Hello One X users ,
Just wonderin what I might've missed out when I decided to get the SGS3. One X seemed pretty tempting at the time.
So how's development, the community and the phone itself?
The community is certainly more close than other forums like the GS3 and One S, One X Intl. etc.
Development is good unless you are on the latest AT&T 2.20 software, which a previous exploit used to root has been patched, so if you are on 2.20 you can't root yet.
Phone itself is awesome, awesome camera, stock software etc. IMO, the GS3 touchwiz is foul, Sense 4.0 is much more elegant.

Development is solid. It's a good community and the amount of updates and roms isn't overwhelming, yet you can find decent improvements every week.
In terms of the phone, the One X takes the cake with it's screen alone. The Super LCD is superior to the SGS3's pentile AMOLED. It actually rivals iPhone's retina display, despite the larger size.
I think what made me decide between the two was when I tried out Flipboard on both phones. The One X was sharper, smoother and faster. The SGS3 seemed fast when using Touchwiz, but Flipboard was jittery and blurry.
But of course, everyone has different tastes. I do miss the removable battery and expandable memory, and extra RAM would be nice.
I'm still blown away by the screen mostly

The screen and the fact it's not made out of so cheap plastic like the Samsung. It is still plastic but being made out of a solid one piece makes it seem more solid and a little heavier too which is great.
Over-all, I've had my phone since June and I LOVE it. The Roms that out there currently are AMAZING.

I bought mine for the awesome screen. It's very smooth and lag-free. Only downsides (for me) compared to siii are lack of sdcard slot and powered otg.
Lol, not a troll thread. I'm serious. And yes, the screen probably is far superior to the AMOLED on the S3. I had an iPhone and the S3's screen can't even compare. I gotta go play with the One X soon lol.
Speaking of which, how's rooting for Canadian Carriers?
Coming from a few Samsung devices I miss having a screen that doesn't scratch spontaneously, the microSD slot, USB OTG, TouchWiz codec support, and task650 (super smooth, stable, complete AOKP).
The screen is nice, the camera is great. Sense 4 is growing on me. Still too much change for the sake of change for my taste, but light years ahead of sense 3.x, and something you have to get used to if you want the best battery life and camera.

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.

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'd only suggest it if you can get it for the 350 dollars it costs from the Google Play Store. In Canada, you can only get it from carriers which charge around 650 dollars for it without a contract.
The Galaxy Nexus screen is... decent. The blacks look great but the whites are somewhat blue-ish. While the One X has the best screen I've seen on a phone, I'd gladly sacrifice that for a Galaxy Nexus if I only had to pay 350 for it.
Whether it will work in Pakistan is a different story. I am not sure what the frequencies are there, and whether 3G/4G will even work.

That's not an even trade at all. You are talking a $550 phone (HOX) for a $350 one. At least get some cash tossed in too if you are serious about it.

This. The only phone I'd consider an even swap is a Galaxy S 3.
I had a Galaxy Nexus and sold it to buy a One X, and I don't regret it. The Galaxy Nexus has a far larger developer community, but aside from that I prefer the One X in every regard. The battery life on my LTE One X is FAR better than on my GSM Nexus, the screen is worlds better, and the One X far smoother (at least smoother pre-Jelly Bean). Additionally, the camera on my One X produces better shots as well.
If you like flashing ROMs for the sake of flashing ROMs, consider the Nexus. For pretty much every other reason the One X is superior.

The One X is a far better phone hardware-wise. The screen is where it really stands out. Since you said you would be trading for a GSM version of the Nexus, I assume that Pakistan uses GSM. Your best bet would be to buy an unlock code for your One X off ebay for $6, and unlock the One X.
As far as development goes, the GNEX has better developer support in terms of quantity. I think our dev quality is equal if not better, considering we have ROM choices and no kernel source has been released. When speaking of development, I ask you "What can't you do on the One X right now?"
Root - Check
Bootloader Unlock - Check
Tethering - Check
Custom Rom - Check (albeit some minor issues)
We don't need kernel tweaks for battery because the battery on the One X is fantastic.
I ran AOKP on my Skyrocket because it gave me slightly better battery life and Tethering support. I run CleanRom on my HOX, and I have all of the same features, and everything just works...no flashing nightlies or kernels to fix soft reboots.
I personally couldn't be happier with my HOX, and I'm glad I chose it over the S3 or GNEX.

Gonna have to agree with the majority here. Last year before the nexus came out, I told myself I'd get one. When it did, I wasn't really impressed with the hardware.
The one x has is better than the galaxy nexus in every way other than the true blacks of the screen and software updates. But the one x has a great amount of developers and the only thing left at this point is the source release from HTC. Once its released, custom roms and kernels will be abundant.
Hardware on one x is at least a year ahead of the gnex. Like another member said, only other phone I would trade straight up is a s3. And even then, the feel and build of the one x is still better.

Except that I still love ROMs but I'm also much happier with the hardware on the One X. Side by side, the difference in screen quality is unbelievable.
Sucks losing a larger dev community, but I don't regret selling my Nexus.
Using: HTC One X // Paranoid Android // Tapatalk
I switched out due to wanting to learn how to dev really badly with a Nexus device being the best to learn on, and due to the cost difference for me saved ($70) but I miss my One X dearly.
The build quality is unmatched... the screen is stellar. And its blazing fast, not to mention its sexy as hell.
I don't think I made a mistake, because I really do like my Nexus (the screen is pretty damn awesome and I just like the feel), but I am definitely getting another One X in a month or two when the price drops.

I'd suggest playing with the nexus as much as you canand just see if you love it more.
Imo, stick with the hox. My pros are screen and speed overall. The available Roms are fun enough to mess with.

One X for its build quality and great screen.
I know the Gnex is a developer's dream but the way I look at it.
With HTC One X - can you have a fully functional asop rom = yes.
With the Gnex - can you have a fully functional sense rom = no.
I always prefer asop but with an HTC phone, you always have the option to go back to working "sense". If that makes any sense lol.

Galaxy Nexus for $350, ditch contract and get prepaid, profit.
Though it depends. How much is a lot? Do you need SD card? And what kind of media? If lots of video, you should look into SG3 vs One X screens.

I have to agree I've was testing the Galaxy Note 2 last few days and whilst the display on that is an improvement over the SGS3 it was still Meh compared to the HOX.
Sure AMOLED has better contrast and blacks but SLCD2 is just sexy. Crisp text and sharp. Whites are better, colours are less over saturated, brighter, and my god SLCD3 is supposed to be even better!

I really can't tell the difference. I used my friends gs3 yesterday and it looked perfectly fine and usable to me.
I know we get better viewing angles but during normal browsing i'm fine with either.
I completely agree. My girlfriend has an S3 and the blue tint is incredibly noticeable to me. The One X has the best screen of any device I've ever owned, by far.
I'm not thrilled with HTC or at&t nowadays.
I'm considering switching to Sprint within the next week.
But all the mass marketing doesn't warm me to the SG3 either.
Sorry but the bawdy home button and ugly camera and sensor holes are butt ugly.
Lots of cheap feeling plastic, roundy corners, and Touchwiz - all with a bluish tint display that's horrible in sunlight?
No thanks.
SG3 has never been on my shopping list, and won't be.

I'm considering switching to Sprint within the next week.
But all the mass marketing doesn't warm me to the SG3 either.
Sorry but the bawdy home button and ugly camera and sensor holes are butt ugly.
Lots of cheap feeling plastic, roundy corners, and Touchwiz - all with a bluish tint display that's horrible in sunlight?
No thanks.
SG3 has never been on my shopping list, and won't be.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not to mention the fact that it gets hot when idling... Maybe it would be nice in the cold winter months ahead
After owning an iPhone for 4 years straight, I vowed to never purchase a phone with a physical home button again, and I will stick to it! Samsung dropped the ball with build quality on the SIII, anyone who argues in favor of it over a HOX simply hasn't had enough time with both devices.
Just wanted to post a quick comment. Recently my mom picked up a gs3 via vzw for $49. So i finally got a chance to play with it after reading and hearing all the hype. As far as quality goes, u obviously know htc feels better, the gs3 has a very yellowish tint to the screen. Now before i get killed for beating a dead horse THIS really shocked me. For all the beating that sense takes, i think its light years better than touchwiz. It doesnt even feel like ics or jb. It feels so much heavier and bloated compared to sense its shocking. Going back and forth, going thru menus, etc, it is obvious that sense is a derivative of ics and even jb. It stays true to the color schemes and overall lightness of the ui. Imo people need to appreciate sense a little bit more bc touchwiz was awful.

HTC > Samsung, One X > SGSIII. I just turned one down. My brother wants to switch with me. LOL

I agree for sure. I think specs tend to dazzle people. The SGS III is a VERY nice phone, no doubt, and I'm sure an aosp Rom would be pretty gratifying. But the screen isn't as nice (pentile) as the one xl and sense ui is really hard to beat.
I'm really happy with this phone and don't regret the choice at all.
