HTC One X -VS- Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.

100% agreed.

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.

I thought the GSIII screen wasn't pentile? A new version of super amoled I heard. Don't quote me though, but the one x might not necesarily have the better screen.

[Q] Should I buy a One X or wait for One XXL?

I am planning to get a HTC One X, and recently read a rumor of HTC One XXL. I dont want to wait until next year, and if the screen size is bigger than HTC One X then XXL would be useless for me. I need a good advice whether to get One X or wait for HTC One XXL??

leaked information is never reliable
but is is the only information we have about the XXL
1.6 quadcore (now 1.5)
2GB RAM (now 1GB)
1.8 MP Front Facing Camera (now 1.3MP)
same screen
same screen size
same camera sensor
but i hasn't been annouced yet so you don't know when it is released
my advice, just buy the one x
there will be always better phones released right after you buy it
if you want to wait for the best you can wait until you die

hmmm yeah....i think its a good idea to get a HTC one X as the XXL has a little advancement of RAM and 1.6GHz rather than 1.5GHz. The one on the HTC one X would be enough for me, but i am worried about the battery life, also i heard that there gonna be a huge update for HTC one x which improves lof of stability and bugs, also battery life. Is that true???
Am also worried about the defects, if i get a faulty one, are there lot of faulty ones out there or wat?

it's not JUST 1.6 Ghz It's The QUAD-Core Snapdragon S4 28nm With Adreno 320 GPU and clocked at 1.6 or 1.7 and if the rumors are right it Would be A BEAST! :silly::laugh:

Hmz this is new for me. Would be cool if it would be a real device.
Why the **** would he sensor Mac address and keep the Serial number open :S

I think this will come out around October/November time, HOX refresh, around iPhone 5 time and GNote 2 time.

that would be stupid but given that sadly so sadly s3 is selling more, HTC will be forced to do this move
as for me the choice is simple, i follow tegra
i dont see happy reports from the s4 owners, in fact they say it evens out in terms of battery life since screen off times is not as good so imagine a quad with that...and the adreno 3x demos are nothing much

They have to do something as the iP5 will be a big seller regardless of what anyone says and the GNote 2 will be Samsung's high end phone. So HTC will need some new high end device to compete as the HOX won't match either in terms of sales around that period leading up to the holiday period.

You'll be waiting for a long, long time.
Purported HTC One XXL specs: quad-core Snapdragon and LTE (Update: Fake)
UPDATE: Many have cried foul over the alleged screenshots, with the texture on the settings menu not matching what’s found on current Sense 4.0 devices, and the previously embedded video has been made private. On top of that, would HTC really release a new flagship device so soon and risk customer loyalty? Apologies, friends, but the information is more likely than not fake.

Android phones have always out-spec'd iPhone's with bigger displays, faster processors, more features, and better customization. The iP5 is supposed to have a 4.1" display and an A6 processor. The current One X and SGS3 are competitive. People don't buy Android because the iPhone has better specs, they buy it because it's an iPhone. The Note isn't an iPhone competitor. At 5MM sales vs. 20MM sales of the SGS2 it's not even a player. Not everyone wants to hold a tablet to their ear.

Im sure I read somewhere that HTC are only going to do hardware refreshes every year. Instead of the 2-3 a year they do now

if i was HTC i would sort the **** out first with the One X and then try and see what the future holds...One series has potential..just for the to utilize it and work upon it...if everything was unlocked and had s-off i would even go to say this would sell even more than the s3

Why do you guys always have to look for the negative in absolutely everything? The "One X+" name was made up by the media and fueled by rumors to get people to click on links. It apparently worked.
There are three new devices floating around out there - 2 phones and a tablet.
Here's all the detail on the phones:
T-Mobile U.S. is getting an HTC device with an internal code of "era 42" in September. That's all the detail that's been released. Rumors have it to be a version of a quad-core One X. Which version, no one knows. Here's what Android Authority said and it's the only thing that's true.
"We know that we’re throwing a bunch of hearsays and rumors, but this is all we have to play with for now. "
There's an "Evita" (XL) phone that's shown up in benchmarks with a 1.7GHz Teg3 chip and Nvidia Icera LTE radio that has an AT&T signature on its ROM. It's shown up twice and the model number is PM63100. First in July, with 4.0.4 and a couple of days ago with 4.1.1. So obviously it's progressing toward being released.
Here's how I take this. It's great that T-Mobile's getting a version of the One X. It's good for both HTC and T-Mobile. If you've seen their earnings HTC needs to sell more phones and adding devices and carriers is a good thing. AT&T getting a better XL is also a good thing. The SGS3 with the S4 chip is eating the current XL's lunch because of its 16GB fixed storage, crappy radio, and awful multitasking because Adreno reserves so much RAM for itself. HTC & AT&T launching an "improved" Teg3 XL with better specs than the U.S. SGS3 is fantastic for both of them.
As for JB, name one device from either Samsung or HTC that launched on a carrier with better specs than a global phone sold direct. I take JB showing up in testing for the new AT&T phone as a sign that development’s underway and that we'll receive it in the same time frame any new U.S. One X is launched which currently looks like September. Our One X launched in March. If there is a global One X+ that launches in October that's eight months later. If an improved One X helps HTC better compete with the SGS3 than I'm all for it. It also doesn't mean that the current One X is being abandoned.

they defo made a mistake selling a top of the line phone with only 16gb non expandable storage.
FWIW the aussie XL has 32Gb not 16gb so much more of a non-issue.
I don't see how this phone's a 'problem', I suspect its just an optimised/overclocked version of our current international one Xs, now Tegra 3 yields are maturing they are just cherrypicking the best chips and slapping a faux kernel onto it ROFL

Looking on the internet all the processor is is overclocked CPU and gpu, we will get jelly bean and sense 4.1 so that's fine, and its a American phone so how many on you will take a trip to America to buy a overclocked phone
Edit: the processor is also 28nm so it us more efficient and can reach higher clockspeed, no point considering the Wayne chipset(tegra 4?) will bring a 24 core gpu and 28nm quad core a15 processor which will be around
Next MWC 1 year on from tegra 3, that will be a yearly cycle unless HTC go back to snapdragon and if they do, bump the ram

Tablet
Any news/rumours about an htc tablet. I've been considering buying an all in one device to serve as a tablet and a phone, but i have not considered galaxy tab 7.7 cz I don't like touchWiz and the hardware is outdated, hope HTC comes up with a decent tab soon

I predict this will come out loaded with JB and we will still be waiting for a official JB for One X, I also predict I will have a few holes in my walls to patch up.

HTC One X with ARHD 8.0.0 and stock kernel:
So, where's this 'improvement' they speak of?

Are there any benchmarks of One X and SIII on same custom ROM?

Hi all,
I've tried searching high and low for this information to no avail.
I'm looking to purchase a new phone in the next few days and I've been looking at the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII. As an HTC HD2 user for the last 3(ish) years (running multiple Android ROMS), I really want to stick with HTC, plus I'm a nVidia fanboi. However, a lot of the benchmarks out their say the the SIII smokes the One X in pretty much all aspects, even though the One X has the best stats on paper.
I know there is a huge One X update coming soon that improves performance, but I was wondering if there has been an objective benchmark study of these two devices using the same custom ROM? No bloatware or fancy widgets running in the back ground, just a head-to-head raw power benchmark on a level playing field?
It just seems strange to me that that the One X runs around 90-150 in linpack while the SIII runs in the 120-180 region using standard factory settings. Even the guy in the Youtube video I watch was pretty confused.
I'm likely to still go for the HTC One X as I just prefer the looks and the company themselves. But I don't know if I'll be able to shake the annoyance that I may have bought the "inferior" device when it comes to performance.
Any information you have would be great.
Regards,
Dan

Generic games will run better on the S3, but THD games on Tegra3 smoke everything else out there.
There is no level playing field, because nobody is playing the same game.

Benchmarks don't mean anything...
In real life only performance matters
If you love Sense then u will surely love Sense 4.1 its super fast and super smooth
Gaming experience is better on HOX and in THD games u get extra effects which are just awesome and many Tegra optimized games are going to be released this year
I have used both phones and i personally i like HOX better and HOX screen is the best
Latest benchmarks easily are more than S3 after the new update

Agreed that benchmarks don't mean much except comparing between personal setups but I got an unlocked quad core S3 and an unlocked quad core One X. I have CM10 with a kernel overclocked to 1704 on S3...Antutu 14000. Hox stock out of the box 12500. Once I root and get a kernel on there...wow! My offer still stands for a generous donation for someone to PM me later today and guide me through the unlock/ root process. I have been a Sammy guy for my last 5 phones except the EVO LTE which I also have s on unlocked.

The One X update is already outed and brings massive boost to the entire UI
as for games, its a know quantity, THD games are hotter on the One X, Gameloft games runs better on non tegra
we also have a gaming boost app which we worked hard to optimize and squeeze out the gaming power of Tegra3, renovate gaming boost + faux kernel for optimal gaming on sense roms, CM roms all you need is faux or any kernel with single core step removed and GPU unlocked

I bought HOX after playing around with my bros S3 for two weeks. AND, its the best decision I've made in quite a while. Screen is twice as better than s3, I've always loved sense, touchwiz is too newbie like, ( thats my opinion plz ) AND, HOX IS SUPER SEXY!!!

S3's UI is only for kids in the kindegarden...simply awe-full, just like kids' drawings!

Thank you for all your responses.
I went for the HOX in the end. It arrived today. It's pretty freaking awesome, I have to say.
I know that benchmarks mean nothing really, I was just wondering if there was some reason why the S3 did better in the benches.
Cheers again!

Which benches?
HOX has a higher stock score for both quadrant and the more popular Antutu
SGS3 had earlier higher benchmarks in these programs as it had 4.0.4 against the HOX which was only on 4.0.3

I have both international versions (S3 and One X) and for some reason it seems certain benchmark apps do better on a,Sammy and,others better on HTC. Just the fact that the One X is right there even with Sense says a lot. One more cup of coffee and I am off to root my One X...edit...just got the 2.17 update on Hox and stock and bloated its smoking my S3 with CM10 and a kernel overclocked to 1704

I know they mean nothing but all I did was the 2.17 pushed update. First pic before and 2nd after the update.

Anoo benchmarks mean nothing but since I updated my phone on monday and ran benchmarks comparing to my girlfriends s3.. One X is now on par with s3 although IMO I feel my phone has hit a smooth spot, and is pretty much on par with s3 on smoothness so it's either get the s3 with touchwiz or sense.. There the only 2 things I see different about the devices since recent update!

I Have a HOX, my Nephew has a SgSIII. Both on stock roms and unrooted.
downloaded Quadrant on both today just playing around... and the HoX had the better result. Bear in mind also that i have about 100 apps installed and he only has about 3... (Not sure if this would make a difference) But my general score was about 1000 higher than his,
regards to gaming we both have a drag racing game and a game called temple run. When we were both playing side by side his phone looked like it was lagging ever ever so slightly compared to mine... and the graphics and screen were better. And performance.
Oh yeah and Tegra HD games are absolutely awesome! Download some!
So thats my opinion. After playing with his SgSIII for a few hours today i dont think its all its looked out to be. HoX all the way!

Does htc one x has better support

Does htc one x has better support for cyanogenmod roms? Since i am a galaxy s3 user had a best deal here to get shifted to one x.. .Please let me know guys...does it has good development support than s3 has???
And cynogenmod team is going to leave exynos based development... Thats why i am planning to shift....
Am i doing right thing....any helping replys will be appreciated...

There are quite a bit of cm10 based and aokp roms. They do get updated frequently but still a little bit buggy.

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).

Aren't cm leaving exynos devices due to no source being released?
I may be way off here.
You should use both phones then make a decision. I totally get that some prefer aosp on certain hardware.

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.
