinal AOSP/AOKP roms.. I'll seriously consider switching back. I would easily trade everything the SGSIII has to offer for HTC build quality and the display on the HOX.

(This is all just my opinion. I state nothing as fact)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcache:
I completely agree your review. I have HOX now and I had to deal with G3 sometimes... Esthetically HOX is far beyond the Samsung, both case and UI. I just blem htc for missing sd slot, pour battery life and missing OTG (now experimental on Eternity Project kernel). But just a matter of time, this machines has a big potential.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gharris040604:
Yea cm10 is on the att sgs3 but its no flipping fun when u flash and lose your imei number major deal breaker if u ask me
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] akaivan:
In terms of battery life One XL wins. In terms of camera, GS3 takes better low light photos.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] freakboy13:
I beg to differ that. Its about the same with the gs3 being only slightly better...once in a while.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
There is a lot of fallacies in this post. Better performance is untrue in its rawest from. Its also been proven the battery is worse on the G3 despite AMOLED.

HOX with AOSP is the better device. Better screen. Stronger battery life. Better build materials and quality of design. And dead on same performance. You're just missing SD slot (cloud fixes that for me) and source. That's it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Same. HOX is using a 2.0 and G3 is using a 2.6. Lower number is better for low light scenarios.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] justinlagace:
In regards to the camera, you can see objectively on GSM arena (I can't post links because I don't have permissions yet! yikes.)

In the real world, I find even my s2 pictures to be *ever so slightly* sharper than my HOX photos.

BUT.

The camera software, and the dynamic range of the HOX's camera seems to be a lot better. The integrated HDR mode is much more advanced than the one in the S3. Sharpness aside, the HOX has the better camera, but objectively the s3 still captures a bit more detail with a bit less noise.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] and2cs:
if you are asking people here (one x forum), most people will say one x.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MrKickstand:
Not exactly, as you most likely read, a good amount of users in this section HAVE used both phones and have actually gave pro's and con's of both devices instead of just giving reasons why the HOX is better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:
Well like others have stated I now have both and I'm not sure if their even running the same processor. I think sense is more customizable, but it's like the chip is way better in functionality in the s3 multitasking, oc, raw speed, the one x can't compare, IMHO.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s1mpd1ddy:
I just traded my galaxy note for a HOX. Ive had an LTE S3 since launch.

Initial impressions on HOX: its a sexy phone. Very very sexy. The screen lives up to its reputation and the camera is a tad better then the S3.

However ... The stock os lags and having both phones side by side, it feels like the s3 runs circles around it. After I got home I couldn't wait to root and get rid of some bloat on the HOX. Compare this to my s3 where I feel I don't even need to do anything to the stock experience.

I like both phones. The s3 will be my daily but I know ill be taking this HOX out frequently
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roscoejackson:
FWIW, Lisa Gade from mobiletechreview gives the edge to the One X in her comparison video, citing the build quality, screen, and UI. She tests just about every phone that hits the market.

Indvidually, she gives One X 4.5 stars out of 5, and the GS3 4 stars (due to cheap build, waning love for SAMOLED, and a UI packed with worthless features.)

Great, I sound like a fanboy now.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I have the One X which I love and I also "had" the Galaxy S3. Had because I returned it the other day due to imei bug going around. I am most likely going to get the i9300 Quad Core version of the S3 since it seams a bit more solid than the American versions.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AstroDigital:
If I did not own a HTC One X, I say great and go for the Galaxy S III but I own the HTC One X and the Galaxy S III is not a major upgrade.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madlaw1071:
Seems like FAR MORE complaints with the HOX than the SGS 3. I follow threads for both phones on many sites and the HOX while being of sturdier build with a brighter screen seems to have more bugs(radio, battery, multi-tasking) than the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:
Yeah, the only issues I've seen with the sgs3 is wifi and people loosing their imei.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madlaw1071:
Not aware of either of those issues so they cant be too widespread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:
Well the imei and wifi is hit and miss. There's a thread for everyone who's having the imei issue in the att sgs3 development. But the imei issue is due to custom flashing it seems not unrooted devices, while the wifi issues came from stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Droidz:
I just had ATT switch out my One X for a GS3 after having warrantied 6 HOXs. I didn't want to switch because of the build quality and feel of the HOX but the GS3 is definitely a better device in use, I was skeptical at first about switching to it but 6 times is way too many manufacturer defects on HTC's side. But I don't regret it, if you can get past the cheaper plastic and lighter weight, which aren't necessarily bad things either.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madlaw1071:
6? That's effin crazy. The GS 3 isnt perfect but it seems to be the best of the punch. Very disappointed by the Atrix's battery and camera or that couldve been a winner for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I haven't lost IEMI but my Wifi is horrid. I can walk out of the room the router is located in and lose signal completely. Since I'm not original purchaser I have to wait until Warranty Services has some in stock to swap it out. I guess I have to live with it for a while.

Now onto comparing the two devices.

The ONLY real advantages I see to the GS3 right now are the removable battery and the dev community.

Yes there's an SD card but it's severely crippled by a couple of things, at least for me. 1) No Mass Storage mode, Samsung decided to go the MTP route.

2) the programs I wanted the SD card for don't work with it. There's no way to download music from Spotify or Google music to anywhere but internal memory.

My 32 GB card is in there for pictures, Titianium Backup and nandroids only.

Cyanogen has released test builds of CM 10 on the SGS 3 and they're pretty functional.

Both phones are excellent. Both are good choices. There;s no reason to fanboi one vs the other.

Look and feel are a personal preference.

I see no reason to champion the HOX over the SGS 3 or vice versa.

oh and Samsung didn't screw up the multitasking.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Nice to see you finally came back down to earth. Haven't been around since I left the HOX, but when I was you were quick to bash anyone who mentioned the SGS3 or the One X multitasking issues.

MTP to me is a good thing. You can go to any (newer) PC and access your files without installing drivers or anything. Plus you while plugged in and accessing said files your phone still sees the storage as well.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Itaintrite:
I just got a GS3 for my sister. After handling both phones, I will say this. I will never buy the GS3 because of one main reason: the physical home button. It feels unbalanced. It's longer than any home button I've personally used. It doesn't feel solid when you press the edges of the button. There's no "click". Samsung went backwards with this IMHO.

The phone itself is really nice though. Slightly but noticeably lighter than the 1X. I actually prefer the side power button vs top. Software wise, Touchwiz "feels" a bit more laggy than Sense.

If you ask me, I would definitely recommend the 1X (unless you really need the better and removable battery).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I never had to chance to "live" with the gs3, but my buddy has one and we work alongside each other 12 hours a day. I'll state the obvious, OneX has better build, awesome screen.. purely my opinion, but I find my OneX camera slightly better MOST of the time. In different lights and situations the galaxy takes better pics but not too often. (Also think galaxy has a better front facing camera, read all 71 posts and nobody mentioned that). Along with everyone else I wouldn't even bother calling it "multitasking" on the oneX. Gs3 beats that without comparison. However I'm running cleanROM 4.1 dev and I have to say Scott has helped it a decent amount with his multitasking tweaks. Still no comparison though lol. Battery is better I find on the OneX. I have a device that has no bugs, so sense 4 never gave me any trouble. Even stock it was really smooth and fast! My wife has a stock one and she loads it down with thousands of pictures and a ridiculous amount of apps and it still doesnt lag and everything opens almost instantaneous. It Looks fantastic. I've never been a fan of touchwiz, looks outdated for a flagship. Non removable battery sucks, but I like having a solid phone that's all in one piece, no lines or gaps flawing its beauty.. no SD card sucks, but no phone I've ever owned gave me storage trouble as I tend to keep my devices on a diet, but I'll give that to the galaxy of course. Devs are doing a damn awesome job with development on OneX despite lacking kernel source. Cleanrom and rebelrom are everything I'm looking for in software though.. we both also listen to headphones pretty often. Same beats headphones, and its noticeably clearer and better sounding one my OneX, maybe BC of beats integration? Idk lol... (Sound was something else that hasn't been mentioned in comparison). The home button on galaxy sucks also. Feels cheap, long and awkward. performance wise it would take seriously anal nitpicking as they are both blazing ass fast phones. But overall in all truthfullness, I think the OneX has the edge... The machine is just badass.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gutterball:
Me personally I really want a good, no defects, tegra3 device. If I were too switch too something? it definetly wouldn't be the sgs3 its not all that different than the one x plus another thing not mentioned is the price factor in most cases your talking at least a hundred dollar difference between the 2. (Unless contract then no difference).You save a lot more cash with the one x and once kernel source drops we will have a way to use USB otg storage. Plus a screen operating better in the sun is a definite plus for me! You know how many times I had to sit there looking for a shady spot just to see a text or pic on my atrix or sgs2. That's extremely annoying to me! So what I did was buy the one x and then bought a nexus 7 on top of that. Just gonna be broke for a week or 2 lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Both are same price retail on at&t anyway
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I had the sgs3 for 28 days before I returned it. I bought it at full retail and in those 28 days its value went from $600 to darn near $400 because the market was just flooded with them. The phone is nice and super smooth. The smoothness of the os made up for the nastiness that is touchwiz and I say that as a Samsung buff. All else as meh. The screen was slightly bigger but I found myself for the first time saying that I liked slcd2 more. The removable battery and microsd are the only things really to make or break the comparison. While I love the ability to swap batteries, I ultimately returned the phone and went with the one x again for the beautifully superior design, sharper and better colored screen, awesome oem accessories like the htc car dock (the sgs3 car dock is a complete joke)and the better camera. Even though people say its stupid, I also enjoy the beats audio. It sounds so much better in my car that any kind of setting or beats emulator I could find on the galaxy s3. Those all(plus getting $590 back and buying a att one x for $375) helped mold my decision and I'll be happy with the one x for a long while.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Uberchu:
The S3 has better software. Come at me bro.

I've used both phones and decided to stick with the galaxy s III. I may be one of the few but I like the amoled compared to the slcd 2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joho5:
Used them both extensively. I like the galaxy s3 because of the fluidity of the phone, the multitasking isn't even a comparison even with any of the mods applied to the one x, and the availability to change batteries and or storage.

Everyone comments on the build of the one better, and my opinion on this is the building material is better, but I hate the flimsy(ness) of how the screen isn't flush on the body of the phone on the one x.

The one thing that I believe the one x edges out the s3 is the screen. The screen displays a little better, but let's be real, they both are high resolution 1280x720 screens so it's not a crazy amount like in have read.

Touchwiz is pretty plain but blazing fast and buttery smooth on the s3.

Galaxy s3 will have a bigger dept of developers as well just because its reputation.

And the multitasking is leaps and bounds better on s3.

The last three things I mentioned are the reason I prefer s3 over one x.

With that said, both are superb phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wangcliff:
I don't really care about the build and multitasking. I believe both phones are great phones. However, One X looks better for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Agreed, its a personal preference. For me the build, accessories and beats make me enjoy it more. Would I rock a SGS3 if i didnt have a HOX? Sure would.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tankmetal:
If both phones where out when I got it I still would go one x. LCD screen and build quality are better. Also I thought I would care about non removable battery and limited storage but as it turns out, not an issue.
