SGS2 & Sensation Tested

Wow. From preliminary testing, the Sensation's performance is pretty underwhelming. I was seriously considering it before I got the SGS2 because I've had a lot of luck with HTC phones and I like the QHd screen. I'm not Sensation bashing but the results speak for themselves. The phone got really low quadrant scores when it was tested pre-production as the Pyramid. They've improved, but not tremendously.

SlashGear 5/20/11 - In terms of performance, the Galaxy S II keeps its crown at this early stage. We ran benchmarking tool Quadrant Advanced, and the Samsung scored 3504 overall, with 7119 in the CPU category. In contrast, the HTC managed 2245 overall, with 5918 in the CPU category. I/O is also low, at half the score that the GSII manages. Bear in mind, though, that raw benchmarks generally don’t tell the whole story, and depending on how HTC (and Samsung) throttles its processor, results will vary widely (you can see that in the video above, where both phones get different in a different run of Quadrant; the CPU appears to be so new that Quadrant can’t identify it, either, in the System Info pane).
It’s too early to say whether the Sensation offers enough to take the Galaxy S II’s spot at the top of our Android leaderboard, that will have to wait for the full review. Its display holds up surprisingly well to Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus, though we’ll have to see whether it can match the GSII’s impressively lengthy battery life.

For skeptics, go here and watch the benchmarking and web browsing tests of the Sensation before leaping to its defense.

P.S. - I'm sure as HTC's flagship it's a great phone and will undoubtedly serve millions of users well and develop a loyal fan base. But, for this user, I'm happy I went with the SGS2.

take note that resolution in the Sensation is higher than SGS. Given that though. Still Samsung's own Exynos chip craps over all others.

In fairness to the HTC, Quadrant scores really have to be taken with a pinch of sodium chloride for the most part. Still, unless they have put a decent battery in the thing, I can't imagine it will compete in that respect. The Desire HD has a terrible battery life.
EDIT - having looked at the HTC's specs it really is in 2nd place behind the Samsung in my view. At best it could match the performance of the Exynos but I suspect it won't be able to when software is written to take advantage of Samsung's chip, it only has 768mb of ram (as opposed to 1gb on the GS2) and 1gb of internal storage unless you put a card in it (in comparison to 16gb on the GS2 currently). Then there is the battery life which is less. You only have to look at the screen shot above to see the screen isn't as good quality wise. In fact, apart from the increased screen resolution and perhaps HTC Sense, I can't see a single thing I would take over the Samsung.

You realize quadrant doesn't use multiple cores right? Quadrant is a **** benchmark, use smartbench2011 or something (btw I knw u didn't test these)

I wonder if there is any method to test the full potential of the gpu bypassing the 60fps cap? Just to know what this is capable of

I wouldn't have been so taken aback if it was just one benchmark by one source. The only reason I'm even following the Sensation is I could have gotten it for 1/2 of what I paid for the SGS2 and wanted to see if I made the right choice (and I'm objective enough to admit failure). It's still early and once more are in the wild we'll see how it fares in things like battery life, camera, sound, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS which we have no shortage of comments on.
Watch this, it's a benchmark of Quadrant and Linpack and the reviewer is certainly being objective:

And this is real-time browser performance:

Again, not bashing the Sensation but both HTC and Samsung have gone out of their way to position the Sensation and SGS2 as their "flagships" opening up the right to be critical. With people on this forum going nuts about a .05 second delay after hitting the home button imagine the hue and cry if the SGS2's browser behaved the way the Sensation's does.

WOW, and that's with "on demand" flash..? the SGSII gets WAY better than that with "always on" It really is like night & day when it comes to performance. I guess you gotta take into consideration that the sensation IS a QHD screen..? More pixels..? Either way, the super amoled + makes up for that loss and then some.

Galaxy S2 is better but I love the build quality of the Sensation

The sensation has the same problems everyother htc phone has. Your guaranteed to have crappy audio(tiny sound) and dust under screen.
Does the qhd screen make sensation near a 1000 points less then the sgs2?

Looking at the article on Anandtech
anandtech(dot)com/show/4144/lg-optimus-2x-nvidia-tegra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/4
The Qualcomm CPU is only partially out of order. It is more similar to a Cortex A8 than the Cortex A9. Since A9 is faster than A8, I guess, clock for clock comparision, Sensation's slower performance is expected.

Starting to wonder if the bad audio (both loudspeaker, and tinny call quality) have something to do with the build materials used? Both Samsung and Motorola = plastic and have superior sound in comparison. Sigh, guess I'm waiting until a Canadian carrier picks up the GS2, and hopefully by then, most issues with it are sorted.

Your not alone. Not that I didn't like it, I just find LauncherPro better. ON my Desire - it's a LOT let laggy. A few widgets and it was lag-central on Sense - but i will miss the general UI if I get a GSII such as the round-edged-rectangular boxes, the colours. I generally prefer it to the blocky rectangles on TOuchWiz, but then again TW looks really sleek.
Also people must stop confusing build quality with "feel". the build quality is "supposed" to be superb. it's made from a lot of plastic, yet there are no creaks. It's the the lightness and the "feel" of the plastic that makes it feel like a "poor" phone. There is only one upside though - when you drop it, because it's not heavy it's not going to hit the ground with as much force.
(feel free to correct me if you actually have a GSII, which I don't! :/)

haa. Just trying to apply physics GCSE revision to real life situations!

The SII still surprises me possitively :D

So,not only is the S2 as smooth as every quad-core phone rocking ICS right now,but the Exynos is more powerful than I initially thought.And it's the first time I don't draw my conclusions based on benchmarking crap.
So,to explain what I mean.I was watching a movie on my phone.Avatar in particular,which was 1080p,with a huuuuge bitrate(the file was almost 12gigs big) and yet,the phone played it as smoothly as my PS3 without a hiccup or even getting warm.Even more interesting though,is the fact that I am able to watch some 720p and even 1080p videos,albeit without huge bitrates,using software rendering mode.I knew our GPU could handle HD easily,but the CPU?I mean,even desktop dual-core CPUs sometimes struggle with HD videos when they can't use hardware acceleration.
Anyway,I just wanted to share this to remind everyone that the S2 is still a beast.If I had to choose between the Tegra 3 and the Exynos 4210,I don't think I'd choose Tegra 3.

For a 1 year old phone it's still holding pretty well. Right now quad cores are a bit of an overkill, and they come at a price, lower single threaded performance, but hey it's a good selling point so why not. Personally, I think the Snapdragon S4 is the first SoC to dethrone the Exynos 4210, at least on Android.

Exynos is the best processor out there (though the s4 is really sweet)
Like they say "No car can be great without a great engine".

Yep,the S4 is one hell of a SoC.The only thing out there right now that would convince me to give up my S2 for something other than the S3.But for now it's only in the One S.If they had made the One X with the S4,I'd already have bought it.But no,marketing won like yesteryear.The Tegra 2 was advertised as the super wow dual-core beast,but it was more of a competitor to the S2 than it was for the S3 and the Exynos.

Exactly.And we have a V8 here.V12 might be better,but still the V8 is sweet.
Still,my point is that it's better than I originally thought it was.

You know I was looking for a phone for some time but each phone had some faults which made me postpone my decision. Then the Galaxy S2 came out and gsmarena tested it and the sound quality was not really up to the standard of the original Galaxy S. So I had almost written the S2 off as well, but then I saw one video where they played a 1080p Youtube video in the native browser and it played flawlessly, this was the moment that I pulled the trigger(in my head) and bought it soon after. The thing is the other phones were struggling to play 1080 in native app and the S2 was able to stream and play in the browser with flash.
I was impressed with the rest of it, camera was good so I decided to just accept the average sound quality so I bought it. To this day it is one of the best purchase I have ever made.

I wholeheartedly agree with you tolis. This phone is really the best I have ever owned.
So far I had two smartphones in my lifetime; the iphone 4 and the Galaxy S2. And although I felt that the iphone was somewhat smoother in the overall experience, the S2 kicks ass feature-wise and comes out as the winner in many respects.
One of the things that bother me sometimes is the overall build quality which isn't particulary bad, since I dropped it several times on concrete and nothing seemed to harm this phone except for a few scratches here and there (and even those were hard to make out), but at times it feels cheap in the hand, although this might be a minor issue I guess.
The 2nd thing is the output quality of the soundchip; it's just atrocious if you listen to music through headphones, it is not as bad if it's connected to external speakers.
Overall I must say that I will be struggling to give this phone away, even if the new generation is just behind the next corner because it is still as powerful, or even more powerful than most phones on the market right now, so to upgrade to a new one if you are still completely satisfied with your current device is kind of senseless in my opinion.
This would also support the idea of planned obsolescence.

Incredibly ugly? Talk about an overstatement, and on the contrary I find HTC phones have a stylish look to them. It's not like Samsung has been breaking any beauty records

I love how durable these phones are. I work construction with a buddy, we both have the S2 and were both amazed how well the phone puts up with abuse. i've seen phones with dents on the back, mine personally has a ding on the front edge that would have shattered any iPhone out there.
Battery life is great for what i use it for and considering the size of screen, resolution is ok, the USB adapter i have to plug a USB memory stick into my phone is just sweet, overall this phone is a beast and im kind of glad theres new phones coming out to drop the price of the S2, you can get a used S2 here for like, $200 cdn? hard to pass that up if you dont wanna get locked into a contract!

Your headphones are the problem for poor sound quality. I am deep into music and use AKG 450 headphones. They cost like £80-£100+ depending on were you buy, but they cover virtually the widest range of frequencies you can find. Change your headphones and try again

Use a good piece of source (at least 198Kbps to 256Kbps depend on people) and a Okay sound card / DAC + Amp, plug your AKG in it and you will feel how crappy S2 audio output is.

Regarding the sound quality of the S2,I ain't impressed,but it's not that bad.Ok,it's complete crap if I compare it to my PrimaLuna RCU amplifier+Vienna Acoustics(don't remember the exact models) speakers,but not at all crappy compared to other mobile devices.It's by no means the best,but it's not the worst.Let's hope that the S3/whatever it'll be called will be better in that aspect.

Still,an overclocked Mali-MP400 built with a 32nm process will kick the ass of almost every mobile GPU that is out and will be out in the immediately foreseeable future.I too would prefer a Power VR series SGX6xx or a Mali T604,but if you think about it the Mali-MP400 isn't bat at all.

im no expert in sound. the output seems ok for me obviously not yhe best out there. the built-in speaker lacks too. the rest of the specs are very satisfactory esp the power cpu/gpu. cant wait for max payne.
re htc, they lack performance except one s or x. what i like on htc is the build quality. doesnt feel cheap and looks elegant.

Purchased by GS2 here in the states when it was first available. Around May of last year I think. Had been using an Iphone 4. Loved the GS2 and I prefer Android to IOS. But battery life just wasn't where I needed it to be and I sold it for an Iphone 4S. One day I came across the Samsung 2000 mah battery and had to try the GS2 again. Re-purchased it about 3 months ago and I have not looked back. The 2000 mah gives it Iphone like battery life but with all the benefits of Android. It still performs incredibly well and as of today, there is no other phone I would rather have.

HTC build quality is a myth, just like the iphone's even everyone knows it's crap.
I really thought that the One series is something with extraordinary build quality but seeing the drop tests I'm really disappointed. I really like the "cheap" plastic in my SGSII. It feels good in my hand and it's very durable compared to other "premium ****s".
I don't see the advantages for choosing unibody designs here. No micro-SD and no replaceable battery + the idiotic surveys made by HTC about battery. I really hope that S3 will not follow the pattern ...
I've seen S2 hit with a hammer, put under water, in a refrigerator at -35 degreess C, thrown 5 m in the air hitting the ground with the screen down and still working afterwards. Iphone stops working at -5 degrees C, cracks the screen before hitting the ground and people say that is well build with premium materials (wtf is wrong with you).
And not speaking how easy is to replace service parts on it. And achieving all these with replaceable battery and being very thin. It's really a technology wonder if you think about it.
But ... the most annoying parts about it are: the CRAP YAMAHA chip (FU Samsung) and the SH*T camera firmware on the international version. It's like Samsung didn't give a f*ck about camera and sound on this phone, but other than these, it's a GREAT phone

I personally think it looks great. The small little features like wireless charging, a buzz if missed calls sound genius. Most people are overlooking these and looking straight at the stats. It's a great phone.
Sent from my Galaxy S running Slim ICS 3.5 and Midnight kernel from my XDA Premium app.

great features and specs, but i think it is totally hideous. It got killed by the home button being odly shaped and the corners start to round before the top of the screen. Just my opinion though, its stilla nice phone

I like the Smart Stay, Android 4.0.4 and ICS-y TouchWiz (now we know why SGS2 get Gingerbread-y TouchWiz).

It isn't near as bad as many people are making it seem. It's just because of how big of a deal Samsung made it that makes it more of a let down. If this was just announced normally at an event like MWC then people wouldn't be having that big of an issue. It's just how it got over hyped with Samsung sending it out to be tested in secret boxes, no leaks for anything at all, it's own big press conference, etc. It was sickening reading in the One X section with all their biased opinions on a phone they've never even seen or tried first person. Give it a chance.

Features look neat, design is terrible.

I gotta admit, It's a bit of a letdown. It looks a bit goofy but I have the feeling that a proper first hand hands on will turn my opinion around again, they are going for function over form with this one I guess. Also It has a pentile screen but seeing from videos and hearing description of reviewers is not enough to judge this category. Overall, I think the hate from many place will die down once it is released just like iPhone 4S, people are shouting, mocking, and taunting because it's only an iteration but suddenly no one is hating it anymore.

Specs great
Design Disappointing

That's because no-one cares for the iPhone. They get what Apple gives them. Period. Android users do have a choice and over-hyped products that look like something blue and ugly crawled from the sea, made sex with a pebble and then gave birth to this thing, rarely stand a chance. It will still sell but won't be the success S2 was.
I really thought Samsung would put something nice on the table this time. Now I know why they didn't show it on MWC. Side by side with the HOX it would be a media disaster for them.
And all the fun we have with it at the HOX forum, is because the Samsung fanboys who never owned a HOX were saying for the past month "S3 will blow it out of the water" and now we saw what they meant. Noone wants to be in the same ocean with something as ugly as this thing. In a year and a half *maybe* there will be some apps that will run slightly better on the S3, but it will still be as ugly as it is today with the same ugly pentile screen.

Galaxy S III vs. HTC One X
I wanna take this time to give a fair comparison of the Galaxy S III to HTC's flagship One X. Let me start by saying I am not a fanboy for any brand. I like any device that works, and works well. I choose my devices based on build quality, specs, and features. Software is never a dealbreaker for me, as I usually prefer to load custom ROM's (CM/AOSP mostly). That said, I must say I am quite impressed with the Galaxy S III so far.
In my own honest opinion (and without starting any fights), I felt like the original Galaxy S and even the GS2 were way overhyped. Yes, I agree that they are good devices, but I feel like they didn't really scream out "next gen" when they launched. With the specs on paper and even in real world benchmarks, the first 2 generations only just gave their Nexus counterparts a run for their money. At first glance, it looks like the GS3 is finally going to push the bar to the next level. Of course, HTC also has it's high-end contenders, and this time around it happens to be the One X.
Now, I am in the market for a new phone, and I was highly considering the One X. With all the hype leading up to the GS3, I thought about the previous two generations, and prematurely decided the third gen would end up like the first two. Well, I stand corrected. I could easily see myself buying a GS3, but I am still undecided. On one hand, I have always loved HTC's build quality, and the One X's features definitely fits my requirements. But on the other hand, the Galaxy S III has a few things HTC missed.
When it comes to raw horsepower, both devices are definitely packing a lot of power, so that leaves other things to consider. While I have yet to actually handle each phone in my own hands, my first impression about build quality would go to HTC's polycarbonate unibody design. I always prefer a body not made of plastic, but then again, the Gorilla Glass 2 on Samsung's flagship does give it an upper hand. So all in all, it's still a tie.
When it comes to the camera, HTC definitely wins here. Sure, both devices are 8MP, but as a photographer, I know that the lens makes all the difference. The HTC One X has a beautiful wide angle lens with f/2.0, and from what I've read, Samsung put more effort into the software, leaving it with just an average lens at best. HTC also spent a lot time perfecting their camera software, so they get bonus points for paying attention to all the small details.
Two other important factors for me are the ability to remove the battery and add an external microSD. Unfortunately, this is where HTC made their mistakes, and Samsung was right there to make it right. These are actually two of the biggest things that are giving me second thoughts about buying the One X, and opting for the GS3 instead.
But then I start thinking about the screen. Quality is more important to me than size, and while Samsung's may be a tenth of an inch bigger, it appears that HTC's Super IPS LCD2 wins here. Not to say Samsung's screen isn't good, but I was a bit surprised to see they forgot the Plus part of their HD Super AMOLED. Maybe they did this to leave some room for improvement when another variant of the GS3 comes out in the next 3-4 months. Who knows...
Other than a few other minor differences that could go either way, one final important feature is the battery itself. We all know smartphones are power hungry, so it goes without saying that Samsung's removable 2100mAh gives it an upper edge. Hopefully, it's enough to keep the phone charged for at least a couple of days. HTC's 1800mAh may also last a couple days, partially thanks to the Tegra 3's fifth power-saving core. But when it comes right down to it, 2100mAh simply sounds better. And did I mention it's removable?
This leaves me stuck with a hard decision to make. I'm sure I'll be happy either way, but in both cases, there will be some sacrifices to make, yet there will always be the satisfaction of having a powerful device nonetheless. You win some, you lose some.
I'm also considering a new tablet as well, so if only the Asus Padfone would come out. That would make this decision even harder!

I wish I had enough money to buy both

Love it
Gonna buy it !
Thats all i have to say!!
Best regards !

Awesome specs, design ain't so good. But for christ sake, what a hell of a specs.
I'd give my someone's left nut to have it

Had the original SGS and was originally holding out for the SGS3, and opted to go the HOX when it came out given the specs and couldn't be bothered waiting for the SGS3, and timing with my contract coming up for renewal.
S-Voice - Interested there's finally competition to Siri, but something I wouldn't use anyway.
Wireless Charging - Slow and a novelty.
Vibrate when pick up phone for notifications - Very neat, but if I'm picking up my phone, 9/10 I'll be looking at it anyway
Eye-focus thing - Very neat, only big feature I would quite like.
Now so glad I didn't wait around for it.

Touch Wiz vs Sense
Touchwiz was one of the first if not the first to implement hardware acceleration and is one of the smoothest most resource friendly launchers. Back with gingerbread, touchwiz browser was pure butter....one of the smoothest i've ever used and definitely still one of the smoothest i've used. It's also battery efficient etc....
Sense on the otherhand is a resource hog, not very battery friendly, and mostly just looks good. Touchwiz is ugly, but there's a huge dev community for the galaxy phones so getting rid of it and flashing AOSP or anything was super simple.
As for user friendly, touchwiz is probably one of the simplest to use. Also looks kinda like iOS buttons which might help a bit but w/e. In terms of out of the box performance, samsung software > HTC software

What surprises me in these benchmarks is how close the GS2 performs to the One X. Disappointing on One X' part if you ask me.
As we showed in our SGS3 performance preview, the handset is, as Samsung described it, capable of posting "superlative" benchmark numbers with its 1.4 GHz Exynos 4 Quad SoC. It goes without saying that even with TouchWiz running atop Android 4.0.4, the SGS3 is butter smooth, everywhere. - Anandtech

The One X has been in available around the world for a month now, and none of those are mass reported problems. Since the SIII is not released yet or even reviewed, I can't see how you think SIII will be problem free.
I like the screen on the One X over my Note (same amoled as SIII), the colour are more accurate and its much brighter in direct sunlight. As for CPU/GPU, both are more than powerful enough to make no difference for day to day use.
Overall, apart from removable battery and micro sd card, SIII and One X are too very close to call. I think both phone will do well over the next few months. The SIII is more suited to the power users, but One X have the WOW factor the SIII lacks, which will do will with general public who don't really care about removable battery or expendable storage.

Threads like this remind me a little bit about Top Gear, where they say a car can't be cool if you have to explain WHY it's cool.
With the one x, you can just show it to someone, and they will be "wow, that's cool". With the SGS3, they will think it looks ugly/bland but may be won over after you spend 5 mins telling/showing them why it's cool.
And yes, phones are all about being cool

It's not a POS that's for sure. But there are some real issues and I don't think people should ignore them. Lets keep things a little more pro brother lol.

The rattling sound that people complain about is when they press a button and it vibrates. They think the sound of the vibration is a rattle

The real question is can *you* handle the truth? The truth that CPU benchmarks are a pile of useless s.it that have nothing to do with real life usage experience? The truth that tegra optimized apps will always run better on the one x and there are no whatever-samsung-called-their-cpu optimized apps and won't be for quite some time? The truth that HOX has more beautiful screen than the pentile SAMOLED? The truth that difference in performance *might* be felt after a year and a half when both these phones will be old news? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the downright ugliness of the sg3? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the cheapness of the shiny plastic? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the inferior screen? The truth that after that year and a half finally passes the only apps that will show any difference will run bad on the sg3 and worse on the HOX because both will be outdated?
Can you?

If I get a SIII I hope I don't have to see useless threads like this in this forum for the next year.

Thread will be closed i am sure in a while..These threads are not necessary. No need to make yourself feel good bro just because you are getting a new toy. Enjoy your new toy and no need to bash others just because they made another choice..Both phones are great and both have their own good points. Even though most are just gimmicks from the iphone (yes S-Voice just a copy from Siri) and really even though i love the features of the phone it still does not cry out innovating from some parts of it..anyways if i did not had my one x i would be going for the s3 cause i still believe it is a good phone but the issues you are stating about the one x not everyone has it..so best go and do your research again. Plus each time i press the water lockscreen it will probably make me wanna go and have a leak.. and on that note

First & foremost I'm an Android Fan & not brand specific and will go with who ever I believe will give me the best end user experience.
I like the One X, I also think it has a very nice display, I like sense as a UI & the unit feels nice in the hand, play with my sisters one most days even to the point where I even ordered one, which I then cancelled due to the impending SIII launch.
Now the SIII is here I have ordered one, mainly due to the larger replaceable battery, full size sim (I have other network contracts) and Micro SD Support. These three things alone kill the HOX stone dead for me and I would guess quite a number of others who have multiple handsets.
I think seriously looks a very subjective thing, but when fashion fades only style remains. In the most part these things normally end up in some sort of protective casing which renders the looks aspect moot in most cases.
In 18months time, when the you have stopped looking at it aesthetically and just use it as a day to day communication,entertainment and productivity tool, what is really going to matter?
To me it will be.
Ease of use, battery life, reliability, compatibility & decent brightness in daylight.
I'm I really going to care about the differences in terms of Screen Technology's on a day to day basis, I doubt it, its a phone at the end of the day as long as the display is good that's all the really matters personally. Not for the least part there will be something better by then the anyway.
They are both really good High end devices which will hopefully push Android even further in front of a certain fruit company.
Just my 2p

I noticed Wolfson on the your spec list. This is great! Sound quality is a major factor for me, and keeps me on my Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate). With the return of Wolfson, I may be able to upgrade this summer when it comes to AT&T.

Here is my opinion. I think they both will be winner. I'm not saying that to make everybody else happy, its cause its the truth. Here are facts:
The one x is the best looking device without a shadow of a doubt. It looks sexy, the screen is amazing, it is really a great looking device. But unfortunately it has horrible battery life, screen issues, lag and stutter and sense while it looks beautiful is still a heavy skin. ( about the issues if you don't believe me go check the one x forum). Still it has great potential and WILL get lots of dev support so in a couple of months its gonna be a beast!
Now the Galaxy S3, honestly I like the design a lot. It isn't as beautiful as the one x but still , people are saying that it looks awesome in person. Then you got so many pros, exynos 4 quad on board , expandable storage, removable battery all in a device that is thinner than the one x. Anadtech and many others have reported the phone to be buttery smooth as expected. On top of that the phone should be easy to root ( no S-off bull crap required) all the new features Samsung introduced look great. Dev support is gonna be HUGE just like the one x will but with a boot loader easy to unlock. My personal choice is the S3 cause after I was blown away by the S2 , Samsung has won me over as a loyal customer. They both will b great especially when development takes off but I will give the edge to the s3 cause it is a performer!!!

We dont need another SGS3vsHTC whatever thread.
All general chat goes here

HTC One X is better than SGS3 say HTC

The full details are here but I've provided a handy cut out and keep version for you all here:
Countering Objections
GS3 is slimmer. Only 0.3mm difference! Because the HTC One X is made by HTC we feel that it feels slimmer even though it isn't.
GS3 has removable battery. We counteract this by recommending you drag a second battery around to charge your first battery with as well as your charger to charge either one of those with and this is better because you just have to charge up a spare battery anyway. You can always run fewer apps! Did you know this makes our phone water resistant for all those underwater phone calls you like to make? Using this device under water will invalidate your warranty.
GS3 has SD card slot. HTC One X has 32GB of internal storage plus you can use 25GB of dropbox! We know you can get the GS3 with 32GB of internal storage, put an additional 32GB of sdcard storage in there and it comes with 48GB of dropbox space but hey did we mention UNIBODY UNIBODY UNIBODY!
GS3 has a bigger display. Er yeah but pentile guys it's totally pentile you'd never find us using pentile *hides the One S* so yeah pentile.
HTC One X vs GS3
Better Speed/Faster. One X is 1.5GHz and the GS3 is 1.4GHz so we're like 0.1 faster guys. Using this same reasoning all our workstations in the office still have 3.8GHz Pentium 4s in them because who wants a crappy 2.67GHz i7? This is how we manage to come up with such efficient design decisions!
Better Camera. Like 70% better! What do you mean, quantify? Ours also starts 0.29s faster so imagine if you used the camera once a day for a YEAR we'd save you almost TWO MINUTES!
Better Sound. Beats Audio guys, it's SO the best sound ever. Do you think Dr Dre would use a GS3? Pfff. Does the GS3 have BEATS AUDIO? No way, they have something called Wolfson and we all know that just sucks.
Better Durability. One X is POLYCARBONATE whereas the GS3 is just some kind of PLASTIC. Polycarbonate plastic. So there!
Better Design. World acclaimed design and we were disappointed in the SGS3 being better so we claim it's disappointing.
Also if you view your phone through a macroscope when you're using it you'll so appreciate the pixel layout on the One X far better than on the GS3!

Mod lock thread please. There's already too HTC One X threads for this info to be posted in.

That was rather enjoyable.

So glad you read the post. It's nice when users don't just read a thread title, assume what the thread will contain, then knock everything on their desk flying asunder as they dive for the reply button to whine at the moderators about it.

I like the 0.29 sec stuff.. really awesome
I actually calculated how much I would save in the year. It's less than 2 mins! That's a lot of time saved in a year..

Funny how this was also posted on the hox forum but the thread got locked. HTC can't even find support from their own users
Not surprising really. It really is quite an embarrassingly desperate attempt to trick the layman punters. I feel sorry for ppl who get suckered into buying one and have to face overheating, poor battery and build quality problems. My friend at work has had 5 hox replacements and he's really regretting not waiting for the gs3. His hox keeps reaching over 55 celcius and shuts down in his pocket! O2 said they'll give him a refurbished gs3 for £100 but he has to wait till one shows up.
But gotta say that the s4 version of the hox is brilliant as long as its multitasking issues can be fixed.

True dat!
2 things I love in life - getting screwed over at work by idiot bosses and slow ass user interfaces!
Deebo took your bike too?!

GS3 VS HTC One X: Compared. And the winner is:
1. Better Speed: Winner: GS3. The manufacturing of the GS3 is a newer process, runs cooler, and overall is faster than the One X. If you look in the One X forums you will find people are having problems with One X using one core at times and is causing problems. Some are oveclocking or underclocking just to avoid glitches. This is the One X out of the box that is having issues with the Tegra 3 architecture.
2. Better Camera: Winner: GS3. If you check out the reviews you'll find overall that the One X has an inferior camera. Not to mention I've heard word that it only does 25fps in video compared to the GS3 that does 30fps. All the reviewers mostly say the same thing that GS3 camera is better. The only thing everybody agrees is that the One X burst mode is better. Big deal.
3. Better Sound: Winner: HTC One X. The beats software that HTC One X has is nothing but a software hack and is not done through hardware. So, the improvements that come from Beats, the GS3 is capable of these benefits through software. One area that I would say that the One X may have the GS3 beat is in sound performance out the speaker. I saw a comparison. The One X audio had a fuller sound out of the speaker that the GS3. Although, I think they might have said that the GS3 had a little bit louder volume.
4. Better Durability: The One X is made of Polycarbonate, which sounds like a good thing. Right? No. Because the quality control is so bad at the factories, HTC fans are having to buy theirs locally. They're having to pick through boxes to find a good one . What they are finding is creaks in the plastic, loose builds, and malformed polycarbonate mold. How bad? Well, bad enough that on they're forums pole 30% had miscellaneous problems. Not to mention complaints about screens that had dusts specks underneath, glue underneath the screen, "screen ripple", and screen cracks. Am I making this up, no. Read the One X forums. Not to mention, that the curvature of the glass on the HTC One X increases the chances of screen breakage. The lightweight plastic on Galaxy devices (while not having the most expensive feel) through the years has been good when it comes to dropping, as the plastic is very bendable and flexible.
5. Better Design: Winner: Tie. The One X has a more "razor" phone type design which looks very nice. Although, the GS3 is thinner. Overall, the GS3 has the better design because the rounded edges makes it more comfortable to use. Its just like the Iphone 3gs design vs the Iphone 4s design. The Iphone 3gs is a better design because it looks good and feels way nicer in your hand. I'm not to fond of the "plain" back of the GS3 or some of the curved accents that are easily seen on the white GS3. Overall, I like the design of the GS3 because it looks good, it is thin, and is the most comfortable in your hand.
Overall the winner is the GS3. I had a opportunity to get either phone. I actually was set on buying the HTC One X. That was until I read all the problems that they were having at the One X forums. In the end these were my observations. The last straw for me was when users were having stuttering problems with the video player months after the phone was released. They were able to fix the problem by deleting flv files that were in the gallery directory (you can't be serious lol). Another notable mention is that the HTC One X doesn't even have its own video player and they rely on the gallery out of the box. Finally, the GS3 has better codec support that is built in to the hardware.

HTC One X vs GS3
Better Speed/Faster. One X is 1.5GHz and the GS3 is 1.4GHz so we're like 0.1 faster guys. Using this same reasoning all our workstations in the office still have 3.8GHz Pentium 4s in them because who wants a crappy 2.67GHz i7? This is how we manage to come up with such efficient design decisions!
Better Camera. Like 70% better! What do you mean, quantify? Ours also starts 0.29s faster so imagine if you used the camera once a day for a YEAR we'd save you almost TWO MINUTES!
Better Sound. Beats Audio guys, it's SO the best sound ever. Do you think Dr Dre would use a GS3? Pfff. Does the GS3 have BEATS AUDIO? No way, they have something called Wolfson and we all know that just sucks.
Better Durability. One X is POLYCARBONATE whereas the GS3 is just some kind of PLASTIC. Polycarbonate plastic. So there!
Better Design. World acclaimed design and we were disappointed in the SGS3 being better so we claim it's disappointing.
