- S3 Screen is trivially larger. Most people can't tell the difference.
- Camera is not a wash. Not by any stretch of the imagination. HOX wins hands down.
- S3 can be had with 64gig memory, but not if you get it from AT&T. It wins the storage battle ONLY because of microsd support.
- MUCH longer battery life is absolutely NOT TRUE, at least given equal tests in equal areas with the same carrier. Comparing quad core versions of both phones, HOX wins.
- The S3 is NOT faster.
So wrong on all but one of your items.
Oddly, you failed to mention the removable battery that gives the S3 an edge in some people's mind.
Camera in the s3 is better. the hox has the same sensor thats in the galaxy s2 while the sensor in the s3 is a newer modified version of the one in the iphone 4s. both give you fast shutters, iso's and have decent apetures. alsp the processors may be the same but the larger amount of ram in the s3 will increase performance which does equate to a faster phone at the end of the day. especially on a unix based system. then you have removable battery and expandable memory so yes the s3 is leaps and bounds ahead of htc one x. also multi tasking isnt broken on samsung.
Also don't forget the reason behind shipping the S4 version of the GS3 with 2GB of RAM is because TouchWiz 5 uses a good majority of it compared to the international 1GB QuadCore versions. You won't notice any performance increase and really won't have any spare RAM waiting to be utilized because of this.
The only area the GS3 wins out is in expandable storage and swappable batteries. All the Samsung "features" like S-Voice, Smart Stay, Direct Call etc. are all just gimmicks and don't really increase the UX on the phone.
Also, comparing device support of HTC vs Samsung is hilarious.
[*]The US S3 will be faster than the US OneX, same processor and double the ram...period.
Well, consider yourself lucky if you have never experienced it.

What happens? Is it where you left off?
