HTC One X has better hardware than the Nexus. You should totally buy it.
As is almost always the case with device comparisons, each has their own advantages/disadvantages. The One X certainly has superior hardware, but the Nexus has the advantage of the pure Google experience out-of-the-box and is guaranteed to receive official updates before other devices for the foreseeable future.
One X totally
Google Nexus is on par with Galaxy SII in terms of performance, and One X is HTC's answer to Galaxy SIII, it is almost 1 generation later than the Nexus. So definitely go for the One X.
But I would pick the S3 instead of One X from my experience with HTC sensation.

I agree with DruidXL..
Choose the OneX over Nexus and the S3 over OneX but if your going to do a lot of ROM dev then go in for Nexus as its easier to do in that phone as its a Nexus Series phone..

Thanks of all of you, i am decidid to buy the one x but definitely i will take off the sense and put a jelly bean rom!!!
Wow. Thats funny, I have convinced a person who bought the HTC one x to switch to the gnex. He was amazed at the fluidity of the gnex.

I'd still choose the Nexus. One X is fugly and *shudder* sense. S3 is like a slightly better Nexus without the advantage the Nexus line adds.
I would go for the One X... much better hardware a little more expensive tho.
We had a big debate about this at work. Consensus was that the One X is definitely the superior phone if it's bought carrier-free, unlocked and rooted, but the Galaxy Nexus is a far better value.

Hey guys!
I now this question isnt about the NS, but sence you guys apparently have the same taste in phones as me, I found it best to ask for you guys opinion.
I'm looking for a new phone, and was ofcourse concidering the Galaxy Nexus. But then the HTC One X was announced. The thing is that the Galaxy Nexus is still more expensive than the HTC One X here in Norway, and I do belive that the HTC One X packs more "horsepower" than the Galaxy Nexus anyway.
I was also thinking bout the Samsung Galaxy III, but sence Samsung support on updates are less than ****, i quickly discarded the idea.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers!
I would wait until you can walk into a store and play with both of them. Don't let the supposed faster updates of the Nexus line sway you. After about a year those promises are left empty anyway. There are multiple phones that will get ICS before the Nexus S does so thinking about Jelly Bean...you will just as likely get it on another manufacturers device before you will on the Galaxy Nexus.
The nice thing about an HTC phone is you will most likely have the option of running Sense ROMS or AOSP roms if there is enough development which there most likely will be now that bootloaders are easily unlocked. I had this choice when I had my Evo Shift and it was nice depending on my mood.
I am in the same boat between the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X. It really depends on Sprint's schedule for me at this point and whether they will carry the HTC One X.
Ive played around with the GN, as a friend of mine just bought it. Its a nice phone, with a much better build quality than the NS. Very fast and responsive, but nothing mindbogeling, when compared to the NS. I imagine that the HTC One X is a better phone i every aspect when it comes to specs, over the GN?
Hi all,
Me and my gf are looking to get a new mobile phone/smart-phone some time soon. We've been using an iPhone 3GS for about two years now and think its time to upgrade.
I told her that I think Android Phones are better than Apple phones and we've been looking around.
So far we've had a look at (I dont know the EXACT names...im not good with phones):
HTC One X
Samsung Galaxy S2
Google Galaxy Nexus
iuno much about other phones so far..should we wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 5?
I will be using it mostly for music\watching converted videos\occasional games with the occasional calling and texting, and she will be doing pretty much the same, with a bit more calling and texting. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks all.
The one x!!!
I Would wait for S3 full specs... But so far i would go with one X
Yeah if you can't wait get the HTC one x, if not wait for the sg3 specs.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I think one x is the best so far but still u can chill for S3
Samsung Galaxy S3
HTC ONE X
or if you want a device without the Manufacturer Skins go for a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, you'll be the first to get updates from Google.
Galaxy S2.. or better yet, just wait for the S3...
One X has the better specs among the phone you mentioned but the only thing that keeps me from choosing it is the fact that its not using Super Amoled screen.
I dunno, but I tend to shy back on phones not running Super Amoled screens anymore.. Sammy is pretty much on the bandwagon on hooking me up on their Super Amoled screens that my eyes are keenly fond or fixated by it already
anything not Super Amoled (for me) is not so much anymore nice to look at....
Just me though
I would choose the HTC One X.
HTC ONE X will get all app support)
One x

Take a look at the Asus Padfone. Same core as the One X, but transformerable into a tablet and notebook form. It's set to be released this month with the LTE version coming Q3.
I would wait until the officially announce the Galaxy s3 because it is supposed to be incredible, but if it is not you could just go buy your next best choice!
I would wait for the specs from the new galaxy too. But, like the others, if you could not wait, id go with the one x.
The Nexus is a pure ICS Phone. Would be my favorite.
HTC uses the Sense UI, the One X Sense 4 which might be quite good looking and has some special apps on top. But: Right at the moment I'm using a HTC Desire with a ICS Custom ROM (before I always used a ROM with Sense) and i thought a could not life without Sense UI, but ICS is nearly perfekt.
I read somewhere that google wants to release Android 5.0 in August 2012. That another point why i would buy the google phone - the nexus will be the first to get the update.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
htc one X

None, go with the One S. HTC has the best UI and the One S has basically the same hardware as the Galaxy Nexus, plus it has a better sized screen.
Galaxy Nexus
ONE S !!!
Galaxy nexus for me. I like the fact that you can have the updates before everyone else because it's a google phone

Haha, yeah sure. My nexus s was on 4.0.3, while galaxy nexus was on 4.0.1... I would advice you the one s!
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
the galaxy nexus is $400 from google unlocked which is only $150 more than the htc one s
so you get to stay off contract and cancel whenever you like.
However the htc one s has a much better camera, not only MP but also because htc added some tweaks and stuff
The one s also has sense 4 which is good if you're a fan of UIs.
The nexus is a google device which means it should get updates quicker than most phones unless you root and flash a custom rom
The htc one s also has a better feel because it's not as plastic-y AND COMES WITH WARRENTY FROM TMOBILE (which is very easy to claim)
EDIT: nexus has a better screen but one s has beats audio
nexus has nfc while the one s doesnt
if you like to mess with phones, i recommend the one s because of the easy warranty exchange with tmobile

Ons S is the best! but poor batteries
according to reviews in my country, one s has very good camera (high quality foto). Very hard choise You wanna have support from google, take nexus.
i would prefer one s
The CPU in the one S is much much faster then the one in the galaxy nexus. The 2 Krait cores perform as fast as or faster then the 4 tegra cores of the tegra 3. The Adreno 225 is also a powerful GPU.
Galaxy NEXUS FTW!!!!
Get the nexus
Here's why
1.The battery
2.NFC
3.NO UI
4.THAT GODDANG AMOLED
5.Updates and ROMS

In terms of physical looks, the ONE S looks better to me.
I guess you have to try it out, maybe read reviews too.
OS-wise, I suppose the Nexus would basically work like maybe a Galaxy S2 with CM9, the stock ICS experience.
Then on the ONE S theres Sense 4.
Theres the feel of the phone, is it comfortable to hold, the weight.
Does it feel good in your pocket.
Or you are the tweaker and have the knowledge to bend any of the phones, within its limits, to your liking.
For ONE S there should be less custom stuff to play with as its new.
And if you are an accessory fan, consider if the phone will be popular or not.
When I got my HTC Desire, no shops seem to be selling any case for the phone locally.
Luckily theres a free case from the telco but its 'barely there', in the end got one from eBay.
If you're ok with online shopping then its fine, I suppose.
It doesnt matter that HTC is the best or Galaxy Nexus is designed by Google its all about the Hardware and Software combination of the phone its advantages and disadvantages its performance and other things needs to be watched. So my choice is Galaxy Nexus.
Prefer one s. seremic body and UI will give you a perfect experience. Basically nexus is great. You will get the latest update and great camera shutter speed etc. But android growing fast. Time to feel new thing..
Hi experts

One X definitely!
The S3 looks ugly as sin in comparison lol. One X is beautiful imo. Add to that Sense 4.0 is a massive improvement and really develops off stock UI while not adding too much crap like the old versions did. However S3 has USB OTG out of the box whereas the One X needs a custom kernel from EternityProject by kholk
The new touchwiz in my opinion is better than sense. All these enhancements really add to the experience (smart stay etc...). Also Samsung is known to support (at least their flagships) their devices for a long time. The camera isn't much of a difference. Both are good but I'd prefer the gs3. Although I urge you to buy the S4 equipped variants, be it hox or gs3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
S III is ugly but I prefer its Exynos proccessor and Mali over Htc One X's Tegra 3, which I think is not as powerful as it should be.
pls any one had experience with both handset come and give there valuable feed back................
Go for Galaxy S3 if you love being a flash junkie or love to try new ROMs and stuff..
If you want to keep a stock like feel to your phone then go for OneX..
Reason:
Samsung has an unlockable bootloader and more developer base whereas HTC has a signed bootloader and you can only turn off the security and HTC doesn't has that much of a developer base compared to Samsung..
One big issue is that you can NOT change the battery in ONE X !
How many threads comparing the same two phones do we need?
The galaxy S3 is the best because his processor make a different

One X all the way!
In my opinion, One X has much more beautiful design, Sense is better than TouchWiz, HTC has a better past in terms of maintaining its phones up to date and One X as better screen.
If you normally use more than one battery and/or think that 32GB aren't enough for you, you should consider going for the Galaxy S III.
One x has very bad battery life and if your not a modder. I'd go with the Galaxy S3

IMHO. if its the international version: GS3
US version: One X
Are you Jelly...? Galaxy Nexus JB 4.1.1
Also trying to decide between those two phones. Right now S3 is winning.
One x has horrible battery.
But i do like sense ui. Can that be ported to S3?

Go for the sgs3
Because its faster,had better battery life,better screen...
So its better
HTC looks 1000x better, but S3 is a bit faster. I'd go for S3 but it's a tough choice, both are excellent in their own way. I believe HTC is cheaper?

I have a galaxy nexus now, i just want something new\different to try. Trying to match the same specs\prettyness\performance of the nexus.
Thinking a One X or SG3. Which one has the better ROM\support community? I love being able to get new OS updates and tweaks\customization.
I'd go with the HTC One X
Tried S3 for about 1 week but went back to my Nexus poor battery life and fu**** touch wiz

Why match the Nexus? Wait until there's something that will actually be better than the Nexus. No other phone will have the same the community support or the latest OS updates that 100% work from the start...It will always be a trade-off
I've had nothing but HTC android phones (5) and loved them all, especially the sensation with all the support it has here on xda. normally, i would go with the HTC One, but the non-expandable storage and non-removable battery are deal breakers for me. love HTC's build quality and feel, but with 1gb of internal storage and a 16gb sd card, i still have to erase stuff sometimes because i'm running out of room. And not being able to switch batteries or get an extended one is really inconvenient. Hopefully HTC will rethink those 2 things on next model.

Rom support is great on S3 and it's FAST.
Stick with the nexus for now because it has jelly bean on it but if I had to choose I would choose One X

Like maypes above, I'm also a fan of HTC currently using the Sensation. I also have the same concerns with the OneX not having removable batt and no SD card otherwise I'd jump on the OneX over the S3. If I really really had to pick one today, I'd have to go with the S3 although it wouldn't resonate with me emotionally. From what I read, they are both good phones anyway. But I'll wait to see what's next especially if HTC will have a future offering with Quad-core A15/Krait CPUs
If you're open to suggestioms I'd wait for the Note 2 or the One X+.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'd keep the Galaxy Nexus until Google announces a new Nexus phone.
I love the look and feel of the One x but settled with the S3 because of the removable sd card and battery.
