I'm always the type of person who buys somthing that's underdog without really knowing it that much right before a more mainstream product... A trend I've began since I was looking for a printer to buy :o. Well it continued to the HOX and usually I don't like what I pick because it feels worse... And yes I admit I have the urge to try a GS3 if i get the chance... But it's somthing that doesn't bother me much for once, because the HOX just is a amazing BMW (Pun intended). Just my opinion.

If you put your phone in a case, the feel of the phone should be a non-issue. And covering it does erase the issue. For example, if you dont like the feel of the phone then you throw it in an Incipio Silicryllic Dual Pro case, the phone no longer feels the same. And if you dont like the finish due to how easy it scratches or attracts fingerprints, slip it in a quality tpu case and the problem is solved.

If naked is your thing, I could understand the feel being important. I heard this complaint long before I got my GSIII and when I finally got my hands on it I completely expected it to feel like some cheap, lightweight, flimsy dollar store toy but instead I was blown away at how overblown the feel was made out to be. It felt fine to me, for as big as it is its very light and thin, both of which are mando given the size of it.

I'd consider trading back to a rooted gray OnE x for my white galaxy s3 (plus cash of course). Love that gray.

What are you talking about? I never switched. Always had the One X. I posted on like the first couple pages that I made this thread at night when I was tired and was just sort of talking aloud. I never expected this to go as far as it has. I haven't even been following it or commenting. I just popped in for the first time today.

BTW assumption is the mother of all f*** ups.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Why does everyone want cash plus the hox for the sgs3 lol. There's nothing about the sgs3 that warrants cash plus the One X. I just don't understand it. It's not like it's an iPhone. Samsung is getting some cult followers. The sgs3 could have low range specs and people would still want cash plus another device just because of the name.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
It's newer, costs more (at least where I live) and the internals probably cost a bit more. Still I get what you're saying, they're equal in other regards

If someone can get something they wanted, by trading something they have AND get money back also, wouldnt anyone do the same? The resale value of an item isn't decided only by the sellers, but by the buyers willingness to pay. Items "popularity" typically increases the amount buyers are willing to pay.

I absolutely agree with you 100% but even tho popularity adds false value, when your the one with the popular item there's nothing wrong for asking for what its currently worth.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Yep. One x is 450 New, galaxy s3 is 550. That's where people including myself get the 100.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] houstonsveryown:
Yeah i get that but once you've opened that device and used that device that price goes down. Now $550 unopened bnib is acceptable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Ok. But so does the value of the one x. Both devices are selling used for 100 dollars less than New each
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] houstonsveryown:
i say the exact thing. Spec wise this damn phone is equal. I would not put cash with anything i felt wasn't equal. Take it or leave because i assure you someone will.

Especially when its hard to buy a new One X with unlockable BL. I think there is value in having a rootable phone. Just ask anyone that got saddled with a 2.20.

Bets on how long until the GS III gets a similar price cut? (So they are both $99 on contract)

I have both right now and can honestly say the feel of the One X's hardware and software is nicer. With that said, the versatility of the S3 is unmatched. I was planning to sell the One X since I got it brand new for $200 dollars, but I'm just going to keep both. Maybe sell the S3 since everyone is dropping $500 for it, lol.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I've switched again for a number of reasons.

Build quality as others have said is a non issue for me because my phone is in a Diztronic TPU case.

I like having all of my music with me on a 32 GB SD card. I like the removable battery. I also like not having to play games and find a new exploit when there's a software update.

The One X edges out the SGS III for ME with the better screen, but even that amazing screen doesn't overshadow what HTC/AT&T have done to us with their stupid locked boot loader again this is MY OPINION.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I think we just have first world problems. They are both great and to a normal user either or should be fine. The development on the galaxy isn't any better than this one x to go against what was said before. Themes aren't roms and it seems like most of the development on that phone ends up being roms that are just different colors. I just realize that the camera and audio are the biggest thing for me, and with that the one x is better. Also I work in the public sector so having a bright screen outside is a big plus. I'll just stream my music.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I agree with you with regards to development. Stock rooted is great for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ksnax:
That is the primary reason I chose the One X over the 3. Samsung likes to hype the technology of what is really an inferior product for outside use. It's just not bright enough!

I'm probably going to go to the SG3, I got 2 different HOX both with 2.20 software and can not root Phone. Dev on SG3 is huge and they have root. HTC is killing themselves. I actually like the HOX but 3 major problems with it are 1. Can not root 2. no removable battery 3. no micro sd card slot. I could over look 2,and 3 since this was for my wife but not being able to root and flash is my breaking point.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Euphorie:
Well SGS3 is great device no doubt, but it is sooo ugly with this corners and also i hate pentile display.

But it's just my opinion.

Probably some people are switching because of similarity to iPhone, another because of update support. (Samsung brings out faster updates)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] david_ag:
You guys need to understand something. The best SELLING phone is not necessarily the BEST phone.

Sometimes it is but most of the time, the best selling phone is the one with the BEST marketing. Samsung has taken a big hint in copying Apple's marketing strategies and have had success with it. That's why the iphone is the best selling phone, followed by whatever Samsung is selling. MARKETING.

Most people have no idea what rooting or jailbreaking is. They don't read reviews online, they don't care about specs, they just care that their phone does the exact thing they were amazed by on the TV commercial. Apple is the KING of that. They exploit little fancy gimmicks that sometimes have been present on other phones for years and call it revolutionary, new, never seen before and MOST people blindly buy it. They know no better!

That's the world we live in!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jordant2:
I actually just switched from the gs3. Right now I have both and am trying to decide which to sell. I will probably keep the One X. I hate the Super Amoled Pentile display and will probably never but another phone that uses the same technology. I have moved to Southern Cali and it is always so sunny I can never see my display even in full brightness. We are outside a lot and out at beaches and eat outside all the time and the last few samsungs I've had (galaxy note and gs3) are terrible outdoors. Also I'm tired of touchwiz. The interface is boring and it mostly has a lot of gestures and gimmicks. I tried to root and flash cm10 but it just has some flaws that bother me. I actually bought a rooted One X and it came running cm10 and it was great. I installed Viper ROM though because I happen to think Sense is beautiful and runs well.

Now I will say that battery life on the gs3 is better than the One X, especially after some tweaks and rooting. People are getting ridiculous screen on times on a single charge. Oh and that 2GB RAM is only noticeable on the super fast cold boots. As far as regular operation of the phone, I really see no performance increase due to the extra RAM, it's not Windows! So that's just my take from someone that has both devices.

How are you guys switching? Selling your old device to cover the early termination fee and signing up for a new phone? I just got a quote for cutting off my iPhone 4s after one year - $325 which is about what it sells used. Or do you guys just buy the full phone without contract?

Honestly I really love the look and feel of the One X. I like the display although it's not as good as my Rezound was on Verizon. That phone had stellar hardware. Anyway back to the point. I hate sense. All I want to do is flash CM10 so I can have the clean look of both hardware and software, but of course I'm stuck on 2.20 so that's a no go. With that being said I was thinking about switching to the GS3 cause I'm too impatient to wait on a root that may never come. The GS3 doesn't really appeal to me in the looks department, but CM10 grabs my attention. Maybe I can try to swing an international One X. Ok now I'm just thinking out loud.

My two cents

I have had a GSIII for about 3 months now and I loved every minute of it. I finally decided to root and ROM it (4.1 AOKP)about a week ago and I love it even more now. I can't put it down its so awesome. Anyways, little brother ended up finally having the money to get a smartphone but didn't have enough to get a sIII so he decided to get a One X and I helped him get the matching beats ear buds and I have to say from the time he let me use it i actually became slightly envious of it. It feels good in hand an and the unibody build really giant that bad.for the most part its almost equal to the s3 IMO but the only complaints i have are with the haptic keys and the locked 2.20 bootlader and inability to root. Aside from that I wouldn't mind switching out on occasion.I don't think I would miss a beat with how well built it is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zeffir:
I came from a SGS Captivate, which seems like a relic to me now but I chose One X over SGS3 partly because I hate how cheap looking it was compared to One X. It's all a matter of preference of course and between One X and SGS3 the main difference is appearance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dafunk60:
Started with the SG3 & switched to the HOX

WARNING - The content of this post is almost entirely opinion. Your opinions may be different, but these opinions are mine.

My Sprint contract was up and I needed a carrier with better service at my home. This meant AT&T, which in turn left me with the choice of a SG3 or HOX. I went with the SG3 as a root exploit had already been found, it provided external storage, and offered a removable battery. I didn't expect much from Touch Wiz but figured I would give it a week to see if it grew on me. If it didn't, I would just flash another rom. I could write a book about the short comings of Touch Wiz, but in the end I found that there were some key problems with the hardware that even the finest rom wouldn't fix.

1. The screen was not bright enough for outdoor use & everything had a blue tint to it. I though I might have gotten a bad screen but after looking at several others it appears to be the norm.

2. The home button, at least with my thumb, was very difficult to press. I had to jab it with the tip of my thumb as using the pad of my thumb just wouldn't do it. Since this is a button I use frequently, I found it quite annoying.

3. The placement of the volume & power buttons are almost exactly opposite each another and I would always find myself pressing the power button when trying to adjust the volume. This was especially true when the phone was sitting on a table and not in my hand.

4. The materials & construction felt somewhat cheap & unrefined, even compared to my old Evo4G. The volume buttons rattled, the back panel wasn't tight. Again, I though maybe it's just my phone, but several other SG3's had the same poor build quality.

After a week with the SG3 I paid the $35 AT&T restocking fee and switched to the HOX. While I'll be much happier when a root exploit is found for the 2.20 firmware, I like the HOX much more than the SG3 and it was $100 cheaper.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Totally with ya brother.... I love this phone for some reason.... A LOT. No root, no roms..... Just, love it. I would jump in front of a speeding train......

Samsung makes quality Android devices and they market them well. HTC makes quality Android devices and I cannot recall an advertisement for the One X other than that one where the goat kicks a bag off the cliff and they showcase the One X's ability to shoot still photos from video.

AT&T stores immediately pushed me to the Galaxy S III when I walked in. When I said I didn't like it as much as I thought I would they then suggest the iPhone and after that the One X. I'm not sure what the commission percentages are on each phone respectively or if the stores just run promos for their employees to boost specific numbers but it seems crazy that other devices get pushed first when the One X can stand on its own. AT&T Tech Support on the other hand expressed their opinion that the One X was better than the Galaxy S III calling it a "beast of a phone" and that I would love the camera. They were right. The screen is awesome, too. I miss the ability to root but people with the passion and calling for it usually find a way around all the walls carriers put up to prevent us from flashing ROMs. Stock is fine and ICS lets you disable bloatware, so aside from limitations of not having root access the phone performs well. I have taken great shots with the One X camera and the call quality is wonderful. My wife wanted the S III and is having issues with it. She may decide to swap out for a One X herself. Well, here's hoping. The extra $100 would be nice right now!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
At this point I've decided that a one x one 2.20 stock is better for me than the galaxy s3 rooted. 2gb showed no difference for me in daily use, even when rooted and on custom ROMs.

Sure. If downsizing is your thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshuadjohnson22:
The answer is simple and others have touched on this, its the user. The reason I chose the ONE X over the S3 is because I liked the screen's natural colors better than the beautiful screen on the S3. I also liked the build quality, so I chose on those things. Both phones rock and I would recommend them to anyone.

There is no "which is better" only "what do you want in a phone". For my grandpa his ideal phone is a nokia with 16 colors and regular dial pad. If i gave him anything else he would have a heart attack lol. Even when it comes to iOS vs android debate, its completely user preference. Do you want easy with limited options or would that bore you to death. Some people can't handle Android and should go to iPhone. I love both in different ways.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
Depends... for the moment, I'd dare to say the SGSIII is "better" simply because it isn't on lockdown. Now, if you managed to get a One X capable of being unlocked, I'd say it's solely up to user preference at that point.

For those of us stuck on 2.20 though, well... things aren't quite that simple =/

I suppose wanting a rooted device is technically user preference as well, but around here, root is life O.O

Hi folks. I'm fairly new to the forums. I sadly regret to say that I had the HTC One X for a week and then I traded it in and got a Samsung GS3. I bet you know the next thing I am going to say right? I miss my HOX. Even if it did have lack of battery life and sdcard. I was seriously just going to sell my GS3 and go back to the HOX, but low and behold, I hear the new of a HOX+!!!! I was elated. Now I am pulling my hair out because there isn't a firm date or price on the HOX+. Tech sites say "In the coming weeks" and a store rep "predicts" it will be in the first weeks of November. I don't know whether I should wait for the unknown amount of time or if I should just man up and get my HOX now. My main issue was disk space. It seemed that there was alot of space being eaten up and I only had 5 GB of music on there.

So anyone have any more info on the pricing and release date of the HOX+ for ATT? I don't want to make another mistake and get the HOX prematurely when a HOX+ could be right around the corner.
