HTC is superior to S4.. Google the lag problems the galaxy has
Nexus 5 for me... Can't deal with these contracts anymore

He's right contracts suck. I'm also waiting for the nexus 5, but if you're not a patient person get a dev or AOSP One. The SGS line died with the S4.

I like the Galaxy's for 2 reasons, black blacks, (very nice on aosp for everything to be black instead of gray), and the software features like the pausing and all of that. But I like sense. I would also like to have the next Google phone. Too many choices.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

We can't make the decision for you, only persuade you.. But the choice is yours, I don't like Samsung and I don't really like HTC. But I really hate contracts. I'd personally get a nexus. But that's me

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

you can buy the vanilla htc one from the play store without contracts, also htc sells an unlocked edition on his site. The nexus are way cheaper, though.

You better tell us which phone you end up choosing..... I'm actually waiting to see which one you'll get.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!

I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own

As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.

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.

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.

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...

[Q] HTC ONE S or Galaxy S2?

My girlfriend is due for an upgrade she is currently on T-Mobile.
Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on which is a better phone, the HTC One S or the Galaxy S2?
Not really comparable
The One S by a mile IMHO, simply because its so much more compact and efficient
A very nice posting from my brick
Still looking for other peoples thoughts on these 2 devices

I think its personal user opinion. I have only ever used HTC and Samsung devices so for me it's like comparing green apples to yellow apples. Find display models and play with them for a while, see what feels better, which one has what you need from a phone. My girlfriend and almost everyone I know has and loves the iPhone but i really cant stand them. So you/she has to decide for yourself/herself.

LMAO!! True! But she is still in contract....
it all depends if you like sense, but if you're asking based solely on the phones i would go with the one s since its htc flagship device now and its one day old. in addition the one s is likely to get updated while the gs2 has already been upgraded from gingerbread to ics
I think you should get the One X and she should get the One S...but don't take my word for it.
HTC all the way
HTC customer support is fantastic. They also have very good UI's. Hands down, you won't be disjointed.

I would choose HTC, customization is fantastic, so too there very many rom
prefer one s . specially its new . ICS pre installed. and also its finishing is great. with these tow phones i prefer one s without any risk . s2 is past . one x is future ..
HTC is more solid, massive. But HTC phones are more expensive than Samsung.
These are both different generations of devices, I don't think you can really compare them.
Having said that, I'd choose the One S.

[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.

How are the screens of the ons and s2 comparing?
I sold my s2 and waiting for something to buy now. I disliked the plastic from the s2 and the touchwizz interface. But maybe the s3 is gonna be better on those 2 points.
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.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

HTC one x vs GSM nexus

I know a lot of people here have a GSM nexus just because its a dev phone
I was wondering about trading my one x for a white galaxy nexus
I need a phone that can work in Pakistan
Also I love having the fastest and best of those two phones and the most options
I love the screen on my one x and just wondering how the screen on the nexus is
So for people who have both phones can you please tell me which of the two is better and why or the pros and cons of both

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.

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.

I know a lot of people here have a GSM nexus just because its a dev phone
I was wondering about trading my one x for a white galaxy nexus
I need a phone that can work in Pakistan
Also I love having the fastest and best of those two phones and the most options
I love the screen on my one x and just wondering how the screen on the nexus is
So for people who have both phones can you please tell me which of the two is better and why or the pros and cons of both

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.

You'd be crazy to even swap a nexus. OneX spanks that thing

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.

This.
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.

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.

And don't tell him to f*ck off, hes just telling you theres more information out there. You don't need to make another thread on a topic thats been discussed 10 thousand times in the past. Did you miss 18th.abn's post on how we should stop flaming and start showing some respect for one another? And people wonder why devs ditch xda for rootz...
One X
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.
