You notice no difference among the intl version and the usa version. The intl version is better for gaming and thats it. The built quality of the usa version is better. The built quality of the intl version made for african countries sucks. Dev sections do not even compare. Another plus on the usa versions side is the one year warranty with sammy usa while if you get the intl version there is no sammy warranty. The intl version has memory management problems though. You get only 668 usable ram. Thats why i prefer the hox cuz it got 770 usable ram.

I think we have a pretty damn good CM10 developer already :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I didn't say we didn't. I'm saying if you're getting an SGS III the father of Cyanogenmod is on the US version.

H8rift and Rohan are doing a great job, no doubt.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
Oh, I know. I just had to say it anyway :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I hope our unofficial build gets official soon and h8 gets to recognized as the official maintainer.

Stupid HTC and their damned camera drivers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
I am in the exact same boat as you. I actually had the HOX, but when the SGSIII came out I got it and gave the HOX to my wife. Now I'm regretting the decision, for the most part. The updates to the HOX have been great to resolve the issues I had, but also to halt development. But I just keep looking at her phone and thinking how awesome it looks and feels compared to mine. On top of that, my SGSIII seems to be going downhill. It's interesting to note that the 2GB memory sounds great at first, but it tends to load up with everything and then lags the phone. I'm sure a custom ROM will help, but stock to stock, I am drawn to the HOX.

SO with that said, I've been doing research to see how much i could sell the SGSIII for and get a HOX instead. You're in the same situation, right? So you wouldn't need to shell out $600.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
Is the camera really standing between us and being official? It works pretty damn well already.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I don't know. I think having incomplete source to build from is the biggest holdup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I'll have mine tomorrow. More storage space, prettier graphics and much more dev support. Not to mention the killer desk dock and assumed longer HTC support since its international. No lte though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nightvving:
Well, true that I wouldn't have to shell out 600 bucks if I sold my SGS3, but seeing as it is used I could probably only get 350-400 dollars for it max. Not to mention I got it in red which makes it all the harder to sell on ebay.

In retrospect what I should have done is buy a blue Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T, basically never touch the phone at all, just put it back into the box once set up, then immediately put it up on ebay for about 600 dollars. Then I could buy an international HTC One X for 550ish dollars :cool:

That said it really isn't that bad. Mainly I would just prefer the HOX screen. The phone is still fast as hell, doesn't look too bad, I don't mind the physical home button, and I'm able to run CM10/AOKP which makes me happy. It's not worth 150ish dollars to try and sell it on ebay to buy a one x in my opinion. I only get new phones on my upgrade cycle since I'm a penny pincher, so it wouldn't make sense for me to spend even more than the 200 dollars I spent for the upgrade in the first place.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
A used international one x could be had around $400 in great condition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Guster730:
The screen on the S3 is TEEERRIBLE. That alone makes the One X superior.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Your eyes get used to it after a week or so but yeah there is no screen comparison between the two
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nightvving:
I guess I'm a stickler for new stuff, at the very least manufacturer refurbished. Sort of a pet peeve of sorts.

Oh well it's not like a huge loss for me anyways, not a huge power user (I just like a debloated and simple OS). On the plus side I get LTE, 2GB of data, removable battery, microSD card slot. Still that screen....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I think I've see them for $529 on EXPANSYS USA brand new with free shipping. They are in Illinois though so if your like me taxes bring their products up way too much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] plmiller0905:
Well..I tried again and gave the S3 another chance. And for the life of me, I just cant grasp to liking that phone. The feel is horrible. The screen is nowhere near as nice and comfortable as the One X. Oh and the issue I had before about lag and enormous slow down, was also noticeable in this particular S3 as well. I made a a thread over in the ATT S3 General forum if anyone care to see what Im talking about. I don't care if my HOX is unrooted and on he 2.20 update. Point of the matter is, is that I'm glad as hell to have a HOX back in my hand...the speed, the camera and that screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
the S3 sucks.. hands down.. the only benefits it has is the SD card slot and removable battery. I can get 18hours (easily) with CleanROM 4.5 and it stores all of my music that i care to listen to with ease. Why sacrifice build quality with plastic? I'd take a locked bootloader over crappy quality any day. Samsung sucks. Period.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] plmiller0905:
I totally agree...I really didn't use any of the features that the phone has. The laginess of the phone and the screen is my biggest turn off.

The SD Card and removable battery is a plus. But like I said I said I have over 90GB of online storage with dropbox and 50GB with Box...so I'm set.

I'm gonna order me one of those extended battery pack things that you plug into the phone and it charges the battery on the go.

But I'm set with the One X. No.more S3 for me....:):)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Agreed. I was big on the removable battery with the s3 and the microSD, however with the One X and S3, i rarely ever felt the need to replace the battery as they both last me all the way until i go to bed and plug it in. The storage is kind of a let down, however most of my music i dont even care to listen to, and HTC Sync Manager works great to sync playlists so i'd say im happy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shawn1224:
We finally have an official CM10 rom that's pretty damn stable.

For this alone I would say "hell yeah get the HOX."

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shorty920:
I started off with the Captivate. Then had the Sgs2. I agree that the SGS2 was samsungs' best phone. I didn't even need to upgrade when I was eligible. I thought that naturally I would've went galaxy 3 but I just didn't like the look n feel of the phone. It felt cheap n looked ugly

Been using HTC one x for a week n loving it. I have no need to remove the battery n I prolly won't expand the memory either.

I don't even care that the sgs3 is basically better in every way on paper. This HTC is the best built phone I've ever had.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eortizr:
I Come from a Galaxy legasy (Captivate > GS2 >GS3) for me the Captivate was just the perfect phone, but then I got tire of the GS3 cheap back cover and camera quality, so I switch to the HOX, the HOX best the S3 on Display, build , gui and camera(pictures only), the S3 has a better video recorder, but that is something that can be fix on the HOX but I will need to be rooted which I cant now cuz I'm on 2.20. The only think that is literally driving me crazy is the 'rattle' when the phone vibrates, it is really annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lsquare:
I'm really new to Android and I'm stuck between the SGS3 and the HOX. I know the bootloader is locks down on the HOX, but how can there be custom ROMs if the bootloader is locked down? I'm asking about the AT&T, Rogers, and Telus' version of the phone. I do want to buy either the SGS3 and HOX and flash it to Cyanogen 10 Nightly Build. Will I be able to do that with either phones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Greg S:
I have both phones and would have to agree with gunnyman. The SIII still being able to be rooted right now kind of gives it the edge for someone upgrading and interested in custom ROM's now that the 2.20 update rolled out for the One X.

Stock for stock I'd choose the One X over the SIII, though. While the various launchers on the Play Store make Touchwiz and Sense a moot point, after about 10min of use with my SIII on Touchwiz I rooted it and put the Jelly Bean build of AOKP on it. I loathe Touchwiz. I at least made it a week with Sense on my One X before deciding to run AOKP on that as well. Both launchers feel old at this point. Visually enough hasn't changed from their initial releases to feel new anymore. I just can't get past how much I dislike Touchwiz in comparison to Sense which just reminds me of Launcher Pro. Right now both of my phones are on a JB build of AOKP which really limits the differences even further.

Side by side, the SIII is ugly in comparison. The overall design of the One X make it one of the better looking phones, in my opinion. If you're using a case on them which one looks better goes out the window. A TPU case on either makes them both soft and rounded. For the SIII, it at least hides the cheap white plastic battery cover. Without a case on either I actually find the shape of the SIII to fit my hand better. The lack of hard edges on it, like the One X has, gives me a better grip on the phone when actually using it as a phone. I also like the physical home button. It does feel cheap and wobble in its frame, but a physical button is something I always missed from my iPhone 3G. Having a button works better for me with the way I take my phones out of my pocket. Not that it's a deciding factor.

For the camera the differences are barely noticeable. The SIII takes slightly better pictures, but the screen on the One X makes its pictures look better. Its screen is gorgeous. If your pictures stay on the the phone and mostly just get sent as an MMS or uploaded to social networking sites you'll never care which phone takes a slightly better picture since the end result is always compressed. As others have said, after a couple days of using an SIII you adjust to the less bright pentile display and don't notice the difference until you go back to a One X. It's most noticeable when you use them side by side.

All that said I find myself using the One X more than the SIII. The better screen has more wow-factor when showing other people things on it. I do get slightly better battery life with heavy use out of the SIII, but I'm rarely in a situation where I can't get to a charger if need be. I also really like the comedic value of the AOKP case I have for the One X, so that doesn't hurt :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
What I've noticed after using both for about a month or so each on regards to battery life:

Idle standby battery: One X wins

Screen on battery : sgs3 wins.

Both have their pluses.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] plmiller0905:
With the S3 you will. However if your new HOX is on the new update 2.20...then no. But if it's on the previous firmwareyou will.

,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lsquare:
Let me make sure I'm on the same page as you. If the HOX is on a pre 2.20 firmware, I can flash a custom ROM on it? If not then I can't? So this applies to all LTE variants of the HOX in North America?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Bingo. That is correct.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
No. This only applies to the ATT CID One XL. All others will be able to unlock and flash custom ROMs without issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lsquare:
Oh? So if I have either the Telus or Rogers version of the HOX, I can flash a custom ROM regardless of whether I have firmware 2.20 or not?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yes because the bootloader can be unlocked

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DevanPe:
i've personally used as DD devices: LG Thrill 4g, Moto Atrix 2, SGS2, and sadly, yes the iphone. i have had the chance to play with several other devices including the SGS3. none seem to be as smooth as the HOX. i have only had it for a few days and i love it. hope this 2.20 thing gets worked out tho. even without root and mod, the device is solid. at first i was upset about the lack of ex sd, but on my pervious device i had 8gb storage and didnt even fill that up. besides if i need to have storage on a device and not on the cloud, that is waht my galaxy tab 2 is for!

i highly reccoment this device over any others at the moment....this comming from somone that LOVES samsung devices!!!!:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] buddy17:
Well...i owned my ATT One X since release day, and traded yesterday for an S3. Here are my opinions...

Screen - never realized how awesome the One X was, but it is FAR superior

Camera - Both quality and interface seem to go towards the One X, but I haven't played with it much other than a couple low light pics on the S3

Exterior - Although S3 looks like it would be flimsy, it isn't and is built very well. But, One X still dominates. It is just plain beautiful

TouchWiz vs Sense.......well, I can't say either way. I hated touchwiz on my Captivate, and was so relieved to get to Sense on the Inspire and then One X.

But, this new Touchwiz is pretty cool. Tons of features, some useless and some not. Sense 4.1/4.0.4 update definitely puts it right in line with the SGS3 in terms of speed, so it's basically a wash here so far.

I mainly did this for development and popularity purposes. Not only roms, but cases and other accessories are taking off for the S3. And anyways, if i ever want to get back to a One X, I don't think it will be hard to find someone wanting to trade.

And one last thing, its nice to support Samsung after all the recent patent wars, even if i didn't buy the phone directly from them.

All I have to say is today I went to a waterpark with my family. My wife has a S3 and it was really interesting to see her trying to block the sun or cover the screen, so that she can even see the screen. She ended up dropping the phone (didn't break).

But anyways I walked right beside her with absolutely no issues at all seeing the screen on my One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lilhyper:
I have the HOX and my girlfriend has an S3. The hox screen is far more beautiful and usable although it does seem to consume more energy. She can sometimes get up to 6 to 7 hours of screen time. I'm struggling to get 4 to 5.

On the other hand, the current HOX is unrootable. I would not consider the hox without root and super Cid. I feel fortunate to have pre ordered. If I had were in the market today, and as much as I love the hox, I would buy the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] corythug:
Weird. I don't have trouble reading my s3 or one x in the sun. Definitely like the one x screen better but surely have no issues with reading the samoled.

Disclaimer: I am a level 12 phone swapping freakshow. 16+ phones over the last 4 years.

That being said, I have had my Rogers HOX for about 2 weeks now. Overall, a pretty great phone. I read the reviews at launch that said "best screen EVER" on a smartphone. Pretty nice yes, I agree. I don;t have LTE so am using HSPA. Speed is ok - around 4-5 mbps. My Gnex was almost twice that fast network wise.

Today, I am selling her off and picking up a GS3.

Was my experience with the HIX "bad"? Defintely not. A couple of factors:

ROM availability - simple math. More popular phone = more dev support. Plus I am running Clean ROM as it is far more stable than the JB options but hate the Sense portions.

Screen - What can I tell you? I love the SAMOLED look. Totally subjective I know. Saturate me baby.

Resale value: Here in Canucklehead Land, the HOX can be had for as low as 360-380 while the GS3 is running 450 minimum.

Accessories: I to swap cases too and you go into BestBuy and besides some meager pickings, they have two kinds of cases: iphone case and GS3 cases.

I should say this though. I HATE the physical home button on the GS3. I have just decided to live with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] moe3754:
Well Since I just returned my second SGS3 today because of a bad SD Card reader,I said enough with the crap and went with a One X and I have to say that it is a really nice phone, the Samsung was marginal at best, everytime I took the back cover off I thought that it would break in two or the little clips would break off.Since I have had this for only a few hours I cannot make any real claims about it but it is built much better than that overpriced SGS3. This One X reminds me of the day when I had the HTC Inspire another well built phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikeroberts30:
I was in the same boat as the op. I had a Samsung galaxy s2 (a workhorse btw) and it was time to upgrade to either the one x or s3. Naturally coming from the s2 I was heading towards the direction of the s3. I did a couple months of reading reviews and head to heads on both of these phones. I played with both phones in the store on two separate occasions before settling. With that said, I purchased the one x 4 days ago and here's why: first was the screen of the one x. Super amoled is nice...until you compare it side by side with the LCD 2 screen in my opinion. Bring up the google home page on each side by side and you see what I mean. Secondly the phone has an amazing feel to it. It just feels high end compared to the s3. Third I personally like sense a little more than touchwiz. It feels more polished and feels less cartoonish to me. Fourth its a unique design with its curved body and "infinity pool" like display. I wish the one x had expandable memory but I honestly never even touched 16 gb on a phone before. And I'm not to concerned with a non removable battery because I have never bought or carried a spare cell phone battery with me ever. Now those two things very well might be the deciding factor for some people and i think that the race would be much closer if HTC included those two things. 2 gb of ram wouldve been nice however. I do see some very slightly lag occasionally usually when opening the app drawer which is either a fault of sense or perhaps the power management of the processor. It has a similar effect as an "ondemand" governor. I feel overall quality of the hardware is becoming more important with android because any "unique" software feature is usually available in the play store with in weeks of its announcement. Both phones are impressive and rest assured both will be outdated in a month or two. Bottom line play with both thoroughly and read as much as you can about the two.

I traded my s3 for a one x (s3 was not in the best of conditions.

Here were the cons I found in the s3

-back plastic got scratched easily

- screen doesn't compare to the one x

- even though it was running JB the one x somehow feels smoother

- battery life wasnt the best from my experience

Pros

- touch input feels easier on the S3

- more ROMs, more support from samsung , and more support in general being that its the hottest phone around besides the I5

- expandable memory

Both great phones but personally I'm enjoying the one x more

My wife has an s3 and its definitely a slick phone. I like it a lot but nothing beats the one x's screen. I do like the extra width of the s3's screen though. Her phone is on cm10 and its buttery smooth and my one x is on the newest MIUI. You really can't go wrong with either phone.
