Glad I choose HOX over Galaxy S3 - all rumors over - HTC One X

Galaxy s3 was announced today. It has some cool features like stay awake while reading etc... But I believe one x is definitely a better phone.
They chose such ugly colors and the touchwiz interface sucks still.

I knew that new galaxy wouldnt be that good, i was laughing at kids saying "htc you have two weeks to reign, because the next galaxy will come and will kick your ass". Seriously 2gb of ram and 12mp would be next generation like 2013 or even later, that was totally absurdish rumours.

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..

Im goner be getting one.Looks pretty good to me.

Yep,
So much for 4.6inch to make it a higher ppi ....
So much for 2gb ram & so much for 12mp camera.
All dreams, rumours are just that ... Rumours.
My biggest disappointments are the clamshell look of the back of the phone, & the OS ... I expected a overhaul of touchwiz as I left my SGS2 because of touchwiz on their awful ICS release, yet it looks the same.... (TW was great on GB, but their ICS release was awful to me)
HTC really did produce their A-Game, specs are very similar - more so in the US snapdragon versions.

Which phone did you have before the One X

Hey guys,
So which phones did you guys have before upgrading to the HTC One X?
And if you're planning to buy one, which phones do you currently have?
As for me, I had the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i, so its a big jump, from a 1GHz single core device to a 1.5GHz Quad-core device the Play had a 5mp camera and 512MB RAM(lol)

Coming from an SGS2 and an N8.
HOX is now my only device, and my second HTC after the Desire.
Beautiful piece of kit.
DHD > SGS2 > T-Mobile Rapport (after selling SGS2 waiting for HOX) > SGS (after selling Rapport waiting for HOX) > HOX (My android history)
Before that BB 9700, and various other handsets probably had over 20 handsets.
I9000, also big jump.

HTC sensation xe and iPhone 4s. This trumps either with ease, they both had horribly bad battery life counter to what most 4s owners say. Sense on the xe seemed to crash every 10 min... so annoying.

Upgraded my HTC Touch HD (since 2008) to the One X.
Major improvement!
Well directly coming from iPhone 4. I mean having an iPhone and its retina, anything less is bad (yes I mean you sneaky lying Samsung) so the htc One X after iPhone is the best way I could have gone!
But there was in between a Galaxy Note for 2 weeks which I had to sell as the AMOLED (with Pentile) made me die a little inside as I was looking at it.
(Was the second time I gave AMOLED a go, and made me regret after 2 mins I started the phone)
Before SGS, htc Hero. (and countless not smartphones except the XDA Stealth)
upgraded from HTC Desire. Still miss it sometimes...
HTC Desire, I loved it, but i hated it's limited memory/space for apps

Just picked up an S3!!!

Hey gys, i have a T3 HOX, and today i picked up an S3 form orange as all i had to pay was about 80bucks with one of our company lines. I got the pebble blue one, i had the white one in my hand but its just too much white plastic for my taste. I honestly think the HOX is a better built phone, just from holding it in my hand. BUt out of the box the S3 seems a lot more snappier. DO you guys think this will be addressed in future updates??Im waiting on some updates before i root and fash the phone, to give HTC a chance to improve things before i tinker with it, heck out of the box i thought my CM9 SGS2 was snappier. I do think programs load quickly its ust the user interface that lags a bit. Please et me know what you uys think as i can sell my sgs2 and keep both the s3 and HOX or i can sell one of them. M just waiting on a good time to tinker witht hem before i decide. BTW i do love the camera on the HOX.
Regards, and thanks!!
I had the same feeling with my S2. I missed the deep blacks and it felt smoother. Looks like Sense 4 has sometimes a tiny lag even with Ultra smooth Rosie enabled.
After a few days my eyes adjusted to the HOX blacks and after seeing the amazing resolution and great whites I forgot about my SGS2!!!
About the lag try Apex launcher it eliminated the lag for me and now my HOX flies!
How do you rate the SGS3 screen vs the One X? I'm curious.

android revolution stock Rom based on the leaked new base, ultra smooth Rosie, die hard supercharger patch and Franco kernel = the way should have released the One X in terms of smoothness, speed and gaming performance
IM actually waiting on the 4.0.4 OTA to see if that improves anything and if so then ill flash a Rom based on the official OTA. CAuse i know XDA and its members are surely able to unlock the power of that T3 SOC

Like you wanna say Touchwiz isn't crap? The most sucky stock launcher on all android phones.
@Op,
What´s S3, is that a HTC phone?
Probably it's very hard for you to search the correct forum for your device.
A tip, the SEARCH BUTTON is on the top right corner of you screen, do a search and count how many of these threads already exist.
And maybe reading the Forum rules wouldn't harm you as well, they are on top of every forum.

Also using this test base, totally different phone. Also turned off window and transitions effects, in Dev options.
One of the bugs listed in the S3 forums says that tounchwiz eats so much ram that it keeps crashing and resetting. So Samsung have there probs with there products just like HTC have with there's, all they both need is time, and things will be fixed

I have a Galaxy Nexus (same screen technology as the S3) and a HOX, and with the two side by side, GNEX display looks really bad. You can see the pixalization of the pentile screen (density on the S3 is less than the GNEX so it will be even worse) and the white is covered with dots. True, the black is better on the SAMOLED, but if you want to look at a black screen, don't switch your phone on . Colors are definately better on the HOX and IMHO the overall experience of the screen is better.

Touchwiz is ugly but it's functional and doesn't bog down the phone unlike sense
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I would recommend anyone using HOX to change the launcher to Apex/Nova/etc. The difference is huge. 0 lag. No problems with Live wallpapers, etc.
Not to mention that the S3 can apparently burst into flames & melt... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=79312161&utm_source
I also got to see the s3 yesterday, my thoughts were "what's all the fuss about". Side by side the screen is not a scratch on our hoax and the build is horrible compared to my galaxy tab let alone the hox - it felt cheap, a bit like a kinder egg toy to me.
The short time I played with the phone overall the speed seems ok - not that much difference to the hox, but the touch wiz is horrible to say the least.
The only real advantage is removable sd card and battery, also Samsung know how to push hard with advertising thus all the frenzy.
I was going to chop my hox in and get the s3 but I'm not going to bother now and instead wait for the next generation but this time I will make sd card and battery removable a deal breaker.

Hello my nerds!
My question is simple, maybe a bit stupid but what'so'ever:
What's your opinion 'bout the device (HTC ONE X)? I'm going to upgrade my old htc desire with one after the Samsung S3 is released but an ugly piece of plastic-stuff.
Is this piece of HTC intelligence SEXY OR WHAT?

JUST REMEMBER,
you interact with the screen the most
and the one x has got a hell of a good screen

The one x is the better choice believe me. Above everything else you should look at a manufacturers past performance. Samsung are woeful when it comes to releasing updates, whereas HTC keep dedicated teams on each model for two years and updates are regular.
Another reason is sense 4. It is the best android launcher ever.

I heard something about nvidia tegra 3 update in this thread, is it real? will nvidia update drivers for tegra 3 in one x ? becouse now i think it is kind of lame, so much power and still has some lags in the glowing ball app which is made for tegra 3 ....
I upgraded from the Desire to the HOX & haven't regretted it once, when i saw the SGS3 i was glad i never waited.
The screen on the HOX is far superior & the HOX feels like a superior phone too, besides although the HOX had minor overheating until the first updates they weren't as bad as this.

Re: What is your next phone after HOX and NO A-OFF
To be honest my first android phone was HTC ,I had all the phones with all the problems you mentioned ,I think I need to get away to Samsung phones and see the performance ,get accustomed with rooting and all with Samsung and then decide if its worth it ,cause honestly I couldn't care less about sense and built quality if performance and battery life is good ,the end of the day phone life is 2 years.im Sure a plastic Samsung will last 2 years rather than good built quality with component deffects and all the crap that HTC is doing now

No more HTC i'm done with them. I might go for Xperia XL or any other device .. Maybe the next MIUI device rumored with T4.
I dont know yet, i have hox and sg3, so i guess no one this year, no more HTC for sure... No soff, so, by htc. Gonna break for sure, at least phones. Will keep building only windows phones, so i predict competition with nokia only.
So the only brand is Sony and Samy, Sony will see no updates as it should, son maybe ending with Samsung.
Thanks for everything Htc, great phone, tegra is great on gaming but battery sucks in JB. Uncontrolled ota, ruu encrypted.. And more.. But well, hox still a great phone but .won't buy an htc phone anymore. Even if they give us SOFF.
And i dont lie.

If S4 has awesome design then I ll go for it. Otherwise HOX until sth nice pops up!

Unless HTC goes back to its glory days, this November I am getting a GS4 or the GNote 3.
I'm done with HTC. If I want to have a expensive peace of crap I will buy a IPhone. Because of there strategie to keep the devices locked within the future they should keep this trash!
I'm waiting for my Note2.

HTC One Advice needed.

Hello guys. I am a N4 user and have been since October. I had a HTC one S before this and loved it. I decided to buy a N4 16GB to see what the hype was and I'm not sure if I'm happy with it to be honest.
I am a HTC fanboy really. Had the HTC Desire when it came out and loved it.
What I am asking is stepping down to HOX will it be ok. I mean the N4 does a lot but the Camera is terrible. Would I be silly to sell my N4 and go back to a HTC handset.
Just looking for honest advice really.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It would be really god damn silly.
You'd have tons o' problems: bad battery life, no S-OFF, etc
Never do such a horrible thing, One X is previous generation and already getting oldish...
I, however, would switch to N4 any day if I had the chance.
TToivanen is right
The N4 is a great device
HOX is great as well, but not for developers
I AM an HTC fan boy myself , but to be honest I wish I had N4
so
HOX:
-bigger storage, 32GB
-sense (if you planning not to flash AOSP ROMS)
-camera is slightly better (some might think)
-tegra 3
-better design
-beats audio
N4:
-AMZINGLY FAST UPDATES
-though they are both 1.5 quad, but N4 is way faster
-2 GB of ram
-better stability
-louder speaker
-faster WIFI (I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT)
-better battery life
I would choose N4
Nexus 4 is better than the One X unless you're looking for a slower device.
