http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-reveals-the-galaxy-s3-quad-core-processor-1077741
Samsung promises "powerful quad core performance" and reveals that the Exynos 4 Quad doubles the performance of its dual-core predecessor, "while consuming 20% less power".
Any of you guys fearing Galaxy S3 will do to ONEX what S2 did to sensation : ) ?
Any thoughts ?

Why should I fear? Every devices has it's own cons and pros I know what I get when I buy HOX and I know what will happen when I wait for SGS3. Maybe they'll show off with some stupid benchmark which I don't care. They just announced the processor will take a long time before coimng to a Smart phone.
benchmarks mean jack..it is all about what the user experience of the phone provides to the consumer that the vast majority are looking into now.. And i think that the One X provides that now. It has the all round good factor about it. Great specs but also great experience..What i mean it has everything in one. Great for games and great for music and all the other things to improve the phone even more with development
This thread will get closed, not relevant to the HOX. Although patiently waiting to see what it brings to the table
The original Galaxy S had a supposedly more powerful GPU than the Desire.
That didn't stop it from freezing every second and randomly rebooting every few minutes. It also didn't change the fact it felt like a fragile toy. It didn't change the fact that the plastic used was the exact same as what you'd find on their €50 Europa.
Samsung can up the numbers as much as they'd like but it won't stand for anything if it doesn't feel right. User experience is everything, numbers are nothing.

I agree with these comments. I think you don't need the extra power anymore for quadcores. It's about milliseconds, dont really notice it with human eyes.

One thing is for sure..it won't look as beautiful n stunning n give a premium feel as my One X..its gonna be the same cheap plasticy finish..n dull..n if they used the pentile matrix again with oversaturated colors (like in galaxy note) its gonna be having the same black clipping issues..grey squares all over black..
M done with Samsung..I don't care if they put 6 cores in there..I totally love my One X..

Its funny how people can be hypocrites. I'm nit saying you in particular but everyone is showing their HOX benchmark all proud but when we talk about the Galaxy s 3 then all of a sudden benchmarks don't matter anymore.I expect the galaxy s3 to mop the floor with the one x in terms of user experience, speed, battery life. The only area where I think the one x might be better than the S3 is build quality and MAYBE screen cause as awesome as the one x screen is, we have yet to see what the S3 screen is all about.
Unless the g3 comes in a One X chassis and runs Sense 4.0, i won't be interested. All it will be good for is comparing stats.

i can't physically notice the pixels on the 720p screen, why the hell would i want a 1080 screen on a phone ffs?
anyway, expectations are the mother of all ****-ups...
imho another bull**** flame bait thread.
mod lockdown imminent
Benchmarks are useless. For me personally I find the HOX plenty fast for my needs. Sure it'll improve with kernels and such.
More importantly UI is a major factor. TouchWiz albeit decent is poor compared to Sense. Sense is lovely few gripes but lovely none the less.
Now if Samsung totally revamp and totally recreate TouchWiz then that will be something to consider. I loved the SGS2 but spent most of it's last months on AOKP.
Personal preferences, I prefer the simplicity and usefulness of Sense and it's widgets hence why I came back home to HTC. Competition is good for us
I expect the S3 to have
1. better battery life (32nm process, same A9 core, AMOLED uses less power, bigger overall battery in S3) when in use,
2. similar stand by time (no power saving core),
3. similar computing power (Antutu being the benchmark as it just gives raw number crunching results).
4. S3 will have a much worse screen than the One X (AMOLED simply ruins the colors. My old HD2 wipes the floor with the S2 concerning screen colors).
5. S3 will be boring. Have you seen TouchWiz? Sense is bliss compared to it. Also, the S2 feels cheap (but then again so shoes the One X compared to my HD2 and even more to iPhone)
All in all.. my choice would be a well-manufactured One XL (best battery life and best processor but lower performance - that I can live with). But they don't sell them here.. and they don't seem to manufacture many good ones yet.

There are people who are obsessed with benchmark. But IMO these benchmark can be tweaked we saw an article where benchmark app was compromised and tweak to their chipset. By unlocking FSP cap you can get better scores but you'll see lot of display glitches. That's why I really don't care about benchmark. In todays world whatever you buy the latest and greatest will be out-dates in matter of days. You can't keep up with it. As far as software I don't care for both Sense and TouchWiz. Anyway I'll strip it and flash CM once it's out.
As long as the SGS3 has external micro SD I'll be getting it over the ONE X, the ONE X without external memory support is too Apple like for me. I like freedom, thus the reason I choose Android.

Come again why are you on this side of the forums if you think that the S3 is going to mop the floor with the one x in terms of everything basically? We get it you love the S3 and you really do not like the HOX. But for my life i have not read anyone go on about the specs behind this phone and raving about it. I for one got this phone not because of tegra 3 and because of it being the first quadcore but because of like i said the user experience...
Benchmarks are for those who love to brag how big and powerful their phone is. Like something else to feel good about themselves Look at the S2..Now that phone was the best and maybe still one of the top 2 phones in the world in my eyes. It had it all. But when it came down to user experience it sucked.
In regarding games you needed chainfire 3d to be able to play tegra games. I can do that without that with my HOX. And it will probably be the same with the s3.
Quality of sound. Again the S2 lacked way behind. It needed Supercurio to release his Voodoo Louder app to give some sense of good audio. My HOX comes with beats audio already with the phone no need for anything extra. And i bet it will be the same with the s3. All power no end product.
Touchwiz. I actually loved touchwiz. But now using sense i love sense even more.
Now no denying the s3 will be the king of android phones when it comes out. But you will find that there are people out there who prefer the HOX for the overall user experience and not because of the specs it provides..And lets not forget this phone is quite powerful in its own right and will only get better with the help from development here...So maybe you need to go somewhere else to rave about your s3
And i agree..This thread needs closing because it is becoming a flame war and provides nothing for our gorgeous phone

And what exactly did the S2 do to the sensation? AFAIK, it was a worthy competitor, but was also buggy as hell (GPS problems) and lets not forget that it felt like a cheap toy and came with touchwhizz.
Lots of people bought the sensation after having held both devices.
I have no doubt that the S3 will be a great phone. But that won't make the One X any less.
"Mop the floor" lol. It will be a little bit faster in some respects, as is always the same with the next new smartphone, it has slightly more advanced tech than the previous one.
"mopping the floor" is like comparing the sg3 to a nokia 3310.
But the Nokia wins on battery life

And i agree..This thread needs closing -- but you rant at full steam like rest of the guys. You are one of the "criminals" who's taking part in the fight, and yet you have to portray a righteous image about yourself. wow!
In regarding games you needed chainfire 3d to be able to play tegra games
-- I need you to read your statement again properly. So, some developers decided not to make their apps compatible with Mali400 GPU and utilize proprietary nvidia compression. I guess it's Samsung's fault that those developers are not interested to run their apps/games on non-Tegra devices. You don't need CF3D for "normal" games. If this is your excuse for poor user experience, blame the devs.
Hey I was wondering if the One X has any noticeable differences in performance compared to the S3 gaming and UI wise. I have an S3 but I like the Tegra optimized games and the design of the One X, but i heard that there is noticeable lag and the S3 is better. Please help with my decision. Thanks!
Yes, Sense is much heavier UI, much more than TouchWiz, laggs happens, sometimes often, hox software isnt good enough to make this phone good enough, bugs happens, but its still good smatrphone.
Hope HTC will get his ass to work, and fix all of this ... sh*t

Is that a yes that I should get it? Also can you confirm what people say that gaming and music are better on the One X (International), over the S3 (International). Those are my two main selling point because I already like the One X build quality better.
Well imo sgs3 is better for music, hox dont have microsd slot, on stock firmware sounds awful, and battery is worst than g3, with mods its better ofc.
For games ? Yeah u got dedicated tegra games but now those games is tech demos, good graphics, sux gameplay, and most of gameloft games dont support tegra, asphlat 6 for example but i heard asphlat 7 works on hox.
Hox got better design and quality of build its clear, better screen, and sense despite its sometimes laggy and slow is best android cover ;-)

Thanks, but the big question is if I should trade my S3 in for the One X or if the S3 is just as good. Also which one is more future proof in terms of performance?
You should really just go into a phone shop and try a One X. Both the S3 and One X have extensively modified versions of Android on them, which in both cases is for the worse IMO and doesn't offer the butter-smooth and clean experience I wanted Android for in the first place.
As such, which one you'll prefer is largely down to taste. For example I think the S3's built-in SMS app is horrible, whereas the One X's is great. Conversely, I think the One X's built-in browser and email client are garbage.
Performance-wise it might be the S3 is smoother, although in all honesty I didn't pick up on much of a difference when testing the two. However make no mistake, when you get a custom ROM on there which takes away all the HTC crap this phone can blaze — if Jelly Bean ROMs start appearing soon with its reputed 'project butter' performance enhancements it's going to be perfect.
As for the hardware: One X looks and feels infinitely better, S3 feels a little tacky and cheap IMO and doesn't look that hot either. The One X is probably the best industrial design I've seen for a phone yet. Also the One X does win on the specs front, although the battery life is a little inferior as a result.
Get more than one opinion don't be a tool. Read up! I like the One X mine works just fine but you have to set it up right. Almost all quad core phones is preference do you like the One X features or S3s? Sense or TouchWiz etc. etc.
Read up around here and in the dev section. see what you can do with the One X if you buy it.

See its all preference I like the One X browser and how it will re-flow the text so you don't have to keep sliding the screen back and forth and zooming in and out etc. I like how it does the word wrapping so you just scroll up and down while reading the article you focused in on it might take a big long extra second to load a page but IMO its worth it. To each his own, what some like others don't.
Answer for ur question its not that simple, its rly similar phones, only details make them different, Sense VS TouchWiz, SLCD2 vs AMOLED (with pentail), Tegra3 vs Exynos. U need to know what u rly need i picked up hox Which is more for future ? Non of them. Soon we will see brand new snapdragon s4 quad core which kill tegra3 and exynos in performance.

AGREE 100% that is going to be a beast but everyone just needs to enjoy what we have now because it wont last too long at the rate that technology is moving. More manufacturers are starting to arrive on the scene. I still want to see how this new PowerVR with the new Quad core is like. Sit back and laugh at Crapple HTC +1 for the win yesterday great!
hi man
i switched from sgs2 to htc one x
and i have to say im not impressed at all
and galaxy s3 is better than htc one x in term of hardware
and for gaming sgs3 is better than the hox
im having lags with some games some times on my htc one x i guess its a software problem
but still i dont recommend switching from sgs3 to htc one x
because imo galaxy s3 is a better phone than the htc one x
but for music i think htc one x a better a little because of the beats audio and in terms of design i think htc one x looks better
but for the rest galaxy s3 owns,,,,,
even my sgs2 preform better than htc one x in some tasks
so stick to ur sgs3 man its a great phone

No you should not. Instead you should donate money to third world countries and save people from hunger and preventable diseases.
Hello,
Is there any real difference between S4 and Tegra 3 processors? I mean benchmarks are benchmarks, but the feel in daily use? Games? (i know battery life is a lot better in S4), maybe because of newer kernel or so? Red all these benchmarks all over the globe and still can not decide what to do. Maybe HTC will release some gold bullet fix/improvement or so..
I am from eastern Europe so there are only International version of One X with Tegra 3 processor. Also we have SGS3 with quad-core and HTC One S with S4 lets say. The price difference for now is really not that big, for about 50Euros (HOX > SGS3 > HOS). I did hold all the phones, as my personal experience i really did not like SGS3 brightness, it seemed very dark but the deep colors and black was stunning. Inside i liked SGS3 screen more and opposite at outside. Did not tried HOS turned on but i liked most of three the feeling in my hand while holding it.
How about future development? What is you opinion? Is international version of HOX going down? Should i buy SGS3, because i like custom roms so much.. Or should i buy HOS (this one is more complicated, i need to wait some time for it .. and i do not have a phone because of some hobo who stole it ).
This is really hard to pick for me because prob i will stick to that device year or maybe two.
Please do not be mad, i know there are tons of posts out there, comparing these phones, but if i read them all (i did some reading) i will lose my mind and will buy One S with S3 .. or god bless iPhone.
P.S. the last one was a joke.
Thank you for your answers!!! :good:
Well you wrote this on an HTCOne X thread. Therefore everybody will tell you to get the ONE X, however if you want the best experience possible i would go with the SG3.
Why?
1) SG3 has much developer support.
2)Quad core Exynos is faster then Nvdias Tegra 3
3)Many games are not optimized for Tegra therefore they wont work
4) HTC One X lacks a removable battery, SG3 does have a removable battery
5)SG3 supports external SD
6)Bigger display on the SG3
This are some pros and cons. The SG3 is by far the better option.

id pock the hox or s3 for development, as many devs like the s3 , and hox has the tegra which is in the n7. but if y account for looks and feel, one x wins. then after, the one x screen clarity and brightness along woth actual representation of colors beats any smartphobe screen hands down. however, if u like the amoled feel, then its another story.i d pick hox>s3＞one s

My opinion:
Htc one x is the best phone i ever had, display is amazing, THD games have very real graphic, used to use latest phones and this quadcore with ARHD 7.2.1 (rom) is far away from others phone that i had (note s2 s1 evo3d iphones) im very happy with hox, very fast and designed well with sense 4, battery is good but (not like S2 or Note they had better battery i think). but my only concern is every time i check xda threads for hw issues i have a little heart attack till i check if im affected of hw issue or not, im lucky couse my hox never had problems in hardware, but people are facing lot of problems, so if i had to buy another phone, for example if i losse hox or something, i dont dare to order hox becouse of hw issues, i will keep it and my next phone will be SGS3 and and im sure i dont need to check for hw issues S3. Dont know much about s3 but i believe on galaxys.
Just my opinion.
Hope if you get one x u will be fault free and enjoy the best phone till now.

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.

No money needed,
Just flash a custom rom & boom, your rooted.
ARHD is a very popular one, as it's completely stock based just tweaked.

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!!!
THD games rock, loving Heroes call atm

After 3 months, I sold my S3 and keep my HOX and had never regretted it as the latest 2.1.7 updates has made HOX one the the fastest and smoothest phone ever, and not forgetting the awesome and featured packed's Sense 4.1!:good:
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!
So i currently have a Galaxy S IV i9500 and want to buy the Note II N7100. This might sound strange but hear me out.....
So i bought the Galaxy S IV the as soon as it released....i thought it would be a great phone! (I was upgrading from a S III). It is a great phone no doubt but when upgrading from the S III (which was a great phone too) i felt that not much had changed. I felt that it had nothing greater to offer than the s3. Except for the screen i saw no real difference.
The performance was not hugely faster than S3 and since the s4 has an a 1.6ghz a15 core at 1.6ghz when on load, i think the 1.6ghz a9 on note 2 might be on par for usual everyday tasks. T
The screen size felt same as on the s3 even though it is .2 inches bigger. Now looking at the note 2 i feel that it has much more to offer. It has a bigger screen, bigger batter and S Pen (something new to play with).
However since i have used the s4 the display really is the factor that has me stuck in a loop on whether i should sell the s4 and buy the note 2. So is the difference in resolution really a big issue? I currently dont have access to a note 2 thus am unable to compare so i would like opinions to help decide. Does the 720p resolution on note 2 look pixelated on comparison to s4? Also will the processor and gpu on n2 get outdated soon? How long before N2 is unable to run the latest games and apps?
Thanks Everyone for Reading and all Opinions are welcome. Cheers
There is thread like this and by owningn N7105, I really know what you feel.
I was dancing on the wire if I should by Htc One, Xperia Z, S4 or Note 2 after Sensation Xl.
Xperia was and is really beautiful piece but it didnt do it for me... I have used S3 alot and when I got my hands on S4 I was really disappointed.
It is great phone but nothing I didnt have that WOW-feeling so I bought Note and for the first time, I feel everything is there and I dont have to "settle" for something(except external keyboard but they are hard to find nowadays. Damn you Motorola!).
But I couldnt see any big difference between screens. Also Note has 1,6Ghz quad core + 2Gb so no worry about power... It can do what ever you want. And after little tweaking, its batterylife is just AMAZING.
