S3
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
I own a one x, two guys here in the office have the S3.
IMO:-
The one x looks nicer than the S3
The S3 equals, or beats, the one x on most (but not all) specifications
The S3 has better battery life, a replaceable battery, and an SD slot, the one x does not.
The S3 has much better audio quality - the one x is awful.
The S3 has a much more active developer community - there are more s3's out there, and there are no issues with s-on/s-off - you can pretty much do what you want to an S3.
Samsung seem faster at getting new roms out for the S3 than HTC do for the one x, and they leak a lot of roms during the development process.
Despite all that, I got the one x because it was basically half the price of the s3
If the costs had been the same, I probably would have got the S3.
Based on your requirements, regretfully, I must say S III. :crying::crying::crying:
But, in terms of usability, charm and charisma - HOX is way better choice. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Ask yourself - would you like to be like everyone else, having the same phone like thousands of others?
Seriously, your question is difficult to answer. HOX owners will say one thing, and S III owners the other. It's like choosing between Mercedes "E" Class, and BMW 5 Series. Both are top of the line, it's the personal taste that makes the difference.
I know this doesn't help, but I felt like saying it. :angel:

I know many HOX users who said they would have maybe went for the S3 afterall. I agree on many things you said though. I possibly would have went for an s3 as well if i knew all this about htc.
But they had a good reputation in the desire days and i thought why not give them a try? Right now i'm at the point where i realised how much this phone doesn't surprise me, i don't care about scratches, i don't care if i drop it frontal, i just don't care. It's my last htc device anyway but i can just try to "enjoy" it while it lasts.
edit: personally i even have my doubts about jelly bean running the way jelly bean should run with sense. Today i flashed a sense ui again, while nice, after nearly over 1 week on jelly bean i realise how laggy sense ui on 2.17 is. It's incredible.
going to switch back to aokp or aosp jelly bean rom when i can be bothered
I've owned my One X since April, it's been great. Thankfully no wifi problems and the camera is ok / pretty good. I've rooted it and installed all the available sense roms, I've come back to ARHD as I like the "stock look". Sadly my Cid is VodaP001 (or something similar) so I can't load the leaked Jelly Bean Roms. Seeming I'm stuck waiting for Vodafone to release a Rom based on Jelly Bean so I can update the Hboot officially. This annoys me, other phones (nexus mainly and Nokias) you can either flash whatever you like or amend IDs as in the Nokia to load non carrier firmware. Even the One S (I think) can have it's Cid amended. Strikes me as odd the way HTC have locked the HTC One X a little too much for my liking. I'm on the brink of getting an S3 and maybe putting the One X on Ebay. Sadly though I do like Sense 4 and I like the camera...not sure I like Touchwiz though...S3's can be bought for £360 new from DigitalRev, One Xs seem to fetch £250 on Ebay, I might bite the bullet and sell it...Oh and I'll miss the One X build quality...that's my thoughts....
Htc one X world best Phone A++++++++++

I personally would go with the HOX just due to build quality alone. Always felt like I was going to break the s2/s3. I don't miss having a replaceable battery or an sd card.

I am sorry for my post , and please delete this
Go for one x+
If price is matter to you, than go for one x. - one x has best screen ever made for mobile device - that means a lot to me
- audio is better on s3 but if you are not audiophile and listening to normal mp3 music, you won't noticed it - much more, because of beats eq it sounds more bassy and louder (for amateur listener better than s3)
- a bit better battery on s3
- touchwiz can't compare to sense, if you are going to flash aosp, you better wait for nexus

1 - ok I am with you on that
2-better battery life ,yes 17% battery drain in 40 minutes 1:30 on screen time( my 1 week experment with the s3 ) ( if this is a better battery life ) than you dont know what your talking about
3- better audio, ok, but one x is awfull, then again you have no idea what you are talking about, and s3 is not that good too.
4 - more active development community :what: , are you kooding me, people buy htc phones for the xda development Community , and if you remember cyanogenmod said no more official cm on the s3 and more developers are doing like him, samsung are ****ng them.
5- faster rom , are you living under a rock or something, htc were always the first one to update there devices, last time I checked, both the one x and the s3 is getting jb at the same time or at least 1 week difference , and leakung alote of roms , the s3 had 3 leaked jb builds in one week .
Sorry if got a little pumped out, but it seems like a troll talk for me .

You're the only troll, everyone kept it civilized until your post.
HOX vs S3? Of course S3. No questions there. Anyway check if you can get X+. It's what original HOX should have been. It can definitely compete with S3.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Totally agree, if u can afford it get the one X+. otherwise just get the regular one x,
yes, on the specsheet the S3 looks better, but in daily use I really prefer the one X.
the main thing on a high end smartphone is the screen, it's the thing you constantly stare at, so you want it to be good. And the screen on the s3 is ok, but no more than just ok. it's bright enough but the over saturated colours really bother me. and that's the great thing about the one X, the screen is just soo amazing. plus touchwiz is probably the worst user interface ever made, in no comparison to sense

Hi All.
So my contract is up for renewal on monday and they have offered me a new phone if i stay with them another 12 months.
I currently have a DHD wich i love to bits, but is there a better htc model. they have offered me a desire sensation, or a desire s, but i have been reading up about the phones and none seem as good as the DHD.
And obviously iphones are a definate no no, although it would be good to get one and run it over in my van!!!!
Any suggestions??

If you're talking about the HTC Sensation, thats the best choice you can make ... Dont know if a Desire Sensation exist... Think in a couple of days theres a way to permroot the Sensation, then you will have a lot of fun with that stuff
Samsung Galaxy S 2 is the smarttest choice, HTC Sensation is the second choice. Both are dual core
I would go for the sgs 2 as well. They have Cyanogenmod nightly builds which is the most important thing to me these days. Further down the list is the superb hardware.
Sent from my Cyanogenmod 7 phone.
Sure, the SGS is a nice one, but in my opinion it looks... simply cheap
I have the optimus 2x and it doesn't feel faster than the DHD. I believe later versions of android will utilize the second core better but until then you won't feel much difference.
To your question, the galaxy s series are very fast and with open bootloaders and everything, but the feel very cheap and plasticy when held ( imo ) I wouldn't buy them over the DHD or the sensation. On the other hand they do have cm7 support but many hardware drivers are missing so they don't work as good with cm as our DHDs do. I bet the Sensation will have a more operational cm built before the sgs II despite the head start. If you don't care about cm though or you don't mind/like the way the sgs II feels in your hand, it's the best you can buy.

i totally agree with you, i think if the Samsung was designed more "stylish" it may be my choice, but the Sensation is really more exclusive (?) ... excuse my Enlish, its not my favourite languige, but i try to do my best

I would stay with the DHD and renew to sim only contract, saves you a lot of money.
Good luck with the choice!
don't brick a phone with a van, use a microwave.. ;-)
The Sensation now has s-off and able to install custom Roms. Think I saw the info on Android Police.
LeeDrOiD already has a custom rom for it. He supports all his roms well and has a high attention to detail.
I personally would have bought one and LeeDrOiD powered it, but it doesn't support 850mhz (edit: 3g) , which I really want now. ....... So a SGS2 on order.

Indeed, now it's only a matter of time before it gets cm and a plethora of custom sense roms.
Thanks for the info.
Wonder if the battery life is any good on those two phones.
i have got both sgs2 and dhd so since you have dhd u know its performance check out this video for sgs2 performance

sgs2 is a great device even better than dhd but i love the sense ui
Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?
Thanks

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!
I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!
short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes
The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had

I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.
Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops
Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

Don't you dare buying it! It's mine, my precious <3.
#Smeagol off
I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.
My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now
I recommend it.
Sent from my HTC One X
Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

I can't help wondering why they chose to release an update that fixes a lot ONLY to the press... It makes no sense to me?

Clearly they weren't sure about it's stability/hadn't bug-tested it enough to release to all of their customers.
Should be out soon though

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.
YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super
I started a new thread to see what do you think for HTC One X and which device are you coming from ?
My first android device was HTC Desire HD and after that i replaced it with the Samsung Galaxy SII but i was missing HTC Sense a lot plus every time i flashed a new ROM the recovery was not the same on the GSII and the development was pretty much the same on every ROM, so i decided to go back and get an HTC device and a got the One X and i am very happy with it!
Happy users: Display, Sense, Design, Internal storage, Camera
Unhappy users: S-ON, Battery life, Non removal battery, No SD card
Original Desire->SGS2->HOX, I too missed sense too much. I like the device especially the screen(finally I can read full webpages unzoomed!) but it's not as fast as I had hoped. I gave my gf the One S before buying the HOX for myself but the One S just appears to be much, much faster. Speedwise the HOX is about as fast as the SGS2
Came from Note....except battery life, everything is awesome

If we are talking only android phones I started with an xperia x10i. Then moved on to HTC incredible S and now to my one x.
Those has been my daily use phones but as secondary phones I've also had HTC wildfire, HTC desire and LG optimus 2x.
Actually I like my hox the best even though I haven't even rooted it.

From Samsung Galaxy S -> HOX. And I'm VERY happy! Kies was real pain in the ass!
I customized SGS after one day of use, now I don't even think about to put custom firmwares to One X.. No need to customize.
I come from a total HTC lineup...Desire,DesireHD,Sensation and now the One X.
I love the One X but i`m very sad at the way HTC have made it harder and harder for true enthusiasts to get total control..i.e. locked bootloaders,no S-off.Seems HTC want to forget their rooting community
Came from HTC Sensation and happy with the One X:
1: bigger and better screen
2: quad core CPU
3: internal storage
4: design is better
5: better camera
Not so happy about:
1: non removal battery
2: no SD card slot
Came from the dinosaur age, nokia e66
Htc one x as my first android phone
Happy with: Big screens+awesome display, quad core, awesome design
Unhappy with: S-on, built in battery
Desire -> Desire HD -> One X
Honestly couldn't be happier with my HOX! Coming from a DHD - and even then not using a spare battery - the battery in this is so much better, so I don't find it to be an issue. Also, no expandable memory isn't an issue for me as beforehand I only had an 8gb card, I know they fairly inexpensive to buy but having 32gb from the off is brilliant.
Other points I love are the camera, gaming and Sense 4.0 of course!
This is my first android device after being an Apple user for years. Couldn't be happier and will never go back
Came from Galaxy S and samsung sucks! HTC One X is best! I just need S-ON others are perfect!
Coming from the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Very happy in comparison, its very nice to be able to charge my phone via the USB cable!
When USB ports break, it makes you appreciate them a lot more!
I'm an old HTC addict, changing my cellphone every ~2 years
spv C500 >> HTC Tytn2 >> HTC Touch Pro 2 >> HOX
of course, HOX is a big improvement for me !
Used HTC Desire & then moved to Sony Xperia x10i(Indian launch was delayed & i somehow liked this device over Desire because of even battery life etc) & now the One X
I like One X for larger display, ICS, uni-body design, Quad Core & of course the Sense UI
Dislikes would mainly be battery life, non user accessible battery
I came from Original Desire and very happy with Hox
Better and bigger screen (Love It)
Bigger Internal storage (and this why I hated My Desire)
Beats audio
ICS+Sense 4.0 (F*** TW)
htc better than other Manufactures and faster in Updates ( Samsung the worst)
The best design ATM
Comming from the HTC Hero, first impression: The screen is huge! Like it a lot actually, finally I can read/write mails properly on this screen. Doesn't really fit in my pants just yet though, but then yet again when I got my Hero I first thought that bugger was quite large. Guess I have to get used to the feeling.
HTC Hero was also the first device which had HTC Sense, back then it was quite sluggish and I quickly embraced AOSP ROMs. But at the One X, I think they quite hit the nail. It is quite functional while the speed is just massive.
I came from iPhone 4s and iPhones for the past 4 years.
I just needed a change. I can get all the stuff I Jailbroke stock on the one x. I'm liking the change

I come from a touch hd/DHD/ and now my one x. Can't comment properly as only had it a day. But so far I'm impressed. First thing I did when I got it was unlock and put ARHD on it best thing I did tbh. The stock was horrific... :-\

I still have my Note, didnt get rid of it yet. Bought the One X for my sister, but it will be with me until her exams are over.
I got a defective piece to begin with, but HTC took it back and gave me brand new sealed pack piece (This time it was 24A and it is flawless).
Overall I am OK with the phone. No issues with interface, I quiet like the Sense 4.
MY problem is with the buttons. Volume and power buttons should have been better. (Operating them when laying on bed at night can be a problem due to lack of feedback and difficulty in finding power key )
And coming from Note, the battery life is little bit of downer. Also hate the battery stats issue where it does not show the real battery usage and indicator suddenly drops 5-10%.
Surprised by the screen quality. Good stuff from HTC in that department.
Not happy with 3 dot menu at all. Its stupid. Consolation is that we have fix and button remapping mod.
I have mixed feelings about this phone. I am also not wooed in by the polycarbonate build. Its amazingly light, but It feels odd in hands. Maybe its just matter of getting used to it. Also I dont have case for it yet. So once that comes, this should be non issue.
Great stuff from HTC in a while, but dont think its the best they could have done.
Hi at all! some day ago i broke my HD2 so i search for a new smartphone! my choise is on one X and Gs3 I know that for now the one X with stock rom have a worse ottimization (like with animated wallpaper). so I ask you what's the best phone in this area,if one have the sotck rom or some other from XDA:
battery
performance
with the new rom form XDA one X is better that GS3 or GS3 continue at be the best phone for performance and battery?
I had a look at a S3 the other in day in store and I was quite impressed but at the same time not disappointed with my choice of the HOX.
I do like the sense launcher and some time soon I am going to flash a custom rom to speed things along but from what I've read and seen both phones are nearly identical performance wise.
If you are into flashing custom roms and things I would go with the S3 as they have already released the source code for it while where stuck over here trying to get S-off
thanks so with the new rom you have noted some improvement in the battery life? beacause for now this is the real difference between one X e SG3 for me i Have fear that the one X have a small battery
From a pure hardware/features standpoint, the GS3 is a beast.
Personally, I like the way the HOX looks/feels, though and I'm a sucker for the contact integration of the social networks. Touchwiz has a long way to go before it's that refined.
but for the daily use the one X have some lag with the custom rom? I see in a lot of review a bug with animated wallpaper and the stock browser is terrible with flash respect the one s and Gs3 :/
so with the new updates or custom rom this problem are solved?
The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone, I love the HOX and the curved look, and sense is awesome, I must have installed all other launchers and ended up back with sense.
The GS is a little too..... simple, or presice, the HOX is a Tegra 3 Daddy, dont worr about the battery as my model and if you buy one yours will be fine and last 2 days easy. Its eraly SN versions having issues not new ones.

sorry,but I don't understend the phrase "The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone". I want said that SG3 is better of HOx?
I'm worry about battery and lag,beacause in a lot of review HOX have some lag and a lot of people said that is not optimized

But I don't understand how much is big the difference in the game. with one X there is some game that go slow?like Mass effect or some other new games?

in daily tasks both are the same, no one is going to notice, in games the hox has support for the high graphics tegra 3 games, with development support by nvidia.

making a statement without any justification for your conclusion is pointlessly unhelpful.

HOX: better screen, camera & design.
SGS3: unlocked bootloader, removable battery, sdcard slot.
If you can't make a decision from that simple summary then it doesn't matter, you'd be happy with either.

I just got my one x a few hours ago and I think it is awesome. I'm definitely buying the pebble blue galaxy s 3 though. Just be happy with your purchase. Both great in their own way.

I dont like the samsung TouchWiz interface. HTC Sense is way better in my opinion.
I had HTC Inc S, then got the SGS2, wasnt really happy with it, mainly the interface, so got the ONE X and love it.
Its fast and battery lasts well, I get 2 days of average use before recharge. Allthough when I use it as a Wifi hotspot for 6 hours will only last me 1 day.
in my honest opinion
I have my HOX now for the past month and I am satisfied...
Just satisfied as it delivers where it should as in Graphics, Performance, UI, Integration and sleekness, however the only major downfall I would say of the HOX is the Battery and not having a removable SD card.
Battery life too short and not being able to expand the memory is a downfall
So with only those 2 aspects in mind I would change to a GS3
Otherwise I am happy with my HOX
Hi Guys,
As per my signitaure yes I am using an international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
Now I have been down with samsung since the first galaxy so I am a bit tired already of the same features..
, I know its a violation to mention other devices in this section
But coming friday, I will be swapping my phone with an quad core HTC One X but I have read this one dreadful article,
Wifi-Bug!!
Now, I was viewing a lot of reviews and now is more confused but I really wan't to have the first hand ideas from HOX users themselves..
So how does it compare to the S3 in terms of;
-Gaming,(I play Gameloft games like MC3,MC4, Wild Blood, NOVA 3, interested in Tegrazone games hence the interest to switch)
-Camera
-CM 10.1 Stability? (it sucks on the S3 btw)
-Staying on stock ROM 4.1.1+root is worthwhile for the timebeing? I am now becoming lazy of flashing roms LOL
-Build quality? Does the white one stain easily?
-Wifi Stability? (read that article regarding wifi issues with this particular handset)
Please please help me out guys with such dilemma before friday, thanks in advance!!
anyone could help a bretheren in thy dilemma?

Gaming is awesome! Even my Nexus 7 can't play as good as One X.
Camera is very good, but on CM it's worse than on Sense.
CM 10.1 is stable, working fine if you've got 1.12 H-BOOT or lower.
I'm stuck at ViperX, best ROM for this phone.
Build quality is way better than samsung, though I have the grey one. The screen scratches pretty easy if you've got sand in your pockets.
Wi-fi is fixed in newer models, if you'll get one from the store, then you'll be safe I think. Wi-Fi is much better on Sense.

Whoah thanks much!
I pretty much game only in my smartphones, I thought Nexus 7 was the same tegra 3 platform? oh well.
I read somewehre thath lowlight pictures are good with the HOX
CM10.1 needs parts like different kernels, etc? not a one time flash?
ViperX rom is based on 4.2.2?
Yeah that's one factor that attracted me to the one x its the build, would it get stained with jeans? Yeah I am in the Mid East, we have lotsa sand here.
Oh this phone was like used for about 6 months, still has wifi issues? signal drops or cuts off? in stock Rom you mean?
1. Quite good. Gets a little warm though and battery life will definitely be a problem.
2. Nice quality on Sense ROMs, but on AOSP, not so good.
3. Beta-3. Extremely stable whatsoever.
4. If you like stock. Most people don't.
5. Solid, if you get a device from a newer batch. Some of the earlier models had weird gaps, wifi problems etc.
6. Never had any issues.
Keep in mind, we don't have S-OFF so you need to flash kernels and recoveries using fastboot commands which is a pain in the ass.
If I was you, I would never exchange SIII to a hox though.
Guys anymore points I need to consider?

Nexus 7 has 1300 MHz, One X got 1500 MHz.
You don't need any special kernels with CM10.
ViperX is based on latest Sense build, Android 4.1.1 and Sense 4.5/4+.
I don't have any Wi-Fi issues after 8 months of usage, but the screen on my Desire Z looks better than the one on One X.
Also, there's a *thanks* button, so you don't need to write the whole word

1. that wouldn't be much of a problem, do you have gameloft games installed? I read somewhere it is laggy for HOX, true?
2. that's nice to know
3. Beta 3 you mean CM10.1 based on 4.2,2? wow if very stable!
4. Lazy to flash but yeah I am capable of doing so.
5. I wish this will be part of the newer batch.
6. Issues on? How about that 3 button menu icon that appears in apps, can it be disabled?
7. How are the headsets which is supplied? is it symmetrically wired of maybe the right earbud has shorter wiring than the left (that kind of headsets I don't like)
I thought there was already an S-off released for the HOX, I'm sure I have read it somehere here.
Was thinking of the HTC one X even before having an S3

hox scales the cpu depending on how many cores its using, 1.5 = 1 core, 1.3 = 2 cores, 1.2 = 4 cores anyway
hox has better camera, faster in benchmarks and looks better outside and n screen
s3 has removable battery, sd slot, 50 GB dropbox and that nice eye tracking app.

1. Nope not at the moment.
3. Yes, it is 4.2.2 and haven't found any problems or bugs.
6. WiFi issues. The on screen menu button menu can be disabled if you have a stock ROM higher or equal to android 4.0.4. All of the custom ROMs have the button disabled by default.
7. It's symmetrical.
S-OFF was released for the North American variant of One X, not our phone unfortunately.
Wanna swap phones with me?
I have this 2 devices. One x white and gs3 white.....
I prefer the gs3 over one x..
Why?
Better GPS, camera is really better than hox. Video Call over 3g, better runing games without lag. The wifi connection is better and sound have a big diference, makes hox looks soo poor
