It's not a samsung,so no.just knowing I have Odin at my finger tips alone makes me say no.sorry it's just one mans thoughts.good luck.
From a galaxy better than yours.

The design does have its downsides, though. There will no longer be user-replaceable batteries, nor any slot for micro SD expansion. Due to space constraints, these phones will also only be able to use Micro SIM cards.

gosh no...never
gosh no....that's a complete waste of even producing a phone...the specs on it alone make me laugh when my htc g2 would still out-preform the htc one...to jump ship from the galaxy s2 to that...what can i say but happy disappointment, just like the nexus...my two cents

The amaze drove me from ever using htc again. Htc unlock is hella bogus, if you like control over what you buy than htc has pretty much alienated all its loyal customers. With sammy from now on, or until they piss me off again

HTC one s would be a down grade...now if was the one X....that woulda been worth looking at

Doesn't it use the same processor as our phones?
Hmm looking it up, the specs seem nice.

htc last best release was probably the mt4g.
I have practically played with every other t-mobile released htc phones and I have to say they're all disappointing besides the amaze's camera.
So I would wait for more feedbacks and wait for a htc phone that stands out more than its detailed specs.

The htc One x won't be having the quad core processor due to the fact that it doesn't support LTE. They will be getting an one x but with dual core.

Happily waiting for the SG3. so no

HTC one s has a better processor snapdragon s4 crushes tegra3. Stay away from tegra products. But the lack of expandable storage. Also non removable battery kills that phone cloud storage doesn't make up for expandable storage. Especially if it isn't permanent storage.

Good phone!
is a beautiful phone, but the problem, as on the iphone, there is the possibility to easily change the battery or to use external memory or other devices, a bit limited, but a good phone!

Im not gonna lie. The One X looks nice. They actually made it look good for once. Now, when it comes to waste of money, No. I'll be patiently waiting for the Galaxy S III. Its quad core, 1080p resolution. Samsung is just better anyways.

Maybe HTC one XE?

I'm getting the international version of the One X (one with Tegra 3). I've already pre ordered it from Expansys.... I'm not on AT&T and I could give a crap about their limited LTE. The One S isn't worth it in my opinion and I have T-Mobile...

HTC ONE XL vs GALAXY S3

Hi I'm going to get either the HTC one X( the us version ) or the galaxy s 3( us version) they both have snapdragon s4 and a dual core but the galaxy s3 has 2 gigs of ram so I'm wondering how is that going to affect the performance especially gaming wize because I'm a HUGE gamer

one x wins by default because the s3 looks like a space ship, awkward long screen, and PHYSICAL HOME BUTTON :laugh:

Galaxy s3 win by a landslide. With 2gig of rams and external memory expendable up 84gig.

To see if anybody was going to try and convince me and tell that there is no difference in performance but as no one is saying that its safe to say that the gs3 is better than the HTC one xl
Sent from my LG-E739 using XDA Premium App

It's tough to say which is better but as a One X user I can say for sure One X has a better screen. The Super LCD 2 screen on One X is actually an IPS one, just that IPS is a patented trademark. It's full RGB pixel arrangement, unlike the pentile on SGS3 which you can see fuzziness even at about 20cm despite the HD screen.
Also One X is very camera centric. Trust me it takes better photos than S3. Aperture, sensor and software implemention is to it's advantage.
Design wise I feel One X wins by a HUGE margin too, SGS3 is fugly compared to this beauty.
However to be fair, SGS3 wins in this two aspects.
One is battery life, but both phones require a daily charge anyway.
Two is the memory, as in flash storage. But since I'm using the 32GB version it doesn't affect me.
The 2GB RAM doesn't make much of a diff. Android is more than capable enough to run on 1GB. Has the international One X or SGS3 struggled with 1GB RAM?

They are both amazing. Deciding factor is if you need more than 16gb storage and/or a replaceable battery. If yes, sgs3, if no, hox. It's as simple as that.

If you read the first post...
Any ways for a android device 2gb of ram isn't really needed. Android OS implements ram much differently that many other devices. 512mbs would probably be enough. Go with the HTC One X. It has much better screen, design and the battery gets better after a few power cycles. The only downfall over the SIII is removable storage but if your like me I keep most of my files on a cloud service.

If camera is the hox main advantage then the s3 camera must be atrocious because the hox camera is plain awful. Color balance is way off kilter, and turning down saturation a bit helps but does not fix the problem and you might as well not bother with custom WB (daylight, shade, cloudy) because they all look the same and wrong to boot. I Basically the only hope for half decent pics on the hox is AWB with saturation at -1

I know this is not the right forum to ask a question like this but I have been using my desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

If you are a flashaholic would you not be better off going for the Galaxy Nexus?
At this stage you would probably be better off getting a second hand Sensation or SII as long as it is in good condition, would be much cheaper.

s2 will be better then sensation, sensation battry really sucks!! AND my suggestion is XPERIA S!

Don't buy a sensation, buy a Sensation XE. Better battery, 1.5 GHz processor. The ROM's you flash will be the same though.
S2 is a wonderful and fast phone, but I personally don't like is design. It has 1.2 GHz....but I guess it's a little above your budget around 27k I presume..unless you get a nice deal.
Evo 3D and Xperia P are 25k in the market. Both are pretty awesome. Xperia P just looks so elegant though
Best of luck

Yeah, there is no better UI than Sense. And is just looks so good. If you get XE for 24k then is wonderful !
Although I'd like to point out that HTC of its really slow with updates. I got ICS mid easy through July. On top of that there was some problem in the update and I don't have a working Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll have to go to the service centre and install a 'solution' to get it fixed. This however hasn't happen to all XE's. Only to some unfortunate devices. (For more information on this check my thread about it on my profile...I don't want to troll too much here)
About Xperia P...Sony devices don't have rapid and consistent development as far as I know...my brother had Xperia Arc S and its kinda slow.
About the screen now I know what not to do I punch my wildfire even often :banghead:

Hey, I had the desire s for just over a year too and I've just got the one S. I recommend it. Takes a while to get used to the super amoled screen but when you get used to it, it's a fantastic device. It's got a great size screen. 4.3 inch is much better than 3.7 and I think 4.8 is a bit too big. It's also the same size screen as the galaxy s2 and it's a super amoled display so you're getting the greatness of the sgs2 screen on an HTC. It's got a fantastic processor as well the snapdragon s4 is incredible powerful. im getting quadrant scores of about 5000 which is higher than the quad core one x! So get the one s and then you're staying within the HTC community. I've picked up the sgs2 and I just don't like the build quality of their phones. It's like they have expensive hardware chucked in plastic! Doesn't make sense to me and touch wiz is horrible, no problem if like you say you are a "flashoholic" I'm not sure if it's in your budget but it can't be too far off considering it's dual core and the s3 model is cheaper I think

He is right, I guess if you can manage getting One S at even 28k buy it blindly...I didn't recommend this because it's above 30k in the market.
Something I learnt is never by a flagship phone if you are after the next flagship phone is announced or out. I got Desire HD in august '11 and sensation was announced in September. One X was announced as soon as I bought my XE. They just ditch the older one and concentrate upgrading the newer.

The Nexus will be better because you will get your updates much quicker and straight from Google! I'd go with that.

I play with it and its Platform since the first day..

GS2 it is good but it doesn't give you the same feeling as the GNex!

i sign that

I faced the exactly the same question when helping my wife to decide a smartphone. I did a little research on the internet, and here are the reason why I choose SII over Nexus.
1. Super AMOLED vs AMOLED HD
Yes, Nexus as better resolution and higher ppi, but the quality of display, the color saturation on the SII is better than the Nexus when comparing them side by side
2. Corning Gorilla Glass
This is only for the SII, Nexus doesn't have that.
3. CPU + GPU
Galaxy S2 CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、Samsung Exynos 4210。
Galaxy Nexus CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、TI OMAP 4460。
Same CPU, but the GPU for SII is slightly better suited for high end graphics
4. Camera
Galaxy S2：8MP rear camper with 1080p HD video、2MP front
Galaxy Nexus：5MP rear camera with 1080p HD video、1.3MP front
So in the end, I choose the SII instead of Galexy Nexus. But please keep in mind, that the difference are minor, so if you have already choose the Nexus, stay with it. Both are excellent benchmark android device. Excellent phones from Samsung.

So I was looking up on online stores which sell One S....and nowhere the specify what version it is, S3 or S4. So how do I know online that is the phone is S3 OR S4 before thinking to order it.
If I'm not mistaken, S3 has internal memory of 1.2 GB and S4 has 16GB ?

No above post is wrong there is a big difference between the two s3 is is using the older chip (s3 chip) and has been over clocked to 1.7 GHz it is a lot slower compared to the s4 version and quadrant scores vary a lot. Do not get the s3 version Its not worth the money you can get a better phone for the price. However if you can get the s4 version get it because the phone is amazing you can tell which one is which because s4 version has msm8960 processor and is 1.5ghz ... DO NOT GET THE S3 ONE.... There are not even many devs working on it and is a terrible phone

I had both phones and can say S3 performance is very bad compared to S4. Phone is much slower, UI stucks and is very laggy. Don't buy it.

I have S3 version. And tested S4 version too. Despite there is no noticable differantiation about their performance, dont buy S3 version. Because there will be always update issues about S3 version as we seen here, S3 versions are still not updated to 4.0.4 while S4 versions got.

Actually its you mate, you shouldn't look into numbers so much, going through the ui the galaxy nexus with jelly bean runs smother than most phones but yet quadrant is only like 2000..... Numbers mean **** its down to real world performance. If you go on the one x forum you will see a lot of people saying it has lag in areas the one s doesn't yet it has better quadrant. Numbers mean nothing its down to real world and you really cant make an argument for a device you have never used.

I'm getting confused now with varying opinions
and my original question is....how do i know the phone is S3 or S4. Sense 4 and 4.1 is one of them but i cant check it before i buy it even in a store....and the processor is different. Anymore ?

S3 units suck, no customizing with not enough experiance because most devs only support S4 units.
they releasing one update after other for S4 but for S3 units only two custom roms exists.
