So. I've got a friend who tonight just offered to trade a 32gb HTC One X International for my AT&T 16gb Galaxy S3. I've already got two friends saying it's a good trade, and I'm inclined to agree because of the Tegra 3 and the LCD screen. Just curious to see what anyone else thought and if they'd give a thumbs up or down.

Not just no but HELL NO.

pro

cons
no lte
less dev
less memory 1gb
krait cpu stand up to the tegra
resale value on s3 will be higher in a few months
expected 30millions by the end of quarter 4...their numbers speak for them self
need more storage? won't be able to add micro sd
the main thing that through me off from the hox is built in battery and not sd storage
either then that the hox is a nice unit but I wouldn't trade if it be up to me
I believe you already made the right choice by choosing the s3 in the first place but in the end it's up to you
:thumbdown: There is a reason your friend wants to trade, it's because yours is better.
The removable battery and no external storage are deal breakers for me.. But a distant 3rd deal breaker is resell value.
HTC 1x isn't easy to sell now and will be very hard later.. Not worth it..
Ask him for 100+his phone if you are considering it otherwise you're getting ripped off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I tend to disagree. I just made this trade and am now on the GS3 side of it.
It comes down to preference. I think the HOX was a much more solid device. I won't get into the dual v quad argument now because it's pretty much moot.
The GS3 is the "it" phone for now, but the HOX has a niche that I think makes it just as valuable to the right people. If your motivation is purely liquidity, then stick with your GS3. If you want to try a new experience that could potentially be better for you, I think the HOX is worth a try. I liked it.
Others have said get him to add cash. I would ask for $50 and not take any less. Explain these reasons. It's fair.
Thanks for your thoughts guys. I think I'm gonna stick with my s3. I rather do enjoy this phone and after doing a little research the little things the S3 has over the hox are pretty big to me. Like removable battery and sd cards. The other thing is the S4 chip is pretty amazing ntm I feel i would regret the trade. Also my s3 is red lol

Well I was hesitant of the offer to begin with. Reason I started thread was to hear a wider degree of opinion, and everyone's thoughts were right along with my own. The S3 is a stellar phone. I'm a little sour with at&t atm cause I guess they will be bringing the Exynos version stateside with LTE support but bleh. The S4 seems to be showing these quad core chips a fight.
Honestly. I didn't really know a great deal about the International HOX because I never cared to know till my friend made that offer. Would pique anyone's interest i imagine. All said and done though. I will not part with my S3 unless I find a way to get the Note 2.

Who is jumping ship for the One S coming out this month?? I am thinking about it, but am afraid that the lack of an SD card slot is a deal breaker. Also worried battery life may not be that great.

Being a previous owner of a Sensation and Amaze 4G, there's not enough going on with the HTC One to make the jump. Besides, it's a dumb-down version of the One X.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a dumbed down version. The One S will have the new S4 Krait chip which though not quad core, handily beats the Tegra 3 (int'l One X) in recent bench markings.
Plus, it is built on 28nm process technology which will reduce power consumption.
I dont think ill be getting that phone their isnt enought new features on it for me to wanna upgrade from my S2 just yet,, also really dislike the fact their is no sd slot. I have also had the HTC sensation 4g and a Mytouch 4g slide. The One S just isnt different enough....
I'd wait to see if this rumor pans out or not: http://androidandme.com/2012/02/sma...e-to-get-stock-android-4-0-and-quad-core-cpu/
If so, I think I'll probably make the leap to the G4x.

If it had an sd slot maybe because I want a higher rez screen but to me it's not much of an upgrade more like a slight improvement that sacrifices some key features people might not wanna give up.

I don't think I will but only because of the size. I have small hands and the E4GT is at the top of my comfort level already but the Note is a sweet looking device so I will give it a look if it does come to Sprint. I think the rumored Sprint name is the Galaxy Journal?

I really would like to get one but I'm having second thoughts about paying full price for a bigger screen. I should, but doubt I will knowing my impulsiveness, wait to see if there's any problems initially like there was with this phone when it first comes out. I will also wonder what kind of specs the g3 well have and when it will be here for us. Those are the two I'm watching. Also, if the note still has a dual core snapdragon when it comes out for us, I might pass. Two steps forward with the hardware then one back with the CPU.
Id buy one first day.

Very true statement. If it domes with an S4pro with the new adreno gpu that thing will be a monster. I know that Samsung will eventually integrate lte in their processors but when is the question.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Give me one with LTE and any exynos processor and I would be totally satisfied and have no need for anything else for the rest of that contract at least!
With how big the battery is, couldn't they just put an lte radio in there and have a toggle to turn it off and on like wimax? Then it would still be our responsibility to watch the battery. I could totally go for something like that as long as they kept the exynos. But do not count out the S4pro it has the upgraded gpu also with lte built on the die.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it came with ICS out of the box, and LTE support. Would definitely pick it up.
Because I too will be paying full price (unless I come up with a way to sweet talk an early upgrade out of someone) and since I'm not even 100% sold on getting the phone, I'm definitely going to wait awhile and see how it performs. Also the extra wait time will allow a chance for the SG3 to possibly make an appearance, that's the phone I really want.
But I'm a major gadget whore so there's no guarantee what I will or won't buy regardless the cost. lol
I don't know...I like the Note, but I would need a few things in order to lock myself in for 2 more years for it. First, LTE capability. ICS would be good, but not necessary at launch for me.
It would need an upgraded processor though. With the Evo LTE coming out and the SGS III likely to be announced sometime soon, I don't want to get stuck with a last gen processor for 2 years.
Honestly, I probably won't make a decision on my next phone until I see what Sammy has up their sleeve.

Amazon has 5000ma extended life batteries by hyperion AND there's a tpu case for the extended battery too.
As far as a phone the SG2 is the biggest i'll go, and I already have a Galaxy Tab 10.1, but if I had neither of these then maybe. After a fondling session at the dealers first....

Why would we know about the S3?

Get the GS3. Try it for a week or two then pass it on like I did.
One X in real day usage is a far better experience.

Its personal preference really, I for one would never have another Samsung device, just for the pure fact I don't like them anymore. I love my HOX, I must be one of the lucky ones that don't have the problems. But I'd keep with the HOX if I was you.
And quit with the sarcastic comments "Stay in school", really uncalled for.
Cheers.
I have the same doubt like you man...I am very confused between S3 and HOX...I always had samsung, but I really really hate them, due its pathetic plastic case and the crap touchwiz.
My concern is related to wifi and antenna issues of HOX...thats the only one reason i did not buy the HOX yet.:crying:
Can someone help me too?
Seriously guys what's with this complete indecision going on? I hope it's not contagious. I'd hate to have indecision. I think. Well, maybe not. I dunno. I might like it.

One of the reasons why I don't like Samsung is because they are so plastic. As to the HOX WiFi issues, I've had no issue. Not sure if I have a later phone or what, but all seems fine. Brought mine about 3 months ago.
Cheers.
OK, seeing as I've used both I'll give my views...
1. The screen on the One X is VASTLY superior to the S3 - the viewing angles are better and it just looks more natural.
2. TouchWiz, although I hate it, IS more fluid and suffers from less lag than Sense.
3. A lot of the gimmicks are useless but don't hinder the performance
4. I don't like the buttons are the base of the S3 - too close to the bottom of the unit, they look like an after-thought
5. I like the notification toggles in the S3 - they're handy. Why HTC got rid of 'Quick Settings' in the stock ROM build is beyond me
6. Having a removable battery/SD card IS a benefit and one HTC should have catered for
7. Autobrightness is quite low on the S3 - my Dad has to turn the screen up a lot for him to see it properly (he is getting old tho! )
8. WiFi works fine on both the S3 and One X from my experience, no issues with either
Overall I prefer the One X but the S3 isn't as bad as people think. OK it's a bit platicky but other than that it is a good phone - just not for me
neva had any issues with wifi... this is an excellent device... my colleague has an S3 and never saw him using any of the fancy features that S3 boasts about... he was going gaga over some of the features, but then he's also had some software issues... the touchwiz is the crappiest ones out there... there's nothing premium about the S3... i hate samsung personally...:cyclops:
hey again guys i'm just going to stay with my hox and i'm not having problems with anything i liked the s3 because of the smart features but i rooted my one x and evreything is working fine and actually there is an app called smart stay does the same thing that the feature of the s3 does and there is another called super video that gives you that pop up video thing of the s3 if you have an one x be sure to download those to apps and thanks for your answers everyone and stay high on android don't go with the iphone!
I have a HOX. Awesome phone but I HATE the stock Internet browser on there everyone u scroll up it pulls menus up. And it has a severe lack of multitasking or switching between apps , even the iPhone has a double tap on the home button that brings up recent apps. The screen on HOX is amazing tho and tbh I don't think sense is all that bad I liked it. I have my eyes on the S3 tho, I like it but as I'm hearing all this stuff about problems with it I'm thinking im gonna wait till next wednesday and see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone 5

It's a good phone. I'm going to root it soon because in it's present state I feel that performance could be better and the gross amount of bloatware is incredibly annoying. I have used the speed test app and I'm T-Mo and managed to get a max of 27.80Mbps. Not to shabby. I did realize later that the size of the phone is quite big for my hands but the screen real estate makes up for it. I don't think I would have gotten anything else. Battery is great as well.
Yes. Absolutely i love my S3.

Im assuming you're kidding? Otherwise you would not be floating around the gs3 forum still?
If you are serious, what do you mean "didnt know whether you were coming or going"? What does that even mean lol?
and by mentioning the "htc one", im assuming you mean the "one S". So that being said, no removable storage card and no removable battery, doesnt that speak for itself? Good luck with that one, or did you overlook those two missing features?
If you are serious, can you explain why u chose the htc one s over the gs3?
To the other person, the note 2 looks nice but from what i was reading, it seems a little big.
And also, people keep mentioning the nexus. Is it better than the gs3 better?
I like it, overall pretty good. WiFi performance and Wi-Fi calling are very bad. If you are planning on using WiFi calling DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
The s3 is light years ahead of the lg, that's a 2 year old phone that wasn't even that great to begin with. IMO the only other phone out right now to compare with the s3 is samsung's own Note2, but that's a giant phone and definitely not for everybody. If you wait a little longer LG's new superphone is around the corner but who know's when exactly it'll be released.

Hey Kid. I remember you from the G2x days. Night and day different experience. Everything just works. Screen quality, speed, size, features, everything is better. This is what the android experince should be.You will love gaming on the GS3.
I love it so much. I do have an issue with the battery running out quickly but I think I have a faulty battery. Not sure. Other than that it's the best phone I've had. I don't think there's anything better out there.
The only other phone i would consider is the new Nexus coming out simply for the updates. It still hasn't been announced tho but I'm sure it'll be a fantastic device on par with the S III

I have owned literally EVERY high end android device that has been available in the US. Even some that haven't for that matter. But this is by far the best device i've ever owned. It excels in every area. The display is phenomenal, the specs are top notch, and the real world use is where it should be considering the power this thing flaunts. As far as smoothness and fluidity go it's in a league of its own. I've had the note 2, i've had the one x+, I've had the dna, and they cant even hold a candle to this device. All we need now is for some of the awesome devs we have to pump out some JB ROM's and we're golden. The dev support is there though. With all those things considered, I'm going as far as to say this is the best phone ever made IMHO. Thoughts anyone?

It's okay. I love walking past people talking about how they have the best phone with a GS3 or an iPhone in their hands. Lol

At my school they know my word is golden- I have the best phone available, and nobody else has it. I love being a tech geek. But really, If youre not on sprint or verizon you should just get a nexus 4. Its almost the same thing, but better software side. Also, not many people like LG so not as many users (or devs) as we would like. JB is on its way though. I tried a few methods along with other devs, and well get eventually.

Before I made up my mind on this phone I did a little research..I read so many articles downing this phone..the UI seemed cartoonish..unable to access the battery..no microSD slot..how it had great specs "but"
Man they really missed it on this one
I agree, this phone is truly amazing and I'm certain with its international releases it won't take long for the word to spread

Ya last time at best buy i had this guy run quadrant, on his s3, than I ran quadrant..... I sure u know how that went...
The problem is that there is a new wave of quad core phones that r about to hit the market n over power our bad boys so this absolutely amazing phone will sadly never be acknowledged

Don't agree. Once we had 2 gig's of RAM and 1.5ghz quad core in a phone they pretty much locked future proof in the bag.

Severely doubt that rumor. Samsung is Android's Apple. They will bump as minimally as possible to sell the next model. Quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb storage. Book it.
This phone is the best on the market outside of the Nexus 4. If we can get past this bootimg bull**** from Sprint and LG we'll have a really fun phone. HTC Evo had a very slow takeoff as well, and before you knew it there were too many roms. We're almost there and I love it.
Best phone ive ever had by by far! Love everything about it! Glad i didnt get the note 2. The pro is going to be pimp to.

I can honestly say this is he best I've had so far. At first I was considering the iPhone 5, but too many people at my job had it. Did a lot of research on this phone and saw a lot of people bashing it before it even came out. When the phone was released I went to sprint to get a feel for he phone and they didn't even have it on display! No love was given to this phone at first. I took the leap and bought it at bestbuy anyway. Best decision I made as far as picking a phone. My brother got the gs3 and when I showed him my phone he liked the lgog more. Not to mention his phone is always on the charger as opposed to mine lol. Glad this phone is getting some love tho.

At my school (I'm a teenager) everyone has either iPhones or Galaxy or an older android. No one honestly has the Optimus G, as far as I can see.
And everyone is like "I LOVE YOUR PHONE!!!" I am very happy I got this phone.
At first I didn't want it with rumors being LG wasn't the greatest and....no removable backing. But I bought it and it was the best decision ever.
Only thing that would make it better is if the JB update came to my area already

This may be shallow of me but love how the phone feels in my hand-the form and solid feel of the build. Just feels very well made. How well it works is just a bonus!

Agreed. I almost didn't want to put a case on it because I like the feel of the phone. A case is a must tho.
