[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

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652250

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.

Review

I know this doesn't relate to S3 but if you guys can give me some feedback on my review for HTC ONE V as HTC Teen reviewer program
http://androidreviewerak.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/htc-one-v-full-review-htc-teen-reviewer-program/
Anything I can improve on!
Thanks in advance

If you know this has nothing to do with the S3, but rather the HTC One V, post it in it's proper place.
Your review is very subjective. When talk about speed, you say it's slow, but slow compared to what? Use numbers, benchmarks would help, especially 3 month from now, when a new generation of phones come out.
your review also focuses on the superficial. I know you are a teenager, because you say it, but don't make your review sound like a 12 year old boy who only cares about how "cool" something looks. What about battery life? How loud the phone is? Reception? Storage size? All those would play in to how a phone can be "used".

Oh you even ask why...nvm u will see

He's just trolling. Does it all the time, so don't worry about it.
But I do agree that this is in the wrong place and should be in at the very least an HTC One variant forum. I understand why you put it here (being that you are an SGS3 user-probably should have put that in your OP) and are just wanting peer review. Best place to get peer review on a product is probably that product's forum.
I'm not the Mod for this section but you can request the thread moved, otherwise you might get more of the same responses.

Thats exactly why I put it here and troll level over 9 000 haha but its cool if a mod can move this for me please to htc one v general
I was hesitant to post this in the first place I dont mind gettin it moved

I asked for it to be moved. Should be sometime soon. You'll get far better peer review over there, than you will here.
Good luck in your writing.

I get it, it is very difficult for one with your intelligence to realize that when you review a htc one v device that should be posted on the htc one v forum and not on the samsung galaxy s3 forum...huh not sure, maybe these two names sound very similar to you probably

Makes sense. I understand ill add and edit it tonight. Thanks for the input.

If it is in the wrong section, just report it then and be done with it. In the report button, there is a topic for "moving a thread/ maintenance".
And I took the right pills this morning btw.

Wooooh harsh! op u should have this in the right place tho. Keep doing what u are doing and have fun. Focus more on what people want to hear like, multitasking, features it has, like the one guy said speaker, reception, etc

Dafuq?
Are you mad?
one v has 3.7 inch screen not 4.3 inch.
Also, this is one v not one s. Please edit your review.

Thanks so much for the feedback guys! That HTC ONE s error was a noob error, I was supposed to get the ONE S thats why. Sorry about that
I updated it. Lemme know if I need anything else guys,
Thanks a lot

Yes, you can make this review a lot better by writing something about the phone. IMO even temple run does not run on the stock rom. Also, sense is much better than touchwiz.

I don't think so ^ I guess I'm just used to the TouchWiz UI lool

I think touchwiz is just **** and samsung would do themselves a favour by using stock.

Not sure what to make of this mess. His review is about the One V. This is the One V forum, and the thread is posted in the One V general sub-forum, so unless this was already moved I don't see what the problem is. Also, this goes to everyone: If you see a violation or mis-post, just quietly report it and carry on. Confronting the other person only starts a flame war, and puts you in the hot seat, which could lead to consequences. TBH, I thought the way some of you treated the OP was absurd. He is only looking for feedback, not to be berated in front of other members.
Flaming another member for violating the rules, is a violation in and of itself. Please refrain from flamatory or disruptive behavior towards other members. Those found participating in this type of behavior will be dealt with.

Going Back To Note II

So after about 2 months with the ZL I ordered me a Like New Note II on Amazon, Lost money in this:/ should had never switched. Paid 635$ for the ZL and cant even sell it for $500 Not even locally. so I`m in debt for a little til I sell this. The ZL is a GREAT Phone, I just miss the extra .5inch screen and most of all I miss samsung, I never liked Samsungs software but EVERY time I end up getting a different brand of a phone I ALWAYS end up going back to samsung always been like that since the Galaxy S1 haha.

the ONLY reason I wanted to leave was that i Was tired of samsungs software it sucks. I do love Sony`s Software.

This thread is going to get shut down

Report it. Like I'm doing now. This isn't facebook. No one cares when you switch phones or what color shirt you are wearing today. Post something about the Note 2 and no one will give you crap. Post this pointless crap and you will get flamed. If you want to post dumb things go to off topic.

Wot? Samsung's software sucks? I wouldn't switch to AOSP just because I'll miss out on Touchwiz functionality.
Anyways, pointless thread is pointless.

Off topic=
This is a development site in the Q&A section ( which should be general ) meaning it relates to experiences not solely development. Also subject matter is in direct correlation to the OP. If you feel it is inappropriate content you should direct attention to a moderator, not try being one. /off topic
Maybe more explanation as to why the devices are different and reasons why you prefer one to the other would be more beneficial.

Clutter.....

Getting my M8 today! Wanting your opinions.

I just got a free upgrade from my insurance company from the m7 to the m8. I'm pretty pumped because I've watched a TON of reviews and comparisons for this phone and, besides battery life, I quite enjoyed my m7 for the time I had it.
I am just curious what are your opinions on your M8's. What do you like? What don't you like? What problems have you noticed and then found a fix for? Which rom do you prefer using? (I was using Venom)
And anything else you think a new M8 user should know.
Thanks

So you make duplicate threads that are actually kinda useless. It's all about what you think of the phone .....

First off, I didn't know all of my questions were already in a thread. So there's that.
Secondly, I know it's what I think of a phone, but before I buy a car, I'd be stupid not to ask someone who has owned one for a few months and has toyed around with it.

I believe he thought you made 2 threads asking the same question (duplicate posts, or cross posting), but it looked like your thread was actually moved here from the "General" section, as I'm pretty sure I saw it there earlier. Although similar content (opinions on the phone) can likely be found in several other threads.
The M8 is a wonderful phone. I can't personally speak of comparisons with the M7, since I basically "skipped" a generation and came from the One X (EVITA). But I've seen folks mention that the M7 had issues with blue or purple tint to photos, which is not an issue on the M8.
I love the front facing speakers, and overall build quality. Nice display, and responsiveness is very smooth and snappy. Not really anything I don't like about the phone.
Some folks complain about the camera (MP), but I think many of them are obssessed with meaningless spec numbers as opposed to looking at the actual quality of the pics that are taken. If you look at the picture threads, they basically speak for themselves in terms of what can be done on this camera. The dual camera is a kinda cool, if a little gimmicky.

On topic: no but you can try alternative launches that have touchwiz themes.

Gah, why would you want laggy Touchwiz? This hurts to read XD . No offence. Samsung can make things look pretty sometimes, I'll agree to that much.

Actually, when I used TW on my note 2, I never experienced lag or choppiness. Maybe it has changed since then?

Sorry. I meant no offence. But yes, it's troll food. There are a lot of anti Samsung users on the M8 forum.
And on XDA in general. Most Samsung owners here own them for the specs, and flash AOSP ROMs. Just sayin....
Coming to a M8 forum looking to make your phone look like a Samsung device is almost considered blasphemy.

Yes, it has changed since the Note 2 days. On 2014 devices (Galaxy S5 and Tab Pro lines, that I know about) TouchWiz is a laggy mess. Most attribute it to the UX Magazine interface.
