There's already other threads on this. Please search next time.

If you want to have jellybean as soon as its released keep gnex for now otherwise you can get one x.but keep in mind that there is nothing that one x can do and your nexus cant.atleast for now.just slower
Also you might want to see what samsung brings on the table

I sold my AT&T note yesterday to get a unlocked Galaxy Nexus. Thought about getting a one X but I mean a almost $800 unlocked price is a bit crazy for a HTC I think.
Plus I never used a HTC and even though sense 4.0 looks cool I'm not a big fan. I Bought a nexus to get the pure ICS experience without a overlay.
If anything wait for the Galaxy S3 if your gonna drop $800. Oh and beats by Dre mehhhhhhh. I'm not 18 lol.

huh? Try mid to high $600's. Don't think they'd put their pre-order price like $150 too low. https://negrielectronics.com/htc-one-x-32gb-unlocked-white.html#.T34Bcr9WoVc

Probably a good idea.
OP, no one can tell you what to do. And you know people here are biased to the GNex.

Two words.....Jelly Bean! But no worries, you'll get it next year! Lol

The way I see it the cons are:
- slow updates from HTC
- no Super AMOLED screen
- Sense
- bloatware apps
- capacitive buttons (may be a - or + for you)
- power button on the top (personally I like it on the side, good for people with smaller hands too)
- non removable battery
and you don't get the awesome multicolored notification light on the Galaxy Nexus.

No Super Amoled Screen
After using a Super Amoled screen I can't use anything else!

You shouldn't be so quick to bash the SLCD2 on the new HTC's. Its being regarded as the best screen out there right now. Laminated (no gap), better viewing angles, better colors, and almost as deep of blacks as AMOLED, but full RGB 720P.

LOL. No joke. I had an Evo 4G and a G2, both of which had poor build quality (good materials shakily put together) and needed replacement (G2 once, the Evo several times over). Got my GNex and its solid and well built. I always found it funny that people regarded HTC for their build quality and I never thought they were miles ahead or anything, especially based on my experiences.
HTC has apparently stepped up its game on these models, though.

My fault. When I was looking a few days back a few places had them at around $760 or something. The non removable battery is a big deal on a android device usually because of the phones power and screen. Well really with any phones now of days including the 4S. Now the iPhone 4 had awesome battery life. But that besides the point.
I'd say hold off.

Actually, you should be our guinea pig and buy one. Then you can let us know +'s/-'s of the two.

I would get the HTC ONE because of the sexy hardware. Yeah people will say it sucks having HTC 4.0 sense but who cares. Custom roms will take care of that and alot of software issues which can always be altered. When hardware on smartphones can not.

IMO why not to get the One X, because you will regret it when the SGS3 drops.
Normally I don't like the “there is going to be something better" mentality, but the SGS3 is literally around the corner. At least hold off until we know more about the SGS3

I don't know about the others, but my HTC Droid Incredible was solid. Still have it and it's still a well built phone. Regardless, I'd stick with the Nexus or wait for the SIII.

the only feature i like in the ONE x is the 4 frames per second feature in the camera. but our phone camera is still quite fast.

Ah, I guess I will have to go see the SLCD2 for myself when the One phones finally hit. Have you heard anything about the screen's drain on the battery? AMOLED is supposed to be more battery sufficient isn't it?
And I agree on the HTC build quality. The materials they use are usually excellent, but on some of their phones the actual quality of the build leaves something to be desired. The only thing I see people disliking the most on Samsung phones is the plastic they use. I haven't heard any complaints on the actual quality of the build though.

AMOLED is actually not always so frugal on battery. It only does well when you have a dark UI or dark background (because individual pixels can turn off). It actually drains very high when you use high brightness levels. SLCD2 isn't going to be any better or worse I don't think. It's still going to be the largest drain by far on your device, especially at 720P and 4.7".

The way I see it, if u keep waiting for the "next better phone",you're gonna be waiting infinite amount of time because you'll hear information on a phone like the One X (for example) and when that comes out there will be info on the s3 and then you'll wanna wait for that, and then when that comes around to being released, the new Nexus will be rumored and you'll wanna wait for that and so on and so forth....pointless! Just buy a phone and use it! If u want the next one, sell yours and pay the difference! IMO, the smart thing to do is stick with a nexus if you're not into bloatware and plus development will be booming with every nexus! So many factors come in to buying a new phone, it sucks but cell phones are ruling the world right now!
And yeah I know quad core is all the rage but I've said it before and I'll say it again, these phones can't get any faster in terms of transitions and such lol! Yeah you'll notice on benchmarks and hardcore games, but that's what the ps3 and 360s are for (and ps4 and 720 next year) and get real! Nobody will care that your phones scores higher on a benchmark than someone else's if their running the same damn software!

[Q] galaxy nexus or htc one s?

hey guys, so i got a fido upgrade coming up, should i go with the htc one s (should be releasing soon) or galaxy nexus?
i'm just going to be using it as a daily phone, just the regular stuff. i'm kind of hesitant on the htc phone seeing how the htc one x has so many issues.
opinions/thoughts?
thanks!

I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus even though I have serious issues with the display. There doesn't seem to be anything in the One S that would make it better than the GN. Battery life and camera perhaps?
Personally at this point I'm waiting quite eagerly what will the Galaxy S III be. SAMOLED HD+ perhaps?

Depends what you want.
One s had awesome build quality and feel with the micro arc oxidation body. Super slim with a smaller screen. It had a faster processor but the screen quality is worse. Lower resolution. Sense with less developer support most likely.
Galaxy nexus has a better screen with better developer support and will get jelly bean much quicker

don't think fido would be getting the S3, they don't have much of a phone selection there anyways, usually i just buy phones online, but since i had an upgrade thought might as well decide between the htc and GN.

I'd say go with the Nexus One S.
Or if that isn't available the Galaxy Nexus, best phone on the market even with it's "Uber outdated sucky" specs.

I'm just going to tell everyone to get the device that is NOT the Galaxy Nexus.

If the one x had a verizon version about a month ago...i would have taken it the day it came out...stupid contracts

I'm very satisfied with my Galaxy Nexus, great Display and Vanilla Android. And of course you get updates much faster. I had HTC Legend and Galaxy S before and was always waiting a long time for newer versions. The camera of the Nexus is also damn quick. I will only buy Google branded devices in the future.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using XDA

Pick the One S for the specs.
The krait processor is around 30% faster than the A9 processor found in the Galaxy Nexus.
But, if you love Amoled screens and early updates then the Galaxy Nexus is a good choice too.
Both are great phones but the One S is newer, and hence has the benefits of a newer phone.

Three main points:
- Pentaband (I have been on T-Mo for 7 years and have no intention o fleaving)
- Development support
- Largest screen I can get
That means Galaxy Nexus... for now...

The Samsung note has a bigger screen.
Anyways I'd choose the gnexus. Just cause its guaranteed updates. Whereas every other phone relies on carrier to push that to you unless you manually update it and at that your still waiting for a carrier somewhere in the world to give an update. And we all know how good they are at doing that... Unless your going to be using ported roms which just aren't as good as something made specifically for the device. IMO your not going to get any phone a whole lot better than the gnexus right now. Minorly better, but not leaps and bounds. Plus, your getting ics on the gnexus, which makes everything a lot easier, and for whatever dumbass reason, still isn't out officially for other devices on a global scale.

For me it's hard to say Gnex or One S/X. I've got nexus from few weeks and it's Superb, but i never have my hands on One S/X to compare with Gnex. When you get phone with contract by internet/on-line shop you've got 14 days to change your mind. So take Nexus first and try it for couple days, then send it back to the shop and take One S/X and try it as well as Nexus. Then i'm sure you'll find out what is the best "one" for you.
All best.

I'm in sort of the same sittuation, the difference would be the phone is both, daily use and development phone.
So far, the cons and pros I have managed to grab are:
HTC One X:
+ great display IPS2 with better color reproduction and possibly better battery life
+ policarbonate body and Gorilla Glass 2 makes a strong point in quality of construction
+ good camera especially after latest updates
+ Quad core processor which means for at least 2 years the phone will keep its head up
+ Sense UI from the regular user point of view
+ capacitive button's which don't take screen space so the image displayed is trully 720p
- Senese UI from a developer's point of view
- many user seem to have reception problems and with 4.0.4 update, on standby it looses connection.
- Power button seems to be not so convenient placed
- probably slower updates on new Android versions
- for now games need to be optimised for Tegra platform
Galaxy Nexus:
+ android vanilla
+/- pentile superAmoled display
+ power button easy to reach
+ browser and flash seems smother than on HTC
- hardware can be considered old with only dual core processor and same GPU as S1
- camera quality quite bad
- no gorilla glass, but some enforced glass but users complain about scratches easily made
- cheap plastic body easy to scratch or crack
- buttons on screen taking from 720p resolution and it seems that no other company went this
way, both HTC and Samsung are still using capactive buttons
- low speaker volume
- bad battery life, especially on browsing
I really don't know what to get. Difference between Nexus (taken free of contract) and One X (with 12 months contract) is around 100$, in favor of Nexus.

[Q] One X or SGS3? 3rd May - ANNOUNCED

So the Samsung Galaxy S3 is being announced in a few weeks time, I am really tempted to return my One X and wait it out. Any others who feel the same?
Update: Looks like there has been a proper leak this time:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/galaxy-s-iii-leak/
I can't say I am impressed?????
Update: 3rd May -
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview-hands-on/
Features are fabulous, not sure about the design???

All the rumors point to the galaxy s3 having a hardware home button now . If this is the case I will definitely be keeping my One X. If not, I'll have to compare the specs and see which one I prefer to hold.

Nah. Well IF Samsung totally remade tw and the design of the phone I might consider it IF it shows that the Samsung is a MUCH bettet device. If not? Ill pass.

It's a tough one.
I had the Galaxy S2, then got the Galaxy Nexus. I sold the Nexus and went back to the S2, I loved this phone. I think the camera on the S2 is better than the one X.
So with this in mind, Samsung can only improve upon the phone. I am in a pickle! Keep or return.
I'll probably end up keeping this and then pick up the S3 when it is released. Rumored specs sound pretty good!

almighty shadowgun THD just told me never!

Probably not. Slightly better specs won't mean anything if Samsung continue to use the cheapest and nastiest materials possible to encase their phones. They use the exact same cheap, flimsy and thin glossy plastic for all of their phones from the dirt-cheap Europa to their flagships.

Definitely not.
I have a gtab 10.1 and a galaxy s WiFi 5.0.
That's enough Samsung for me

I thought the S2's camera was really bad in low light conditions, in similiar conditions my iphone 4 was able to take acceptable photos. one X's camera does well in low light too.
what really annoyed me was samsung's touchwiz on ICS for the S2. I really like the stock ICS theme and that really ruined it for me, i don't think it even used the new roboto font.
am really happy with the one X, but also quite excited to see what the S3 will bring!

I was about to buy it but with those soooo many problems I decided to wait for the SGIII and see it then decide. At least see if HTC gonna do something about the One X problems

I'll wait and see, having One X in hand makes it easy to wait for announcement and test results
Besides, it's difficult to imagine how would S3 be better. It would have to have 1080p screen or 8 core CPU or massively better GPU. The last one is possible but it won't have as good support as nvidia's Tegra3 has. It won't have dedicated games like THD and it won't have dedicated market like nVidia Tegra Zone.

I don't care how good the specs on sgs3 are, this phone is so amazing. And damn i love the fact that this phone is a mystery still. I love this thing already, but updates will probably be something out of this world. Galaxy S3 will just get stuck to tw5 unlike htc One x will get sense 4.1+

I came from a i9100. I got the One X vs. waiting for the SGS3 because we don't know when it will be available (an announcement isn't an actual release). If history repeats itself, trying to get one from the initial batches will be downright painful and expensive.
Spec wise, what more could possibly be added to it that's not offered in the One X? I'm sure the displays will be about the same size and the SGS3 will have SAMOLED HD Plus (non-Pentile). But the colors will once again be exaggerated but not necessarily better and it'll be harder to use in bright daylight. It may be thinner than the One X but may not feel better in the hand (SGS2 vs. Sensation). The quad-core Exynos will be faster than Teg3 but in all but benchmarks how much more speed does a phone need when the OS and apps aren't able to take advantage of it? There were some rumors of it supporting S-Pen which if true would be a cool feature.
The biggest issue and difference between them may end up being battery life. Because of AMOLED and the move to 32nm from 45nm (it's still A9 vs. A15 though) it will be a more efficient phone. And it may have a removable battery. My One X doesn't seem to have the issues a lot of others do so battery life right now is my biggest concern.
By selling my SGS2 now I'll get more for it than after the SGS3 becomes available. The One X should still hold its value fairly well even after the SGS3's launched so I'll lose less if I decide to get and SGS3 than if I skipped the One X all together.
So far I'm happy with the One X. And if any of you think that the SGS3's launch will be flawless and bug free dream on. Once again a new device will launch with a new and untested chip on a new OS using a new overlay (TW4). If the GN's an example, the SGS3 home page will look much like ours until a couple of updates are pushed out. Samsung delayed the launch of the G-Tab 2's because of ICS issues and they are much simpler devices. I don’t think the grass will be greener on the other side, just different.

so i really dont understand the concept of "build quality" of some people

I'm getting my One X sent back and replaced due to flimsy build, if the replacement is as shoddily made I'll be jumping ship altogether.

Build quality of my SGSII wa excellent, just like Galaxy Nexus. Don't mistake build quality with materials quality. Might look plasticky, but was rock solid and reliable.
SGS3 might have Pen and better battery life thanks to shrank down cores, but I don't think I want to go back to AMOLED just yet, even if it's Plus. I need to see side by side comparisons first.

Loved my SGS2 but disliked TW. Sense > TW. If they have a complete revamp on TW5 then might consider. What if the next Galaxy line is WP8? Just imagine the stir caused lol.
Patiently waiting to see what the next range will have to offer guess we'll see a SGS2+ to compete with One S and a bigger brother to compete with One X.
Guessing SGS3 will be quad based on the 4412, 1-2gb of RAM, 4.65" screen Super AMOLED Plus HD, thinner than the One X, battery life that will excel, NFC, coating that is water proof.
Who knows.... love my HOX for the time being!

No, no and NO!!!
I don't believe in madly chasing technology jumping from one device to the next just because of better hardware specs. Actual device capability, and not on-paper specs, should be the reason for an upgrade (IMHO). I don't understand why would I ever want to return my One X (not that I can even if I wanted to ).
Reasons:
I LOVE the display. Cannot emphasize this more. Even if SIII has a full HD display, it would not make me love this display any less.
Form factor: The screen size, thinness, curves, surface finish - in short, everything about the One X body feels perfect to me.
Rational thinking. There's no app out there in the market (nor there will be in the next year or two) that the One X cannot run (based on capability, not compatibility). Even if SIII has a much faster processor, the One X is already so fast that the difference would be marginal, barely noticeable, if at all.
Now, why would I ever give up my One X?

Own a Galaxy Note but..

I'm a click away from buying this phone.
Anyone come from the Note? The One X worth it.

I have both since last week.
Note has bigger screen, which is better for e-reading, browsing, games.
One X fits better to the hand ('cause it's smaller); is faster in some very specific tasks (like indexing a stardict DICT to Fora dictionary), but overall in normal games and browsing, it's the same as Note; handle 1080p videos better than Note.
My One X has a yellowish screen, so take this thread I created yesterday with a grain of sault, since many One X's have normal white screens.

anyways wait till the s3 comes out and then compare and go for the one you want...i know which one i would be looking at though

I've had the one x since release and about 2 days later my wife got a galaxy note. To be perfectly honest, in the current state of both devices (both latest available releases) I can't find anything remotely better about the one x over the note. In fact I am quite embarrased to show my device to my wife after the build up I gave to her about it.
The only possible reason that I can think of for you to chose the one x right now is if all your trowsers have small pockets.

Sell up and get the Note lol

Had the note which I was very happy with and now own the one x. I do prefer the one x over the note even with the issues because it suits my needs better. Also I hate tw and plastic feel to note. Personally if i were you i would wait for gs3 and then make a decision.
So I

I'll swap with you!!
Second thoughts....I can't admit that my wife has a better device than me. I'll just have to pretend for the time being and hope things improve.

As others have said, stick with the Note and wait to see what the SGS3 has to offer, or for HTC to iron out all the software/build issues the One X has right now.

Yeah will stick to the Note. I'm running Stunner rom anyways so its near enough stock android. I'll check the Galaxy S3 and see if that's worth jumping ship.

Gave my note to my son but am contemplating switching with him. Great device but the battery life simply is pathetic. Hopefully an update will solve the battery life issue but if it doesn't am going back to the note with the bigger screen and decent battery life.

Get the HOX best phone I've had, no problems at all, had several android phones and tablets and this just obliterated all of them.

Stick with the Note
recklesslife,
Stick with the Note and wait for the SGIII. Your a Samsung user and use to the TW. Further, its in the heads of the general public that Android's best phone is from Samsung (SGII). Therefore, the anticipation for the SGIII to best all smartphones including the IPhone is given. Even though HTC fans won't like it. The marketing Samsung has put into the SG line is great all over the world. HTC needs a more complete package in terms of marketing and reliability of their phones.

Most of you say keep the Note. So I guess that's what I'll do. Was tempted to buy the One X. Can't knock the note really so don't know why I want to get a different phone. One X does look nice..

I owned a Note but as of about 5 mins ago I don't have it anymore but I would say go with the One X. I find the One X is far superior to the Note in every area except for pure screen size. For me I would rather have a better screen than a bigger screen. Oh and touchwiz isn't as heavy as sense nor as buggy as sense 4.0

Hate Touchwiz and hate phones with an overly plasticy finish. Why I ended up switching from a GSII to a Sensation.
I you plan to root though, doesn't really make much difference what phone you go for.

I was considering the G-Note also. I wanted something with a larger screen coming from a SGS2. My first choice was actually the Eluga Power. It has a much more modern processor, runs ICS out of the box, and has a smaller form factor than the G-Note. Unfortunately (for me), it only supports EU HSPA bands. But at the end of the day the G-Note really is older tech and just a gigantic SGS2 with S-Pen.
Here's a dimensions comparison:
Samsung Galaxy Note - 146.9x83x9.7mm, 178g
Panasonic Eluga Power - 136x70x9.6mm, 133g

No offence to G-Note fans, but they look ridiculous when you hold them to your ear and you can't constantly wear a BT headset to avoid having to use it that way. I also have a 3G tablet so decided that 4.7ish" (HOX, GN, SGS3) was just more practical. Also, Samsung's release of ICS for the SGS2 has been a cluster so I can't imagine the G-Note's being any better.
Just some food for thought…

Note was launched on Oct. Obviously it will be outdated in terms of specs. Were you expecting otherwise?
GN is even more outdated. HOX can't even better iP4s in terms of GPU (forget about new iPad). We have no clue SGS3 -- is it called SGS3 or something else??
Which company have been any better in terms of ICS update? How many HTC/Moto/SE phones have been updated? Most people here don't prefer OEM skins anyway. So if someone is going to root and ROM, why bother about OEM release? You are not going to use it anyway. I can understand for the general mass, but for most people in the XDA, I don't think it's a valid argument.
I would say stick to what you think is best for you. No point in forcing my views and preferences. I have seen people happier with their dumb phones compared to other guys with expensive smart phones.

You need to tell us what experiences you want from a mobile before we can advise one way or the other. I have both so can give you a realistic idea about how each stack up in the areas of importance for your use.
I'm going to be writing a review for the One X for the Telecom Tech blog, and will compare it a lot to the Note, which I already reviewed at my site here (the most comprehensive review on the internet at 17,000 words, well worth reading and a good backdrop to the incoming One X review).

Gnex to One X back to Gnex

Honestly, it's good to be back. The One X is a fine piece of hardware. Love the camera software, love the screen. Hate the placement of the power button, but that's another story.
The completely broken multitasking on the One X drove me back to my Gnex and I'm very glad to be using it again. Seriously, it's nice when the phone just works the way it's supposed to.
Too bad HTC didn't do a little better quality control before releasing the One X, unless they intended multitasking to work that way, which is even worse.
Anyway, I was never unhappy with my Gnex and now that I have seen that the grass is not greener on the One X side, I will be sticking with it.

Oh the button placement...when will HTC learn? Also, harware buttons....EW

Welcome back OP
I heard that HTC heavily restricted the multitasking on the One X. Is that the problem why you come back?
I've only had a chance of playing around with the One X in store demo cases. I do agree with you on the screen though. It's gorgeous.
If someone could run vanilla ICS on the One X then it would be godsend.

I just ordered the nexus. Looks like I did the right choice. =)

Welcome back OP I was in the fence to get this or the Evo LTE but I like so much more AOSP that I prefer this over better screen or camera

Yeah always hated power button on top, especially on these large phones, really hard for one handed operation.
And in the ICS age should be software buttons nit hardware anymore.
Only other phone that interests me besides the Nexus, is the Nexus-Four, but that beast is 6 months away.

Nice to have you back on the WINNING team lol.
I've heard the one series is pretty disappointing. I played with the One S at T-Mobile the other day and I was disgusted... comparing it to my old sensation i dont see where the improvement is...
The screen sucks. Sense 4 sucks. Coolest thing about it was the recent apps window and we have that now through AOKP. Long story short I'm glad I got the gnex over any of the One series phones. I can't even believe I was considering the One X at one point... damn quad core

So many ppl jumped on the one x bandwagon. I played with it and don't know what the hype is all about. Other than the attractive poly carbonate shell, nothing about it was that much better than the gnex.

I think the only thing I'd ever abandon my Gnex for would be a Galaxy S III

Welcome back comrade
The only thing I really hate about my Nexus is the damn location of the headphone jack!
Why did they decide to put it at the bottom?!! it makes sense on the ipod but NOT a massive 4.6" screen phone!

I played with one the other day and it still had that sense lag and lack of smooth functioning. That's why I bailed on HTC. It's a shame since the hardware and screen are great.
What's the limitation of multitasking? How's it different from the gnex?

That was my thought, too, but after seeing more reports that the US version won't have the Exynos processor, I don't think its as appealing to me, anymore.

No way would I do that...
But then again, I pre-ordered a Nokia 808, so anything's possible.
If I like Symbian (all over again) I'll keep the 808. If not, and I can deal with the microSIM adapter, I'll use both my GNEX and 808.
Interesting times we live in...but it's very hard to beat the GNEX for sure.

I would never change my Gnexus for a SIII. Only chance is for the next Nexus. Pure AOSP is always awesome.

Restricted is not the word. It's completely broken. Like it kills everything you have running in the background, even streaming music. And it does not even save the states of the apps like iOS does. In its current state, it's completely unusable.

I also went through this cycle.. Despite the HTC ONE X having an amazing screen and good battery life, i still found my GN to be much better.. Non-hardware buttons FTW!
It was my first HTC, and i've got to say, I really do not like the UI. Don't mean to hate, just not for me. Also found that the UI kept re-drawing for some reason.. I used Apex Launcher and even removed all the widgets from HTC stock Sense Launcher and it kept re-drawing which was annoying.. Never happened to me on any other phones..
Ended up selling my ONE X.. and super happy with my GN still

So what was wrong with the multitasking? I haven't used one, but it seems to me that something with that much power under the hood should be better at multitasking than the GNex. Did it lag? Did it close apps so you had to start over when you jump back to them?

It refreshes every time you reenter the app or Web Page, very annoying, sold my vzw gnex for this but now I'm considering ordering a gnex off Google play and returning my hox don't get me wrong the screen and camera are phenomenal but there are bugs which I'm sure will probably be addressed in the future ota.

I never consider One S because:
1. non-removable battery
2. $600 no contract
3. less developer support
4. only quad HSPA

battery lasts pretty long, and new One S can be found for low-mid $400s
