    Default Why S3 and note HTC One-X?

    Just curious if you had the choice, why you went with S3. Reviews seem to be in favor of the One-X.

    Better Design, better screen, Sense(though subjective). I have the international version so 32 GB is enough storage. HTC Image Sense and Tegra zone.
    That why.

    I had the one x but the limmited storage space crippled me and w/o knowinq i couldnt get move apps or get game data to save on the sd card that kinnda sucked too but im cool with it cause imo,the s3 looks really nice. I do miss htc sense since ive used it for 4years. But the s3 has some pretty sweet features the one x doesnt,and i love larger displays. (: So s3,bassace(:

    Yes, a tough decision especially since the One X screen has better sunlight viewing. But in the end, Samsung has added many more features, as well as the device having REAL multi-tasking unlike Sense. And the ability to increase storage with a 64 gb SD card and have a back up battery makes the GS3 superior. I don't think there's a perfect device including the new iPhone. But in the end, it's personal preference. The GS3 is thin, fast, sexy, full featured and has an awesome screen, as well as being built by a solid company. You see very few people having to exchange their devices in comparison to HTC also. I've had mine for about 5 weeks and it has been flawless from the beginning. And I get GREAT battery life with it too.

    I am not sure what reviews that you have been reading or viewing but the consensus among the more well-known review sites would disagree. You are buying a device for its overall quality and performance. In other words, substance over style. The HOX lacks expandable storage and removable battery. TouchWiz is more focused on the user experience. The camera is so much better and it's options more intuitive on the GS3. As mentioned earlier, more true mult-tasking capabilities. It has Smart Stay and Video PopOut. Active thumbnails in the video gallery. SVoice and S Note. ALL Share. DLNA capabilities. 2 GB of RAM in the GS3. Quadrant testing by far favors the GS3.

    I waffled back and forth but ultimately the One-X's lack of an SD card slot was the deal-killer for me.

    I was debating over both for a while and went with the S3...the One x and the embedded battery and no expandable storage was a no go for me.

    I had both the One X and the S3... twice. I'm back with the S3 for good. While I LOVED the screen on the One X, it just didn't have the storage capacity or the features to compete with the S3. Plus, I do believe Jellybean will land on the S3 much faster than the One X.

    I had both, but I ended up keeping the One X. Battery lasts long enough for me, and I keep all my apps on music on my iPod touch. Storage isn't a problem.

    EDIT: Woops, going off title here. Hehe, my bad. Anyway, if expandable storage are must-haves for you, then the S3 is the phone for you.

    S3 is just a better device over all! HOX however is better by design imo. Samsung just did a better job over all with its features and options. Something as simple as Multitasking is broken on the HOX. So I picked the S3.

    I too had the One X for a few weeks before I exchanged it. Some days I wish I hadn't. The dealbreaker for me was the storage space. Since AT&T backed out of the Dropbox deal I would've been left with only 10 GB of space, which was unacceptable for me. I still respect it as a superb phone, it just has some tragic flaws. I've come to love my Galaxy S3 after resenting it at first (that One X screen was breathtaking). I think the camera was a bit better on the One X, but the GS3 is no slouch.
