OneX vs GS3 GPU performance

Although Exynos has the better CPU, the GPUs are quite similar in performance (3D) according to these Antutu scores:

Leaked benches before the S3 launch indicate some advantage though
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...9364#1-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-with-ARM-Mali-400

I think there are enough HOX vs SG3 threads already in here..why create a new thread just to discuss one aspect of the phone >.>

Yawn.

SGS3 is 20% faster when the HOX is in battery save mode. So what?
Or haven't you seen the image closely? The HOX's battery is low. Also if the HOX has been used for a while, the temperature might have been up and the scores are lower. The highest I've had on mine is 11.4k, someone posted with 11.9k (that was on 1.28).
Edit: phonearena DOT com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-rocks-Quadrant-AnTuTu-and-NenaMark-2-benchmark-tests_id29795
Here the SGS3 has 11.4k. I can hardly say that this counts as "faster".

Yep,
Sgs3 scored 11.4k on AnTuTu, yet my HOX gets 12k
My HOX isn't even running 4.0.4 like the sgs3 is, so - read into this as you like.

Plus, we're getting these scores using a Gingerbread kernel, so IF or WHEN htc release a true ICS kernel for the Tegra 3 one X, maybe our performance will increase, who knows.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.
As I've been a Galaxy S user through the 1st & 2nd models, over in the Samsung forums - they too, see AnTuTu as the best & most accurate bench software.
So, if our HOX is already matching (& in some cases beating) the SGS3, with a lower android OS version & operating on a gingerbread kernel, I really don't see the massive improvement that the exynos offers over our tegra 3 device.
.... At least not in this case.
- plus, at least we get an exclusive range of nvidia optimized games too.

the point is that exynos has an overall advantage (slight, not overwhelming) over the T3 but while generating less heat and therefore eating less battery (which is already very large by comparison)
so if they'd run antutu in loop mode, the GS3 will keep running it long after OneX died
all in all, exynos the better CPU with comparable GPU, give them credit where credit is due.

Seriously? Who cares about benchmarks.....They are too inconsistant!
Both great devices and fast as hell. Theres nothing more to say about it....

Back in the days regarding the PC gfx battle, there 3dfx, ATI and nVidia, and nVidia beated them all one by one. And I was the first who jumped to use Geforce 256. What make me comfortable even at present time about nVidia is, they really WILL push out revised drivers when necessary. Just be patient guys.

First off all the GPU in GS3 is 50-70% faster than Tegra.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5810/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-performance-preview
Second of all, the CPU is better, its made out of 32nm, plus offers features such as the 128bit which are featured in Cortex A15. Not to mention this isn't a final product
There's no such thing of Gingerbread kernel or ICS kernel, the kernel we are on is close to 3.0.x kernel, fyi the next number update should bring us to 3.0.x if I'm correct.

There is so many factors and details in the soc that its hard to say which is better for instance the tegra 3 does use single channel memory but i believe it runs at a higher clock, also this is only an issue if there is a bottle neck here.
Just ran Antutu on my asia htc one x 128 stock and got 1198 without a restart or clearing ram, which i admit is highest i ever got but still, means nothing

I fail to agree with anything you said, except the moddle paragraph.

As long as SGS3 GPU is not slower than average, it doesn't matter how fast it is.
You won't get special enhanced games for it, it's not nVidia.

Worse battery and worst benchmarks. I know they aren't the sole criteria to measure the performance but they have decreased a lot .antutu is now 8900 and quadrant 3600. Couldn't get worse than this. only good thing is screen flicker has gone.

i think the best way to know does it work worse or did you do some thing wrong is give it one day with just stoke app. If it is ok so you or the app you installed must do something wrong

is your battery low when you did the benchmarks? I get around 10400 antutu and 4400 quadrant. everything is stock.

On 4th OneX should I give up and get an S3

I really like 95% of this phone but I can't get one with no major issues. These are the things that are making me considering switching to an S3
- battery life still isn't great on the latest update. S3 should be much better
- inconsistent wifi - I don't have the hardware problem on this one (previous ones have) but staying in the same spot, I still a signal which fluctuates alot, where other devices recieve a consistent strong signal
- Chrome browser - really like this most of the time but I frequently just get a blank white screen and no amount of reloading works - it affects any website and all open tabs.
- overheating..especially when on charge (playing games) it flashes red/green or even just browsing (on low brightness) it gets very warm to touch (high 40's degrees C shown on Batter Monitor Widget)
I'm on stock BTW and am not a root-er so I'm not considering other ROMs. Had an S2 previously, liked it but not too keen the gingerbread look which the S3 seems to have stuck with on their ICS touchwizz) Any advice appreciated.

The S3s wifi is awful I have both. The S3 also gets very warm when playing games and charging. The issue with chrome is the app not the phone. Mine does it on the s3. The battery life would be better of you had more than one battery. As far as a single charge goes they are about the same.

Fair enough on the Chrome thing. I thought the s3 battery is meant to be a fair bit longer lasting (it's more powerful for starters). Guess these phones will run hot, just didn't expect it to stop charging as it's overheating when just browsing etc.
Which of the two handsets do you prefer?

Have both s3 and hox. I use the hox over s3. The pros far outweigh the cons. Especially if you dont intend to root and use custom roms. Stock cheezwiz on sgs3 is just pathetic. Sense is miles ahead and with the latest update it rocks. Stay with the hox.

I have the htx one x my colleague has the s3 we don't notice any significant difference in the battery life. The HTC does not last playing sonic for the tigra. Also if wifi is intermittent the battery drains fast.
I get a day easily under normal use though.

I'm on my 3rd hox now, WiFi is really bad have to be in the same room as router, not acceptable if you ask me.
Yes this is a great phone but I can't keep hanging around for getting a phone works as it should.

Because he has an HOX so of course he's entitled to be here. And enough with defending HTC and bashing the disgruntled customers. They're entitled to voice their dissatisfaction. Just because you dont have to change many times to get a defect free handset doesnt mean you can rely on that to claim that HTC has done a good job w the manufacturing process. You're HTC's customers, not their employees. NO need to get worked up when somebody complains about a real issue.

Withe the last 2.17 released no WiFi issue at all if you already on this release and still have this problem you should check your router.

Make sure it's not a WiFi antenna disconnection, make sure that your router is not on a channel where there's loads of interference, make sure that your phone is on 2.17.

1. S3 isn't, AMOLED EATS battery compared to S-LCD2. Unless you get another battery, in which case you'll blow the One X away.
2. Make sure there isn't any interference on your router, and make sure that the fluctuations are not affecting actual use of WiFi.
3. Chrome does this for everything.
4. Overheating will happen if you charge while playing games. Don't do it on these phones unless you really want to destroy it early from overheating. If you're going to charge it, leave it alone and stick with light use. Undervolting can also help with these issues, but if you go too far you will cause the phone to randomly go into bootloops that require a power button hold down to fix, or having the phone fall into a sleep of death.
WiFi signal fluctuations may also just be the phone's signal indicator actually being more representative of true signal. The only way to really know is to look at something like WiFi Analyzer and compare the dBm.

It's the same problem I've had with all three phones, when I squeeze the top right of the phone the reception goes full, but the first few weeks of using the phone the WiFi is perfect.
I'm pretty gutted that I'm movin on because I really like this phone, I'm not the biggest fan of Samsung but its the only other equivalent at the moment, I've had the hox from day 1 and its been great while the WiFi works, that's the only reason I'm changing, other wise I'd be HTC all the way

Buying a HTC One X or ... ?

Fist of all, hello. :laugh:
By this time I use Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, but I just want to change it for something better. I have an offer for HTC One X (second hand), but I know that this smartphone is not first youth. I have an offer for Sony Xperia SP too, but the thing is that I don't know what is the best choice. I also know that Tegra 3 is less performance than Adreno 320, but HTC One X has quad-core CPU @ 1,5GHz. (versus dual-core @ 1,7 GHz Krait CPU in Xperia SP.) What is the better choice in this situation ? (Prices are almost the same.)
Greetings.

Oh, my bad. Sorry for that, you are right. Please move my thread in the right forum. Thanks.

Moved to Endeavor Q&A (quad core version).

The One X is a speedy phone, but how important is battery life for you? That's the only concern I would have with getting a One X, especially second hand. Replacing the battery can be done but it isn't an easy process and even a new battery depletes fairly quickly. Not sure how the Xperia fares in that department.

Performance wise I've always found the One X to be excellent, especially once the upgrades got to 4.2.2. I've had mine just under 2 years and it still performs as well as the day I got it. If you ignore battery life the One X is a superb phone, even in the current market.

Got not too long ago one too. Overall, htc one x is very nice phone, really fast and feels very nicelly in hand and still has a very good performance. But its battery is piece of crap. Totally. Well, maybe I'm just not used yet, but even my htc hd2 with wp 7.8 was better than HOX. I'm adding my battery stats from today (well, maybe my battery is defected or this is normal I still don't know) and as you can see, it's ****.

The battery is definitely the weak point of the phone. The 4.2.2 update helped a little but it's still a pretty poor performance. You can install the HOX+ battery into the HOX if you're feeling brave but I have no idea what type of boost it gives, if any.

M9 performance

I've had m9 for a week now and at first thought it was great but as the week has gone on I've notice the performance of the phone been a bit lacking, so I benchmark the phone, and to my shock the performance was a joke on the benchmarks ( I know benchmarks or not the world)
I all so own Sony xperia z ultra, I all so benchmark it and m9 just beat it, but every day use the Sony seems to wipe the floor with the m9 apart from high graphic games but web browsing and YouTube and opening and multi tasking my Sony wins easily.
Just want to know what people are experiencing with there m9 and do they find the performance the new 64bit falgship from HTC.

The HTC Internet app is faster and smoother than chrome so I use that for browsing.

Same issue here. No problems at all until about 2 days ago, and now in some apps (Up, Play Music, Mint) scrolling through lists is not smooth anymore. Sometimes opening the app drawer stutters a bit too. Sometime late in the day yesterday the issue seemed to almost go away, but not all the way. It's driving me crazy.
Totally stock. Guess I'll need to factory reset before I decide something is for sure wrong.

?? The M9 doesn't come with an Internet App. HTC went with Chrome for the M9.

I've got the unlocked model and it's got HTC browser. Download it from market. I disabled Chrome, Big Brother in disguise

Ah, you downloaded it, that explains how it got there.

The performance does suffer due to throttling as system heats up, which it tends to do when running benchmark.
For example I ran Basemark os II and scored a not very impressive 1116
Then after cooling phone (placed in freezer for a minute)
I run same benchmark and got 1561
Which is quite respectable.
All Android phones I have owned have code that will slow down soc and gpu by dropping clock rate when temps rise.

Then AT&T installed it for you. My TMO version does not have it.

I ran antutu yesterday on mine. With the power save feature OFF it was around 52000. It was almost exactly 10K less with the power save enabled.
Essentially, it is as fast as the M8 while using power save.

Don't know if you've seen this video. Shows GalaxyS6 vs S6 Edge vs HTC One M9 vs G Flex 2 Antutu Test! He runs it 4 times in a row and the m9 does not throttle. It gets the same score each time. It also finishes first in all 4 tests, but has a lower score the the Samsungs. Just thought I'd share. I have my m9 waiting at home but I won't get there until Monday night. Can't wait.

Did you ever find out why opening up the app drawer had occasional stutters?

No, and I was hoping that in the couple Sense Home updates that've rolled out since I said anything in this thread there was going to be a fix, but sadly, still sutters the first time I open it in a while. If I open it within like a minute or so of the last time I did there's no stutter. It's a tiny detail but it drives me CRAZY lol. M8 didn't have that stutter.

Yea I have the exact same issue too. I thought I was the only one. I still think its more of a sense home issue because nova launcher doesn't seem to have the issue. I thought maybe it was related to the power saver mode on but that wasn't the case either. Not sure why it stutters but would like to know a fix for it for anyone knows why.
