I was between the gs3 and the hox butcouldnt get over the gs3 touchwiz, I much rather prefer sense 4. The down side might be the battery but there will be many packs for it in the future. The main reason against the gs3 is the cheap feel of the home button which I felt would wear out with alot of use.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I would probally wait for the new one if you can bear the gs3 for a bit, yes it may be $200-$300 but from my experiance selling alot on eBay you will have no problem getting $400+ and will have the latest and greatest. Plus the little bit more powerful processor may be worth it and the battery is bigger by 300mAh.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lunercrab:
LOL I'm in the exact same boat as u. My first android phone was the gs2 which I loved. Then when the hox dropped I bought it. I hated not being able to flash cause the bootloader was locked at the time so I went back to the s3 cause I missed Samsung. Well here I am missing the hox 3 months later. I never fell in love with the gs3 like I did the s2. In fact I called att to inquire about getting a hox again. I'm not due for any upgrade but they authorized me to buy one for 199. I'm afraid the new ones will ship with 2.20. At this point I'm also thinking I'd be better off just waiting for the x+ though it would be more expensive and probably be locked down as well :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CP24EVA:
Well I want to be able to root my phone too. We know how HTC is with the locked bootloader and all that. I'm considering looking for a rooted HOX instead. The new one I assume will be locked as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lunercrab:
Yeah I'm thinking if I'm gunna get a locked up phone may as well just wait for the x+. Hopefully it'll be out early next month

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Ummm.... How bout the S3 is on 4 major carriers in the US.... The OneX is on One. The launch of the One X was terribly timed and a ban kept the device floating in water. Not to mention HTC did nothing special to bring attention to this device anywhere else except come out publicly and apologize for previous terrible devices. I can only imagine that a team of 9 year olds were in charge of the launch strategy for the OneX. I dont imagine the OneX plus is going to do much better with the amount of new phones coming out around it. At this point I LOVE this phone, but I am DEFINITELY moving to a Nexus if the new one meets any of the hype. HTC is killing themselves.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skanman911:
I picked up my HOX without influence.. coming from my x10 anything's an upgrade, I picked up both demo phones in the store (sgs3 and hox). Both seemed fast enough, but when I looked at the screen the sgs3 had this green tint. Even though there was no root for it I knew I could disable the bloatware in app settings (cause I did it on the demo phone teeheehee), and that made me not mind the ram differences. I don't mind not being able to root it, cause its fine out of the box. In the end for my purposes this phone was best. If other people are buying the sgs3 its probably cause its a great phone too and the sgs2 had such a great reputation. But I love my phone and when my friends are like what is that?! Can I play with it? I say "get your own you 4$%#ing hox %&@$#!!" and several have :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cbutters:
I have the One X, but opted out and got a GS3...

my reasons:

HTC One X Benefits:

-Best Screen Ever

-Better Camera

SGS3 Benefits:

-T-mobile 3G/4G support

-Expandable Memory (sdhc)

-better button layout.

-larger (replaceable) battery

-bootloader not locked down like HOX

I couldn't continue using edge data on my HOX.... I could have lived with it and loved it if I was getting fast data speeds.... If they ever figure out how to get t-mobile 3g working on the HTC One X... I might go back to it... or once the t-mobile refarm happens and coverage is decent.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] n19htmare:
My points will probably be repetitive as they've been said a million times already.

There is no doubt the One X has a better screen..........................................And that's it.

My brother has a GS3, and we are both tinkerers. Overall it's just a better phone. HTC May have got the design and the screen down but they fail miserably on User Experience. They THINK they know what people want but they haven't a clue.

The GS3, even with touchwiz is a fluid, smooth and to the point use experience. Even the debloated sense is bloated. It's snappy at first but then it just MY GOD, don't know what happens to it but it just chokes. SIMPLE things like getting a notification. I'll be writting an email and suddenly the phone would freeze for a few seconds and I KNOW a notification is coming.

I finally moved to CM10 just wasn't as stable I had liked so moved back to sense but grrr it's sooo slow.

Not to mention the dev support behind the GS3 line is enormous and haven from us tinkerers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
A lot of people including ne like sense and think HTC sense is unique my father has a s3 and I think touch wiz is ugly ui...I can't stay on a cm10 for idk not long at all until I flash back to sense ...trust ne sense grows on you all the small things that it includes that I find cool grow on you...and the weather clock and app I love along with other features ...I could never stay non sense for a while and that's why I'll stick with HTC
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] n19htmare:
I didn't question the features of the rom. I questioned the performance of the device with their respective OS skins. Touchwiz vs. Sense.

They both have the same processor yet the GS3 is zippy 24/7 after heavy usage, all whily my sense based phone is crawling.

My brother is deaf, he solely relies on emails, messaging and sms to communicate so at the end of the day he's beat his phone as much as possible with signs of lag or slow usage.

the user experience on the One X with sense leaves a lot to be desired for.

Been using the One X for a month. Still waiting for sense to grow on me. I tolerate it, but still miss TouchWiz performance. If TW is ugly I don't know what to call Sense, or stock AOSP. Every where is filled with changes that serve no purpose. All the bloated changes and animations take up a lot of space too - almost half the storage. The fact that I can't use the Sense Widgets on Nova is extremely irritating. If I am putting up with sense I should at least be able to use those Widgets they are so proud of on a launcher with a customizable layout. A 4x4 layout on a 4.7" screen, the same as a 3.2" screen? Any TouchWiz widget (albeit not many) can be used on any launcher. Even on ViperXL, my GS II multi-tasked better. I still have to reload chrome almost every time I switch to it.

I too can't stay on CM10 long. Its still too buggy and battery life is unpredictable.

T-Mobile should have many areas flipped to 1900MHz by the beginning of the year.

I've been using cloud services like dropbox and Google play music to combat the low storage size. Also, USB host should allow me to carry a flash drive with me.

Battery life on my HOX is better than I had on the GS3.

Most retailers (aside from ATT store/online) are selling brand new (not refurbished) HOX's with 1.85 which is unlockable/ root able (best buy, amazon, Sam's club confirmed so far).

I agree with the button layout. I would prefer for the 'back' button to be on the right.

Imo best comment in the entire thread.

Quite frankly I'm getting fed up with all the s3 posts in the one xl forum. I've never seen a phone forum with so many threads regarding another device its been discussed to nauseam. To each his own by what you want and like and leave it at that. These threads serve no value to the one xl community.

It's just that I've seen people swear that their HOX is the best phone on the market just to trade for a sgs3. Just wondering why. I honestly don't see what the fuss iw about with the sgs3. In my opinion, the hox has a better screen, better battery life, and better camera.

This is from Scott when I asked if he bought a different phone: "YEs, I had to move back to VZW to same some monthly cash so I took back my Asus TF300T and got a Samsung SGS3 and a Nexus 7. Yeah, both those cost what a an Asus TF300T costs (no joking, for real)".

So yea, he has one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brekec88:
I own both and love both. Screen and camera are both a little better on hox, but not by alot at all. Screen and camera are both still very good on the s3. I would have to disagree with the battery being better on hox though, in my experience the s3 gets more on screen time.

I think the main reasons why people from xda leave for the s3 is because the hox is so damn locked down and 10gb of storage blows. I think the reason why the hox is not as popular among regular people is because before the 2.20 update the phone had a good amount of lag, bad multi tasking and not as good of battery life. Yes 2.20 fixed all that but it was almost little to late for the image of the hox. I think if the hox would have been released with 2.20 and had 32gb internal this phone would be competing with the s3 in sales alot better, maybe even neck and neck. Again I love the hox but HTC kinda screwed the pooch on how it released this phone (at least on At&t).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
That's the one thing I'll agree on with everyone, the storage. 10gb for a flagship phone is pitiful. Hopefully HTC will improve upon that next time. Even if they add a micro sd card, it would be better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
For the flashaholics like myself, the SGS3 is a good fit but.....I still cant get past the build. Went to AT&T today to add another line and was playing with the red one and once again could not get past the cheap ass plastic cover on the back. I was tempted to try it again, but in the end left with a One X. I have said it a million times that I love Samsung...far and away the SGSII is my favorite phone ever...but the GS3 is just not what I would expect from them in the evolution of their premier line. The OneX is just way to solid of a phone...It feels like a high end device, I do miss the over saturation a bit, but even the GS3s color is not quite the same as the GSII. In the end bang for the buck, the OneX is second to none.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xnerdx:
I went from a White One XL, To a GS3, To an iPhone 4S 64GB and now I'm back to a Black One XL :p. I prefer the sense ui over touch wiz by far but really miss the expandable memory option. My phone is just going to be a mobile hotspot for my nexus 7 and figured the one xl would take the cake in battery. It's all up to personal preference I guess. (Wish there was root for 2.20 though)

You can disagree but even most review sites agree with me in that before 2.20 sense 4.0 was lagggggggyyyy. Totally unacceptable, glad they fixed it finally but phone should have never been released with that first few software version and now HTC is paying for it.

I had both and think both are excellent phones. I didn't need both so I decided to sell one. I ended up selling the GS3 because I got $100 more cash than I would for the One X.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Also have to remember most people that got iPhone4 and Galaxy S (Captivate) had their contracts come up right around the S3s release. What did a lot of them get? An S3. Just in terms of advertising, Samsung outdid HTC by a lot. Add to that, especially on AT&T, the prior Android flagships were the Captivate and SGSII, that's what most people know.

Now, for people on XDA? Sure the phones are just about on par minus the battery (I don't care about that) and storage, but the Galaxy S line since the start of it has never been locked down. For the HOX, you're taking a shot in the dark with whether you're getting a phone that could even be rooted and unlocked.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I have a theory about the people complaining about limited storage on the HOX,I bet many of them came from higher capacity iPhones. I had a 64 GB iPhone myself before coming to the HOX. I kind of miss having all of my music on the device at times. I love to put my ipod on shuffle.

The One X would be so much better if they had opted for external storage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crabnebula:
I had both phones for a while (North American versions) and had to resell one of them.

I kept the One X.

I kind of got used to Sense, even if I swore by pure Google before and had only owned Nexus devices. Samsung's TouchWiz is a lot less elegant and refined than Sense. But what kept me here is the design, the screen, and the audio output over headphones. The Snapdragon based GS3 has a ridiculous amount of hiss due to the headphone amplifier being set too high.
