[HTC One X] Product F(RED):
You need to learn to read. It was found that the guy's friend dropped his phone in water and then stupidly tried to dry it using a microwave. The owner had no idea, and when he started charging it in his car, the bottom end caught fire. Pretty sure if you did the same with a One X, it would catch fire too. Except HTC wouldn't replace your phone because you gave up your warranty when you decided to root your phone.

The One X is a better-looking phone, sure. But does that equate to a better phone overall? No. You have no expandable storage. No removable battery. And, as I stated above, you need to give up your warranty to be able to root your phone. And even then, you don't have access to all of the partitions. This may not be an issue for some people, but do your research before you start spouting bs like, "oh the screen is worse, oh it's uglier there for it sucks." Seriously, what are you 12 years old? I used to love HTC despite the fact that Samsung's phones, while plastic as hell, are beasts performance-wise. But when HTC started with that HTCDev garbage and bootloader encryption, I refused to buy any more of their products. As a matter of fact, that's the ONLY reason I turned down the One X for the S3. It's your phone, you should be able to do what you want with it. And I'm not being a tech hippy when I say that; I did not buy the One X because HTC makes it difficult to do something that should be easy. You should not have to sign your soul away to get half a haircut. You should not have to sign your warranty away to get half a bootloader unlock.

It was a hoax. Here's how it ended.

http://www.itproportal.com/2012/07/...des-melts-case-forcing-company-investigation/

None of us who own a One X can be considered unbiased (including me). Same thing for an SGS3 owner. The moment someone picked one over the other bias was introduced. I try to be objective and I think a lot of other people do to. But so much discussion in any comparison is subjective. Rather than give my opinion of the SGS3's display, I offer this. It was written by DisplayMate. Here's their bio. I think we can all agree they have no dog in the hunt and that the opinion they are offering is objective.

DisplayMate is an industry standard for optimizing, calibrating, testing, evaluating and comparing all types of displays, monitors, projectors, mobile displays, HDTVs, and all display technologies, such as LCD, OLED, 3D, LED, LCoS, Plasma, DLP and CRT. DisplayMate is used by hundreds of publications for editorial testing and lab reviews. DisplayMate is used by every major manufacturer in their research labs, by hundreds of test labs and service facilities, by thousands of technicians, and by over 100,000 consumers and end users. Via DisplayMate's Consulting Services we assist many of the world's leading manufacturers in developing and producing the best displays and display technologies

Here's their review of the SGS3's display. Draw your own conclusions.

But the screen sucks..sold off my Galaxy Note due to the pentile garbage.. n looks sucks too.

N who knows the real story. Samsung is really good in covering up ..maybe they cooked up one to clear their name. .I wrote to all big review sites n all about the awful screen but they never published it. All of them are o Sammy's payroll..

N I have been rooting my phones for a long time. .never had to claim warranty .

These things are for the people who know their ****. .for those who don't know stuff coz they are gonna mess up n will have to go crying to Samsung for warranty.

Oh I don't need to read a review. I used that crap display for 3 months on my Galaxy note. .sold it off due to that screen. .u can't even watch a movie without the night n dark scenes being messed up by that...serious black clipping..

As for the other scenes color banding takes care of them pretty well:p

You can stop trying to prove to everyone that your One X is the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not saying that my Galaxy S III is any better or worse (because my needs are different than yours), but seriously, you're trying to hard. Nobody published your article because you're wearing a tinfoil hat; no tech site is going to go head to head with a corporation on a statement that cannot be proven. But think about it: If there was an actual issue with the phone itself, Samsung would have recalled the phone immediately to prevent lawsuits. No one is on Samsung's payroll except for their employees.

And there are things that can go wrong that are beyond your control, like losing your IMEI. On Samsung phones, we have an /EFS partition (shows up as a folder inside of Android). We can back it up and restore it if something goes wrong; it stores our IMEI, serial number, and other information. Flashing anything can cause it to be wiped or corrupted, although it's not something that would happen frequently. On HTC phones, not only do you not have an /EFS partition, the information responsible for registering your phone onto the network is stored in the radio, which you don't have access to even if you're bootloader-unlocked because HTC only gives you a partial bootloader unlock. So what happens? Well, if you re-lock your bootloader and try to send your phone to HTC, they'll see your hboot says **RELOCKED** and charge you at least $200 to replace the motherboard.

Believe me, I'm not just talking out of my ass. I know this stuff like the back of my hand. Unlike you, I'm not all about looks and display and aesthetics. If you don't care about any of this, you should just go buy an iPhone. Oh, and for the record, the pentile on the S3 is minimal. I agree the One X has a better screen (except for blacks), but you really can't see the pixels on the S3 unless you put your eyeball to the screen. So quit whining about it.
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
Go to Galaxy Note thread. .Samsung even refunded the whole amount over the black clipping n color banding. .so they know their crap..they just try to cover it up...

N who said u will see pixels in the movies..

I said black clipping n color banding...I hope u know what they mean. N they will always be there on pentile displays...

Barry, do you see how much intensity there is every time there's an S3/ one x comparison? Well that thread was one of the first one if not the first thread comparison between both phones. Of COURSE It was a little ugly, but you make it sound like it was all S3 users.... No there were many one x users including me at the time. Mods didn't clean it cause S3 users were too much, it's cause everyone was too much. Providing a link to that thread didn't prove anything really, it was opened on the S3 forum cause it came out after the HOX and its it's closest competitor, at least on the android side.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I'm not calling you out; you seem refreshingly rationale. But there's been a handful of lost IMEI's here and there's a 105 page discussion on it over on the SGS3 forum. Do they not know what you know?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753833
[HTC One X] Product F(RED):
I know what the issue is. Your reply to me never included it; you were talking about the phone catching fire and exploding. Samsung refunded the whole amount over a manufacturing defect. Where's the problem with that? You got yourself a free phone. What about HTC with the One X wifi antenna issue? If you rooted your phone, they would charge your hundreds of dollars for the repair or deny you a repair altogether. Why? It's their fault, isn't it? But they won't fix it for you because you decided to use your phone the way you want.

I'm holding my Galaxy S III in my hand. Before this I had a Galaxy Nexus. Before that, I had a Galaxy S II. None of them had the screen issue you're talking about. I've seen it and I know exactly what it is, and I haven't had it.

Again, I am not attacking the One X. I would have bought it over the S3 had it not been for the bootloader locking (and if I didn't know about the Wifi antenna issue). I'm defending the S3 from this clueless guy.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
LakshayX is very passionate in his views. There are always going to be people equally passionate regardless of the forum. Let's call it a draw. ;) I will give you this, the SGS3 forum is a lot more focused on the majority of parts of the phone that do work vs. the minority that don’t. That I miss.
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
There is no manufacturing defect ..its an issue with the matrix itself...

Supercurio tried to fix it but couldnt coz as I said its a problem with the matrix itself..

N there are separate n numerous threads on this issue in Galaxy Note forum..

Just like there are threads of "pink tint and ink spots ” in Galaxy S3 forum.. :p

It's very much real. In fact supercurio either has or is working on a fix for it.

Even though I disagree for time to time with you I have to applaud your diplomacy and your choice of words, excellent! I would have called him something else other than "passionate" but again he is proving my point. Let's just say that HOX users are more "passionate" than S3 users :)

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I agree that it's an arbitrary policy and very anti-dev. But it's no different than Asus and Motorola's new policy starting with the Photon Q. With the precedent being set Samsung would be stupid not to follow and avail themselves of the same warranty cost savings as their competitors. In fact, in bowing to Verizon, the first domino has already fallen.

I give you and others that are boycotting HTC because of their bootloader policy a ton of credit. The best way to show a manufacturer you disagree with their business practices is to avoid them and give your money to someone who you align with. I wish more people would do that and think about the consequences before hitting "agree" on HTCdev.
[HTC One X] Product F(RED):
Oh you mean like the:

- One X Antenna hardware issue

- Magically-shattering One X screen

- One X screen banding issue

Again, I have no problems with my S3, and you may not have these issues with your One X, but the fact that you're bringing them up as somehow exclusive to one phone that you don't like is stupid. And to everyone above, I'm not making up that I haven't had screen issues on any Galaxy phone I've owned just because these issues exist. You can call me lucky or whatever, but I've never had them.

I appreciate your second paragraph. I'm actually part of their "Elevate" community and regularly post about unlocking the bootloader. But I can't get too much into that because of a sort of NDA. Let's just say it's like talking to a wall. In regards to the first paragraph, Samsung would be stupid to bow to pressure. In fact, they're not being pressured. While they partially locked the bootloader on the S3 for Verizon, they offered a developer edition that costs less than Verizon's stock S3 at retail vs retail price. It's $50 less. This is actual useful to people on unlimited data who need to pay retail prices in order to keep their unlimited data. On top of that, with the way CDMA works, Verizon would have had to approve the developer edition in order for it to even be allowed to connect to their network, so Samsung still had leverage and used this as a condition to selling a bootloader-locked S3 for Verizon. Motorola is still Motorola; they're known to make empty promises so no one expected anything from them. ASUS, as far as I know, is still being more dev-friendly than HTC. While they're not as active with PR and marketing, they seem to provide a full unlock in one form or another. HTC did a total 180; I used to LOVE their phones so much, above any other manufacturer. They were, at least aesthetically, the Apple of Android. But then they turned into the actual Apple of Android on the software level and I refused to buy any more of their products after the Evo 3D.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
I do understand you a little. Back in 2010 when I had my Samsung vibrant ( Tmobile USA version of the galaxy s 1) I was so upset at Samsung because it took forever to update to FroYo. They had promised it by the end of 2010 and it never came, everybody here was upset and I swore to never buy a Samsung product again. Then they released the S2..... game over. Since then I've been a Samsung user. But I love tech in general and I like to have the latest and greatest. The brand matters but I'm not close minded, as long as I like it I'll use it HTC, Samsung, whatever.
[HTC One X] Product F(RED):
Totally agree with you; even though I didn't own the first generation of Galaxy devices (I was an HTC guy) and even though they had amazing hardware for the time (seriously, the Hummingbird CPU was amazing) their software sucked. I still think Sense looks better than Touchwiz, even though Touchwiz 4.0 is not heavy at all and is smoother. But in terms of updates, Samsung SUCKED. Now? They're on par if not faster than HTC. They were testing the waters with the Galaxy S, and the Galaxy S II was a HUGE improvement. The S3 isn't a huge leap from the S II; I'd still tell people on a budget to buy an S II over the S3. But it's still a leap.
[HTC One X] LakshayX:
Alright guys all hail Galaxy S3...but I gotta get out n going..not gonna waste a Saturday sitting

You see this? This was unnecessary. You don't need to taunt people who don't share the same views as you. That and your signature make you sound ignorant. You named one good reason for not liking AMOLED screens, and the rest was "oh it's ugly." I cannot stand people like you because you think you sound smart talking like that but all you're really doing is making an ass of yourself by insulting people who don't share the same views as you.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Yep. I also was a big HTC fan but they released the sensation and it is, to this date, the worst phone I have ever owned considering the expectations that I had for it. I remember when it was rumored to be called the " pyramid" I was so excited for it but it was an epic fail, to me at least. But HTC has won me over again with the HOX. Honestly, it's design is to die for and its screen is second to none, in my opinion of course. Sense looks better than touchwiz no question but touchwiz "works" better. Next year, all HTC needs to do is slap in a big ass battery and improve their optimization and with the help of jellybean and the next Android OS, they gonna do some serious damage, even the iPhone should look out.,( in terms of popularity, sales ect....) :D
[HTC One X] Hiker42:
The One X also loses for video recording. And the way they've implemented the camera in such a way it sticks out too far and has a PLASTIC lens cover.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what the hell r u talking about, people who open these comparison threads in our forum r always sgs3 owners or fans this is why!

and u taunt people attacking s3 just the same, given ur replies to my posts, don't act as if ur so polite unless u want me to quote all ur responses, please try to remember n save me the bother

thx to all u, I can predict the next HTC flagship will be made from coated cheap plastic with pentile too

since this is the standards if the majority of android buyers, why should they even bother
[HTC One X] Cozer:
Totally agree !!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Baron does have a high opinion about his S3 that is for sure. i had a few discussions with him regarding the comparison between the two phones and he is ultra defensive about his S3 just like you are hamdir about the One X. but in all fairness to baron he has used the One X and has good stuff to say about it as given just a few posts above.

so although you think he might bashes the One X with his ultra defensive style of his S3 he does like the One X to...But as i would advise someone not to get into a discussion with you about the One X i would say the same thing about you and just ignore him regarding the S3 cause you two are just so similar there is no point talking to the two of you regarding the handsets you like:D

At the end of the day no phone is perfect. Technology evolves rapidly, style takes over substance, etc etc. There is no point getting into arguments over my phone is better than your phone, it's like my #### is bigger than your #### but that's not useful if you don't know how to pleasure a girl properly.

It's how you use your device and what matters to you personally which is important. We've all got our own reasons why we chose one over the other. Both have flaws, neither are prefect, but most owners of either are happy with their devices.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I dislike it when people bash either without having even seen them in person or tested them. I like many others in here have tested both and put both of them against each other and made my mind up as simple as that.

Enjoy your devices guys, I don't care what anyone says but both are very good phones despite the differences.

This reminds me of the sort of crap that flooded the internet when instant messaging first became popular... Aren't we over this sort of thing yet?

Bear bait: the reason you don't see 'these sorts of threads' in the s3 section is because s3 users aren't as hyper-critical as one x users; if they were, they would have bought the one x because it's clearly the enthusiast's choice ;)

Seriously though, what are the s3 users doing on this One X forum if they are better than that. I think the one x is better and that's why I bought it. I don't care what car you drive - as long as mine is better :D

["Republic of China" redirects here. It is not to be confused with People's Republic of China.] << on Wikipedia, where I'm sure he got his information.

The point is both countries claim sovereignty over both countries. However that doesn't make them one country, as they have different governing bodies (Taiwan has a democracy, while China is governed by a communist party), different flags, different currency etc etc

trying to cover up your ignorance of the fact, after glancing at Wikipedia for longer than 2 seconds... Well, just because the minimum wage is low does NOT mean that it is third-world, in fact, some countries have NO minimum wage, yet are not considered third-world. In fact minimum wage there is about $595 USD a month.

Very third world, having the second tallest building in the world.
