Thinking of upgrading my sensation XE to either a One X or a Samsung S3. I've read lots about each, I'm in UK btw.
So any current owners of One X...
do you wish you had waited,
or are you going to swap to a S3,
or happy with One X over S3,
or would rather have an S3 but now in contract?
Cheers
Nope happy with one x its all about sense for me. And one x also looks better plus has better camera.

HTC 1X. Using since 6th April. Awesome device. I would never swap an HTC phone for cheap looking Samsung. HTC is premium.
If by the time the SIII comes out, HTC still hasn't fixed up the One X software, I might very well jump ship. That is of course if the SIII has fewer bugs. I have no loyalty to HTC and I'm really pissed off at their locked bootloaders.
Yes in a heartbeat

You can't really judge the SIII camera until it comes out. Remember how amazing the One X camera was supposed to be, but when we got the handsets it proved to be a very average camera (only with quick shooting).
Only reason I would swap it is for battery life, otherwise I love the One X
No chance of swapping.

Is sense that much different to TWiz? It's my 1st Android, an XE, and never used TW.
Is the camera that much better than S3? They both seem to have same specs?

Is this the battery bugs I've read about? Reason I'm leaning more toward S3 is spare battery and the bugs I'm hearing.

Can I ask specifics please? Is it because of bugs, or extra features on S3? Removable battery and SD?
Cheers
Keep the One X and will buy the S3 when price goes down.
Love the One X but also love the S3 (memory card slot, removable battery, and GLONASS)
Yes! I will, selling my HTC One X at the moment on eBay!
Reason, I don't think it looks ugly (Galaxy S3) but that is my personal preference although the One X looks better, I always use a case anyways.
The Camera is better on the Galaxy S3 with good lightning condition, more contrast and sharper (GSMarena), but HTC One X in low light kills the Galaxy.
Never been a fan of Sense anyways, love touchwiz! (Personal Preference).
And it should produce less heat, due to the 32nm
P.S Why did you get the HTC One X? Because of the Camera and Looks, plus I got it cheaper than retail stores.
Potentially, I'd have to have a good few days with the SGS3 to properly test it out though. I love my One X though, so it's unlikely
Not worth an upgrade if you ask me, nothing really is that much better besides software.

Not true at all. One X's camera is not that good, it is overhyped.
My HTC Incredible S took much better pictures than my One X (and I had 3 X's).
I gave up after my 3rd HOX, as much as I love sense, this is not how premium hardware should be. And even if you have a good one, I couldn't live with the knowlegde that the chance of defects later in the run are very big. I was an HTC fanboy and even I have to admit HTC ruined the One X.
Looking at movies of the S3, I'm starting to find touchwiz less ugly. Sense is thé android experience, it is a real shame
So yes I'm waiting for the S3 to come out so I can take a look at the pentile matrix display. If the pixels are good, I'm going for S3. Shame because I really liked the HOX, but HTC can't seem to get their act together in new batches.
I made a topic about this literally a few days ago - and decided that I would in fact be sticking with the One X.

I am happy with my One X nor need to Swap for S3 features are almost same.

The One X's camera is absolutely fantastic, I've never owned a phone that can take such good photo's. Videos are terrible on the other hand, but the camera does an awesome job for me at least!
Another thing to note is I've read a few reviews where they say the SGS3's screen is indistinguishable from the Galaxy Nexus' which would make the One X's display miles better.
Although many other reviews say otherwise so I'm not sure who to believe any more
Happy with my OneX. S3 design not amazing at all
Honestly, read the rules for general...

i came from the galaxy s2..and i have to say although i love my s2 and i do miss flashing i am very happy with my purchase..so yeah i would recommend it mate..and the led notification is a charm to have
Id hold off till the bugs and flaws are ironed out personally its an awesome phone just want to give honest advice
Mod or Die
if you're desperate then you'll most likely get it regardless of what we advice you
It depends a lot on ur usage and preference...
If u want a large screened smartphone, note scores over the one x...
If u r looking for awesome graphics performance, gaming, etc... Note can't compete with the one x...
One x also has a better camera and sense 4 GUI by HTC...It's a completely different world man....
In the end it's ur choice... :thumbup:

I actually have the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Nexus and I would say you should switch for sure. The massive screen on the Note is fantastic but to be honest i found it to be slower than the GS2 (probably because of pixel density) and Samsung is really slow on the updates, although the notes isn't actually moving that slowly. I would say without question the One X is far better than the Note's as well as the speed of the device. I do like the active digitizer on the note but i couldn't find a legit use for it. And the lack of NFC kinda sucked for me too.
To sum up... SWITCH!!!! and then switch to the GS3 lol.
Or just wait for the s3

I doubt anything will be better than the One X this year, maybe comparable although in personally in the looks department i think this phone is beautiful so thats hard to beat, specially if the s3 is just an evolution from the s2
but it cant hurt to just wait a few weeks and see what s3 has to offer, i just purchased a one x and love it thought ^.^
I had a tough choice choosing between Galaxy Nexus/One X and Galaxy Note...
I ended up going for the One X as i thought it was such a great looking phone compared to the other two.

I don't know if i agree with all of this but I would suspect the GS3's build quality to not be as good as the One X. I do suspect it will be faster and might have a better screen although i don't see how that would be possible lol. I personally loved the build quality of the Galaxy Nexus. Its the only reason I kept that one over the Note. I also thought the GS2 was solid too but the low resolution made that one lose the battle.
Hi guys,
I really need your help to decide on whether or not I should trade my Galaxy Note for the HTC One X. I currently have the international version of the Note but since last week I have been hating it for the following reasons:
1) I installed ICS update on it and it's really garbage. The Touchwiz skin really makes ICS update not apparent at all.
2) Buggy official ROM. As you might be aware, there is a currently superbrick bug on the Galaxy Note even for official ROM. The phone will be bricked permanently after a wipe in CWM. The one to be blamed for this is of course Samsung.
Because of these bad supports, I am kinda leaning toward trading in my Notes for the One X. However, I heard some bad points about the One X too such as bad battery life, bad multitasking (especially since last update) and being too hot and got throttled down.
Can you guys share your opinions on this ? I tried the One X out at the store and I quite like the feels of holding the One X. Just try to look for some advice before I decide.
Thanks and cheers for your help,
Well I traded my note for a one x and I'm so glad I did while I was impressed by the note the one x is such a beautiful phone
Yes the battery life isn't as great but what phone these days has a battery that will last forever lol
Nevertheless HTC are bringing updates out quite frequently so I expect this phone to improve in areas that people are complaining about I haven't had any problems so can't comment

HTC One X why pay $200 extra for basically the same thing that next year will be out of date anyways. Plus the One X rocks! Use the search their are plenty of comparisons.
I have both Galaxy Note and One X I love the One X display compared to the note it really is an amazing looking screen the apps and widgets just sit on top like their floating on water and phones all around design is killer. Everyone that has saw it has been amazed. I can't see paying an extra $200 for the GS3, I just don't see much of a difference yeah the GS3 will probably beat the One X in benchmarks but not by that much that you are really going to be able to tell during everyday use.
The one X has handled everything I've thrown at it so far. and by the time it wont be able to run an app or game it will be time to upgrade anyways.
Its personal preference pay $200 more for the s3 or buy the One X and be happy with a phone that is amazing. 32GB with 25GB dropbox is enough for me I remember trying to fill 16GBs and it was hard and if I need to I can move things back and forth from my computer with a simple USB cord.

LOL, I was asking about the Note ha ha but thanks anyway. I currently have the Note and wondering if I should go HTC One X next. I am sick of how irresponsible Samsung are. The Note will be my last Samsung phone.
Hello
I too came from a note for a one x.
The beauty of the one x is far superior, over the years HTC have worked hard on presentation among other things, samsungs stock, im an oversized iphone look hasnt changed in years.
When it comes too stability browsing, the Note beats the HTC into submission im afraid, but this is because it runs a solid and stable GB os, far superior to the crappy versions of ics we run on the htc, and before anyone jumps in screaming ICS rocks, wake up, if you think ICS is bug free and the finished article then youre clearly not seeing the facts. GB is more stable, but there again, its been around a lot longer, i expect ics will be just as good when it is the polished article.
The note was way too clumsy as a phone, one of the reasons i gave up on it, the one x is much nicer in every design way possible, plus the one x has superior power over the note, and i wouldnt worry about battery, i get a day from my one x, thats no different to what my note gave me.
The main reason i left the note was because the custom development side of the note forum on here became a massive issue for me, too many releases were responsible for bricking peoples Notes beyond repair, it became unsafe to flash custom software from over there, not that im blaming anyone, great group of lads, but the minute that happened i lost all faith.
The development just became a Miui thread in the end practically, it was time to move on, ive had a htc before and i know on here, some of the developers and cooks have a very very good reputation, one of the reasons i chose HTC because i know when these lads finally get to grips with the s-on problem there will be no end to the development, and the note hasnt even had official ics yet, what a joke, i think with android 5.0 around the corner, the future of htc and one x is safe on this forum, youll get updates a lot faster than on samsung.
Horses for courses my friend, it is your choice, but i agree with toonarmy, HTC ONE X, bring it on, it can only get better from here on.
Read my post on the guys thread who was asking GSIII or One X Rom support
Thanks for your informative post. That's true though. I have the Galaxy S, S2 and now the Note and I feel they are pretty much the same. The Touchwiz skin turns out to be worse than I initially thought. To make it worse, they cover ICS native skin with this fugly skin and make it so fugly beyond repairs.
To top it off, because of the superbrick bug, I am so scared to flash any official ROM and to even update my device to official ICS ROM. This really killed the whole purpose of getting an Android phone, which is to do whatever you like with it.
Beside, I did some wipes when I was in ICS and according to the guys in the Galaxy Note forum, my eMMC might have been damaged. I really don't want to deal with all the warranty repair hassle so it might be the right time for me to get rid of my Note.

I was thinking about buying one X too but reading this forum indicates so many problem with quality built. I just sit out for now because if I buy iy, it will be from Ebay or Amazon (live in US) and very difficult with warranty and stuff.
Take the One X and you won`t be sorry. I had the Note and i didn`t use the whole pen utility`s (notes and drawings). I just loved the big screen and the powerfull cpu. But the amount of pixels slowed it down quite heavily in performance.
The One X seems snappier and more direct imo.

My bad I'm so used to post saying should i get SG3 or One X, man that drives me crazy.... They both are good in their own rights. But anyways once again my bad just a little jumpy with all the SG3 or One X post I see. People need to search and their are already hundreds.................X10 SG3 or One X post.
I should have added some useful info since I own both. Here is how I see it the Note is a good PDA IMO. Its just doesn't have the feel of a phone to me, its not really good to carry around for everyday use. Its nice size screen for certain things I use mine like a tablet basically. I just needed something I could carry in my pocket and the note just didn't really fit right, I don't really like touch-wiz it feels like you are still on gingerbread, the way its designed. The display kills it when trying to watch a video it shows artifacts in the blacks, like really old .AVI videos. Thats just my personal opinion.
I think, htc one x. Sound is good, lighter and more compact than note.

My friend has the note, and I did a quick comparison with my one X.
The one X is super smooth scrolling between homescreens etc, wheras there is a noticeable lag on the note, in nearly everything.
The screen is good on the note, but the one X is so much better, in both colour reproduction and of course pixel density
And the one X is really nice to hold and use on an everyday basis, whereas the note is unwieldy and too shiny, so really slippery in hand

For me it's simples, build and feel quality. Samsung consistently produce sub-par products in the quality of materials department........and that's being kind.
HTC have always produced premium feeling hardware and the HOX is no exception.
Note or One X
Had my HTC one X for a week now and very happy with it. Previously had a Galaxy S and wasn't impressed with the Touch Wiz interface so that put me off the Note as did the size ,thought 5.3 inch was a little OTT.
Very happy with it so far. The stock Rom runs very smooth even with the Vodafone clutter installed. If it carries on as it is now i wont even look at custom ROM as there will be no point.
Only downer is the battery but as pointed out by someone earlier that's the deal with a smartphone . I charge once a day and although i would like it to last longer i can cope. Think those of us who have had a few smartfones now accept we have to manage the battery ourselves so if im at work and not using it i turn to 2g, brightness down and turn off auto sync and i can get from 9-6 with 91% left then i can go mad with all the bells and whistles on when im out and about with worry. Seems like a hassle altering the settings for different situations but it only takes 20 seconds in reality with a few well places shortcuts.
Love the feel as well, very hard to let slip in the hand unless some more plastic y phones.
Now I think HTC one x quality is perfect rather than the first batch of phones.. I got the first batch also with flaws but HTC swapped it with a perfect one.. ht24 serial rather than ht23.. by the way, I held the note side by side to my one x and the camera and screen of the one x is much superior than the note IMHO.. the guys posted before is right same old style, feel and interface with galaxy series nothing new just the size rather than sense UI..

I prefer One X cause it's more portable and has clearly a better screen. GNote has the advantage (while One X doesn't get S-OFF) of allowing to install custom roms without voiding warranty and of the bigger screen, which really makes a difference for e-reading.
I have both and I have ended up using the One X more. There are things that I really love about the note, but the updates and ICS on it are a let down. I for one really like sense and have since win mo days. To each his own

HTC One X has more human touch
As of my experience HTC One X has more human touch in its user interface (Sense 4). Polished look of Sense is a key advantage over Samsung Galaxy SIII. I mean, look at Sense widgets - time, music, settings, gallery, calendar - they are great looking. If you look at SGSIII TouchWiz interface and widgets - it looks like they were designed by techy people, not designers.
In terms of device design SGSIII has an advantage - a genuine Samsung leather hard flip cover, available at most stores. It replaces your standard back cover in a fancy colorful way. HTC also has a similar solution, but it makes One X looks a little beefy.
Regarding ROMs - it is pretty easy to install custom ROM on One X. There are plenty of Recoginzed developers who is trying to improve our devices on a daily basis in their ROMs (ARHD, InsertCoin, MaXimus, LeeDroid...).
As for me, I chosen One X because of its UI design, camera and ARHD ROM.
Hope this helps.

If you want tegra enhancements then go for hox (wait for the one x +). If you want amazing audio go for the s3 (wolfson DAC). That's pretty much it. Oh and sense is brilliant vs touchwiz that is just plain dull.

If I'm honest, the only difference between the S3 and HOX is a few slight differences such as screen.
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN MY OPINION IS THE DESIGN !
If you want a very expensive pebble, get the S3
If you want the Rihanna of phones, get the HOX its beautiful !

I wouldn't consider screen differentials as slight differences.
To me, the screen is the most important feature of any large touchscreen phone.
And the HOX screen is 'Much better' than what Samsung offer on the GS3.

So we all know the news of the new nexus, the 16gb costs the same as the HTC one x if I sell mine. All of the internal specs seem great I'm not bothered about sd card, non removable and lte. I just wanted to know is anyone else was buying it by trading their hox in, I just care to know if the camera quality, screen quality, DAC are better then the hox because these are the main reasons why I would buy it since the hox has bad output speaker, battery life, overheats and I don't what a phone with a worser screen then my current or I'll feel like I've downgraded instead.
The camera that is used is a Sony bsi camera in the nexus 4, which is the same as the iPhone 5's. I do like the hox camera but it is behind the iPhone 5, s3 and lumia 920 in terms of quality and colour reproduction. I was watching the verge video which stated that one of the main people behind the nexus 4 said they spent a lot of time making it good at low light shoots which the hox suffers in. The one x+ is good too but I don't like the 40nm CPU and the material used as it gets dirty to easily. So what do you lot think is it worth the trade or are you happy with the hox?

I've only ever had HTC android phones (Hero>Desire HD>Sensation>EVO 3D>One X), before that I was using HTC windows phones, but I'm very tempted.
I am also so very tempted to do this, I really like the Nexus devices and I've had it with HTC !!
How would you sell yours? Ebay? And then purchase the Nexus 4?
What happens if I've got 16 months of a 2 year contract left? Could I just sell the HOX, buy the Nexus 4 and then pay the contract for the minutes? etc?
Yeah I'm trading...I think..well till I read the reviews
Partly due to aosp. Nice looking.
I'm not adding much to trade though.they can jog on

I'm going to try Gumtree first, then eBay then buy a N4 with the money.
You can put your sim into any unlocked phone and continue paying your bill as normal.
Hmm I'm happy with my HOX but I want the latest and greatest. The major selling point is that it is a nexus device.
I could recycle my HOX for £195 that wouldn't leave me far off the money needed, but I'm not sure its worth it.
My one X does everything I could possibly want at the moment.
If the N4 had LTE capability, maybe I would be completely swayed.

I'm broke, but selling my HOX should cover most of the cost
I absolutely love my HTC One X, it's a great machine,
but I'm unhappy what is happening in this device section.
People are ignoring forum rules, no respect among each other, moaning about the device, comparing it with other manufacturers and so on.
Jelly Bean rocks on HTC One X, battery live is awesome and the rom flies.
I've see the Nexus 4 video but I don't like the design of the machine and the OS has some new stuff but not so impresive to my opinion.
Anyway if I sell my HTC One X, I'm going back to Microsoft, the HTC 8x or the Nokia 9200 are looking great.
I still doubt to choose between those two phones because the Nokia has a Carl Zeiss lens but also the HTC 8x seems to have a amazing camera with new technology.
So probably one of those machines will be my next phone.
Shame to hear that Leo.
Hope you can stay with your One X and also you can get a W8
Cheers,

im with you buddy..selling my phone and going for the Nexus 4...will be my first Nexus so looking forward to it...just need to sell this bad boy first though
For me HOX is amazing phone. Solid in hand, looks amazing. I really do not understand why battery life is bad .. i am having 48h with daily use.. at some point even more. With that kind a battery and stock rom 2days+ is great, isn't it? 3~5% battery loss in deep sleep (night time) 8~10h.
Agree that Nexus 4 should be good, better than HOX performance/camera wise. Still like the looks of HOX more than N4.
For a quad core beast... what do you think?
The previous single core phones I owned even couldn't make a full day without charging.

Go for the Nexus 4. Any Nexus device is so much better than an hTC device. Always up-to-date sources, working drivers, best support. hTC just lost it along the way.
the sony bsi camera in the n4
the s4 pro dac
and the lg screen
three of the toppest specced components in android history. hell ya. too bad im poor

Just don't expect an HTC ONE X - grade screen.
On the Nexus 4, whites aren't white, more like very soft gray.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and am thinking of switching to a One X. Not sold yet, though, because of the device's speed and Android's ugly apps. Thinking of iPhone 5 (but am not rich so can't afford it) and Lumia 920 (same).
Hello
I am planning to buy HTC One X international version for about 468$ from a local store where I can test it and so on. I now wonder if I should wait for a newer phone release within the same price range or wait for HTC One X price to drop more or maybe even wait until the HTC One X+ price drop and get it instead .
So
Get The One X now for 468$
Or
Wait until it becomes cheaper like 400$ or so few weeks later
Or
Wait for the One X+ price drops to 468$ and that way I get the better version for the same price of the old one
Or
Wait for 2013 phones to be released and get one of them instead or get the One X really cheap .
What do you guys think ? It is worth waiting and for how long ?
It's a good phone, but the One X+ is obviously better. (It's not much of difference, imo). But the price is a bit too high. You can score the X for a better price through sellers here or on eBay...

Where did the OP state your recommendations as an option? Or am I having trouble reading?

I just got a One X myself and it is a pretty decent phone but if i had the chance to go back buy a different phone i certainly would.
Firstly the battery life isn't very good i have had a lot of problems with battery.
Secondly i have had a lot of reboots and freezes with the stock ROM this might be something to do with me being with Three who are useless and haven't provided important updates etc to us.
If you can get the s3 or Nexus 4 get one of them, if you are into iOS get the iPhone you know the phone is going to be stable, get updates on time etc.
Like i said the One X is a decent phone but it does have its problems
Good Luck with you're new phone
I think the One X is a VERY good phone. Obviously there is a smudge of bias on my opinion as I own one but from having used an S3 for a 1 month period before deciding that I didn't want it, I can tell you why ***In my opinion*** the One X beats it
Firstly, the screen is devastatingly beautiful, the colors are amazing, it's got sublime viewing angles near 180 degrees if i'm honest and it's just brilliant for watching HD content on, plus the screen is big enough that you can actually appreciate media content on the screen. Being picky when it comes to screens, it pains me everytime I use the S3 and I can see the pentile pixel grid and all the whites have a green tint to them.
Tegra 3, now I know it's a bit of a gimmick, but it gives a noticable difference in graphical quality than any comparible phone without tegra such as the Nexus 4 or the S3, also works beautifully with the screen
Design, much like the One X's screen, it's body is really well styled, the materials feel very premium and the handset just feels good, the design just has that wow factor which I felt when I first saw the HTC Legend. The S3 in this category cannot hold a candle to the one x, when I feel that glossy polycarbonate, my mind scream CHEAAAAPP!! I know it's not and I know it's the same material that the One X uses but it just doesn't feel like a £400 phone should. Also opening up the battery cover on the white version, you just see disgusting cheap white plastic everywhere which for a picky person like me isn't that great.
Camera, now this is a very subjective area and I much prefer the pictues the One X produces, the S3's pics feel very very saturated in terms of colors where I feel the One X is more representative of the true color, again, this is entirely subjective and that's how I felt.
Sense UI is amazing, yes it's heavy and yes it's buggy sometimes but it's so much more polished than Touchwiz feels and I just like the interface more, there's more "customisability" and it's a nice nice interface to use. I prefer the vanilla android UI just because it's really good nowadays but at the time of purchasing, there were no other phones that bragged the same specs which came with stock Android, and even now if I could change the One X for the Nexus 4, I don't think I would for the reasons above.
Final reason I got a One X is because I really like the fact no one knows what it is and that not many people own one. It's like an exclusive club which people who appreciate Sense can join!
We seem to have veered off topic.
Waiting is a mugs game, it'll always get cheaper, there will always be something better coming along.
What BenPope said. Basically the choices boil down to pretty much buying One X+ if you can afford it, otherwise One X, or you could wait for about a year (or longer) for Tegra 4 devices to come at around mentioned price range.
I bought One X about two weeks ago and all I can say is that I don't regret that decision for a moment.
