finding it hard to use other phones with sub par displays - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

The HTC one x, may not be the fastest phone, or have the best battery. But after I browse the web with it, its hard to go from superlcd2 to any other display
Its like a joy to browse the net, whereas on my galaxy s3 (its faster) but its meh
Anyone feel the same?

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.

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.

They are big. I personally think its much higher quality than the Sensation.. (Just because its aluminum doesnt make it a better build quality) infact i think that about Samsung compared to HTC anyways.. Sammy makes strong light devices.
Even with a lower resolution the Amoled + screens are far superior to the LCD screen HTC uses and the Note has an HD version of the AMOLED + Makes me really want one.

Yeah, it's very good. It just simply, works. No waiting for this or that to come out for it or waiting for some dev to fix something that apple should have fixed long before releasing only to have that one dev go buy a completely different device and forget about you.
Android has better hardware but piss poor work ethic from the manufacturers.
Apple has much nicer looking products with lesser hardware, but they make damn sure that your never notice the lesser hardware. This iPad 2 is fast! I am typing this on the on screen keyboard. Something that was a pain in the butt on my dads toshiba thrive.
Android needs to finish what they start. I got tired of waiting for others to make my android devices what they were advertised to be. I got tired of having to devote most of my time learning how to do something on a forum that was supposed to work straight out of the box.
I love my sensation, but not all the drama that I have gone through to get it to where it is today. A lot of buttkissing devs and being *****ed at for eta asking has pushed me closer to apple. If it weren't for tmobile having me by the balls, I'd have an iPhone. People will say to go get what you want, but that is so dillusional. We wind up stuck with what we have and then have to deal with the issues. I was disgusted to see the sensations early problems needing fixing and then watch Htc come out with four clones of the sensation each new month rather than fix and finish what they started. Finish what you start!

Samoled is amazing, better than Sensation screen but also takes up that much more power. Sensation screen is also great not take away from that. 5.3" is a bit much dont you think? I had the vibrant it felt bigger than our Sensation with its 4.0" . Also I didn't really appreciate the plastic but it was/is really sturdy. I don't anyone had their phone break. I also have to say if the Note's glass is anything like the Vibrant's then you will be happy. That screen is almost impossible to scratch. You could literally take a key to it without a screen protector. Wish our sensation glass was like that. And lastly, touchwiz isn't bad at all. Give it a chance, with all the modded twiz launchers and alternatives its a fun device. Also theirs a sense look alike launcher I used for a couple days on my vibrant. So all in all it comes down to preference. But I have to say one thing, Samsung sucks at updating android versions. We got froyo 2 months after gb came out. And its not about to change either.

Agreed.
One thing I do notice however .... the phone seems to be the benchmark the other manufacturers shoot for or want to beat.
Then there's the guys who like to say they have a better option then the Sensation.
It would seem this phone set a new standard.
This is a phone... That is a phone... They do pretty much the same thing. Why make so much of an effort for a bigger better screen with a juvenile u.i. Atleast wait for something like a quad core and impressive games/apps exclusive for the quad. I swear i dont see anything that the sensation does which the desire hd couldnt. IMHO, these frequent minor updates dont make much sense and also ruin the fun after updating to a much more capable phone which is just better at everything.

[Q] Galaxy II vs. HTC One S

I haven't seen a lot of direct comparison between the two phones. Can someone who has used both of them give their input?
Barring that, can anyone give me a give to stick with Samsung? I have liked my SG I but I am able to upgrade now and want either the II or the HTC. The HTC is VERY, VERY tempting, but I worry that since it is new there may be issues. I am also worried about the fact that the battery is not removable. What do you do if (and when) the phone freezes?
So thoughts.... HTC or Galaxy S II?
There's a button con fig to reset.don't worry lol..

If you're on T-Mobile get the One S. I had the international Galaxy SII two days ago and now I have the One S. I love the One S so far and have found nothing wrong with it. The screen, though similar, looks much better on the One S. It feels faster as well, even if through benchmarks it might not be.
I was on Tmo-sgs2 before One S and you can't even compare the two. One S better screen. Better processor. Better build quality. So satisfied I think I'm going to go rub it on my naughty spots....sorry TMI.

Just came from a GSII and holding a One S versus holding the plasticky cheap-feeling Samsung is like night and day IMHO.
But if you have a huge library of music and don't feel comfortable with a built-in battery, the GSII is still a decent choice.

I would like to get the one s, but how is the pentile screen when compared to the s2 rgb? Is there difference in sharpness?

There is Sense though. Speedwise the sgs2 is nice but I miss sense
Lol...when the first no sense rom came out..I waved bye bye to sense...I liked the previous sense version.sense 4 I don't gel with. Touchwiz is crap mate...if I had the s2...cyanogenmod would be rocking her straight away. The more incarnations of android...the less I think sense or touchwiz will be needed.
As I said though...love sense just not 4.

I jumped from the SGS2 to the One S and the difference is night and day. But consideration has to be made that I was also on a SGS before the 2 and the TW made it feel like I just went to a bigger version of the SGS. Or more bloated version. So I think the jump to better made phone and to Sense was easier. The speed and fluidity of the One S is also so much faster. The ability to use the phone one handed is nice too. Resolution is nicer and screen seems a lot brighter...even putting them on the same brightness and doing a side by side comparison. Battery is also great on the One S. I'm not drinking the Koolaid or anything but really I am impressed with this device. IMHO One S wins hands down. But like I said my opinion.

I wouldn't make any decisions until Thursday has passed tbh.. See what Samsung's next phone is saying. If it is just a quad core variant of the Nexus & SGSII with a new shell then the One S has got to be the winner.

How is the One X? From a SGS3 User

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.

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.

Quick observation

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.

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.

After a month it started squeaking... not so compact and solid...
And that thinnes thing is def not an advantage.

I would change it for a black 32 GB htc one.
Aesthetics aside, S4 feels better in my hand than HTC One, also much better than IPhone 5.

As someone already said, "different strokes for different folks."
I understand people preferring the smooth edges of the S4. Me? I personally like the "sharp" edges of the One. Makes me feel as though I have a better grip.
People's hands vary massively. What's right for one is wrong for another.
I have to be honest though, I like many, really wish Samsung had tried a little harder to differentiate it from the S3. I felt I had to go for the One as HTC really do deserve a lot of credit (and my money) for putting so much effort into their device.
Still, I understand Samsung want people who know very little about phones to recognise the S4 immediately. Making it look like the S3 is the best way to achieve that goal.
I am surprised so many XDA folks went for the S4 mind. I suppose it's all about specs for a lot of people. That's why I plumped for the S2 a few years back.

I have bought phones. HTC one designed is much, much better, but with quality assembly issue.. I changed 2 one, and no 0 gap... Whatever, one is very different designs and more premium feeling
I really like the look and feel of the S4, nothing wrong with it and all this talk of plastic being cheap is nonsense imo the phone feels properly made and i have no issues with it and i prefer it to my htc one and I dont have to worry about the body being scratched, yes I have seen htc one videos but i still dont trust it. also i have no issues with weak screen on the s4.
I love my S4 but to put in other terms there is someone that mentioned the phone is easy to break well yes it is but if you take care of it correctly this would not be such a issue I have a Otterbox Defender series for all 3 of my S4s I have dropped my S4 3 times since I've had it, I dropped it onto concrete and have had no issues this by far is the lesson learned by many people dropping any phone is to buy a case. I am unsure about why the S4 is breaking in someones pocket I hold mine there all the time and had no issues but once again have a otterbox defender case on it maybe thats the saver unsure... I have never seen the HTC but then again already used my upgrade so guess have no need to
Bwahahahahaha,this thread is so funny !!!! I wanted to buy the S4 even if it was just an S3 with a real premium finish,I would have bought it.Plastic is definitly not premium,even it's more beautiful than the S3 build materials.10 millions S4 were sold over the world,but the question is:how many if it was aluminium?This number is just because of their marketing force.Look what HTC have done,they're not in the top 3,nor in the top 5 smartphone sellers rank anymore,but they wanted to make an outstanding comeback,and create this amazing phone,they listen to customers expectations,they sold 5 millions !!!! I'm not a pro HTC,nor Samsung,nor Apple,I love innovation,revolution and when you're ranked 1st or 2nd,you have to keep working hard to keep your crown.
