[Galaxy S III General] Shidapu:
I don't own an HTC One X, but a close friend to me do, i've played with it, and Sense in all its fairness is absolutly fantastic, i love Sense, but the phone felt "slow" compared to the SG3, im not being biased here, because i really hate Touchwiz, its soo boring, bloated (Sense in some manner too) but all in all, Sense UI wins big, Phone wise (Battery, SDcard slot) SG3 Wins big here..

One thing i am biased at is the way how development in the gaming industry works, Nvidia with their crap about PhysX has allways pissed me off, and they WILL do it again with phones, mark my word, thats why im never ever gonna support Nvidia phones ever, not ever.. I rather see Open source giving birth to new frontiers instead. Linus Torwald said this himself, Nvidia with their crap attitude to open source is destroying what Google made to begin with.

Smart people will go with what is smart, the SG3 is a great phone, many owns it by now, its such a huge hit that Apple got so scared ****less that they had to sue (Pay top money) to block Samsung from selling their phones.. Now that people tells a good story if the allmighty Apple is affraid, something has to be too good to be true about the SG3.. ;)

Every SG3 is unique in the manner that every persons phone can act and have longer or shorter battery time depending on the persons use and phone condition when made, my SG3 is at 71% Battery left since i pulled the plug this morning around 10.00 GMT + 2, thats 15 hours.. And im going to bed now, plugging it back in the wall..
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Totally understandable. I agree that sense is beautiful, simply beautiful. But touchwiz works much better cause sense is bloated, even with the newest improved version. I believe jelly bean is gonna give HTC sense what they needed the most, better performance with little to no lag. Now if HTC can be more generous and give something with more than a 1800 mah battery....
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
I wasn't taken in by the hype but I was just expecting the same kind of jump in features from S1 to S2 but the S3 really just feels like an S2 with bigger screen and slightly faster and most of those extra features have already been ported over to S2, but no one can deny this is the best phone right now but was just hoping for a bigger leap.
[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
I see where you're coming from - but other than initiating a purely marketing oriented 'megapixel war' It's kind of hard to see what more they could have done with the S3. Revolutionary/game changing devices like the S2 come out only once and the subsequent 'sequels' are evolutionary which build on it and make it better.

I mean, Quad-core/fastest performance on the market, huge 4.8" 720p screen, NFC, big battery, Wolfson DAC, LED light, enhanced USB OTG capability, fastest GPS+GLONASS lock - PLUS the software development of TW to make it the best and most unique android skin currently available - makes for a truly excellent upgrade to the S2 IMO.

What makes it so difficult to decide between SGS3 and OneX?

These 2 should be enough not to pick OneX:

- non replacebale battery

- no microSD slot
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
come on , we are not ios user , do provide more info
[Galaxy S III General] Pryltokig:
+ 1

No microSD slot is a BIG dealbreaker! Order than that, S3 has much better battery life, go for the S3 you won't be disappointed!
[Galaxy S III General] Jack Barrett:
Just ordered Galaxy S III. HTC One X is pure ****. Please don't make the same mistake.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Not that benchmarks mean much. Ninphetamine3 kernel at stock clocks.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Lol but nah it's not pure **** it's a very good phone when you don't have the major bugs like a lot of people had. My One X was pretty much bug free. Only had a couple of issues, screen was scratching too easily and there was minor stutter and lag and battery life kinda sucked. But S3 is so much better in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] on2a:
I know too many people who have purchased the One X before and after the release of the S3, declaring it was a great phone, only to return it a few weeks down the line and then purchase the S3. Too many people. If you are on this site you're probably someone who likes 1) a powerful phone that 2) can be tweaked and modified to your heart's content. The S3 wins on both accounts. By all means go ahead and buy the One X, but you'll probably find yourself returning it in the not too distant future.

On a side note, and in my opinion, the only area where the One X excels past the S3 is on the screen- its just a little sharper. However even this is not a given as the S3 screen has its own advantages (true blacks etc).

My advice, S3 all the way!
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
I remember running into a friend at the shops months ago. He had just bought the One X and he was holding it like a newborn baby. I had a bit of a play, and still owning the S2 I was quite impressed by the look and screen.

Anyway, I asked him why he didn't wait a bit longer for the S3 to be released and he said he had no idea it was coming out. His previous phones were an iphone 4 then he moved to an S2 until he bought the One X.

About a month later he called me and asked if I could sell his One X for him (I buy and sell phones). I asked him why he wanted to sell it. He just said that he didn't like it at all and he expected it to be like his previous iPhone and S2 and it wasn't. Not exactly sure of his exact grievances but he couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Says alot I think.
[Galaxy S III General] Crunozaur:
I went for SGS3 instead of HOX mainly because:

- no overheating issues

- better and removable battery

- slightly faster, not a big deal tho

HOX screen was really tempting, although SGS3's pentile screen is just perfect anyway.

I'd say that SGS3 is simply less problematic and is a safer bet.
[Galaxy S III General] pnda:
the one x has better display but s3 has sdcard and romoveable battery.
[Galaxy S III General] Robboftw:
As someone who owns both phones (first the One X, and the S3 replaced it), the S3 is unquestionably better.

The One X is a great phone by itself, but when you compare the two side by side and feature for feature, the S3 has it comfortably beaten on everything that isn't personal preference.
[Galaxy S III General] tarick09:
S3 is better than One X.

I owned the One XL, while it had an amazing screen, excellent build quality, i couldn't stand the lack of SD card slot and multitasking. MY One XL got filled up very easily by installing some high demanding games, music and other stuffs. I prefer the pebble blue SG3 than HTC One XL
[Galaxy S III General] El Brillantinas:
I'd wait for international version of Xperia GX.

Can I ask a really stupid question? Why does this thread keep growing and popping up on the home page when there's an existing thread with over 160 pages with a lot more detail and the exact same discussion? If everyone comparing the SGS3 to "X" started a "what should I do thread?" the home page would like worse than it already does.

[Galaxy S III General] Jack Barrett:
My reasons to get rid of HTC One X:

- Overheating when charging

- Overheating on simple tasks like Facebook

- Screen flickering (very annoying)

- Slow charge of battery (the 2.05 test base is really great for battery but no matter what firmware you use, it's very slow to charge)

- Easy scratching of the display

- Blacks of the display are more dark gray than black (I don't care SGS3 use PenTile, I love their displays)

- Beats Audio is total rubbish, and the audio chip is very rubbish too - very compressed sound when you play something on YouTube or the speaker at all

- Sense Launcher is so slow and makes the phone feels slow

- Camera is recording at 24 fps and makes the video laggy

- I don't like the white menus of stock rom (black menus of SGS3 are well designed and nice to have)

- Keyboard of HTC is not my style - too big and don't like the shapes of the buttons

- No MicroSD

- No removable battery

- Not enough development

- Slow text reflow bug in browser (no matter which browser you use)

- many many more (I can't remember everything).

Go for SGS3 and you will not regret.

[General Topics] Joshua3109:
Hey everyone, first off I want to apologize for creating a topic like this. I have been reading up on both phones through website, reviews and topics here on XDA. I just cant seem to make up my mind.

The one X has no removable battery when the battery is 1800Mah which is pathetic considering I am running a 1900Mah in my outdated HTC Sensation. This is a big downside to me; the S3 has a 2100Mah battery which is removable which is a big plus. I was looking at both battery life threads for the international versions and both seem good though. Could you guys possibly comment on this?

The cpu and gpu's of both phones are also interesting. The Exynos seems better then the Tegra 3 and coming from a S3 powered Sensation I do not want another laggy phone.. Please comment on this, possibly a link to another topic if it was made before.

Memory is not a big issue for me, 32gb is plenty.

I heard that the screen on the One X is better and easier on battery life, is this true?

Last thing is development; I love flashing new Roms and have been spoiled with the Sensations awesome developers. Does the international One X have the great support the Sensation has?

Thanks a ton guys!

[General Topics] muid02:
y will be the battery life be same. have you seen the battery stats thread. battery life is worse. thats the only thing that is holding me back to buy the 1x. tegra 3 consumes more battery than exynos. my friend is using 1x. he said that he can hardly use his phone because of this bad battery life. i am waiting for the OTA. hope it improves the battery life. if so then i will instantly buy the HOX

I just got the S III. I compared it to the One S (different than the One X I know) and was disappointed in the HTC. Not having a memoir card slot was a deal breaker.
[General Topics] PhilipL:
Hi

When using the phone the majority of power is used on the screen, so I can't see how any update can make the screen use less power unless it turns it down to such a low brightness it can hardly be seen, and you can do that yourself without waiting for new software. Waiting for an OTA that is suddenly going to make the battery last a lot longer is going to be a long wait. Yes it might get tweaked to give a few more minutes here or there, or contain fixed software bugs that was causing the phone to draw too much power in standby, but it can only do so much.

You can get attachable battery backs for the HTC One X now which will greatly extend the runtime, but it will make the phone physically larger.

If you can't live with the HTC One X battery runtime, stop contemplating it and get the S3. If there is something you don't like about the S3 which makes you favour the HTC One X, then sometimes you have to have accept one limitation over the over and just make a decision.

Regards

Phil
[General Topics] jsntrenkler:
I have had the S3 for a week and love the phone. However I am switching back to my international one x. The biggest reason for me is connectivity and I miss the screen on the one x. The screen on the S3 is nice, but when you put it side by side with the one x the one x just pops. Samsung incorporated a lot of very nice software customization however the one x feels a bit more refined. Both are dynamite phones, I do find that the one x drops calls much less than my S3 which has become very frustrating to me.
[General Topics] random_username_:
If you are looking for a phone that is completely lag free out of the box go for the s3.
[General Topics] hapticc:
IF YOU HANDLE PHONE ROUGHLY DON'T BUY S3 AT ALL IT BREAKS AT SLIGHTEST FALL

SCREEN HOX

BATTERY S3(20% MORE USAGE)

ROMS S3 BUT HOX IS NOT BEHIND BY MUCH

UPDATES TO LATEST ANDROID HOX LOVE HTC FOR FASTER UPGRADE

CAMERA BOTH ARE EQUAL IN IMAGE IN VIDEO S3 IS IMPRESSIVE

DISPLAY S3 IS NO WHERE NEAR ONE X DISPLAY.

NOW THATS A REVIEW FOR POWER USER FOR CAUSUAL USER BOTH PHONE STANDS EQUAL AT PERFORMANCE. S3 GETS TOO HOT WHILE HTC ONE X GETS HOT BUT IT COOLS DOWN QUICK. WITH NEW UPDATE HEATING WILL GET BETTER ON ONE X.

ONE X DESIGN OMG!!!!!!!!!! SIMPLY SUPERB. EVERYTHING IS TOO GOOD COMFORTABLE HOLD SLIM SEXY CURY BODY LIKE A HOT CURVY BABES. S3 BODY LOL 10 YEARS OLD GLOSSY SHINY SLIPPERY PLASTIC PRONE TO SCRATCHES. FLIMSY BACK PANEL. THE SPEAKER BESIDE CAMERA RUINS THE DESIGN ITS SO YUKKY FOR ME.

OVERALL BOTH PHONES WILL SATISFY YOU WITH PERFORMANCE WHAT YOU NEED IS UPTO YOU. IF DESIGN IS IMPORTANT GO FOR ONE X AND IF REMOVABLE BATTERY MICRO SD SLOT IS MORE IMP GO FOR S3(THOUGH U WILL GET A DAY USAGE ON ONE X TOO)

LAST POINT SENSE IS STILL THE KING OF ANDROID OS CUSTOMIZATION AND NOW I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT SENSE IF YOU LOVED SENSE ON SENSATION DONT BUY S3 U WILL BE UNABLE TO BEAR TOUCHWIZ UI
[General Topics] ShyamSasi:
Battery depends on how to use it. Since you're going to unlock the phone there are lot of stuff you can do to improve the battery life. I can easily get 3.5 to 4 hours of screen time and last more than a day. The standby time of One X is great.

Now we have achieved GPU overclock so gaming performance will improve much more than before. I'm a minimalistic lover so lesser widgets and apps never had any lags. When comparing with the leaked firmware the UI is butter smooth and we have a lot of tweaks to make it even better.

Memory is not a big issue for me, 32gb is plenty.

It again depends on how you use it. We have tweaked the auto brightness values to even lesser to improve the battery so Yes it's better.

[/QUOTE]Last thing is development; I love flashing new Roms and have been spoiled with the Sensations awesome developers. Does the international One X have the great support the Sensation has?

Thanks a ton guys![/QUOTE]

We are atleast 7 to 8 custom ROM's, 3 different variants of CM9 and AOKP, then MIUI as already have a early port of JB. So I can proudly we have best set of developers here :good:

Dude what's up with the caps ... Caps mean your yelling at the OP
[General Topics] death__machine:
Edit: multi quote didn't work out that well.

Good points made, I'd like to add that battery life of both phones is nearly the same, sIII has an edge by a margin. Danes goes for benchmarks.

I was chatting with this friend of mine who just got an SIII, he was whining about the battery life after having his brightness at lowest and sync off.

Developer support is great like ShyamSasi mentioned.

Choose after keeping in mind what's more important to you

1)Design

2)removable battery

3)expandable memory

4)sense vs touchwiz

5)tegra powered games

6)amoled vs slcd2?

What's with the caps lock?

Body like hot curvy babes xD lol!

Go into a store with both the S3 and the one x and try them. I prefer the one x personally because it looks nicer, the screen is far better and in my opinion htc sense > touchwiz. But you might think differently so id recommend trying them out.
[General Topics] rajitsingh:
Got to play with a white GSIII alongside a white HOX yesterday (mine is grey).

Here are my two cents:

Looks

Visually, there's just no comparison between the two. On comparing the two devices side by side, HOX smokes SIII. Even all my friends who were with me thought the same. HOX looks infinitely better than GSIII.

Performance and Processors

Performance wise, the Exynos on the GSIII is a tad faster than the Tegra3 on the HOX, but honestly with such a high processing power, the differences in performance will be negligible, if at all visible.

One thing worth considering here is that with Tegra3, you get the advantage of a lot of great games that are optimized for it and offer a much better visual experience than on other processors.

Display

Now the display. Both are very high resolution, but the one on the SIII is a pentile one and is AMOLED. Now I know that the ppi on both are extremely high, but to the eyes of a discerning user, the difference in sharpness is visible. The display on the HOX looks sharper.

Some people prefer amoled, others prefer LCD. Personally, I find the colors to be a little too "punchy" on AMOLEDs. But you may have a different preference. Try playing with it before making a decision.

Now to the most important part and the reason most of us are here:

Custom ROMs

S-OFF hasn't yet been achieved by the HOX community, and that makes flashing custom ROMs a tad more tedious. Flashing custom ROMs on SAMMY devices is generally more hassle free.

Quality wise, the HOX community has some truly amazing devs and the ROM scene is very exciting.

User Experience

In the end, both of these are amazing devices. Play with both of them and decide which one you like better. TouchWiz vs. Sense is another very subjective topic and you'll have to judge on your own. But if you're planning on running AOSP, they don't really make a difference.

Camera

Haven't tested the camera on the GSIII, but I'm sure it's amazing. But so is the one on HOX. I think you could pick either one of them without really looking into this. If you're looking for serious photography however, I'd suggest you look for a good DSLR instead.
[General Topics] Joshua3109:
Guys thanks so much for the awesome replies! No S-off, oh no I don't like that; the S3 has S-off I'm assuming?

I think I am leaning towards the S3 though; the removable battery is making the difference for me. :) Also, coming from a laggy Sensation I want all the processing power I can get to avoid any lag in the future; I hate lag! :mad:
[General Topics] joebarkho:
Both phones have a quad core processors. Idk why anyone even says theres possible lag on quad core phones. The Samsung has an amoled screen which means any white pictures or anything white that pops up drains battery amazingly faster. Sense 4 is rock solid and just flows good. Touchwiz is all over the place with cool features that you'll probably forget you have eventually. I feel like the gs3 to the gs2 is like the iphone4s to the 4. Its just a better looking gs2 with more **** on there., but unorganized. The galaxy s 4 will definitely be amazing because Samsung vowed to work on their software more than anything.

Battery wise, the gs3 seems like it takes up more resources than the one x because the u.s version has an extra gig of ram. My friends gs3 from att has **** battery life compared to my one x variant.

HTC is also obviously the underdog in phone sales so it would make sense that they would put more effort in building a high quality phone, which they clearly did. Samsung knows there on top so they overly marketed their phone everywhere and now its really popular, still top notch, but it was released before it was perfected.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGalaxy:
Hi everyone,

This is more of a question for people who have played around with other ROMs, aswell as had the chance to have a play with Samsungs official STOCK rom with the NEW firmwire...

Doubt its very many because it would involve a FULL WIPE.

My question is this...

Ive used Omega ROM for a few weeks, was good, then changed to CheckROM Evo v2 (because checkrom was AMAZING on my SG2).

CheckROM then brought out v3.5 of their ROM, "no wipe", so i updated without wipe, now some of my apps/games don't work.

I won't ask questions about that because the obvious answer would be to do a FULL WIPE and it should work. But i dont want to keep doing this whenever a NEW version of a particular ROM comes out....its a pain!

Yeah, sure, i could just stick to one rom and be happy, but i can't when i know theres a newer/better one out there! LoL!

So, getting back to my question...

I've obviously seen that Samsung has updated their Firmware and heard nothing but good reviews about it; no more lags on homescreen etc..

Would anyone suggest (and why) just flashing back to the Stock ROM rather than hae a custom ROM installed???

Thanks for anyone would read all that without getting bored and is willing to respond! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
U are already on latest firmware LFB. LG1 is the same just for Asian, LFB is European.

even though a rom is no wipe it's always best to wipe anyway,to get a clean install.

use "titanium backup" to. Backup all your user apps and settings.

Don't restore system apps,it's never a good idea
