lmao trying to get rid of all their warranty exchanges
I have a search alert that tells me about any new articles posted mentioning the g2x. What I've been seeing recently is that T-Mobile is actually still promoting the phone in some markets with in store celebrity appearances. We may think the phone is old news and lg may think so, but they are still promoting it.

This is still, hardware wise, one of the best phones out there today. No reason to not keep promoting it.

I've got to disagree here. At this point, hardware wise this phone isn't all that impressive. The tegra 2 is around the bottom of dual core processors, the phone only has a half gig of ram, and it's a lot res screen (with excessive bleeding). It's probably only the 4th best phone on T-Mobile and not even a top 10 phone in the phone market. The tegra 2 was great when it first hit the market and there were no other dual core processors to compare it to, but that has since changed. The tegra 2 is at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to dual core processors. It's certainly nothing special.

Have you seen how the G2x compares to most phones in real world performance? It blows most of them away... "Low Res Screen"? It's an IPS display... With the same resolution as the GSII.... IPS > Super AMOLED Plus IMO.
And you don't need more than 512mb of RAM, although it would be nice.

If we're comparing performance of dual-core chipsets, Tegra2 is hands down one of the best on the market. I have no idea where you're getting your information. It absolutely kills Snapdragon processors and others trying to compete. The closed drivers is a downside but performance-wise, this phone blows other out of the water, including those 1.2Ghz+ processors (MT4G Slide, Sensation, etc).

I would even go as far as to say it "kills" the snapdragon processors. It isn't head and shoulders better, and as for the other dual cores it definitely isn't better. It only has less than half the memory bandwidth of the exynos 4210, omap 4460, and the A5 (2.4GB/s vs 6.4GB/s). Processing power does you know good if you don't have the memory bandwidth for it to travel on. The S3 has 2.7 if I'm not mistaken, but it's running on A8 architecture so you could possibly give the Tegra 2 the edge over the S3 despite the fact it has less memory bandwidth, but when it comes to the other dual cores, it doesn't compare.

I disagree. All technical specifications come second to real-world performance. People flocked to the Sensation and MT4G Slide because, at their release, they had a higher Ghz rating than the G2x. And Tegra2 is undoubtedly faster than the Sensation.
Obviously, there are better phones out now. But Tegra2 is still above most, especially for gaming. Quadrant has me 100FPS and higher continuously when overclocked, getting 5k+. Other processors just don't compare.

This proves that the Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core process running at 1 Ghz is actually pulling its load.

My benchmark scores
Thanks for posting these as I have both the DX & the Gtab.
I have the GB on the DX and I regularly get ~1800 without OC'ing. Of course I have the Gtab OC'd to 1.4GHz which gives me even higher #.
I HATE when people put out benchmarks on graphs with such a biased look to them. The graph doesn't start at "0" in that picture, it starts at 1200. In which case, the Droid X only goes a couple hundred points above the starting line. That makes the Gtab look SOOOO much faster just by looking at the bars on the graph, when in fact it's not twice as fast, it's only a few hundred points extra.
Really bad practice if you ask me.
It does not matter where the bars start. The fact is the GTab with stock kernal is still better than the Droid X. It does look skewed but it would look the same even if it started at 0.
Droidx is clocked at 1ghz not 800ghz as the Nook Color, they have different chips. Same company doesn't mean same chip, look at model numbers
Droidx - TI OMAP3630 at 1Ghz
Nook Color -TI OMAP3621 at 800Ghz
Both CPUs are ARM Cortex-A8 though
Two, why compare apples and oranges? Duel core vs single? Tablet vs phone?
Three, my Droidx hits 1600 with stock non-rooted 2.3.3
edit* 1646 to be exact, and i'm sure this will be higher once the official update its available next week.
Tostinuts,
Considering both devices are 1Ghz in speed, we must all agree that a 35% difference in performance is HUGE. Consider price difference when you purchase desktop CPU.
Newegg prices, rounded for your pleasure.
Intel Core i9-970 @ 3.20 Ghz $600
Intel Core i9-974 @ 3.33 Ghz $1000
So I'm paying $400 extra and the cpu frequency is only 133mhz higher? Gtab cpu is no joke, graph proves it.
NOW instead of HATING, why don't your post something relevant we can appreciate as forum tablets readers?!

Thanks for the update on cpu info. I only have the Droid X and G tablet and its really not a comparison, I agree. I did like the see the difference in how the same browsers perform with 1 Ghz cpus. I am look forward to Droid developing a dual core phone. Right now for the price I think the Gtab is awesome, just like I think my Droid X is awesome. Based on your scores I need to update my Droid X to 2.3 Gingerbread since I'm still on stock 2.2.1 Froyo.

Maybe stock kernal but not stock rom, so it's about as 'stock' as stock car racing. If this test was done with OEM TnT the results may not be as impressive, and if the Droid X were running a custom ROM it might have a better showing.
I agree that the performance advantage is impressive.

You are not making an intelligent argument at all sir. Thanks for the dig at my name by the way, very mature.
First of all, what the heck is an "i9" cpu? Do you mean Core i7?
And the reason Intel can price their chips at whatever the hell they want to! They have ALWAYS marketed their "top of the line" chip at the $1000 price point, and it doesn't matter if a newer gen mid-range chip, that is faster than the old top of the line is released, it will still stay near that $1000 price point.
How this is relevant to the benchmarks you were showing... I have no idea. 35% difference isn't huge at all, it is two different generation chips and there will be a difference in performance.
By the way, I don't care what any of you say about this matter, benchmark charts done in that way are misleading, and are often used (by hardware review sites) to support whoever their bias is. It is just bad practice.
In conclusion, you are an a-hole, go eff yourself.
-Tostinuts
Hate to throw my hat in the ring on such a hot topic, but my DX hits around 2000 on quad pretty consistently. It is as stock as the G Tab in the above comparison. It is running the GB leak with an overclock set at 1.2GHz. Video comparison is no where close as the G Tab blows it out of the water. Can't wait to see the quad scores on the DX2.
My gtab overclocked to 1500 just got a score of 2608

Tostino,
Thanks for the correction on i7. Considering the operating system, and application are the same then its fair to compare CPU.
10" tablets running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2
7" tablets running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2
mobile phones running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2
I would believe the CPU scores would be inline with each other and screen size wouldn't be as relevant to CPU score.
My hard earned money says buy the Tegra2 CPU tablet/device. I'm sure that you can conclude that from the chart, even a visually bias chart.
Performance comparison between competing chips is a staple to hardware reviews. AMD vs Intel
so...
TI vs Nvidia
Again, do you have anything intelligent to offer this forum, or just here to hate?

Oh no, I am not saying that the TI chip is in any way a better buy. I completely agree that as of right now, Tegra 2 is where it's at (well, maybe Samsung's new chip has it beat, but I haven't seen any benchmarks so far). I was just voicing my opinion on charts with bias. It wasn't hate, it was an opinion which I voiced clearly, and without taking your character into question.

Nope, the resolution isnt the finally factor, ( Tegra 2 is powerfull than adreno220 in benchmarks, but Atrix with qHD resolution scores like the sensation, so Adreno220 isnt more powerfull ) just watch CF-Bench, Vellamo bench and other bench, SGSII still superior, in CPU and GPU.
And that % more resolution, will take about 10FPS, max 15 FPS so if at 800x480 Adreno220 stills not more powerfull.
i have a sensation, but for now SGSII is more powerfull.
With optimization maybe, but on default definetly NOT.

Adreno 220 is much better than Ad 205..But sometimes even my dhd is MUCH faster than Sensation..I believe it is the optimization's difference..With the optimization we can have ad 220's best performance..I believe at that time ad 220 will be better than optimized SG2

For gaming purposes I suppose. 30% of all gaming takes place via smartphones so it's a ripe market for developers. Quadcore devices would pretty much put devices on par with console systems.
People would buy a quad core phone (such as I) the same reason why some people get sports car. Are sports car absolutely needed for everyday driving? Most of the time, I would highly doubt it, but it sure is nice as hell to have, no?

Thats not the correct question. lol. you didn't get it.
question is, why would people buy a sports car when in the case he only knows how to drive a bike.
Well, surely, quadcores are great. and mentioned above, games needs it. looking at games today, most of them are not that resource consuming at all. just needs a decent graphic emulator. not processor. you definitely don't understand what a processor does. it only process the loading of a certain app. surely it does process during the game but you can measure the speed clearly during app loading. what does a game that loads up real fast but in the short run, it hangs up like hell? mind you guys, most of the games usually are just 10-25megabytes (most that i've seen) any single core processor can process that fast. should we say, its like 200mb of a game. single cores can process that. but when you say gaming, you should think about graphics first.
From what I have been reading... it will not only be quad core... but also we'll have speeds up to 2.5GHz. That's faster than my laptop

Smartbench is weak stuff. Any 3D scene that is too weak will lower the score of GS2. For example it could do 300fps for Neocore benchmark app, but it has a 60fps limit so the app only reports 59fps for GS2, while another phone scores 80fps and yet GS2 has lower score. You just have to bench GS2 on strong benchmark apps like Nenamark2 and GLBenchmark2.
Understanding the current generation SoC and benchmark:
SoC stands for System on a Chip. But most of us care only about the CPU and GPU on it.
Snapdragon (all 3 iterations) used the same Scorpion CPU core, at different clockspeed. The one on the Sensation has two cores, both can run up to 1.2Ghz, so if a benchmark is single threaded and very CPU heavy, the latest Snapdragon can only be 20% faster than the first generation 1Ghz Snapdragon.
Qualcomm uses a custom design for the Scorpion. Roughly speaking, the performance of the Scorpion lies somewhere between Cortex A8 and A9. In general, SoC with dual core Cortex A9's like Exynos, Tegra 2, OMAP4 will be faster in CPU heavy apps and benchmark. Yet, the Scorpion is exceptionally good at FPU heavy task, so... if FPU matter for that app/benchmark, Scorpion could pull over.
GPU wise, this depends on resolution. Higher resolution means more pixel to generate and lower benchmark score, OTHER THINGS EQUAL. The GPU on the dual-core Snapdragon is as powerful as those on Exynos and OMAP4, with one winning in some benchmark and another winning in another. Due to different resolutions on different handsets, it's hard to tell, but they are among the same class. The Tegra 2, however, has a weaker GPU than the bunch mentioned above. This may come at a surprise to everyone consider Nvidia is a graphic card company and the chip is often being promoted as "most powerful". The truth is, the Tegra 2 was supposed to be released in mid 2010 but the market wasn't ready for dual-core phones back then. So the Tegra 2 got delayed for a year, and the design of Tegra 2 was set early. But that's also why Nvidia is almost ready to launch Kal-El/Tegra 3 whatever the next thing is, because the design of Tegra 2 was done long time ago.
So if a benchmark is graphically intensive, and doesn't depending too much on CPU, Snapdragon will be faster than Tegra 2, while Exynos will be the fastest (especially since there is no qHD Exynos device out there yet). On FPU heavy CPU bench, like Linpack, Snapdragon perform exceptionally well due to its CPU design. But with benchmarks that test a wider variety of CPU function, Cortex A9 equipped SoC will beat Snapdragon. And while Tegra 2 has a weaker GPU, it may perform better in some games..... because of Nvidia's "the way it meant to be played" program. Basically it's Nvidia way to fund developers to optimize the code for Nvidia's chips, and market their games. It is no uncommon to see games that are funded by Nvidia's TWIMTBP program run faster on Nvidia's card than on AMD's card.
But what does all the above mean? IT DOESN'T F***ING MATTER AT ALL. All the current dual-core SoCs are fast enough for everything you want to do on your phone. They are equally (not) future proof, and when the future comes that your current phone is too slow, the other current gen phones will be slow too. And honestly, these ARM based SoCs are evolving so fast that none of these SoCs is really future proof. Just pick the phone that feels right or you. IGNORE those stupid benchmark numbers, and pick the phone that physically appeal to you, and pick the phone that is less buggy, or has the best monitor (for you). And if you really care about benchmark numbers, get the GSII. It has the fastest ARM-based CPU right now, one of the fastest mobile GPUs, and a relatively lower resolution screen so that it dominates all benchmarks. It also has enough plastic to be a true successor to the GS I as the most plasticky Android phone, if that matters.
Just having a little look around and found that the HTC One XL has listed 32GB internal storage on the Australian HTC site.
I'd attach a link, but it looks like you just have to google it ;]
Unfortunately because the only thing holding me back from getting the XL was 16GB of storage, Ive already purchased the HOX, just waiting for it to arrive.
Sorry if this is old news.
I would still prefer a quad-core One X over a dual-core XL
good work! all we need are about 50,000 more threads and we can have 1 for every member! how many xda members are there?
Well, I thought it was in the general interest to people as I know a few people were bothered about the 16GB on the LTE version of this phone, so I was just giving out the news, I did have a look around and didn't see any other thread giving this information out..

Krait Dual-Core 1.5Ghz 28nm > Tegra 3 Quad-Core 1.5Ghz 40nm
If you had a Dual Core phone before, the Tegra 3 isn't much different, since it has to scale over to the 4 cores which is less likely, whereas the Krait is similar to the A15 Architecture and produces better performance which is why no-one has experience lag on the HTC One S due to faster processor and the smaller resolution. Also battery life is easily going to be better due to the 28nm compared to Tegra 3 Companion Core 40nm.
The Tegra 3 GPU isn't much powerful to the Adreno 225, on GLBenchmark they are both are equal (720p Offscreen, 1 each) and Adreno 225 beats the Tegra 3 in Nenamark 2.

Well we can't really allow the One X to fight against the One S because there are too many variables. When the AT&T version of the One X comes out with the LTE support and One S' processor, then we can actually see the difference.
I agree that sometimes dual core processors can process fast through benchmarks, but then benchmarks can be flawed and tampered with. Also with many factors which could affect raw power testing, as you said resolution difference, background services, etc.
There is a reason why the One S doesn't have the carousel affect when sliding the bars on the bottom to switch menus. It runs a smaller OS, which in turn allows it to have a smaller footprint than One X's heavily bloated OS.
It may be fast over a short period of time, to process small things, but, let's say for computers, if I had to render a 1 minute video on a dual core machine, it will take 5 minutes, but on a quad core machine it will take 2.8 minutes or below. I think of the long period of using a quad core device, and the capabilities in which it hasn't fully utilized yet.
Also when you said dual core, yeah, I had a Samsung Galaxy S II and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. You can get their ROMs under 200mb for the full Touchwiz experience, while to get a full Sense 4.0 experience, you have a ROM which can go over 600mb easily. The Galaxy S II in my opinion was a very fast device when I used it, all the raw power it had, but as I said, sometimes you just can't compare them because there are way too many variables. Physically if none had an OS, okay fine, you can test, but the way many people test speeds have affected results in at least two ways.
That's my opinion, many people think differently, but I guess people could see where I'm going
Have to say the one s runs like a champ. That thing fast. Faster than my one x. Smooth and snappier. I don't care to much about quadrant but the ones s I've tried scored 5400 lol and transitions were butter. Snappier and smoother than my quad core lol. On the other hand I've also tried the one x dual core from att. I think.that's the same as the xl. That one was laggy and not smaooth as the one.s so one s wins.

Ummm, what? If you take an Intel E6600 and a Q6600, the quad core is twice as powerful, in theory. You can't get a 5 times speedup! You can't even get a 2 times speedup, since some of the workload isn't parallelisable.
This is completely irrelevant, however, since has already has been mentioned, the Tegra3 and Snapdragons are quite different.

Sorry, that was a pretty bad comparison, since I don't really have a quad core computer, only 8 core (4cores+imaginary4cores) I don't really know the exact comparison, but at least you know where i'm trying to get at
The flagship of Samsung is now up and whoa! That is some latest piece of tech.
Specifications:
Samsung Galaxy SIII:
4.8" 720p SUPER AMOLED (pentile) Display.
1.4 GHz Quad Core.
8MP rear / 1.9MP front camera.
2100 mAh battery
16/32GB storage (64 coming soon) with sd card slot.
ICS with Touchwiz 4.0
HTC ONE X:
4.7" 720p Super LCD2 Display.
1.5 GHz Quad core.
8MP rear / 1.3MP front camera.
1800mAh battery.
32GB internal storage with no SD Card slot.
ICS with HTC Sense 4.0
My Opinion:
Well, specs ain't the only thing. The overall performance, feel in hand and overall experience of the phone really counts. I don't think it's a big leap forward as we already know HTC ONE X is a beast in itself.
I prefer HOX because I don't like touchwiz UI of Samsung and the build quality is better in HTC ofcourse.
Many people will go against me and that's how it goes in the world.
* Sense 4.0 is better than touchwiz.
* ImageSense is better than SIII camera.
* 1.5 GHz quad core (penta core to be precise) is better than 1.4 GHz Quad Core.
* The shape is actually better than SIII. Didn't like the shape of SIII. The shape is a serious letdown for me.
*I'll vote for One X against SIII*
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Buy the one you like. Vote for the one you admire. This sort of competition is good for the new technology. And at the end of the day THE BEST phone is one which is in your hands.
Enjoy your phone. Enjoy the talks.
Like THIS for a compliment.
Would love to listen from you people.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Have you owned both devices personally yet? Until you've had both side by side doing the same exact things then there is no way to properly determined.which is superior. Benchmarks are worthless. Seems you're already on Team HTC's bandwagon so you're mind is made up. There will be a billion GS3 posts on XDA and they will all won't be worth a ****.

Yeah benchmarks are useless. That's why I didn't bring them into discussion.
I'm comparing the SPECS ONLY and there you see One X smashes SGSIII.
SGIII is built of polycarbonate as well but coated a sort of plastic layer (don't remember the name exactly) and that's ridiculous.
The bright shiny 720p SUPER LCD2 outclasses Pentile 720p Super Amoled.

lmao biased much? only thing that is better is the screen.
Polycarbonate comes at the expense of microSD and (smaller) built in battery. Along with better battery you can pull out GS3 has a 32nm SOC instead of 40something which also saves battery and heats less.
Maybe the 7th One X you'll return will be on par with GS3.

Omg. Galaxy S3 GPU and CPU is much much better and best CPU and GPU on a mobile. New GPU is 400mhz. Just WTF. Even screen is best screen until today. I don't care about fancy stuff but new touchwiz is better than sense for me. REMEMBER THIS. Galaxy S with froyo have HW accelerated browser because of touchwiz. No one can touch S3 now.

Really interesting guys! There are 2 chances.
1- You didn't see a amoled screen.
2- You don't know about specs. Because One X doesn't have chance to own SGS3. Like S2 and Sensation. Even my sgs1 is faster and more ram than sensation.

CPU & GPU won't make a difference until you play games HD games on the phone all day long. And for daily workings both are more than enough.

32nm and 40nm actually have NO serious difference. Even S4 Snapdragon being 28mm isn't a outdated product. This actually is a no difference. Fifth core on One X is assigned to do the job as you've mentioned, less heat & longer battery.

Sorry, but you're very very very wrong here. The difference between 40 and 32 is 20% less battery power for any given task. Between 40 and 28 is closer to 40% less battery usage.
Fifth core on Tegra 3 is technically retarded. Read Nvidia's white paper. The CPU can't have the fifth core on at the same time as any of the others, so Tegra 3 only saves battery power if you're not actually using your phone and it's only doing background tasks while the screen is off.
Furthermore, Tegra 3 has no dynamic voltage control. So if you were to watch a movie on a T3 device, and your email refreshes in the background, it would use the same processor power and clock speed as watching 2 movies at the same time. Both Krait S4 and Exynos 4 have dynamic voltage control.
Personally, I'd rather not have either device and wait for the LTE Padfone.
I had a SGS2... Moved from that to HTC One X because i just couldn't stand their TouchWiz UI..
The development on the SGS2 haven't been as i hoped, mainly due to their drivers.
Sorry, but i will stick with my HTC One X

If you do a comparison vs what you would pay otherwise, it's actually much cheaper to get a Padfone than the alternatives.
Padfone+Padfone Station+Station Dock+BT stylus= ~$1000
Est. cost for data on ATT: $20-50 depending on plan size, $30 unlimited if you're grandfathered in like me
Apple:
iPhone 4S= $600
iPad 3rd gen= $600
BT keyboard case= $50
Total: $1250
Est. cost for data on ATT: $65 per month
Android:
HTC One X= $650
Transformer Prime+KB Dock= $700
Total: $1350
Est. cost for data on ATT: $65 per month
So you actually save at least $250 initially, and another $360-$1080 from data costs (Calculated using ATT required 5gb plan for data tethering= $65 per month, cheapest alternate for separate data plans is $55 per month).
If you're a particularly frugal data user, the Padfone system will actually pay for itself and leave you $80 further in the black than you were before your purchase compared to the alternatives!
All of these international One X fans need to remember that the dual core AT&T One X beats out the quad core international tegra 3 version in terms of performance. The quad core exynos is going to SMASH the One X! That being said, I still like the One X better. The SGSIII is like the GNEX's ugly little sister.
The problem is phones are very expensive here and the price won't go down anytime soon the price of galaxy S II is higher than neighboring countries and the price went up when the G model was announced Asus products are very expensive here TF 101 + keyboard dock costs more than the prime + dock. Thank God Dubai isn't far

Why would the Exynos chip in the SG3 be faster than the Tegra 3 in the One X?
They're both A9 chips, Exynos is clocked at 1.4 while Tegra 3 is clocked at 1.5. Sure, the Exynos chip has wonderful features like the 32nm build and dynamic voltage control, but those only affect how efficiently it uses the battery. What affects speed is your Cortex class (both A9) and your clock speed, in which case Tegra 3 should theoretically perform slightly better.
I'm pretty sure any speed differences are going to come down to the differences between TouchWiz and Sense, not the specs on the phone.
And therefore, ATT One XL with the extended battery and the Krait S4 chip will probably perform better than the SG3 by the same degree that testing shows that it already performs better than the Tegra 3 One X.
Both of these phones have pretty awesome specs, so in that respect, I think personal preference is going to overrule anything else.
BUT, I have the Amaze 4G, and HTC has made it impossible (so far) to make a ROM that isn't based on their own Sense based ROM. As far as what I can see, HTC's One line is going to be even harder to develop. I enjoy trying different ROMs way too much to stick with HTC from this point forward (unless HTC changes their evil ways ).
As far as the different launchers, I haven't ever really liked a stock launcher on Samsung, HTC, or even LG (I think Cyanogenmod finally got it right with Trebuchet in their CM9 builds). I almost always put in a custom launcher.
i like samsung galaxy s3
ram management in htc one x is si bad
Let's take a look at the facts:
Screen :We will see who has the better screen when the reviews are released.
Proccesor :As shown on the becnhmarks the SGS3 is the faster one.
GPU :Again the SGS3 as shown by the recent benchmarks
Battery :SGS3 has an exchangable batter the HTC One X does not.SGS3 has also the bigger battery.
MicroSD :SGS3
Front camera :SGS3 again 1.3 vs 2.0 MPX
Back camera :Still unknown who has the better camera,but that will be revelead soon.
Storage:SGS3 again 64 GB + micro SD ,HTC ONE X 32 GB no microsd
Design :That's a matter of taste.
The SGS3 is obviously the better phone hardware wise plus it has many more features like eye tracking and S voice that the HTC ONE X lacks.
- UI I could care less what each has. I'm an XDA member and never have stock... lol.
- Processors sound like they'll be identical on the US phones, so that's a non-issue for me as well.
- HTC's lack of SD is a bit worrisome for me since the US only has 16 GB. That may limit what I can store, especially as apps get bigger and bigger. So there's one mark against the One X for me.
- Screens, the Galaxy is a tiny bit bigger, but I need to see peoples reviews that have been able to spend time with both to judge. What's on paper doesn't always matter.
- Camera is kind of important to me. I'm sick of my Captivates crappy camera. Reviews of the One X make it sound like it's awesome. I haven't seen much mention of the S3's yet besides "it looks good". Will have to see how reviewers rate it. It also sounded like the models they were showcasing weren't the final product for the camera either or am I just imagining things?
- GPS is important to me too. Again.. Captivate.... OMG!! I've heard nothing bad yet about the One X, and heard nothing about the S3, so we'll see.
- Aesthetics, build quality, etc... meh, whatever. It's a phone. It sits in my pocket. It goes in my hand and I look at the screen. I don't really care all that much what other people think of my phone while I'm mesmerized by the screen. If panels are falling off, buttons breaking etc. yeah that's bad but I'm pretty confident that won't happen on either phone.
So given that the One X already has a mark against it due to the lack of SD card slot and tiny 16 GB storage (I'm on a 2 GB plan, not unlimited so cloud and stuff isn't a very viable option for me) the S3 would have to have a crappy camera and or faulty GPS for me to consider the One X over it I think.
Hey guys,
I've been using the T-Mobile USA Samsung Galaxy S2 for about 9 months now, but it recently had a screen issue that required a warranty replacement.
T-Mobile has offered to replace it with another S2, or with a One S.
My last HTC was the HD2 and MyTouch 4g, both of which I loved. But having used the S2 for awhile now, it has been a great device.
I could use some help if anyone here has used both phones and cares to offer an opinion. Is there a major difference in the screen?

I just finished reading the AnandTech review of the One S, and it's pretty glowing.
Odd as it may seem, I think the biggest hangup I have is how used to TouchWiz I am!
I know many people hate it, but it has grown on me.
That, and I hate to give up the MicroSD card slot. I keep a lot of music and pictures on my phone.
I'm really leaning towards the One S,tho.

From my experience. I owed some of your phone and HTC One S never let me down. The screen isn't big compared to SG2, but design is elegant, sexy slim.
If course it offer sense 4.0 and development thread offered option roms.
And you're into big screen and newer tech you best options is SG3.

My SGS2 hasn't had a single issue until the line in the screen showed up.
So the HTC can't be rooted? I don't understand what you mean...
No obviously it can be rooted , didn'tean to confuse or mislead . It's just certain HTC devices don't have an exploit for s-off .... Wich means boot IMG need to be flashed separaty in fastboot after you flash your Rom . Once/if we ever get s-off then you could flash normally ,

S2's Super AMOLED Plus display crushes the One S display. On my One S, I had signal issues. Plus the One S doesn't have a removable battery or expansion slot. Although the One S does have a sleek design and a better S4 SnapDragon processor (assuming the replacement is S4)
The one S is the much better phone.
Advantages of one S, assuming you get the S4 version:
- audio (the best audio there is along with the GS 3 and possibly the iphone 5 now)
- best CPU chipset (CPU is better than the quad in the GS 3 and the X when it comes to performance per core, power efficiency and heat) and it is the fastest device I have used to date, faster than the GS 3 quad etc.
- best battery life excluding the RAZR max and possibly the iphone 5
- better screen than the GS 2 (read anandtech's review, they class it as being the best SAMOLED display they have ever used essentially) The only downside of it is that it isn't 720P and slightly larger, but the calibration of the screen is very good and IMO the overall quality when it comes to the colours etc. is better than the GS 3 SAMOLED screen
- build/perceived quality
- IMO design/looks
- one of the best cameras, although 1080P recording isn't great
- sense V4 IMO (the camera UI and features can't be matched as well as a few other things)
- NLED, although a crap NLED
Disadvantages for some people:
- low internal storage (10GB for videos, photos etc. and 2.21 GB for apps) and no SD slot
- no NFC
- non removable battery
Advantages of the GS 2 over the S:
- removable battery
- SD slot
- better developing community
- 1080P recording in terms of smoothness and light metering
The phone is superb, however, HTC's support for the S with regards to the updates is shocking and is why I might move to one of the new nexus devices if they match or better the S!

Don't compare quadcore A9 with dual core A15.
Our Krait is fast but is a piece of **** comparing with quadcore from exynos.
GPU is sucks here also. We can't even play full 1080p video in desktop mod, because ****ty adreno 225. Games are lags also.
U didn't see that ? No ? Because you do not know the difference
Quadcore is a quadcore son. Don't be stupid.

I see you haven't educated yourself any further since I last pwned you:

Back to your nursing home "pa". Leave technology to the younger generation.
PS. Regarding the 1080P not being played back, ever heard of a thing called software optimization? I guess you haven't......
Take those 1080P youtube videos and play them back in BS player and they work flawlessly.
Also what games are these? Poorly optimized games? Every game I have tried has been super smooth on the S.
HTH

S III Release date: 22 May 2012
and your review made in May 01 2012.
Let me guess ATT decided to pay for review, so as a to resist fraud complaints.
Im gonna see later on review when they will release Galaxy note2 with quadcore.
I can say samething like u do....benchmarking is not optimized for quadcore.
And any way Krait A15 it's based on the same instruction set as the new ARM A15 processors"
please be sure to make clear the Qualcomm "Krait" Soc's are NOT full A15 architectures. they are BASED on A9's with heavily modified architectural features from the A15 ARM reference design, but the Krait is NOT a full A15.
Qualcomm lengthened Krait's integer pipeline slightly from 10 stages in Scorpion to 11 stages in Krait. ARM's Cortex A15 design by comparison features a 15-stage integer pipeline. The A15's deeper pipeline should give it a clock speed advantage as well.
there are many differences between Qualcomm's S4 "Krait" architecture and ARM's A15 design.
Just as Qualcomm's "Scorpion" A8-based chips weren't completely A9's either although they were heavily modified to include some A9 features.
Egypt test favors Vertex shading power, and Mali400 is intentionally lacking in that department. If you were to built a test that was pixel shader heavy, the results would be more balanced. You saw this same kind of thing happen in the GeForce 7, Radion X1900 era, when it was nVidia that decided it was better to have more Pixel power than Vertex power. The SGX doesn't haven't to worry about that since it's USA.
Remember how much it had not been optimized it still dual. And it means that you are limited in the maximum load. (DUAL WITH THE DAMN LOW RESOLUTION ! Which is BIG POINTS in benchmarking.)
U never use your phone how I do. Try to run media in car by Bluetooth, and surf the internet. when your google navigation is ON. What u gonna say now ? Is not optimized yet? Now do everything same on quadcore exynos...it will do it "like a boss".
I can give you fact after fact for a long time...but it's no point. U just got HTC one s...and I got cellphone store. I do not need to read reviews, I'm the one who makes them.

Thanks for the in-depth comparison. This really helps me make a decision.
I hate to give up the quality 1080p recording of the S2, but the One S just seems like the next step in tech.
I'm gonna give it a shot because of the things you've mentioned, and because I'm guaranteed to get a new phone vs. a potentially refurbished S2.

What?
Your post makes no sense at all apart from the middle part......Please learn how to write proper English with the correct use of grammar before posting.
Anyway, taking parts of your post that I can just about make out.
What review are you talking about? None of the reviews I have linked to were created on the 1st May and my review was done near the end of April.
Yes, benchmarking apps aren't optimised for quad core, therefore every expert review site will still use it anyway, seems legit.......
Emm, I said to compare the XL instead of the S, due to the S having a lower res. than the GS 3. The XL has the same res. as the GS 3 and it still beats the GS 3 quad in those benchmarks that I posted.....
I have never used my phone for that, so I can't comment from my own experience on that particular usage. What you are referring to is multi-tasking, which HTC have ****ed up on, they even said it is a "feature", therefore that is why you are probably having issues with doing those 3 things at the same time, again down to software optimization, not hardware.
Ok so you have this "cellphone store" of yours, yet you use a HTC one S as your main phone instead of your beloved GS 3, yeah ok........

No problem
Got the One S last week.
Absolutely love this phone, but my reception at home and at work has suffered as a result of the switch.
I'm not sure why, but I don't get enough signal in my house to make a call now. I was getting 2 solid bars of service with my Galaxy S2.
Are there different radios for this device that I can try?
