Let's be honest here , who's trading in their X for s3?

[cesjr02]

I have to laugh at the situation. Grown men (I'm assuming most of you are grown, and men) arguing about which phone is better when clearly it's subjective. Second, what does it matter to some if a person is selling their One X for the GS3? Does defending your purchase make you feel better about it?

They're both great phones, both have their strengths. Also, as I think about it. I don't think the extra RAM will make that much of a difference between the two and here's why. More RAM will allow for more apps to be running in memory, therefor, better multitasking. And as an above poster already stated, more RAM doesn't equate to being faster. With the One X killing off apps so quickly, this will not be a noticeable issue between the two phones. Perhaps, if the One X handled multitasking like stock Android, the difference would be more noticeable.

I saw my friend's SGS3 (international version)...This thing is made with ugly plastic...you can close your eyes and tell it's made by samsung...Touch wiz is still very ugly
Absolutely no issues with my HTC EVO 4G LTE (One XL), love the screen, happy with expandable memory, no issues with multitasking, Camera us superb, great battery life with heavy use (have bigger battery than One X)

I already pre ordered a SG3, i will be selling my One X once my SG3 comes in. I can't stand the multitasking on the OX, and Bluetooth has been crap for me and my car. Those are my biggest issues so far and both are annoying on a daily basis. If i thought they would be fixed anytime soon i would stay, but i do not so it's on to the next phone

You may think grass is greener but i will be watching closely...i am happy with my Evo for now...i do have another upgrade coming in December so we will see plus htc will send out an update that is there way samsung on the other hand viewing there track record okay

Heck no, better display and a better camera, why change? Not to mention, a better build with the polycarbonate body. What you are, nuts?

 

[21plays]

wow, do the research first. The exynos is much better than the tegra 3. The s4 is better than the tegra 3 and is up there with the exynos. Although the s4 has an older gpu. The multitasking on the hox is dead.

 

[Speedygi]

I could see people switching to the S3 though, based solely on having external sd card support and removable battery. I'm looking at the AT&T subscribers here.

polycarbonate is plastic. morons...

True in a way, but you probably won't last too long with remarks like that.

Man, did you just call me a moron?

Happy with the OneX but what actually shocked me is that people think it is acceptable to send back their phones because they want the latest or even worse get the S3 and send back if they prefer the htc.

Doesn't seem right to me

 

[mallyuk]

There will always be those folks that think the grass is always greener etc. The One X is an excellent phone.. I'm sure the S3 is too, and despite the minor plusses/negatives which folks can list from now til doomsday they're very closely matched. Anyone who switches will probably feel no happier afterwards than they were before. And will probably want to switch again when the next new top-end phone comes out.

But go for it. The brief buzz of setting up something new is always good for a few days at least, until familiarity sets in.

For the rest of us One X owners, rejoice in your sleek sexy superphone and revel in all the cool stuff it CAN do. Personally, I love mine to bits. It's not perfect but no phone is or ever will be... but damn that screen is gorgeous and it feels sooo good in the hand

Been here done that! I jumped off a few weeks ago! My HTC One X has been returned and my upgrade status has been fix. Now I am awaiting for the SIII's release on June 21st!

 

[speculatrix]

I'm hoping for a SGS3 based version of a Galaxy Note2 ;-)

 

[techgeek32#WN]

What was the selling point for you , screen is better on X that's about it

S3 has more RAM
larger screen
much longer battery life(allegedly)
Faster phone
Camera's a wash from the video review I saw (pics better on X, vids better on S3)

The S3 does look like a stupid pebble/Rock though at the end of the day

You also forgot to mention that only 1MB of RAM is used anyway for processes of the smartphone, so there really is no difference in processing power between the 2MB SGIII and the 1MB One X. I have a GNex that uses the same 2100 mAh battery as the SGIII will have and you won't make it through an entire day unless you keep the screen on 5% brightness and don't use it. SGIII power users will need extra batteries just like the rest of us. The only Android phone that can't be killed in a day is the Droid Razor Maxx. The other glaring point is that as pretty as the SGIII will be it will still have Samsung's bad radios for cell signal, WiFi and Bluetooth. Unless they have finally changed their focus on radio quality I would not expect anything different and I have owned every major Samsung smartphone since they have started making them. Hopefully they have improved them in the SGIII.

I have a one x's cousin so my thoughts count...
I loved wimax and video calling on the evo 4g, but after multiple exchanges, it increasingly sucked ...then came xda + others(thanx) after sprint and HTC tried (kudos).

I've thus far loved the Evo Lte, especially after getting a sneak peek of Lte speeds, no sluggishness, awesome camera! ... But sadly sprint cut my Lte on day 3, no game loft support and other similar complaints as all u peeps... But I realize I'm a fan of HTC and've been since the t-mobile Shadow, so I'm sticking it out!

In the end I would rather complain about one phone and be done with it cuz ppl have already started working on patches, mods, and probably a battery extender (seido plz come thru 4 me again soon cuz I'm a gamer).

HTC has no xcuse to make mistakes on an almost perfect phone, but I look at it this way... the economy sux and making mistakes is good bidness for after marketers and developers... I think?

I would like to play with the gimmickeries on the s3 at a store but based on my galaxy tablet experience, they rarely update but instead come out with other products with the promised version u were hoping for. I would be more impressed if they could update my girls s2 and include some gimmicks!!

2014 when my contract is up I expect to have this same conversation again.

 

[swazedahustla]

LOL, this is hilarious. Anyone with common sense knows that both phones are as similar as they can be. The One X screen crushes the SGS3. The rest is personal perference.

But I wish people would stop talking about 64GB phones, I have yet to hear one carrier who is selling it so until there is a carrier who sells it, it doesn't exist. However you can easily take a 64GB SD card and put in your phone like I do.

 

[numb683]

My decision is made pretty easy. I like my HTC Incredible 1 and love Sense, but I have Verizon and the One X is not available to me. I know they are supposed to be coming out with some kind of amazing HTC phone by fall I believe and because of Verizons intent to force those of us that have unlimited data to tiered plans if we are not already 4G I decided not to wait to upgrade and did it while I could still keep my data plan. My only other reason for getting this phone is to try something new and maybe I'll move back to HTC at some point.

 

[nlocurto]

I have the One X (AT&T) and I have a GSIII Pre-Ordered as well. Once the SIII Comes in I will compare the two for a few days to a week and decide which I'm keeping.

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.

Everything about this post is completely false and based on fanboy opinion.

The HOX produces better stills and has truer colors over the S3 and outperforms in low light situations every time, this has been proven. Image Sense and F Stop.

The S3 wins in video capture, that's all.

The increase in RAM on the S3 is to compensate for TouchWiz running on the dual core LTE chip. You won't be faster at anything and likely won't see any more free memory then you have on the HOX.

Ram doesn't equal speed or performance boosts. You'll also drain your battery faster.

The only thing the S3 had over the HOX is a removable battery and expanded storage, and for most people that isn't a huge deal. I for one stream everything and my battery lasts a full day.

Oh almost forgot, displays.

Oh and almost forgot again, the HOX isn't a Samsung product. So that's another win.

I mean if you want an iPhone buy an iPhone, don't buy an Android that is trying to mimic the iPhone.

I'm guessing that you meant 1-2gigs of memory. Also can you explain how the 2gigs of RAM is not fully being used? If this is the case anyways. Sorry i could have read it wrong...

Cheers...
