Any thoughts on these two phones? I was planning on getting the GN when it became available on AT&T, and lamenting the lack of a decent HTC phone for upgrade when I heard the announcement of the HTC One X. I've used HTC phones since I started using smart phones, and I like the build quality, however I got burned with the small battery on the Inspire 4G. Now faced with the One X's non removable battery vs the GN with the available extended battery, I'm torn. I'd like to stay with HTC, and I probably will, but I'd hate to get stuck with a phone that's always on a charger like my Inspire 4G.
i dont know about the rest but i have one comment about the Galaxy Nexus
GPU.....two years old GPU
I currently have an HTC Vivid and came from an Inspire. The Vivid has way better battery life than the Inspire. Im gonna be picking up the international One X. With either the Tegra 3 or S4, I think we will see the same if not better battery life than the Vivid with its S3. Im a moderately light user and I've had my battery go 6 hours on standby off the charger before dropping to 99%. I have talked to my wife for an hour straight and only used 3%. I'm also not anywhere near an LTE market, but I don't use mobile data anyway. So I expect it to at least be on par with the Vivid in terms of battery life. Just go into it like I did with the Vivid. If you expect the battery to last as long as the Inspire's battery, you will be pleasantly suprised when it exceeds the Inspire's battery life. For me, I'm expecting battery life equal to my Vivid.

I have to say, HTC One X is lightning forward compare GN, 32gb vs 16gb, htc sense, 8megapixel advance sensor, true 720p none pentrix, better sound quality, bluetooth v4.
Take the One X, even if you don't need the quad core processor, you will enjoy the phone much more.
And you won't have any display problems, SLCD is surely better than the LED..
Sorry guys, but this is the One-X forum.
Comparison threads between devices shhould be in the General-General Forum.

Ok so my question is this...
The HTC One X ( Evo 4G LTE ) will be coming with a 1.5 dual core processor... yet I hope that the SGS3 will come with a Quad Core processor... am I missing something here? Why is the One X being shipped with the same power as our current SGS2? Or can someone educate me on this? Is the One X really more powerful or is it that the U.S. carriers cant afford to sell a quad core phone for $199?
SGS3 is going to have the quadcore 1.5ghz Exerynos (spelling?) processor, apparently that's almost certain. Samsung has a even processor already built ready go that's even better, 2ghz dual-core, but they're saving that for the generation after.
And E4GT has a 1.2ghz processor? How are they the same?
Anyways the main features for the new phone are the HD display and stock ICS and LTE especially.
the architecture is different with transistors and things much closer together on these newer chipsets. just cause its the same clock speed doesnt mean its not better.

Ok so this is what my question was, because they are both dual core phones... that doesn't mean that the ET4G has the same power right?
So how important is this when choosing a new phone in 2012? I am asking because I am looking at the Galaxy Nexus or the Evo 4G LTE.... But from my experience the processor is what makes the phones faster when playing games or loading movies.
The chip in the new evo is the s4 dual core from qualcom. Otherwise known as krait. This chip gives the tegra 3 a run for its money

The chip on the EVO is better but remember that Sense isnt a light skin to carry. The Nexus runs AOSP android and doesnt need much power to run it. In real life theyre both just as smooth as each other.

they need to reinvent the cell phone battery in order to give these new processors the power they need. sure they are more energy efficient but i bet they still gunna drain pretty damn quickly. i would love to have a slim battery that lasts all day. these bulky extended batterys make our phones look like ****

Actually, in theory, a good quad core should win out in terms of battery liFe. More cores at lower frequencies.
As long as software is developed to properly utilize the hardware of course.
...
People buy based on specs. If tegra3 had onboard lte, then HTC would use it without a doubt, even if the s4 is faster and lighter on the battery.
I agree though, I would rather have a dual core processor on my phone. Especially if that means they (manufacturers) will spend more money on a better radio chip set and antenna design.

they could always make the phone a few millimeters thicker and make the battery cover the whole back, or even be the back.. but still have it removable, like my gfs phone the back is the battery, that would make it much larger still be just as slim and Ave like 3x more battery.. this phones pretty thin, if they made it as thick as the droid x or x2 then it would probably have the life of the maxx

I ment that dual core is potentially faster for android . The misconception I try to address is a cpu core exist more or less as a fpu unit, integer unit, cache space and usually other units that function as extensions like sse used to. Just because you have more doesn't mean they are more powerful.... quite the contrary usually out means lower transistor counts per core. What I understood Samsung had touched on is to simplify chip construction just adding say 40% more transistor to a very similar design they just update with newer memory, gpu, radio,etc to address power further smaller construction process like 28Nm I think and more clock states and voltage starts especially to regulate the gpu and memory...... serious weak point in our chipset/ software

The flagship of Samsung is now up and whoa! That is some latest piece of tech.
Specifications:
Samsung Galaxy SIII:
4.8" 720p SUPER AMOLED (pentile) Display.
1.4 GHz Quad Core.
8MP rear / 1.9MP front camera.
2100 mAh battery
16/32GB storage (64 coming soon) with sd card slot.
ICS with Touchwiz 4.0
HTC ONE X:
4.7" 720p Super LCD2 Display.
1.5 GHz Quad core.
8MP rear / 1.3MP front camera.
1800mAh battery.
32GB internal storage with no SD Card slot.
ICS with HTC Sense 4.0
My Opinion:
Well, specs ain't the only thing. The overall performance, feel in hand and overall experience of the phone really counts. I don't think it's a big leap forward as we already know HTC ONE X is a beast in itself.
I prefer HOX because I don't like touchwiz UI of Samsung and the build quality is better in HTC ofcourse.
Many people will go against me and that's how it goes in the world.
* Sense 4.0 is better than touchwiz.
* ImageSense is better than SIII camera.
* 1.5 GHz quad core (penta core to be precise) is better than 1.4 GHz Quad Core.
* The shape is actually better than SIII. Didn't like the shape of SIII (may be it's just me.)
*I'll vote for One X against SIII*
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Buy the one you like. Vote for the one you admire. This sort of competition is good for the new technology. And at the end of the day THE BEST phone is one which is in your hands.
Enjoy your phone. Enjoy the talks.
Like THIS for a compliment.
Would love to listen from you people.
But changeable battery and micros SD. Will probably have to get S3 and sell One x......
Probably....
In no way is the 40nm tegra 3 with the crappy gpu better than the 32nm exynos. Maybe in battery life but that's because the companion core.
I agree with your comments on touchwiz I think it really is an ugly launcher wonder if Samsung have mastered basics such as alphabetically arranging your app bar correct me if I'm.wrong.
Altho sense is heavier it does personally feel more stylish and easy to use and runs nice on the hox.

Already pre-ordered one for those reasons. 40nm Tegra3 or a 32nm Exynos, Exynos wins there and should have better battery management. Love the One X, hate the battery.

Battery isn't a big concern, I think. It gives 20+ hours a day and is better than extended battery 2100mAh of Galaxy Nexus (probably because of fifth core).
Yeah SD CARD may be a big corcern for few but in general sd cards are slow and can cause several errors/glitches in system. May be this was one of the reason HTC preferred dropbox over sd card.

my answers are in the first thread about this. you should go look there.
Ugly design and inferior screen compared to One X and of course still touchwizz.
Glad I did not wait for S3.
I'm glad I got the One X in the end.
The only plus points on the S3 are the expandable storage and slightly larger, removable battery.
Aside from that, the One X has it well beaten for me.
You're talking about the ergonomics and such of a phone you've never even tried yourself. Stop trying to make yourself feel better about your purchase by talking down on another phone. I'm not saying either phone is better, but I knew I'd visit this one x section today and find a thread by a one x owner crapping on the gsIII.

SIII benchmark looks to better
http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-iii-quad-core-benchmarks-blow-us-away-20120503/
Sense 4.0 isn't better than Touchwiz in terms of fluidity and performance. But that is personal preference for which you like, but I wouldn't mind either Sense 4.0 or Touchwiz.
ImageSense isn't better than S3's camera, S3 features a processor itself like ImageSense but better, which is the reason it provides 0 second shutterlag compared to 0.2 - 0.7 second.
Exynos is a true 1.4Ghz, it doesn't scale down like Tegra 3, Single Core 1.5Ghz, Dual Core, 1.4Ghz, 3-4 Core 1-1.2Ghz but the companion core is a plus. But the exynos offers better features such as Power enhancement, the 32nm etc
The shape is your personal opinion. The HTC One X is plastic as well. The white version of Galaxy S3 appeals to me, think it has a metal thing around it and other part is made out of plastic but durable like the HTC One X and Galaxy S2.
Screen goes to HTC One X, easily better than the pentile Super Amoled.
In terms of performance and battery life, the S3 should win, but it doesn't mean that HTC One X is bad. What I said is facts.
I'll be getting it, but i'll be keeping HTC One X as well.
Are you guys nuts! Samsung gs3 will have far less problems than the one x i'm going to have to return my second one x. I've never had to return a phone before nevermind two of the same phones in 2 weeks!
One X looks amazing n s3 looks awful..
One X has a 12 core gpu n s3 a quad core..
Screen of One X is RGB IPS n s3 has the same cheap pentile..
One X has a companion core for battery saving n s3 has nothing like this..
One X has a separate processor for camera n s3 doesn't..
So who rules here man..One X is the daddy of all..
Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
The things the S3 did right that the one X did wrong is a micro SD card slot and a larger removable battery.
The CPU I think will be dependant on application I think tegra 3 will have the edge in some area's the Exynos will win out in others.
Personally I think the One X looks a lot better to, but if the S3 gives S-OFF it will give it another big plus over the One X.
Overall though im glad I have the One X and wont swap, though I cant wait for someone to push out an extended battery (even if I do have to open up my case to fit it).

Well, I did say in OP that I'm just gonna compare it and check out people's reviews. FYI, I'm yet to ONE X. I was waiting for SIII and now I'd definitely go for HOX.
This isn't a thread which is smashing SIII but is gently comparing the two flagships.

Seriously?
GSIII
GSII
Twice the RAM, can handle an SD card twice the size of the S2, the screen is almost a half inch larger, the screen resolution is higher by a long shot (1280x720 vs 800x400) and a larger battery. I'd say the dual-core processor is a non-issue. Aside from benchmarks, you won't be pushing either of these phones enough to truly take advantage of those two cores let alone two more.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the processor is the next gen Snap Dragon S4 whereas the GS2 has the Snap Dragon S3 processor. Newer tech, better use of what it has.

I agree.. I mean our phone kicks ass. But there is not doubt that the S3 is better
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
What's also great about the s3 is how they are identical wit all us variants. The body is the same with all s3 models. Which means development is merged with Sprint atnt n Verizon. Then you have accessories that fit all models which means more to pick from.just overall a better phone not just spec wise.

The s3 does have better hardware, but with the software available, you will notice very little, if any difference in anything you will use your phone for. You could have 8 cores, it's not going to make your phone do anything noticeably better than the s2 or gnex. I think until we get the software to utilize all the cores, the only things that really matter right now are better camera/battery/screen..

I went to t-mobile today to see the phone in person.
First impressions were less than exciting. Even though the resolution is far better, its pixel arrangement makes it look grainy. Ours seems just as sharp from normal hand held position. Also, even though its much faster, ours keeps up with all the current software and games.
On our S2, GTA 3 runs smooth with resolution on high and draw distance about 1/3 (everything else maxed). The S3 could probably handle full resolution and distance, although thats quite a bit more screen space to fill...
I would appreciate a wider variety of accessories and rom options, however ill definatly wait until its cheaper, or see whats next.
Zomg you fools. The s4 krait CPU in the s3 demolishes EVERY SoC out except the quad core exynos. Stop comparing the s4 to the s3 in our phones just because its dual core. Put it this way. The s3 in our phone is the Intel core2duo. The s4 is the Intel core i3. Both dual core but the i3, because of revamped architecture and smaller manufacturing process completely destroys the core2duo. Actually it also out performs core2quads. Cores and MHz don't make the end product. Look up benchmarks and you'll see the s4 has almost twice the performance of any dual core SoC out. Even beats tegra 3...

The s3 has a PenTile display. Pentile = poop. And as far as the processor goes yes is very nice but I think that hardware has gotten to kind of a plateau in that even with the new quad cores out there the performance jump is minimal at best from ours. My Tegra 3 tablet runs ICS equally as well as my Snapdragon S3 and can't tell the difference.

People go overboard with the pentile thing. My epic 4g had a pentile screen. I did notice a difference between that screen and this one but it isn't a deal breaker. A pentile screen at a 720p Res on a 5 inch screen wouldnt noticeable whatsoever. The difference was minimal at 480p. I doubt you'd be able to tell a difference at a high res like that.

it won't be very different on the international S3 either because our OS doesn't even utilize all 4 cores correctly..... and wouldn't 2gb ram be better for multitasking given that the OS optimizes with the utilization of 2 cores.
It might eat up numbers and crunch in more numbers per second but it can't do more things at once than its supposed to. The Intel i3 is a dual core but it's limited to two threads I think and if that use the case do is the core duo. Even though numbers might be able to conceive at the right time if the processes were not stream independent, important things like talking recording downloading streaming and torrent cannot be done any better with a resume boost.

Not sure if you should trade in.
The tegra 3 is really starting to get out-dated IMO. In the end it is your decision. So yeah.
Personally i wouldn't do it.
Not sure if it's a "helping" reply but why don't you consider Nexus4 if you want stock Android experience? You'll get the fastest updates and none of the inevitable bugs from porting stock Android to a device that wasn't supposed to have it. Also Google would not abandon it sometime in the future like CM are doing with Exynos devices (if it's true).

Word. My htc one x screen broke and they told me repair costs 283 euros. Told them to shove it up their ass. 16 euros more and i have a nexus 4. So you should really go for a Nexus 4 if you like CM.
The only problem i have here is the fact that in austria we have no google play store. But hopefully this person i met from germany is trust worthy enough and will send me a nexus 4 once it's out.
Thank u very much guys...i'll skip of buying one x and wait for nexus 4...but here in india we cant buy them through playstore... Lg is going to sell almost double of price here thats what i am fearing about to buy

Personally, I think the One X is better than the Nexus 4. Early benchmarks show that the Nexus has a severely underclocked GPU, and easily overheats, getting throttled even more. The One X also has a better screen IMO.

I wanted to move to nexus 4, rumours say it will be priced at 34-35k here in India, so my plans for upgrade are cancelled atm

34-35 K? I doubt it You should be able to import it at a lesser price than that.

Yeah... You said it.. early benchmarks.
We've seen how the HoX did before and after certain benchmarks. So there's no reason not to believe that it won't be the same in nexus 4's case.
Then you have multiple pros for the Nexus 4:
Bigger battery (2100 mAh) is nothing remarkable. However, 28nm is more power efficient which would mean we should definitely be experiencing a better battery life in the Nexus 4 than on the One X. Even if stand by times won't be as good, the battery life with screen on is going to be better. (see galaxy s3).
For people that want their phone for regular day to day usage, s4 chip is supposed to be better and faster. (EVEN in gaming it's going to stump the Tegra3)
Google getting hands on quad core - that must actually mean that they will actually do their best to optimize their phone to run quad-core. And since it is google we are talking about i can imagine them doing a great job.
First to get updates (reason enough to go for the Nexus 4 over the one x)
IPS screen (supposed to be among the best)
Really. What more can i say. There's one thing i don't doubt, and that's the fact that the tegra 4 is going to be better battery wise and faster. However, i don't feel like waiting for a tegra 4 device and to top it off, you actually need a manufacturer that makes the best out of it. For people who are not into gaming, they probably won't notice much of a difference. At the pace that google is improving their OS i just can't make up for excuses to stay with other manufacturers.

Well, technically the S4 pro does stump the Tegra 3 in gaming, but Tegra 3 has more optimized games in Play Store so therefore Tegra wins. The SLCD2 is also better than the IPS in some reviews, and the underclocked GPU is also very apparent is some benchmarks.

One major flaw though, only 8GB or 16GB internal memory and no expansion slot.
