[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
"Faster and smoother" doesn't mean better. The GN had a dim display, crappy camera, and bad battery life. Did the fact that it was running stock Android make it a "better" device than either the SGS2 or SGS3? People who's entire world revolves around transitions and getting X.X.00002 the moment it's released should definitely buy Nexus devices. For people that use their devices to do something and want a device to help them be more productive Samsung and HTC devices with TW and Sense are better choices. And HTC does a better job with Sense than Samsung does with TW.

Here's a great example from the Note 10.1 forum. Here's list of what's on the Note 10.1 and missing from the N10. I'm sure we could make a similar list for the One X/One X+/DLX vs. the N4. As processors and GPUs have become more powerful than the OS and Apps that are running on them the need for "pure Google" is becoming less valuable other than for faster updates. And as Android's matured even the updates are becoming less meaningful. There's more to a device than just benchmarks, transitions, and updates and those other things are why I bought the One X in the first place and why I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HTC device.
