HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S3? - HTC One X

Which one should I purchase? I'm planning to buy it tomorrow, please help me out, I already checked the specs and they are almost the same, I'm planning to use it mostly to read documents, use mail (read, answer, download attachments) social networking, I develop apps for Android, so the bigger screen, the better, not planning to use it for gaming, but I guess HTC is better in that field since it has a nvidia graphic chip right? any comment will be helpful, thanks!

The One X will get you the best gaming experience on a mobile device ever thanks to the Tegra 3 processor. However, also because of the processor, you might see more development activity in the S3's forum, but I don't think it makes that much of a difference. If you're not planning to root your device and install custom software, you might even get a bit more battery life on the S3. All in all, you should base your decision on your personal preference: would you like an AMOLED or an IPS LCD screen? would you like Samsung's plastic or HTC's more premium feeling (my opinion)? would you like the Tegra 3 and would you use it for THD games? do you have any lean towards either company (I stay away from Samsung because I've heard horror stories about their customer service experience, but have had a good one with my old HTC devices)? Technically speaking, both devices are very similar and capable of running the same software just as well. But since I am obviously here with a HOX on my table, I haven't looked back for a second and I highly recommend you got for the One X - you won't regret it for a second :good:

You can use the search option. There are too many threads comparing between HOX and S3.
It will be easier for you to decide then.

Thanks a lot, that's actually a really really good opinion, I'm planning to root it by the way.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages over each other. One X looks better, has a slightly better screen and fantastic Tegra 3. S3 is more hackable and has a better selection of roms and an arguably slightly better camera.
Personally I would prefer the S3 purely because of the more active community but I'm still happy with my HOX

Hox has the best rom forum... And sg3 apps that can be use in our hox like s voice.. See my screenshoots

Simple. Yes. I played with the s3 in store even after i bought htc and honestly, i never regret it. Both phones are very alike but i guess sense is what made me choose htc because it's just more convenient.

I went galaxy s, galaxy s2, hox, galaxy s3, and back to hox. No regrets at all except the purchase of gs3, and like mentioned in most threads, sense is way more user friendly than touchwiz.

Aren’t there any mobile phone stores where you live ? I highly recommend trying out both handsets before buying.
The main reason I bought the One X was price, due to special circumstances I couldn’t wait for the price of S3 to drop. But if I had both options at same price I would have gone with the S3. Mainly because of the removable battery, better community support and the ability to root and install custom ROMs without voiding warranty. But having said that I don’t regret having the One X. It’s a pretty good phone.

Looks like HTC won the style war at least. That thing looks awful in comparison to the One X. Even the dummy case looked better.
Pentile matrix too.
Yeah, S3 looks crappy but wins the specs wars

Not really, both phones seems to have their ups and downs
The screen...for me, i prefer the slcd 2 over pentile amoled
Processors and ram are the same, im.sure some.tests will make winner exynos , some tegra
The good for G3 is the extra storage space with expansion ...for me.32. Gb is enough, but still is nice to have expansion
The only relay goodie is G3 for.me is the battery, but thats the sacrifice the HTC did for slicker appearance

The exynos is a 32nm cpu so it is supposed to be more battery efficient but that thing is even uglier than the gs2! The one x is the best looking device out there.

I don't have a ONE X ( yet )! I was waiting for the GS3 to make my decision! Samsung made it easy for me with that ugly plasticky phone! HTC ONE X here i come!
Just pre-ordered one and will be saying good bye to my One X - The removable battery and SD Card slot sold me. May do for others also.
I couldn't agree more combat goofwing haha. I personally love the sense interface specially the new 4.0 build. Touchwiz on the otherhand is also **** ugly at least on the gs2 tried it many times and I just can't get along with it. I know there's many launches out the but it's god to compare manufacturers defaults.
I will retract my comment once I have physically seen the new touchwiz but as it stands I'd choose HOX + sense over sg3 + tw anyday

Just because I have a One X doesn't mean I can't sell it and get an S3. I was considering it up until I saw the phone.
It's the same old cheap, nasty, flimsy plastic that Samsung use on all their phones and it's a pentile matrix display with poor colour reproduction and lower PPI. Couple that with the fact the One X has exclusives like Dark Meadow and I have to say the S3 has failed to impressed me.

Got my new HTC One X - Unboxing

Hey guys !
I got my HTC One X a week ago and preferred it over the Galaxy SIII after thinking alot and I'm glad to make the decision. I used it for a week and no issues uptill now. Multi-tasking is also great, maybe because I the middle east version. I just found that my phone was heating alot twice during this week but not so often. I think all smartphones heat up these days, having owned the iPhone 4 and 4s, Galaxy SII and HTC Sensation, all of them heated just like this one, so I don't take it as much of big deal. I think the phone is great and HTC has improved their sense skin alot and they also have a different sound set on this version. The camera is great. The best of all, the screen, it's GORGEOUS. Now for some pictures. Bought a cover and screen protector along with the phone and the pictures on the phone are with the protector ! Mine is the Taiwanese version.

Nice pics,
Kind of regret not getting the white. It is pretty lush
Enjoy your phone
enjoy it bro and congrats, one of the best devices ever made
so refreshing to have no cry baby post
Thanks Guys ^ I don't why people create a hype about all the issues and bugs. I didn't face any kind of problem with my phone, not even software issues. I was very scared before getting this phone because of all the hype and criticism, obviously as I'm throwing out alot of cash for it, but then I thought there are always rumours and hypes created for every product that is and was and finally bought this phone on my birthday ! and I must say I'm not regretting it. And I just love the build quality and design
And yes, I was gonna get the black one but the white finish of the polycarbonate on this phone is amazing !

To be fair when the phone 1st came out there was bugs in the original software, HTC have since addressed those with updates.
If you willing to root your phone there are options to reduced temperature of the Tegra chip from reducing voltage with custom kernel and disable 1 or 2 cores.
The One X is a great phone, enjoy.

Yea I know those were there, screen flickering and Wi-Fi problems, but having a good experience with HTC products, I can expect updates from them solving those issues.
Out of curiosity, what sway you to Hox in comparison with sgs3? considerations?
Good choice!
OT: The silicon case you've got is crap. I had it as well, gets dirty really quick, blocks GPS signal as well. Now waiting for genuine one.

The build quality and the screen, the design, the materials used in the making, it feels elegant ! And even according to benchmarks there isn't a whole lot of difference between the performance of the galaxy s3 and HTC One X, Rest of the applications on the s3 are gonna be ported on the one X if anyone really cares about them for example the s voice on s3 is already available to all android devices and samsung has unblocked it

[Q] New phone - best quad core model

Hey, guys! I am owner of Xperia arc S (and developer of Jelly Sandwich, btw) and want to buy another phone in November. Of course I will still have arc S for development and other stuff, don't worry. I am thinking of one from these models: HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III, LG Optimus 4x HD. Which one is the best? Please, recommend something! LG tempts with its low price, but I don't really like its interface - even stock based custom ROMs will have this look. From the other hand SGSIII has its awesome Amoled screen and great support via custom ROMs (One X also does). Do you have any suggestions? I will choose 100% from one od these three phones - even latest Sony phones won't have quad core CPU. And, please... Don't try to make me thing dual core has the same performance as quad core. I just want my future phone to have 4-core CPU.
BTW, I like SGS3's light interface so for example Android Revolution HD ROM would be suitable for me :3
Thanks in advance for suggestions!
Cheers,
Max
It'd have to be the s3, if only because of its popularity. I've been thinking of a new phone for about 6 months, I've tried the xperia s, one x, s3, galaxy nexus and the note 2. The xperiaS was ok, but not a huge improvement on my arc. One x seems faster at first compared to the s3, but after 3-4 days use it felt laggy whereas the s3 actually felt faster. They're both on the large side though. Nexus is good but display lets it down. Note2 is f***ing huge!
I'll probably get the s3 myself, mainly as Samsung have actually put a bit of thought into the ui.

But why?
Because I like the HTC Sense UI. But thats not the only reason and I think that doesnt rly help you.
Pretty good performance,
customizeable
materials (doesnt cares you, i know)
Even the S3 has got better ways for customization (popular, more private developers..) i would choose one X anyways.

Being quite alot into design, few words from that point of view:
1. You are seriously qualifying Samsung UI as "good one"?
2. How could one go for such uninspiring (not to say ugly) and washed out design, after having sexy beast like arc S?
Bottom line. I would not go for quad-core untill Sony, or anyone else, release an originally designed, true quad-core killer. Also, these first quad-core "experiments" you mentioned as options, will probably be ridiculous by the time Sony release their quad-cores, and generally second generation of quad-cores. One more thing. Quad-cores will be there for long time for sure, and in half year from now (or a bit more), there's a big chance that you will have the weakest quad core phone, of all quad-cores.
Anyway, good luck with shopping.
I have news for you:

That's the main reason I haven't gone for any new phone yet, the fact that the s3 and oneX are basically the first generation of quad cores. Plus as someone said previously, the s3 is pretty bland looking. I chose my arc over an s2 mainly due to its looks and actually think it's still the best looking smartphone, alongside the lumia 900.
many quad core phones are on its way..wait till Christmas if you can and you will have many options

HTC one x+ leaked

The HTC one x+ has been leaked supporting 64 GB internal and it looks like its got a new material around the camera ring which should make it more scratch resistance and it runs on jelly bean. If you look at the three keys on the O2 brochure the keys instead of a blue colour they are red. It's also been claimed that it will have 1.7 GHz processor this could be the tegra 3 which can be clocked to 1.7 GHz with all cores running and DDR3 which is better then the tegra 3 all the other phones are using including the current HTC one x international version, or it could be the same processor which runs at 1.7. GHz single core mode or it could be s4 pro which can run at 1.7 GHz. Most likely it will use s4 pro or the new tegra 3 model with a built in 4g modem.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x_makes_an_appearance_in_an_o2_uk_brochure_-news-4868.php
Their are no leaks on battery size or anything else the pricing is at £480.00 without contract on O2. The reason why they are releasing this model is because they need to release a phone with 4G which they already have but that isn't international and it has 16GB which isn't enough. the reasons why they are releasing this is because:
-they need to increase their internal memory because that was a major deal breaker for many people although I am okay with 32gb.
-they need a 4g version to compete with iPhone 5. HTC already have a 4g but with only 16gb which is less.
-they needed to redesign the camera lens so its not easily scratched.
-they need to put a better CPU as the current tegra 3 and s4 are not as good as A6 and s4 pro. Although it would be better I'd they where to go with s4 pro since that's the best CPU with excellent power efficient.
-if they do not place a s4 pro then hopefully they'll increase battery since although I doubt that.
-they need to have 1.5gb-2gb ram atleast so theirs no more slowness or sense crashes.

Many people are saying it's to soon for them to releases a flagship but with the likes of Nokia 920, iPhone 5 and others they need to release it. Its actually been 6 months since the HTC one x has been released so I don't know why people are comparing this to the sensation and xe that was released like two months after the sensation I think.
I personally think it's good that they are releasing this I hopefully will be getting it. Remember its called the one x+ it's just a improved version which will be much better on the software side of things. Atleast they didn't do what apple did release 4s after a year with only a few few improvements and no design improvements. I thinks its good of HTC to address the HTC one x's problems after six months.
Many people are complaining on other tech sites that it doesn't have removable sd or a 12 megapixel camera but theirs no need for that. Someone said that if the HTC one x+ has 64gb build in with no sd they won't buy it, first of all 64 gb is more then enough and why do people beg for a sd slot the only advantage I can see is when you have more then one android you want to swap data.
One thing that I have noticed about you tech lovers your so greedy you ask for one thing then you get it and then you want another thing. Your always complaining like you lot have any experience in running an electronic company like HTC. HTC must have done something right to get this far. Many people also compare a current model to a leaked which is obviously gonna be better.
What would you like to see in the new improved model, why and do you think HTC going back to the red keys like the xe was a good idea and will you be buying it even when it has 64gb at the same retail price as a s3 16gb?

Holy cow. That thing is beautiful. Maybe they've been listening to the customers by bringing back the SD slot etc. The choice of colours is pretty nice too. Also, anyone have any clarification on what this "with Google" thing is about, is it something to do with the multi-manufacturer/multi-nexus information we had a while ago, or is it simply going to be placed on all android phones in future?

"With Google" I suspect it is a branding that is gong to be coming to all devices running JB out of the gate going forward.
As nice as this device looks, is this supposed to compete with the Note 2? It seems to have no extra software tailored to use the extra real estate in any meaningful way over the One S even. Likewise 2000mAh battery on a 1080p screen? Unless the sharp screen technology is extremely energy efficient or I'd be surprised to see the device push 3 hours of screen on time at automatic brightness, which given its push as a media consuming / watching device because of its full HD screen is a bit woeful.
To me the device is a bit like 'the emperors new clothes'.... But damn they are sexy clothes.....

I think you're right, it's neither here or there in terms of size. If they were going to go direct with the Samsung they needed a bigger battery (at least 3000mah) and a 5.5 inch screen. I think this is just a "big phone", not a true phablet.
Holy crap!
That is amazing!
I'd trade in my HOX for that bad boy!
It has seriously good looks, has an MicroSD card slot, yes yes yes!
Onboard storage is lacking but I'm guessing that's to conserve space for the MicroSD slot, so meh...
I wonder how thin and light it is!
Its also called the Butterfly not the Butterly.
If you ask me, and you haven't, but I'll put my two cents worth in anyway! It just looks a little taller than the One X. Width and depth seem similar given the "impression" the pics give. Obviously HTC have more to offer than just a bigger screen unlike Apple with their iPhone 5!!!!
Pixel Density of 440ppi as opposed to the iPhone 5's 326ppi, take that retina display!
D: I hope this comes to Europe it looks amazing!

And nagging devs to optimize games for Tegra3!
I'm almost annoyed I'm in a contract for my HOX now as I know I'm going to want that so hard when it's released!
So much for HTC not diluting the market this year!!!
This phone will also be waterproof, the nexus variant will be released when the LG nexus is announced. It says on the back of the device with google because it probably has the hardware specs that meet the standards of the Nexus program.
Their are a lot if people saying that this phone has with google because it runs jelly bean out the box not true. Their are many device being released with jelly bean with no with google on the back if it.
Another reason why I believe this is a nexus phone because surely when they unveiled it they would have talked about the hardware but they didn't, because if they do then what are they going to talk about when they unveil the nexus edition in the coming weeks. They also have sad this phone will be available during December so why announce it now.
This is HTC's way of hinting they will be releasing a nexus phone. It looks best in black because then the finish of it is not shiny. Another thing I have noticed is the charger port has a flap that obviously points to it being water proof. They have only spoken about the display ppi they haven't spoken about the screen tech. This will only be spoken about when the google nexus phones are unveiled.
This is certainly the best nexus phone coming out easily beating the LG nexus. The only thing I want from this now is a good battery life which I think will be the same as the one x U.S variant, but slightly better since it will have android 4.2 running on it

But why still 8MP camera? Sharp announced 16MP already and I am expecting at least 12MP...

I thought we had moved on from the megapixel myth. Bigger is not always better....
I hope it still has use of the HTC Image Sense chip.
Looks great, but I honestly still like the One X's design better. Also, that new Sense variation looks weird, what with those strange icons on the left.

It's probably customizable, those could be widgets.
