Then head to htc one x. Sorry if I'm repeating questions. And thanks

[HTC One X] shadehh:
I chose the one x. Now I'm going to try to be as unbiased as possible and givyou my thoughts. Having used both devices.

One X pros:

-Excellent stand by time

-Sense in my opinion is pretty

-after having used this display I must say the amoled screen feels kind of dim

stock browser reflow is awesome

Cons:

stock may be pretty but that comes with a price: lagg on a quad :)

Stock browser could use some improvement(apart from reflow)

Stupid warranty voiding by unlocking boot loader

I feel like the screen gets scratched easily. I have scratches popping out of nowhere despite using a sock. This is the most disappointing to me.(I read it is the oleophobic coating being scratched, nevertheless, utter bull crap, I would suggest you really invest in a screen protector. This is my first HTC phone and I must say I am not really satisfied , I'm saying this cause when I bought the quad i had the mindset: "Cool, won't have to flash custom roms cause this baby will definitely destroy everything." In fact, it was the compete opposite, after a month of use i decided to slap a rom onto it. That's when you really notice: "god is sense one piece of laggy ****"

Sgs3:

UI looks like crap but at least it is not laggy or a lot less laggy ( A LOT).

appearence is not as pretty as the one x but at least the battery life is better.

Probably more development if you decide to root thus having more ROMs and maybe even better ones.

Ics 4.0.4 out of the box. As I said, this is my first HTC phone and despite many saying HTC is good when it comes to updates I have yet to see that.

It seems like I may have a grudge at htc , but I still don't regret buying it despite this ****ty device I own , that even comes with wlan issue feature. You have to manually apply pressure to the back of the phone somewhere near the camera. Making browsing while trying to stabilize the wlan for faster internet speed a GREAT experience.

They should really be thankful their screen is top notch, this is the main thing that has got me sold.

Just my thoughts. Hardware wise I would say both are quite similar. What one company decides to make out of a powerhouse is another story
[HTC One X] libiao0928:
I dont like the screen made by samsung, the amoled. So i choosed HOX.:D
[HTC One X] skywalker1970:
Owning both, I am using hox as my daily driver.

Hox, only con is battery life. As far as external sd is concerned, i have most of my pics (9,000) odd on picasa and drop box. Only thing i have placed on the inbuilt memory is music and some picture albums.

Pros: the mail program which is light years ahead of anything on android.

Social integration of contacts.

The drop dead gorgeous screen.

Radio and signal strength is infinitely superior to sgs3.

I just like the way sense integrates everything.

Sgs3 really nice phone but the screen is just painful. Hate the inbuilt email program, dialer and contact management. Touchwiz is too cartoon like. You really need to flash a custom rom to make use of the sgs3.

If mails, contact integration/management and better out of the box experience is what you want, then go for hox. If you like flashing a bunch of custom roms go for sgs3.

Lastly, I use android, bb, and an ipad since years and the max use on a daily basis is of my hox. That should give an indication of how good this phone and sense is. The mail program of sense blows even the bb one out out of the water.

Just my two cents.
[HTC One X] RazerRazer04:
The HOX screen is clearly the best screen available, so if you use your often for multimedia definetly the HOX.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I sold my i9100 before the SGS3 came out so I'd get more for it. I bought the One X always intending to get the i9300 when it was released. I ended up keeping the One X. Here's why...

[HTC One X] leoni1980:
The One X screen is better IMO. I think signal strenght is better too, however I never had any issues with either so it's not really a problem. I have the latest stock firmware on my HOX and battery life is terrible though. That's one thing that appeals more about the S3: not only is the battery replaceable but it's also SO much better. I could easy get 30% more use out of the S3. The fact that the battery is very much NOT user replaceable even as much as the one on the iPhone 4 is is somewhat depressing. It's VERY much embedded.

And that, for me is the killer for the HOX.

On top of that, even if you don't think that Touchwiz is very good, it takes a matter of minutes to root or flash a custom ROM to Samsung devices, and the modding scene has much more life.

So if you don't care that much about battery life and never feel the need to root then the HOX is still a pretty nice phone and I personally love the feel of it but a few design decisions have spoilt it a little.

Oh....and the camera is better on the S3 to my mind, even if the Samsung device doesn't have as wide an aperture. The S3 seems to deal with extremities of dark and light better, and there is less blurring in close-up detail.

Just my thoughts as the owner of both devices.
[HTC One X] muid02:
each and evryone complain about this ****ty battery life. why doesnt HTC do anything about it i dont get it. how bad is the battery? i will be buying the HOX next week. now i am afraid. cant buy the s3 because its more expensive. its almost $240 more then the price of HOX. so there are no substitutes. what should i do? i need 13hrs of battery life with at least 3.5hrs screen on.
[HTC One X] kelvintisw:
I'm using HOX for 4 months.

I'm playing my little bro's SGS3 for 1 month.

Go for SGS3.....:good:
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's really not that bad. I'm getting about the same battery life I did on my i9100 using the phones the same way. A lot of it is psychological. I had spare batteries for the i9100 (that I used maybe twice in eleven months) so when it was getting near empty I didn't freak out. With the One X when you're done, you're done. I bought a couple of CR-S650 docks so the phones always charging when I'm not using it and I have a high-output auxiliary battery that I originally bought for my tablet. If you top up during the day you should be fine. 3.5 hours of screen-on time over 13 hours is kind of pushing it. The 2.X update that's pending improves battery life and should help you reach your goal. It's too early to say for sure though. If it’s something that you’ll end up obsessing about avoid the grief and save the additional money to get an SGS3. It’s a great phone too and probably a better choice for those that need flexibility with their batteries.

[HTC One X] exynoss:
Pls do not go for ****sung :p. Samsung always forget their customers after sold. Koreans are so smart in marketing :p sgs3 designed for humans with less brain. Samsung always use crap plastic and cheap materials in their phones.

I am going to upgrade to HTC one x from gs2.
[HTC One X] Stokie2012:
Having owned first the One X then the S3, its S3 all the way for me.

The screen on the HOX is the only thing that rates better in my opinion. I would have included the UI, but as i used nova on both the HOX and the S3, the UI doesn't matter to me.

Build quality is pretty much on a par, when the phone is in your hand, design is subjective, but i have the Pebble Blue S3, and it looks really really good in my opinion, but my gf has the white s3, which i think looks really cheap and horrible.

Samsung has gotten the basics right, where HTC has not:

Battery - same brightness, HOX - 15 hours off charge, and 2hrs 45 min screen time would have me about 2%, S3 - my record is 1day 10 hours, with 4 hours, 48 mins screen before i hit 4%. Replaceable if thats still not enough juice.

Memory card.

Easy ROM customisation.

No real build issues in comparison to those reported in early HOX days.

And as for in hand performance, the HOX is a fast phone, the S3 is faster, and for me, noticeably so. its slick and fast, with no lag, and everything happens as soon as it should.

My first Samsung Android, and my first Samsung since the D500 slider about 12 years ago, but its a great phone. And having owned the 4 main competitors (Bold 9900, iPhone 4s, HOX and S3) in the last year, its the best phone on the market, and thats left me gutted, as i have only ever had HTC Androids, and was so excited when the HOX was announced and then released, but its just a step or two behind i'm afraid.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
LMAO!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
glad your enjoying urself :)

now go back to ur s3
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
Define same brightness please..I would really like to hear about same brightness setting u did..

N roms n support!! ..tegra 3 is being sported in so many devices now including Nexus 7 n many more to come..n exynos is In s3 only..

So support n apps including games is gonna be much better on tegra 3 soc..n we have official PlayStation certification here ..

N pentile screen ..omg..

Looks !!!!.. s3 is officially the ugliest phone ever designed by mankind..n this fact is supported by Android Police ,Engadget,etc..

N PEBBLE BLUE color !!!!!!!!..please don't get me started on that..

mate i think i reached the realization of yoga masters on this

just ignore the noise and enjoy the "knowledge" you have :D
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
There are many reasons why I picked the S3 over the HOX, this is one of them

Battery life is incredible on this phone, the HOX doesn't compare people that say it does have no clue. I had the HOX for a little more than two weeks and I honestly loved it, the screen is better than the S3 screen ( mainly cause of its excellent outdoor visibility) I love the design of the HOX and sense looks great. But the S3 is a pure BEAST. It actually looks very nice, It runs smooth as butter especially now that I'm using checkrom. I've owned all the best phones for the past year, none of them compare to the smoothness and speed of the S3 ( had the nexus, note, HOX, sgs2). The phone doesn't get warm at all for me. But I'm not taking anything away from the HOX nor the other phones that I mentioned. It's an excellent phone. But battery life was bad for me and there was noticeable lag in the UI even with ultra smooth Rosie. HtC is doing great though, they did a much better job than last year with that piece of sh*t sensation. Next year hopefully they will be more generous with the battery size and do a better job with optimization.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Wow dude you really hate the sgs3.... why?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
performance is moot if you optimize your HOX with unlock or switch to CM10

ultra smooth fixed it all with the stock 2.05 leaked base + its kernel and CM10 is working the exact same as the N7 in terms of project butter

and our gaming is flaying on CM10 or our optimization for sense

so this makes you entire conclusion is battery based versus taste, refinement, the joy of good build material and some common sense

enjoy your beast mate just word of advice don't drop or hit the thing, the coating is a peal lover
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
It is really simple if you don't care for expandable storage and a removable battery then highly consider the HOX.

I've had both, and like many others I kept the one x.

Personally why?

- Better screen, why is it better, it's full rgb, so none of that pentile crap, it's outdoor visibility is better, whites are whiter, colours are closer to natural source, text is sharper, however the Samsung has deeper blacks and more contrast.

- Sense, touchwiz is good it has excellent codec support and useful features but I prefer Sense as it has the better camera software and much better social network integration. It has superior contact management and a good email client which I use for exchange. Touchwiz is well optimised, however Sense isn't and it's a memory hog and at times you get micro lags.

- The camera, lower aperture and I think it takes better pictures compared to the Samsung. However the Samsung takes better video more higher frames. But it lacks in its audio whereby the HTC had better audio recording. So bit of a 50/50.

- Build and looks, subjective, I personally prefer the matte finish and looks and like that the sensors are hidden in its flush body.

I can carry on but you get my flow.

Technically both phones are great and you'd be happy with either.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
I love my SGS3, best phone I have ever owned. :D
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
I am not a hater man..it's just what Samsung is doing to people n still people aren't aware..

I had the Galaxy Note n trust me on this, the screen sucked big time..black clipping n color banding..n Samsung just ignored all the complaints..

Galaxy s3 is all cheap plastic..the cheap pentile screen ..homemade exynos processor ...n still Samsung is selling it for over $700...n people r buying it !!!!!!!..

they advertise NFC , a video player app, a copied HOX camera feature n a useless app to turn off the screen that uses more battery rather thaan saving it .. n people r buying it !!!!!!!..

Wake up people...

So this calls for a quote :

" No matter how hard the Galaxy S3 tries, it isn't even greater than One X's parts "

Don't worry guys, the fact that you never even consider the iphone, you're already better with either S3 or OneX. :D

[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Why you're trying so hard to bash the S3 and samsung? I had the note and I thought the screen was fantastic but that's just me. Galaxy s 3 is using the same plastic that's used in the HOX, just with a different finish. The pentile isn't noticeable to me and the exynos processor is known to be one of the strongest. And you wanna make it sound like a con cause it's homemade? Come on now. Your saying that there's an app that uses more battery that they're saying and yet the battery life on the S3 runs circles around the one x battery life. Now, can you give me 5 points where the HOX is clearly better than the S3 ( without being a fan boy of course)?
[HTC One X] muid02:
so one x's battery is worse? its not near to even galaxy nexus's right. i so wish it will last me 13hrs. i hate htc. i cant buy s3 and dnt want to. only if there was a substitute. i am upset now. confused about buying the hox now
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
See battery stats thread there are many people who have more than 5hours on screen time.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
I'd like to see that
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
Omg omg..pentile is good..

Please man accept it..here are your points:

1. Screen : pentile vs RGB IPS.. no comparison.. HOX has the best screen on the planet..

2. Processor: Tegra 3 has way better support coz of presence on so many devices..Microsoft surface is also coming out with Tegra 3 so we might even be able to port even Windows 8 on HOX..

3. Looks: HOX is the most gorgeous phone ever designed by man..n s3 the ugliest..name a phone that's better looking than HOX..

4. Camera: HOX wins hands down..as a separate chip for camera..n f 2.0 for low light awesomeness..

5. Build quality: HOX is officially the most touchable phone..n s3 :what:

6. After sales service: HTC wins hands down..Sammy's service sucks..

7. Updates: HTC is known for timely n early updates.

8. Bragging rights: WITH GREAT LOOKS, SCREEN , POWER , CAMERA, BUILD QUALITY comes the bragging rights..n we do have them my friend :beer::beer:

[HTC One X] Goku80:
Have we not gone through this already like few months ago. Come on now guys. Both phones are great. All down to personal preference.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
The display on the SGS3 is dim. At max brightness it's less than half of the One X's. Through reflectivity they've been able to make it appear brighter than it is. The default auto-brightness is very low. When looking at screen-on battery life results you really need to factor in what level of brightness the SGS3 was set to. The SGS3 screen-on battery life is also greatly affected by the content displayed. Whites like reading and web browsing make it perform worse than LCD. With dark colors like the UI and video it performs better.

Here's GSMArena's comparison. What's actually interesting is that if you adjust for the differences in battery size the One X actually is more efficient than the SGS3 in all but video playback where AMOLED benefits. It's all irrelevant at the end of the day if you need more battery life than the One X can provide.

Here's a report on the SGS3's display by an organization specializing in measuring display performance.

[HTC One X] shadehh:
Well great.. Samsung galaxy s 3 users don't need to only use text message to cross the 5 hours mark. They get to surf the Net' write SMS and probably play for 20 to 30 minutes and still achieve 5 hours.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
WHAT??!!!??? LMAO.

1. Screen, I'll give it to you although some would argue this.

2. Processor..... you need to be ashamed of yourself for proudly lying

3. Looks, what part of "clearly" better didn't you understand? Looks is subjective and a matter of opinion.

4.camera, see here you go lying again, the S3 takes better photos except in low light. S3 takes better 1080p vids.

5.you're ridiculous

6.I saw so many complaints about bad HTC service, phones going for repair for 2 months...

7.updates.... the s2 got update to ics before the sensation.....

8.you're a fanboy
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
^^^^^

This.

Look at it this way. Comparing the Sensation to the i9100 buying the i9100 was pretty much a no brainer. The fact that the One X holds up so well when compared to the SGS3 really shows how far HTC's come. The two inarguable deal breakers are lack of expandable storage and the fixed 1800mAh battery. If people need expandable memory and replaceable batteries the One X is a non-starter. Outside of that everything else really is subjective and varies based on how people individually use their phones.

This thread's not going to end any differently than other comparison threads. People who feel one way or the other are pretty fixed in their opinions. If it keeps going this way the only thing that'll happen is this thread will get locked like all those before it.

You know what annoys me more than my WiFi issue on this phone? It's the dunce up there talking about how great his sgs3 in a freaking HTC one x forum. Jesus did he seriously come to the one x thread to start a debate on how inferior his mega device is and expect everyone to be like: "yeah you are right! My device sucks and everything is worse than touchwiz".. and sgs 3 wins cause he owned the sgs 1,2 & 3. Jeeeez

I bet a billion dollars if the Sgs 3 had tegra 3 and one x had exynos that the only difference would be battery life and that the one x would still lag in stock sense. What I'm saying is it is all marketing. **** me

[HTC One X] godutch:
Off course no one likes to admit they made the wrong choice but I knew when I bought the one x that Samsung would bring out a more powerful phone (I actually expected the SGS3 to blow away the HOX in synthetic benchmarks but the HOX even in those holds up quite nicely). But I like sense and I don't think touchwiz can come close anytime soon.

Thanks for understanding that. No I have not forgotten you saying positives things about the S3. But I'm speaking from experience when I say that HOX users are defending their purchases more than S3 users. You and I have been through these type of threads for a while, and I feel like HOX users are more sensitive than S3 users. There's definitely fanboyism on both sides but if you don't believe me just read a couple of pages back in this thread and tell me if some of those posts make any sense to you.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
you don't see my point cause you don't understand what I'm saying. Is a phone automatically bad to you cause it has pentile? Maybe to you yes. But to the millions of people out there who own the Note, the galaxy nexus, the S3 or any other phone using pentile technology no, not necessary. I don't call a phone bad cause it's rocking pentile, That's the point I was trying to make.
