I think it will be very popular, much like the SGS3. Also, I think the target audience will be more hardcore users that know what they want in their phone and know about the advantages of custom roms. A lot of casual users that don't keep up with tech probably already just went ahead and got the SGS3, not knowing that this beast of a phone would be coming out later in the year. :laugh:
The reason I didn't get the SGS3 was because I think HTC actually out-engineered Samsung with the HTC One X, but they didn't have a removable battery or SD-card in their phone. I think the Note II will clearly be the best device for at least half a year down the road.

It has both. I assume by #1, you mean 'can you shoot a picture while recording video'.
They are both in the user manual.
From what I can tell, the Note 2 has every single software feature the S3 has. Which makes sense.

Hi,
First of all thank you all for the answers .

Don't worry about anything chris198810 says, he's just a spammer looking to drive people to a ****ty spamming blog. He's only made 12 posts; all of which needlessly shoe-horned video conversion into the thread and almost all of which mentioned or linked to that same blog. The blog itself is just advertising for a 'Brorsoft' video converter app that looks like a scam and the final giveaway is that both the blog and his comments here talk about issues with video playback on a phone that hasn't actually been released yet.

Some questions about the Desire

Hey,
I'm in need of a new phone, so I googled a bit and found a list of the and the 15 best mobile phones in the world and the first was the Desire, and I have some questions about it:
1. Is it really the best phone (in term of hardware.. not the design because its obvious that it isnt the best), why?
2. Does it still have the Multitouch problem of the Nexus? Does it bother in daily use?
3. Does it have limited space to install apps? How much? Why do they do that?
4. I saw a video of the Incredible connected to the TV, can the Desire do the same?
5. Does it have sensors like the iphone has for games?
I'm asking those questions because the phone that i will buy is going to stay with me for ~4 years so i want it to be good for me.
I will use it for everything - calling,videos,music,gaming,browsing..
any reply? I need help so i can choose

No there shouldn't be any difference. They are the exact same phone minus a few small differences.
Pretty sure you will run out of space. I have maybe 2 new 3d games and a few other basic apps and I am already out of space.
But the phone is great, although like every phone, it has it's flaws. You should read the forum as all these topics are discussed in detail.
The more I read about the phone the less i want it! according to this forum its full of flaws/bugs.
But then I read the "Is the Desire actually any good?" thread and lots of replies were very positive so I hope i will have the same feeling when I will get mine.

Reading forums for information is good. But don't base your decision on forum users.
Consider this: If you think there's nothing wrong with your phone, you wouldn't come here to start a thread saying "Hey, my phone is awesome! There's nothing wrong with it!"
So, forum threads are generally going to be negative. I started a thread on flaws & annoyances. But I love the device. I think it's the best I've ever owned.
Therefore, check out the specs page, read the manual, read reviews, and watch video reviews. Then make your own decision.
I saw the incredible connected to the tv:

Can the Desire do the same?

No tv-out for Desire.
It looks like the Incredible uses the Micro USB port to charge and connect to the TV. Could the Desire be the same?

my One X review

Hello all, I know traditionally i only review samsung devices as a samsung mobiler i've decided to branch out a bit and share the love. So here's my review on the One x. Let me know what you think, i'm always taking your comments on board and trying to make my content better.
Out of interest it was filmed on a canon Eos 1100D rather than my galaxy s2 for a change. Hopefully you can tell the difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JwiCQlxhg&feature=youtu.be
and a video of the two flavours of ICS on the galaxy nexus and the one X
http://youtu.be/V4Gidj5dEic
I also took some photos from different angles of the one x...find them at my blog here:
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/htc-one-x.html
Here's a quick comparison of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus vs HTC one x. Which do you prefer?

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!
Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.
nice review
thank you

Ahhyes ! I found it. Please I'll add a note to the description of the video. Thanks for pointing it out
A good video, just one word of advice:
When you want to show something on the screen, dont move the phone closer to the camera, it makes the image blurry.
Best is to just keep it the way it is, so that the image stays sharp and then once you're editing the video zoom in digitally!
That'll make the screen more readable
Thanka for the feed back, seriously guys this all helps me for when I make my next . My next purchase is a proper tripod for my camera lol

[Q] Can port the feature of the galaxy S3?

So the S3 has been shown and the features are absolutly amazing. For the people who have the Desire HD aka this whole sub forum, will we beable to port it. I know the Desire HD has a proximity Sensor, does that mean we can get Direct Call feature? Will S-voice be capable, will it be like siri where we need a proxy or something like that? "Pop up play" where we can play video in any window? Many more. I would like peoples opinion on what is possible and not possible.
Like I say in all my post, I appologize if my post is irrelevant.
All the features can be found here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/samsung/9243535/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-features-at-a-glance.htmlIm aware that the s3 has not come out yet, I want peoples opinions. Thank you and GOOD DAY

I think that it can be possible but we will need to wait until Samsung start to sell the phones over the world and the developers can start to digging in the room and all the features that the S3 have.

The issues will be like porting sense to non HTC based phone. The Software will require the Samsung firmware and drivers. So in the end. There maybe a 1% of it being possible.

[q] good questions!

hi,
why the Galaxy W is considered a Low device?
worth buying it? worth it?
and it is HDPI ou MDPI?
thanks
the wonder is wonderful its one of the fastest phones out there and its only single cored (i think) and that makes it small and fast. its app compatability is great. nearly all the apps that arnt compatible are only root apps and stuff as theyr'e availible for moto droid razar for example. its screen size is ok (unlike the ace/young or whatever. those phones have small (less then average sized screens) which is the reason why those phones have very little app compatiblity. its ram...not what the specs say but it does the job i guess...(one thing worth mentioning is that some games push the phone too hard making it crash sometimes) im not sure if its hdpi (or whatever it is) or mdpi. finaly...the advanced stuff. our phone..isnt..that..known...so realy customisation is hard at times as noone (but 5 people maybe) make roms for our phone so at least you dont have to pick what one you want that hardly...we do have cm9 (alpha currently) which is the best rom on all phones. it is prone to soft bricks and can be fixed easily without the help of samsung. memory is reasonable...ly low for someone like me (an sd card dont help me) but its ok if you DONT update samsung apps. (one sec i have nearly a whole phone full of free space. i update samsung apps and i have no more memory) root isnt realy needed for our phone as we cant do a thing (app compatibility) if theres a root app up there theres usualy a risk of brick as everythings experimental. (things like the s i will get root for things like chainfire) thats all i can think of right now (its midnight where i am so i cant think right) :thumbup::beer: our phone is like a mini galaxy s but smaller in lamest terms. if you cant afford an s get a w. its worth it for many reasons.

thank you for the answer! was very useful!
accepted more reviews!
It's all about point of views.
Galaxy W is like a Galaxy S II being "minimized". So you can say that it is a mid-end phone that has the closest relationship with high end phone.
Regarding from specs and prices, it's pretty nice, though, if you want cheaper mid-end phones which specs almost the same as Wonder, you can look for Ace Plus (the difference is about US $50 )
But again, with US $50 differences , Galaxy W offers better GPU and RAM.
Android is all about the ROM. Simply to say, if you don't root it, it's limited in performance (Samsung's stock roms tend to have worse memory management compared to stock roms)
Galaxy W can play pretty much HD games (with a little lag / without lag once you can solve some memory management issues)
again.. if you want to buy it.. root it
im not afraid to root i have a galaxy ace rooted.
worth change the galaxy ace to galaxy w?
root all you want but...it might not be worth it on our phone apart for customisation. as i said. most root apps are for the well known phones...our phone isnt one.

Strongly agree!!! If iOS is an adult, android is just like a child. There is nothing much for an adult to change and perform much better, BUT a child can learn whatever u give!!!
SGW has good CPU and RAM given. The only drawback is the material built. Its framework is made of plastics (very light) BUT the screen material is GORILLA GLASS (for some region not ALL). Use it with care and it will be a great and cheap phone.

My friend gmaster....
you will need to explain what you mean by that statement??
Of course rooting us the secret to unlocking the full potential of any phone/device...
all custom ROMs are rooted anyway, by default, so there is no option there, but rooting Stock ROMs also allows system write access and de-bloat, better memory management, V6 Turbo Charger recommended, installation of loads if "root-only" Apps, useful Apps, whether for general device management, like Better Battery Stats, or swap internal/external SD for gamers, etc.
Serious Android users need root, simples!!

After reviewing what gmaster1 said again, those are his personal experience rather than facts. I guess he was trying to say our SGW is too new to have most of the useful apps for rooted phone due to compatibility issues instead of "not available" for our phone. However, acro68, cowithgun, Rio, KP... and more xda-developers here have explored many ways to get our SGW better. It is only a 6 months baby now. Give it and give us some times.

I have no major compatibility issues at all, to be true only this one. I am very happy with SGW. I very carefully choose it, I love its form factor, its materials, display size and dpi, its power and responsiveness. I want phone which I can steer by just one hand for a long time without any issues from the heat a heaviness. It is like small grey mouse, nothing fancy at all, but for me it is hidden hero and I love small and cleverly crafted things.

yes. that is what i mean. but apart from that our phone makes other phones look bad. if other phones have root just so it looks good our phone will look even better without.
and also for the person who wanted an example of more useful root apps, chainfire 3D is one that would be a good touch for our device.

On my opinion :| on this phone is not worth it for 400$+ and also :| this phone gonna be phase out maybe october when galaxy w released ( ahmm although they markdown the price before phasing it out ):| anyway . this phone is good than galaxy ace or galaxy ace plus .. as someone said before. most of the application are compatible... but the memory is limited. so you still need to root to get full potential of this phone :| ohh before I almost forgot, What Is better.? Galaxy ACE 2 Or Galaxy W ? srry if off topic :| ahmm speaking of chainfire3D ? it could fix some Problems WIth Other games?? like Nova 2 HD ? coz i freeze there at screen loading.

[Q] HTC One X vs SGS3

Hi,
I do know that's more or less an old topic but well...I have a big dilemma so maybe you should help me out.
I'm owning a SGS3 int. and well I'm more or less fine with it; I choosed it over HOX mainly because of chance to change battery and winner cpu/ram benchmark (with 15/20% more in every damn test) and a bigger screen (not much but better then nothing).
The dilemma started 1 week ago when a friend of mine bought the HOX and well...the screen seems really so much better in HOX.
At the same time, despite few games lag on HOX, the Tegra has some optimized game for it giving some cool effect.
I mainly use the phone to watch movie and play videogames so, in some way, HOX win for me (at least just watching it) so I was thinking to chance my SGS3 for an HOX but I wanted to ear your opinion, hoping that will not start flame or fan boy reply.
I am really interested in opnions of who maybe tried both or who maybe changed his SGS3 for the HOX (like I'll probably do asap).
Thanks,
Max

Hi,
I do know that's more or less an old topic but well...I have a big dilemma so maybe you should help me out.
I'm owning a SGS3 int. and well I'm more or less fine with it; I choosed it over HOX mainly because of chance to change battery and winner cpu/ram benchmark (with 15/20% more in every damn test) and a bigger screen (not much but better then nothing).

There have already been similar threads like this one you should really go searching for them. Cause frankly everyone on this forum is sick of it.
tons of info in the One X mega information thread
and shadehh is right please enough with these comparison threads, they are against XDA rules
few moments now and this thread will be flooded by fools
to mods: we need a sticky please saying comparison threads are not allowed
You have a SGS3 so you already know its strengths and weaknesses. Your friend has a One X so you can figure out what its strengths and weaknesses are specific to the way you'll use it. Like others just said, there are tons of threads discussing the two phones. That should be more than enough for you to make an informed decision. Personally, I don't get "what should I buy?" threads. Everyone uses their phones differently and has different needs and criteria. Do some research and buy what you think is best. That seems more logical than making a decision based on the advice of total strangers.
well i had an amoled screen before and i got to tell u that i prefer the LCD. i am more with ur opinion but that wouldnt make me change the s3 is the battery .it is something that some times u want to have more than anything else.thats the only minus in hox the battery everything else i think are the same with s3

Actually we need some good discussion thread with protagonists antagonists for each phone where every one can say what it is they like about their phone (or disliked on the other).
Anyway I bought the HOX before the SGS3 came out but before the SGS3 came out I already knew Samsung would blow HTC away with its hardware specs but I own a SGS2 and a Desire so I know a bit about the difference in user experience and the whole time I used the SGS2 I was disappointed because i missed all those little Sense touches. Sense just is the best mobile user experience period, nothing comes close in software polishedness (not "even" ios), everything just works and everything is integrated into each other; eg. open the gallery app and see the galleries from your friends there, or browse contacts and go directly to their galleries, the htc keyboard is pretty damn good; I bought swiftkey x when using the sgs2 but I am using just the default keyboard; duplicate contacts are automatically merged in sense; and there is so, so much more; really there is only one touchwiz feature I miss in Sense and that's the smart alarm function....
If your thing is showing of quadrant scores though don't get the hox

The rules sticky already says that. It's just that no-one ever reads it.
SGS3 Sucks . If you are not a fanboy sell it and get HOX . I have used both.

But hasn't this been done? To death? It's all just opinion and there's rarely agreement amongst owners better yet any type of common ground that would hold up in a comparison. Name one feature of the SGS3 or One X that doesn't already have commentary running on it. I don't know whether I'm a protagonist or antagonist (maybe I'm both?) but I'm tired of the circular debates that lead nowhere, don’t change anyone's opinion, and consistently end with the thread being locked. Yesterday's One X vs. SGS3 comparison thread covered race and sexual orientation. Do you really want to go there again?
There’s already a 160 page SGS3 vs. One X comparison thread in the i9300 forum. Why doesn’t everyone use that as the “official” comparison thread? I guarantee you anything anyone wants to discuss has been covered at least a dozen times there.

because for each and everyone it's a different discussion, everyone has their own things they think are important and their own things they think are less important
Thread closed.
Comparison thread are finish.
