HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3

[kachowdhury]

Folks, you have overlooked one big advantage of sgs3 and that is high power user removeable battery. A lot of complaints are surfacing regarding poor performance of HOX Battery and users are stuck with this unable to increase the battery power. But I would still prefer HTC as it certainly have better build quality. My impression after seeing sgs3: " oh no, again that cheap plastic"

Its not a big advantage at all, its a user preference.

Sure, you can remove the battery - but by having a non-removable battery, you gain much more on design & feel.

The AT&T HOX battery has been outstanding for me, besides the display one of the best points of the phone. I had over 10 hours yesterday and battery was at 50%. Heck even Engadget praised the battery of the AT&T HOX.

Dude let it go. Micro SD cards are a thing of the past. Time to move on. Google themselves don't think that SD cards are the way to go for the future.

Exactly. Neither does apple. SD cards are like cassette tapes.

You left out that Apple gives you the choice of 32 and 64gig phones...

Are you HTC shills going to pay for my unlimited data plan because I now have to download everything I want to have on my phone several times a week? Didn't think so.

I'm absolutely stunned they chose to stay with PenTile. Absolutely stunned!

+1. They have to know what a bad reputation PenTile has. I guess they've made their mind up to stick with it no matter what. Won't buy it just because of that.

Finally a SGS3 AnTuTu result, I say this as its the only true multi core test out-there, & is widely known to be the most accurate (forgot quadrant, only supports 2 cores and isn't reliable test after test)

SGS3: 11492

Here is my HOX:

Still think the exynos is SUPER?

My HOX isn't even running android 4.0.4 like the SGS3, just 4.0.3 here.

Plot thickens! Thx for results.

I feel compelled to point out that HTC does give us a choice of 32 gb of storage. ATT decided to gimp that. It is a minor difference but assign the blame where it should go.

I think the article from the VERGE said my feelings best. Towards the article the writer summed it up by saying this...

"I get it, most people think the future of mobile devices is in developing new software solutions, but even if I could keep straight all the S-branded extras Samsung enumerated at its Galaxy S III launch, I wouldn't be able to tell you what difference they're going to make to your life. Not to say that they're all terrible, Smart Stay eye tracking is an interesting idea, but none feel epochally significant. And while hardware is growing less and less important, industrial design still counts, and the Galaxy S III falls below the necessary threshold of a high-quality device (Pentile displays belong in the past), while also failing to maintain the Galaxy S tradition of offering a unique hardware selling point or two.

At best, Samsung matched the HTC One X. At worst, it indulged in a two-month delay of an MWC-worthy device, stoked a frenzy of anticipation that was unjustified by the eventual product, and jeopardized the still fragile growth of its brand reputation among smartphone enthusiasts. I'll leave you to decide which extreme I'm gravitating toward."

The only thing that lets down the HOX is the battery life because of the screen.....Even turning the screen down to lowest level doesnt really help much as u dont really get a days use out of it with modest use.

I do hope that the upcoming update sorts something out.

I prefer SLCD style screens over AOMLED. Sure the colors are nice and the blacks are great , but that pentile look (and lower brightness on auto settings generally) bother me. I loved the ONE X when i saw it in store and even got an at&t line to play with it . My only disappointment in the one X is the 16GB.

Does anyone know, if the Sprint version of the "One X" is going to have an SD slot?

At this point we don't even have confirmation there will be a sprint variant of the One X. I would personally love to see an LTE/CDMA version (but on verizon)

The EVO 4G LTE (which is basically the Sprint version of the One X with minor alterations) will have a micro SD slot. Specs are here.

Sprint is already taking pre-orders on the the One X and I read some where that the Sprint version is going to have an SD slot. Just wanted to know, if that's correct.

It has a Micro SD slot, yes.

Are the alterations better? I just noticed that the battery is different than the One X, does that mean a better life?

I pulled the trigger and ordered the One X yesterday. I am coming from an iPhone 4 and will be a first time Android user. Super excited...I really wasn't wow'ed by the SIII at all. TouchWiz reminds me of iOS and I was looking for a change

 

[chrisjcks]

Now HTC One X is also on Android 4.0.4, we see how it compares to the SGS3 which also runs on 4.0.4

HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3 are good phones.The two phones are very close in terms of size, S3 measues 137x71x8.6mm while the One X 134x70x8.9mm. The same is true in the weight stakes, the S3 weighing 133g while One X a slightly lighter 130g.
