I'm a bit sick of my HOV, especially when screen is broken... I'm thinking about buying one of those 3 phones:
SGS III
Nexus 4 (the only thing I don't like it is no SD card slot)
One X
I'm wondering which one is easier and better for rooting... I have to say, that I'm a gamer I think SGS III is the most close to my heart, but I want to know some other users opinions
One X or One X+

Although I find Samsung phones to feel cheap and plasticy, it also has the advantage of having a removable battery.

One X and Nexus 4 have non-removable battery? Cause I'm tired of it, too btw I think that plastic is better than metal... my HOV looks a bit awful... I've droped it few times

Yes. It's the only one with removable battery. Of course, the N4 will always get updates from Google

But it has only 16GB build-in ROM... and I have almost 16GB of music so there's only something about 3GB free space for games, ROM zips, apks etc
But N4 has almost the same processor as SGS III, but 1GB of RAM more... I think N4 is better for games... and it will stay good longer than SGS III... and it's clear android... I forgot about something: 16GB internal storage is only theoretical... it gives something about 13GB to use, and my favourite musice I have to have close takse 11,5GB... why Google has removed SD slot :crying:
that panel with additional buttons in N4 can be turned off, right?
btw, I'm wondering why only one person was talking about HOX
I'd go with the One X/N4 if I were you
And whatever you do, just don't go for the S3... sure it's got an expandable memory slot....cheap plastic feel and that physical home button is a fail
in the end it comes down to personal preference
The One x is a really sleek and sexy phone
put few more bucks and go for one x+. Games are smooth in it,64gb space and plus development. You know whose there in one x+ thread, no need to mention.. Or Oppo find 5.

Why does it matter that it has Sense? You and majority of the people on XDA have a custom rom loaded. Even though the Galaxy Nexus has pure Android, many use a custom rom.
If you were given a phone with 512mb ram and 1gb of ram, I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
An April release is considered good for Android. That's a little over a month away. Android manufacturers are notorious for announcing a device well before the release date.

HTC sucks. After the hd2 there hasn't been one good device from them. Our device will not be outdated. Nexus s and Galaxy Nexus will be future proof. I'm only supporting Samsung they seem to be the only consistent company as far as devices.
How about releasing a quad core hd2 with a better display and ffc. That phone will never die. Endless support.

Actually I don't have a custom ROM. That's why I bought a Nexus lol. And that doesn't mean I can't hate on Sense (had an Evo 4G, and I'm scarred for life). I'm glad they're making it lighter than previous versions, but its still there...

Thing is, its being released already behind on this spec. Phones already have 1gb RAM. It will be VERY tired with 512mb a year from now when I'm expected to still be using it. Not future proof at all with 512mb, that's my point.

The manufacturer doesn't release the original ROM for download so I can flash it back if necessary? Not interested.

The one x is the better choice believe me. Above everything else you should look at a manufacturers past performance. Samsung are woeful when it comes to releasing updates, whereas HTC keep dedicated teams on each model for two years and updates are regular.

I upgraded from the Desire to the HOX & haven't regretted it once, when i saw the SGS3 i was glad i never waited.
The screen on the HOX is far superior & the HOX feels like a superior phone too, besides although the HOX had minor overheating until the first updates they weren't as bad as this.

I just got the galaxy S3 on at&t and I chose it over the One X (despite costing $100 more than the One X) because the features seemed really cool. S-Voice and other little things that would make life a little easier. Stuff like s-beam, s-voice, various motion things, swipe to screenshot, etc. Google now is so much faster than s-voice though and pretty much everything else can be achieved with third party apps. So now I'm wondering if I should return the s3 and get a One X or not.a
Any comments or suggestions that can male this choice easier?

Read the forum. It's not like there aren't 100 other threads regarding this same subject already.
Oh, and see my signature.
S3 would be be an ideal choice than HTC One X.
Ok i will change it up. HOX no way, I but HOX+ I would say that is worth entertaining when it is released.
The only thing worth having in the HOX is its screen. It uses the same cpu, less memory, lower battery, no sd and bootloader locked (I believe it is still the same but not 100%.)
HOX+ will have better screen, less ram, faster cpu and same size battery as S3. Also I believe the HOX+ will come out at either 32gb or 64gb.
Hopefully that helps a little.

So if I'm gonna root it and install Cyanogenmod or maybe AOKP, is the GS3 worth the $100 premium?
I say yes, absolutely. Especially if you also keep in mind the the OX doesn't have expandable storage. We have great development support in the community and your phone will perform better than you thought possible.
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB.
My gf has the gs3 and I have a one s that has the same chip as the hox. I have no idea were the gs3 has more power comment has come from. Out of the box it was just hitting between 4000 and 4500 on quadrant. My one s out of the box was 4500 and up. Running sense on my one s and a over clocked kernel to 2.1ghz I'm getting between 6000 and 6500. I put her gs3 on task and knootesz aokp with the 2.1ghz kernel and I'm lucky if her phone hits 5000. Even in linpack it only gets a 45. She also has been asking me to make her phone snappier like mine because it just pops apps right open. I honestly am kind of bummed because I recommended the s 3 because I thought it would be fun to mess with and pretty powerful but I've just been unimpressed, I was actually a little jealous that she got the gs3 because I thought it would be more powerful than+my phone . I will admit though it has a beautiful screen.
Edit; if the boot loader thing is a deal breaker for the hox, the flash GUI app takes care of the problem

Absolutely. For that extra 100 bucks you get a removable battery and sd card slot, not to mention no more racing against htc and att to find exploits. The One X is as locked down as an iphone.

Right, Okay.
Another reason I've kind of been wondering about the HOX is because I've had two phones stolen already–just this past week it was my Skyrocket, which prompted the upgrade–and since the HOX doesn't have a removable battery, it seems less stealable.Because then they can't remove the battery and the phone can be tracked, right? Or am I wrong about this?

It doesn't make sense to buy any of those devices at that price. Especially not anything from HTC with the ONE coming out so soon.
Many online shopping portals are selling the 16gb nexus 4 for around 24 to 25k. That would be a better option than gnex plus i really feel the next major android update(KLP) will not be as lag free as jelly bean on gnex.

I bounce back and forth between my HTC One S (s4) and Galaxy Nexus.
If you have to choose from both, I'd say the Nexus, unless you love sense. The development community is larger for the Nexus. I like that it has a removable battery and a bigger screen. I'm switching back to my GN after his post.
I don't think there is much development for the S3 version of the One S. I will say sometimes the smaller size of the One S is nice and personally, I think the camera is better.
Goodluck. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Yeah, I bought my wife an N4 as a surprise and now I have her old Gnex. As I said in my last post, I still the the Gnex has some legs, especially given the large development community. Also, I actually didn't mind running the Gnex on stock for a bit. Of the last four phones I've had, this one made it the longest before getting a custom ROM. I finally rooted last night and am running the lastest CM 10.1 nightly.
I will say this, with all the different ROMs available for the GNex, it'd be like having a new phone all the time (if you're a flashaholic). As much as I like my HTC One S and respect the developers, there aren't nearly as many ROMs available. Viper 2.1 (Sense) is great, and I also like Liquid Smooth (AOSP) for the One S,
Both phones have run smooth for me, on different Roms. I'm still trying to get good photos with my Gnex (any suggestions?), so the one big advantage of the One S is the camera.
Again, good luck and let us know what you go with. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions on comparing the two.

LG N4 is $489 for 16gb model here which i think is not cheap like it is elsewhere like in the US, certainly not worth almost $500 like it is here.

thanks for the great responses guy's
and what about performance? casual gaming as smooth as butter on stock?
and people who are having both gnex and one s how do you rate both of them?

Paarth I suggest you to get a nexus 4 16 GB if you get it for around 24k-25k otherwise gnex 16GB for 19k-20k is always a good option but consider a nexus 4 because believe it or not gnex is already close to 1.5 years old....
In the end its always the war between nexuses homie!!!!
you stay in Mumbai mate.. you know we getting it for 34k at alfa.. and gnex for 19k.. now you telme
8gb one i need to enquire now

I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy Nexus to anyone anymore. I bought mine in July and it was considered old even then. I'd go with the S4 or if you can, the Nexus 4.
Gnex is old now, still OK but its hardware is outdated.

Think you'll find everything you need there.
In my opinion, the phone is perfect in terms of build quality and performance. It has quad-core processor and that Tegra 3 chipset makes it wonderfull for hardcore gaming. However, that 1800mAh battery brings all those things down. 720p display and quad-core with that battery... If you use it with 3h+ display on you will have hard time making whole day with one charge.
But don't get me wrong! The HOX is decent phone and amazing for entertainment. I just wish it could have more juice like HOX+

Have fun
Mine was in the repair for 3-4weeks and I used an IPhone 4 for this time.
I cant tell how happy I was while holding the One X again in my hands
It´s thin, light and looks nice.
With Sense 5 its much better! Yea the battery life is not the best but still better than other smartphones.
Thank you D4rk_nVidia!!
Im getting really excited about getting it.
Im buying a second hands one btw,
Are there alot of fakes on the market?
Thank you all for the responds btw!

There are maybe china phones but they got an other name.
No problem

Its a great phone really, battery is not that bad. I can get 6hours of screen time with sense4. With sense5 i can get almost 5hours and this sense 5 is still developing. Looking foward to new kernels.

Sense is defenitly better than touchwiz, its more "classier" refined, plus sense 5 is damn fast.

Hi guys. Im new here although Im having my one X for a year. my comment for this device is brilliant! I upgraded to sense5, change the cover from black to white.it looks new & i didn't feel that this device is going outdated. cause the 4.7 inch screen is the perfect size for me & even u can see HTC One go on with it. still, the quad-core tegra3 with 1gb ram having very good experience in games. i can wait to see the next generation after S4 or One. not going to change neither one even i got extra money.

It´s the first phone where I think that I can use it until I get a new one cause of my contract
I had many other phones but I sold them before the contract ends and bought a other one
