What are the pro's and con's of these two smartphones? Htc one x is newer, so better ?
I definitely like the way the HTC OneX looks (in white) over my SGS2... And the screen resolution is better on the one x as well. Sure it isnt SuperAmoled but i could live with that. I'm really not sure which one has the better camera..but the Htcs camera has a few features I would be interested in trying out. Also if having a non removable battery and no expandable micro sd storage bothers you. I would actually give the htc a try if they had the one x on sprint instead of that butchered version they're calling the evo 4 g lte...maybe its looks will grow on me..

I have a one x and love it. It is a better spec'd phone than the sgs2. What I would say about the S2 is that it run really good for an android. The one x is buggy and does some weird stuff the s2 probably works better than any other android.

i read many articles about smartphones, and the htc one-series are a bit better than the sgs2 - imo. and the haptics/quality of htc-phones are better than the samsungs.
samsung is famous because their design ( not in S3 i think it look weird)
one X is a bit stronger then s2 but i will choose s2 because it look better.
samsung is more famous i believe however htc seems better to me with better screen resolution

It's the same 720p resolution.
Of course go with HTC!
Does the USB jig work with any HTC phone? Didn't think so. I'll stick with Samsung please and thanks.
depends on carrier, both phones have different socs based on carrier. Get one with qualcomm 8960. Krait, adreno225, lte on 28 nm process ftw

Two things that I dislike about the one x is the no SD card slot and non removable battery. They aren't total deal breakers, but still big points.
Though, I haven't looked into the S2 much, I'm not even sure if it does have those two things.
Honestly, One X vs SGS3 is a more fair comparison
»Tegra 3 / Qualcomm S4 > Dual Core Exynos
»4.7 SLCD2 720p > 4.3 WVGA SAMOLED+
»Policarbonate Body > Plastic
»One X camera > SGS2 camera
»Sense 4 > Touchwiz 4 (opinion based)
Still, SGS2 has removable battery and expandible storage

hmmm,,, one x
Samsung galaxy s2 is better.
Fan boy
I have Samsung , but I am not fan boy(I think they are like apple fan) I ovviously prefer Htc one x , a very performant smartphone from a very serious society
Of course htc one x!! .. coz it has quad core processor, I'm sure it is better than galaxy s2 .. except you challenged htc one x with sgsiii.. it will be a different story

htc is famous for build quality... no jig but htc has official boot loader unlocking and still covers warranty after that (hardware wise of course)
the screen, camera, and having ICS 4.0 with sense
so i am stuck between one x and one xl , not sure which one is better for me. Can anyone tell me which one is better in general? Will the updates affect the efficiency of the handsets cuz afterall one x has a quad core chip and one xl has a dual core. Another thing is i have been told that yellow stints are often going to appear on the screen when overheated is that true and what about the wifi problem for the one x D: is that true too?
if you're into gaming or running a lot of apps at once, then the one x is going to be better, because it has tegra 3 with console quality game support. Otherwise the one xl has a very good processor for pretty much everything. The one xl will have better battery life, but half the internal storage. I had the option of both and I went with the one x because I need more than 16 gb storage, I like tegra 3 games, and I hate att branding on my phones. The one x will also get much faster updates since the one xl's updates are slowed down due to att.
hummmmmm... yea i use it mainly for gaming LOL well i think i am gonna go for the one x but arent the processors the same tho? and by battery life how much does one xl save?

i have!!!!!!!!!!!! but people keep saying different things like how they have the same speed and some say that this one is faster and that says that one is faster.... I AM SO CONFUSED DUNNO WHICH ONE TO BUY
You are looking to be told which one is better. the problem is... it's all subjective and based on everyone else's opinions and needs. Set the spec sheets for each side-by-side and do a comparison. More storage a priority? go with X. Gaming a priority? go with X. Updates a priority... go with X. etc etc. Perceived 'speed' is subjective too. Everyone has an opinion on it. But really, in the end I'm going to assume you won't notice much of a difference between the two different processors.
just need to find the one that has the most benefits to you personally.
Hi guys not sure if this would be classed as being under the HTC ONE X forum but should be as its aimed at it.
I've currently got a HTC Sensation XE and I'm looking to upgrade to the One X or One S now I'm unsure which one to go with the One X is about £70+ than the One S but has the super LCD 2 HD screen and the other only has the pentile super amoled which is similar to the original galaxy s's where I could see the pixels every now and again depending on the situation etc.
I'm torn between them both as I've been asked to check for any issues with either of them so im wondering is the performance increase going to be there on the one X as I've heard the tegra is slower than the Qualcomm s4 chips quad core wise and the dual s4 chip isnt far off in certain tests, benchmarks and real life?
Could anyone provide me with some useful information and feedback between them and if the performance is a step up from dual core or if its how android used to be not supporting dual core properly till later android builds etccheers

The quadcore for me has been a huge setp up compared to my note. Performance wise it is top notch. I don't care about benchmark scores. In day to day operation it is flawless. The choice is up to you but I would recommend the quad one x.

i upgraded from a Sensation XE recently to a One X and i have been loving it. Sense has become smoother (albeit not earthshakingly smoother as the XE on ICS is doing pretty okay) and the screen is awesome.
One thing. I checked out the One S after using my One X for a few weeks. I could actually see pixelation. Kinda surprised since everyone says its not that big an issue. Seems like our eyes adjust very quickly to better display

My friends wife has the S, good phone but I would pay £70 just for the superior screen, let alone other upsells. OneX all day long.
Ill be honest I'd go for the x also...although I like my s...still want the x even now.
More for cm9 then the phone maybe...
Still what worries me also with the x is the amount of dodgy devices having to be replaced
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium App
As you asked this in the One X section, 'course a lot of people will tell you to get the X. Though (imo) it really depens on your needs.
I've got the One X for about a week now. I have to say, it is an awesome phone. I really really love the screen. Too bad it is this huge.. It just doesn't fit quite well in my hand. (true, my hands are kind off small) I used to have an HD2, which is only .5cm smaller yet way easier to hold and use with one hand. As I cycle a lot I find this quite important.
If it wasn't for the screen and dev support (don't get me wrong: both are very important!), I would actually buy the One S. In everyday usage the One S is just as fast (maybe even faster) as the quad One X. Unless you want to play a lot of high quality games. If there is any difference at all with 'normal' usage, you won't notice the 0.05 seconds. Also the S' battery life is better, and it looks and feels better imo. This is something really personal though.
But yeah.. Once you've seen the X's screen you won't be satisfied with any other.. Just don't buy it because you think a quadcore phone will surely be faster/better.
Just my two cents.
Yeah as said the screen on the X is much much better. I compared my X to a S in store and was actually surprised as to how much better it is. Also coming from the GS2 the X doesn't really feel that much bigger in hand, and I got small hands. I got the grey one, which looks awesome in my opinion. Even better than the white, but that's personal preference of course.

Actually in the US it doesn't have quad core because of LTE.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Hey there guys just want to fill in all the people who were thinking about switching to the international One X because of bigger space, more dev support, quad core and such.
First of all I was always interested of the international version because of the Tegra 3 and the bigger space while believing that I'd have a better experience with the phone.
I decided to order the Tegra 3 version through Amazon and when I received it, I delved right into the custom roms that are available. Now while I very much enjoyed the dev support, something about the int'l version never felt up to par with the att version.
Coming from just a user experience perspective I want to compare these differences of which I think are important to make the device more superior and user "enjoy-ability".
The Speed and Fluidity of the UI:
Like I said before the Int'l version was not as smooth as the ATT version. I used the Android Revolution HD rom and while it was a great rom it never felt up to par to say the CleanRom.
And just to add to this, the Int'l One X ran very hot compared to the ATT version.
Battery
Personally I felt that both had very good battery life and felt even as long as you tweak up the One X with some kernel and rom tweaks provided.
Data
This is what made me cringe when I decided to use the Int'l One X. Often times I need to look up something on google maps really quick and with the ATT One X, I always felt that it succeeded my expectation because of the LTE. So if you're in an area with LTE, the ATT is a very good choice vs the international version.
Customization
The Int'l One X hands down have the most customization with MIUI which I tried and the CM9 builds out there. There are even a lot more mods and themes available. So I was always able to mess with my phone "endlessly".
Now with that said the Android market have a lot of good widgets that can help with your customization needs. And I never felt that I could not customize my ATT One X enough with the apex launcher, minimalistic texts, simi folder, simi calendar etc...
Space
With ~9gb vs ~25gb of space, there isn't too much to argue about here over which is superior and no matter what people say about using just dropbox or google drive. It's aways nice to have enough space to store your stuff that you can access easily.
However, I do prefer more space (duh) I never ran past the 6gb mark on my phone.
Conclusion
So in the end the speed and fluidity of the ui and LTE made me switch back to the ATT version (not that I had return it, I just had it in the box while I test out the int'l one x).
Now dev support is always nice and much nicer when there is a lot of it but what we have now for the ATT One X keeps me satisified. And most likely we will have more dev support now that the US customs had stopped delaying HTC phone shipments.
And for those who are switching to the Samsung Galaxy S III, have fun with your silly looking phone

@ kravguy:
Without LTE both phones use HSPA+ or HSDPA, so the speeds should be the same.
The international one can get up to 21.6Mbit/s on HSPA+ like your at&t one I guess
@ OP:
Is there a big difference in smoothness?
And also how did they compare in speed, like when opening apps etc?
Thanks

Well if you've never used the ATT One X and just went straight to the Int'l one then you wouldn't care but I notice a moderate difference in smoothness especially since most apps out there don't take advantage of the quad core.
My 4g speeds were the same as my other 4g non lte phones

You know what, I'm fine having 2 cores.. the interface is what is limiting the amount of stuff you can do at once with phones anyways. Until there is some type of interactive or holographic interface or something of the sort, we just wont be able to input commands fast enough for the phone to end up lagging behind. This One X (rogers version with the qualcomm chip) is really snappy. I haven't tried an international version yet, and don't think I ever will.

I used Android Revolution HD rom with franco's latest kernel. What I'm saying is that I did not notice any noticeable difference on battery once I used that rom/kernel. And the S4 will be superior to the Tegra 3 processor except for gaming.
Ok, so i have had the AT&T Galaxy S3 for a couple weeks now and its not wowing me like i was expecting and been eyeballing the AT&T HTC One X and not sure on getting that next and selling the S3. So what are your opinions on whats a better device and why its the better device. And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it.

In a nutshell. The sgs 3 is the same processor as the one x. Performance will be about the same with multi tasking being better on the sgs 3. You give up an sd card slot and a removable battery in favor of a better screen and more of a solid feel.

I hope you're right man. I think it's the superior phone. If we could only get something like CM9 working completely that would fix the multitasking, then i'd have no complaints.
I had the one x , sold it and bought an s3 (att/rogers dual core version)
Honestly and truly the one x is a better device in some ways. The battery life is much better on the one x due to the lcd screen using less power despite the two having the same processor. The screen is better too, the one x screen is a lot better and clearer even at lower brightness. Not to mention it just overall looks better (brighter and truer whites, colours also actually look natural unlike amoled). And you cant even deny the fact that the one x has a much much better build quality its a better and more solid feeling device.
Though the siii has an edge over the one x in some areas like sense vs touchwiz, i find that touchwiz almost never lags vs the one x still had hiccups in some areas slight homescreen lag etc etc which is almost non existant on the siii. Plus for me the major issue that drove me away from my one x is the multi tasking issue, basically the one x has the most aggressive app switcher that kills an app almost instantly after you exit it, the phone is near useless at multi tasking. iE if i was listening to music and went to change the song while browsing, when i came back to the browser the phone would have to "reload" the app.
With that said, the two phones are practically neck to neck, just depends what you prefer as strongpoints and what you can live with as weak points. I would sell my siii in a heartbeat if the stupid multi tasking issue was fixed on the one x.
just my " two cents."

Plus for me the major issue that drove me away from my one x is the multi tasking issue, basically the one x has the most aggressive app switcher that kills an app almost instantly after you exit it, the phone is near useless at multi tasking. iE if i was listening to music and went to change the song while browsing, when i came back to the browser the phone would have to "reload" the app.
With that said, the two phones are practically neck to neck, just depends what you prefer as strongpoints and what you can live with as weak points. I would sell my siii in a heartbeat if the stupid multi tasking issue was fixed on the one x.
just my " two cents."

Curious, what was your net loss selling the One X and buying a new S3?

Hmm i got lucky and got a good price for my one x, bought it for 500, sold it for 480 and bought the galaxy s iii for 500.
I prefer the screen and build quality of the One X but love that Samsung released source code so soon (most likely just to steal sells and pull users like myself)
Everything else has been said. They both have advantages and disadvantages. It's pick your poison.
Me, I chose to go where the source was. No sense waiting 90 to 142 (if there's an update) days and using workarounds to unlock the bootloader if someone else openly offers both.
I know, I'm a broken record since I got this phone. I'll try to post a little less lol. Just frustrated with HTC

The main reason i dont like my GS3 is because the build quality of it feels a bit cheap, like the back battery cover already has a crack in the top right corner. I also get a few kinks like my SD card randomly unmounts, i get lags here and there, a few FC's, and launcher restarts. Other than that the phone is solid...Just a couple things i would expect it to tackle but samsung kinda over looked.
On the other hand ive used HTC devices before and there build quality even back when i was using the G1 was great, they make it feel solid along with adding the perfect amount of weight to the phone. Ive never had a problem with an HTC phone, only with there batterys, thats why i was kinda leery on the One X not having a removable back so if the battery does screw up like it has in my G1, HD2 and MT4G i can just easily put a new one in. But overall i dont mind it having less ram and no SD port because i pay for my dropbox monthly to have extra space.

In a nutshell. The sgs 3 is the same processor as the one x. Performance will be about the same with multi tasking being better on the sgs 3. You give up an sd card slot and a removable battery in favor of a better screen and more of a solid feel.

Agreed. That being said I'm favoring my SGSIII at the moment.

Ok, so i have had the AT&T Galaxy S3 for a couple weeks now and its not wowing me like i was expecting and been eyeballing the AT&T HTC One X and not sure on getting that next and selling the S3. So what are your opinions on whats a better device and why its the better device. And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it.

Its getting redundant with that same reply im getting. Like i stated in the OP "And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it." I much rather take to a forum where the main phone is the HOX where people that will actaully reply used the One X and maybe both One X and SGS3 and can give me solid reasoning why. I trust some ones word that has used the device longer then just some one who is just doing a review because they have too...

Thanks for your questions. After all it is the General HTC one X forum!
Rather than waste a post with a school girl reply, I will help answer your question.
I have had both and took back the SGIII. I like the One X better, mainly because the SGIII screen does not work as well outdoors and the whites are more greyish than the One X.
Hope that helps?
What's not "wowing you" about the SGS 3? This info might get you a better answer.
We seem to be losing more and more people everyday to the sgs3. Source better come soon or I think this phone will be doomed development wise.
