Oh man brother! im trying to make that same descision !!! Im thinking .. hmm ceramic, quad core, +++... or huge ol' georgous phantasy beast of a phone
Im curious to hear what other brothers are sayin' as well
I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.
Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.
I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure
We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

I am planning on getting either phone.
Which phone do you think is better and WHY?
Nexus s. Pure Google experience. Get updates much faster, such as Ice Cream Sandwich. G2x seems very problematic from what I have heard. The screen on nexus is better, the only thing going for the g2x is the processor and slightly faster data speeds.

I've had the G2x i traded to the Nexus S
They're about equally matched
The G2x doesnt have reboot issues anymore (after update)
at first, when dual-core was bleeding edge, it had some problems
The screen is slightly curved on the edges
1080p video
Dual-core tegra 2 (my Nexus S outscored the tegra 2 in Quadrant Video subsection)
Screen is average
Less plasticy then the Nex
Speaker is not loud at all
LG doesnt give the best tech support
The Nexus S will get updates faster
No Micro SD (16GB built in at high speed)
NFC (Google Wallet+MasterCard/PayPass)
No 720p video
Screen is amazing, pentile may look funny the first 2 days, but i cant even tell the difference anymore..
Curved glass feels nice on your fingers
Minor WiFi reception problems
It all depends on what you want. I traded a used G2x for a new in-box Nexus S. I just love the AMOLED screen, you cant tell where the screen ends, that's how good the contrast ratio is

No, its an LG Optimus G2x.
The Galaxy S 2 is a GS2.
But thanks guys .. still wondering. Its hard when you want a phone thats going to last you a bit.
Heres how I see it:
nexus s: Better battery, better screen, nicer design.
g2x: Better performance, more powerful phone, better build quality.
So here i am trying to get convinced lol.
Wow i have had both phones & j was happy with my g2x after i learned how to root n upgrade to g.b. but the nexus is kind of faster. I think either phone is good but there's more dev & mods on the g2x.
This is because the nexus s everything works out the box.
Plus you know were gonna be 1 if the 1st to get ics.

i used tge G2x and currently now im on Nexus S. These are the reasons i didnt like G2x:
-Battery Life is not as good as Nexus S.
-The LCD is actually really nice and bright, how ever the pixel density and image quality are no where near as good as Nexus S.
-To be really picky, the phone is awkward shaped and proportioned, its too tall for its screen size
+every other reason people have mentioned, HOWEVER i didnt have a single known issue problem with mine

Dude, I did the same thing –bought a G2x and a Nexus S on Craigslist and have been playing with them for about week now. G2X, rooted and ROMed, is fast, stable and a nice looking machine. On the right ROM, the battery can last all day, evening with streaming music, calls and texts, and still be half full. The camera is fargging great, too. There are two complaints I have. One is that the G2x feels a little awkward in my hand, especially compared with the curved Nexus S, which fits perfectly. The G2x is just a millimeter or two too wide for a comfortable grip for me. The other is the ICS situation. I’m sure the G2x devs will get ICS onto the phone via Cyanogen or whatever, but because LG won’t be open with certain drivers it’s uncertain whether ICS will be able to take full advantage of the phone. Oh yeah, and the comment about the sound issue is accurate, too. Although sound clarity is great, the speaker is quiet – if you’re in a crowd or noisy room, it can be a little difficult to hear who you’re talking to.
Basically, you can’t go wrong with either phone. I’ll probably hang on to both until it becomes more clear how the ICS situation plays out and then sell one of them.
Honestly, I dont even care about ICS lol .. I just want an all around better phone.

See that is why ics is so important. The UI will be hardware accelerated giving you the smoothest experience possible. Hardware acceleration on a single core will blow away a software accelerated dual core.

I love the nexus, the prospect of getting 4.1 is exciting...I want that project butter.
Questions about the gs3 include: does the back light bleed through on the menu, back buttons, charging indicator light on the white version, like it did on my white galaxy s 2? My hands are average size, the gs2 was a bit of stretch to the top left corner with my right thumb. How does it feel to you? 4.8 seems like a large screen size, hence my previous question...does it seem overly big to you, in your pocket or in your hand? I appreciate any input about the real world use of the GS3, white or blue, even if it's not in direct response to my questions. Thanks!

Not to ignore your questions, but if you want root etc, you may want to wait until they figure out how to get passed the locked bootloaders.
In regards to your questions, the screen is huge, but designed wonderfully to fit in your hand (curves etc). As far as light leaks go, I haven't seen any on mine yet, but I haven't exactly checked for those.

I love my GS3 more than any other phone i've ever owned but the nexus does run a quad core cpu with 2gb of ram where the GS3 is dual core cpu with 2gb ram. Just watch some comparison videos and see which one you like better.

Why Idc about the one x+?
Coming from the one S I find the gs3 screen better. It Sucks in daylight but it doesn't bother me. Another thing is battery. They one+ is reportedly rocking the same size battery as the one x. Higher clocked processor with more cores = terrible battery life. Another reason is HTC in general. Coming from the one S I still don't think they even have full s off because Htc hasn't released the source code (last time I check people still couldn't make custom kernels) whereas Samsung released the gs3 instantly. Last reason is the sense ui. It's wack compared to touchwiz Imo.
I make enough money to get a new phone monthly if I wanted to. I won't be buying another Htc branded phone for a while. Not until they get better at supporting the dev community. I'm even still in my 14 day return period and I won't be returning it. Now release a gs3+ with an s4+ pro (quad) and you win me over lol.

Not entirely true. Tegra 3 processors have a 5th core clocked @512mhz that runs all the background stuff if the cores aren't needed...thus giving it a better battery life. And, the GPU made by NVidia is awesome. Our Adreno 225 is just no match...sorry to say guys....but if that one x+ does come out with Tegra 3 and JB right or off the box...looks like I'll be making the jump. I'll still keep my s3 tho...like I do with all my phones.

Hmmm,...Im not seeing much of a difference. In fact, the S2 Snapdragon wins at least as many as the Tegra 3. Granted, if its at 1.7 GHz, it will make a little difference.

Ehh, I prefer Samsung over HTC...so...not really. There's really no need for quad core phones. Some people don't even have Quad Core PCs. :/
I was an HTC loyalist before the Galaxy S3 came out and the One S wasn't gonna cut it for me so that's why I pulled the trigger on the Galaxy S3 but little did I know how much I would love this phone! Now I'm not gonna lie, when I found out about the One X+ I was mad, but if you think about it, the X+ will probably not have a removable battery nor a SD Card slot which are deal breakers for me. Sure Tegra 3+ will be amazing because I'm a gamer on the phones, but 2GB of RAM, Removable Battery and SD card slot is too hard to give up! I love my GS3

I'm super happy with my SGS3. If you need high benchmark scores to make you feel like cool kat, then you should probably go with the HTC, however, WE all know that benchmark scores don't mean squat when compared to real world usage. That being said, those of us whom have already grown up are quite contempt with our Samsung phones. Believe me, I used to be a die hard HTC fan, always getting the latest and greatest of all their devices. Although one can only take so much before they just give up all hope and walk away feeling betrayed. After all of the random reboots, frozen screen, crashes, loading screens, glitches and disappointments, I decided that enough is enough HTC has let me down for the last time. I am now a born again Samsung lover, I feel sorry for ever straying in the first place, however, I am more than thankful that the SGS3 has brought me back to where I belong....

I was comparing the stock email app UI with my Droid Incredible the other week and the Galaxy S III display, speed, etc. made my Incredible look like a toy.
Without the Galaxy S III around for reference, my Incredible is absolutely cool and smooth looking+feeling. Bring the Samsung into the field of view and that impression gets thrown out the window . . . with the window and the wall that held the window.
- ooofest
About the Incredible - that phone is still probably the nicest phone to hold from a size/texture perspective.
I also got the white S3 and having a white border around the screen also made a much bigger difference than I thought.

Man I'm coming from the ORIGINAL Motorola Droid a couple years back. This has been my first upgrade since. Yea you know it... love this phone!
I got verizon to swap my Droid Razr ( Not maxx) for a S3 for FREE. This phone rocks, thanks verizon for giving me a phone that works with flash player again and has a working Wifi and GPS.
That with 4G that is not trash so far that's nice too. ( They fixed my 4G issue's with the ICS update on the razr, but WIFI,GPS and FLASH PLAYER all got shot + more.)
Edit: "Old Droid razr Video" in my sig shows why I started hating that phone. ( If you wanted to know, before taking up for the Razr.)

I'll answer a dumb question with a smart (ass) answer. How the hell should any of us know what you want. It depends on too many variables.

Really since you have to ask why not get one of each so when you brick on you'll have a back up. Ha.

Only you can make that decision. If you're referring to the Nexus 4, let's just say that I wouldn't ever trade a Samsung for an LG (Legit Garbage) with no external storage capacity.

Why would you want to downgrade yourself?

If you wanna waste your money get a nexus good way to spend money in less. Depending on the nexus device lte is limited or not there and no external(iPhone space BS) to me not even worth it

I personally have had nothing less than absolute misery with LG cell phones I steer clear. I'm sure the Nexus is a good product [but no external SD?? C'mon.]
Samsung makes the best Android cell phones in my opinion. Skyrocket
Skyrocket all the way. Every Samsung phone I've owned has been awesome. Can't say the same with the two LG's I once had. You should also consider looking at the development sections for each to see what roms, kernels, tweaks, etc are available. Skyrocket development is awesome. Many many choices.
I usually stick to everything Samsung (my SSD, phones, ram, fridge etc...)
If you're going to decide between Skyrocket and GNEX then here is the run down:
Both phones are dual core, Skyrocket being clocked higher and slightly faster than the GNEX at stock.
Both phones have 1GB or ram
Skyrocket you can put a memory card in, GNEX does not.
Skyrocket has LTE, GNEX (not the verizon version) does not (if that matters).
Skyrocket is 480x800, GNEX is 720x1280 so visually the GNEX will look a tad better based on pixel density and real estate.
So when it comes down to it its more like a side grade.
Skyrocket missing the HD resolution while the GNEX is missing LTE and expansion slot. So pretty much its all on preference and uses. But the biggest thing is probably the community and development. No doubt the GNEX has a large community and when there is an OS update it comes straight from Google on the day of or a little later when its announced. With the Skyrocket you may be lucky to get the update officially but will get it on AOSP and there is dedicated awesome devs here :good:
I personally have both the Skyrocket and the Nexus 4 and with the recent JB leak the Skyrocket is pretty quick and snappy. The Nexus 4 though is on another ball game but it is indeed fast, super snappy and has good development. Only thing I do miss is LTE, another thing is the OS isnt optimized so much on the Nexus 4 yet that battery hasnt been that great for most people. I get an average of 15hr~ and 3-4hr screen time. My Skyrocket has seen some better days but it is on LTE and that one was giving me 30/30mbps here while my N4 is stuck with HSPA 8/1mbps so that could be a factor when choosing speeds and whatever uses. I also miss the AMOLED blacks but the IPS on the N4 is pretty nice, some people who went from S3s to N4 were complaining that it looked washed out but it looks fine to me.
So pretty much between the S2, GNEX and N4 you lose the same things on the GNEX/N4 (LTE, expansion slot) you gain a larger screen resolution and early OTA updates from google. :good:
