[Q] HTC One S, or Galaxy Nexus??

So I have an HTC One S, but I'm being offered a Galaxy Nexus for it. I've always wanted a Nexus but I also love my One S. I'm undecisive...
I got my HTC because as a Tmobile dealer, it only cost me 200 without contract.
The Nexus is the unlocked pentaband google employee version, with logos on the back plate and it's like new.
I know the One S has much better benchmarks than the Nexus, but the nexus has a larger screen and in my opinion looks nicer.
I can't make up my mind and would really appreciate feedback on what you guys might do in my position.

I personally will not buy a phone with a non-removable battery and no SD slot. I don't care how good the specs are, I will not support that kind of stupidity.

Same dilemma. Most likely getting the GNex though as its cheaper

One S! The S4 CPU is far superior to the GNex CPU. And the design is way sexier

HTC One S

Htc One S is best

The funny thing is, I posted this exact question in the One S forums and I was told to stay with the Nexus...benchmarks mean nothing in real world use and all this talk of a better CPU and GPU, what difference does it make when the Nexus shows not a single stutter in performance? In all actuality, the One S is a mid level handset that will always be in the shadow of the One X...I retract my offer.

Sorry for my English.
----
The owner of htc sensation and then One S, I can say that despite having characteristics similar to the processor level (snapdragon s3 vs snapdragon s4). The difference I feel.
At the end a matter of taste, but between one S and one X in my opinion the one S is a solution for those who seek the Pocket and best performance.
Logical that right now there are not abysmal differences between the nexus and one S

Sure thing, I'm kind of iffy on doing the trade just because I wouldn't have tmobile's mobile security in case I lose the phone, and also i'm so used to sense. Otherwise they seem pretty much the same. I love how simple and minimalistic the nexus is though.
Still undecided...

I really think that sums it up. The One S is top of the line and has a much better processor, but it's sense and no removable battery.
The Nexus has a higher resolution and a minimalistic design witch in my opinion makes look a lot sleeker than the One S.
It all comes down to personal preference. For now I'll stick with the one s just for personal reasons. Thanks everyone for your feedback. This thread is now free to be closed by a moderator.

I'd say find the two or three biggest features that matter most for you. For me it is the quality of the speaker and speakerphone and camera. Then compare the phone on those 3 features between the two phones and choose whichever comes out on top between those must have features.

Galaxy S III I747 vs AT&T HTC One X, Whats your opinion?

Ok, so i have had the AT&T Galaxy S3 for a couple weeks now and its not wowing me like i was expecting and been eyeballing the AT&T HTC One X and not sure on getting that next and selling the S3. So what are your opinions on whats a better device and why its the better device. And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it.

In a nutshell. The sgs 3 is the same processor as the one x. Performance will be about the same with multi tasking being better on the sgs 3. You give up an sd card slot and a removable battery in favor of a better screen and more of a solid feel.

You are also going to be giving up a phone that actually has released source code. I love my One-X, but i fear for its development future.

I hope you're right man. I think it's the superior phone. If we could only get something like CM9 working completely that would fix the multitasking, then i'd have no complaints.

I had the one x , sold it and bought an s3 (att/rogers dual core version)
Honestly and truly the one x is a better device in some ways. The battery life is much better on the one x due to the lcd screen using less power despite the two having the same processor. The screen is better too, the one x screen is a lot better and clearer even at lower brightness. Not to mention it just overall looks better (brighter and truer whites, colours also actually look natural unlike amoled). And you cant even deny the fact that the one x has a much much better build quality its a better and more solid feeling device.
Though the siii has an edge over the one x in some areas like sense vs touchwiz, i find that touchwiz almost never lags vs the one x still had hiccups in some areas slight homescreen lag etc etc which is almost non existant on the siii. Plus for me the major issue that drove me away from my one x is the multi tasking issue, basically the one x has the most aggressive app switcher that kills an app almost instantly after you exit it, the phone is near useless at multi tasking. iE if i was listening to music and went to change the song while browsing, when i came back to the browser the phone would have to "reload" the app.
With that said, the two phones are practically neck to neck, just depends what you prefer as strongpoints and what you can live with as weak points. I would sell my siii in a heartbeat if the stupid multi tasking issue was fixed on the one x.
just my " two cents."

Hmm i got lucky and got a good price for my one x, bought it for 500, sold it for 480 and bought the galaxy s iii for 500.

I prefer the screen and build quality of the One X but love that Samsung released source code so soon (most likely just to steal sells and pull users like myself)
Everything else has been said. They both have advantages and disadvantages. It's pick your poison.
Me, I chose to go where the source was. No sense waiting 90 to 142 (if there's an update) days and using workarounds to unlock the bootloader if someone else openly offers both.
I know, I'm a broken record since I got this phone. I'll try to post a little less lol. Just frustrated with HTC
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

The main reason i dont like my GS3 is because the build quality of it feels a bit cheap, like the back battery cover already has a crack in the top right corner. I also get a few kinks like my SD card randomly unmounts, i get lags here and there, a few FC's, and launcher restarts. Other than that the phone is solid...Just a couple things i would expect it to tackle but samsung kinda over looked.
On the other hand ive used HTC devices before and there build quality even back when i was using the G1 was great, they make it feel solid along with adding the perfect amount of weight to the phone. Ive never had a problem with an HTC phone, only with there batterys, thats why i was kinda leery on the One X not having a removable back so if the battery does screw up like it has in my G1, HD2 and MT4G i can just easily put a new one in. But overall i dont mind it having less ram and no SD port because i pay for my dropbox monthly to have extra space.

Its getting redundant with that same reply im getting. Like i stated in the OP "And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it." I much rather take to a forum where the main phone is the HOX where people that will actaully reply used the One X and maybe both One X and SGS3 and can give me solid reasoning why. I trust some ones word that has used the device longer then just some one who is just doing a review because they have too...

Thanks for your questions. After all it is the General HTC one X forum!
Rather than waste a post with a school girl reply, I will help answer your question.
I have had both and took back the SGIII. I like the One X better, mainly because the SGIII screen does not work as well outdoors and the whites are more greyish than the One X.
Hope that helps?

What's not "wowing you" about the SGS 3? This info might get you a better answer.

We seem to be losing more and more people everyday to the sgs3. Source better come soon or I think this phone will be doomed development wise.

Feelings and Suggestions about Using HTC One X

Today, i wonna talk about the feelings about using HTC One X within these three month. Do you guys agree with what i said below these views and Suggestions?
1.HTC One X faults One: poor cooling, heating control is poor.
In a game process, basically 10 minutes can feel HTC One X higher body heat, HTC One X heat dissipation is very poor, CPU heat control is poorer, ARM A9 architecture and four nuclear collocation is very mature. The worse when in the summer, HTC One X of this defect is more outstanding, if you are not in the official website the OTA upgrade or flash, you must endure this faults.
Solution: Suggestions on an official OTA upgrades, you should upgrade to version 1.29 will be improved.
2, HTC One X faults 2: electric consumption too fast, wait for electric time is short.
People who often use 3 g get to the Internet, and background to open some games, HTC One X may power spent only half a day. HTC One X power consumption quickly, stay electric time is short.
HTC One X power consumption problem solution: brush into based on official bag custom ROM, simplify part of the application, do not recommend using a third party theme or desktop starter, suggest to add the weida save electricity patch.
3.HTC One X faults 3: memory card is too small.
Because design reasons, HTC One X used Tegra 3 four nuclear processors, such collocation is some unreasonable. With a period of time you will find that HTC One X will be caton phenomenon, or three application above will also appear such circumstance.
HTC One X memory is too small problem temporarily no better solution.
4, HTC One X faults 4: Sense 4.0
This generation of Sense UI are no longer as fluent stable, because it takes a large amount of memory and the design of some complicated, changed the HTC to mobile phone users in the past operation experience
Sense 4.0 problems solution: through the flash brush into CM9 ROM or MIUI ROM or primary ROM, can substitute for good choice.
5.HTC One X faults five: some details.
HTC One X's camera is prominent, so that the permanent will appear surface wear condition. Video recording although is 1080 p, but is not smooth, at the same time for the volume recording worse. The lack of HDMI interface. These are the details of the defects, One X is a regret.
Do hope these my opinions can give you buddy some help!
How about you guys comment my summary for these shortcomings and suggestions, if you find any other inf about HTC One X, please give me the message.

Im pretty sure your in the wrong forum. This is the htc one xl, you mentioned the tegra 3 so you must have the international ver. But anyway:
1. Every phone gets hot.
2. Battery life has been fine for me, easily lasts a whole day with moderate use.
3. No expandable memory is a problem for many but for people like me, its not needed so if you get past that its all good.
4. Really? I think sense 4.0 is the best yet, most fluent and polished version IMO
5. Camera has been perfect for me but yeah it does protrude a bit.

My rogers one x gets hot as balls...which I don't think is healthy for the internal battery. But... at the time of purchase it was also 200$ cheaper than the S3.
Just in case you didn't know, the bastards over at Rogers think its okay to release firmware updates 6 years after everyone else. I'm willing to bet 10$ they hired a rabbit to do firmware update work

Even so, I encourage you to visit our lovely development section and avail yourself of our extensive collection of roms and kernels. We have a different phone here, but hey, what's the harm?

What would you buy?

So with taxes I'm looking to spend about $350 on a phone with no contact. I WAS thinking the nexus 4 but people on craigslist are retarded asking $500+ because people bought out the play store with the intentions of reselling and ripping people off. So other than that I was thinking of getting an s3 or a note 1, possibly a one x.
My questions are, which carrier version, and which one should I get. I want one that I could use on family mobile with better speeds, maybe simple mobile or something. I'm into rooting and roms and overall best specs out there. So which phone should I get in that price range, and which carrier version? Processor and ppi as well as camera is most important to me.

I honestly would go for a razr Maxx hd.... Or an s3. The hd doesn't have as much rom support but it will once the price drops. Plus my battery lasts all day with super heavy data usage!

Personally, the Note is a little on the large side for a phone, however, some people like it. Would suggest that you get some extended hands on time with it out before buying. S3 has good feedback except for the build materials (i.e. drop and chip) and is roughly the form factor that I would be comfortable with and there is quite a bit of ROM development for it. A friend uses a Note 1 and swears by it, connects it up as a laptop at home with keyboard, mouse and monitor (his portable office). Haven't had a chance to test out the OneX but what I have read on the forums are that it has good battery life, solid performance and since it is basically stock, updates are quick. Just got WP8 as a xmas gift, from an SGS2. Don't recommend it, until they fix some pretty fundamental missing features but the camera is by far the best I have seen so far.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Samsung phones. Have a GS2 skyrocket and it's an awesome phone. ROM support is strong, and definitely affordable on your budget.

i would buy the htc one x+. i really like the htc os. a few years ago i bought the htc desire hd and i've never regretted it. so why not switching to another phone by htc

HTC One X looks very cute. But I heard about screen problems. I am most interested in Nexus 4, however it's not available in my country, but I would recommend it. I love that Nexus 4 has stock Android.

HTC one xl owner here....absolutely no screen problems. Gorgeous screen, great ROMs with great devs, great camera and battery life and you will find some at a very nice price. Only downside is storage and no external SD slot.
Funny u mention screen problems as I've heard the nexus 4 has some.
This phone is really good, not cheaply build like the s3 and personally I feel its better (hence why I chose it over the s3)
Oh and BTW our phones are pretty much unbrickable, flashing ROMs is a breeze and rooting can be done with a downloadable script. And they do t suffer from gs3 problems which they seem to be having plenty of.

Well, at the time of release, that was the feeling wasn't it . A 18% (I think off hand) increase in screen with a 25% increase in battery. So yea, it is basically an S2. 0.2GHz more and most everything else is the same.

I think you should go with all new Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch HD Super Amoled touchscreen display that supports 1280x720 pixel resolution natively which runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Anyone going to be upset/possibly get rid of their M8 for the M8 Prime if its released soon?
I find it ridiculous HTC or Samsung for that matter would release a super flagship so close to the original release but thats just me... I hate money sometimes.

Sent from my HTCM8

Ugly, no reason for a raised camera bezel, probably still packing 4mp rear camera like the days of 2008 cell phones but with their patented super duper pixel marketing name, don't see any sd card slots. Why is this device being produced at all?????

Looks fine to me.
If it has at least 8MP with the duo setup, it would be worth an upgrade for those who dont already have an M8.

They set the bar very high with the M8 to a point where I don't see how they could improve on anything. The UltraPixel camera is way underrated, this is coming from someone that came from a 13 "MP" phone. If megapixels mean everything which it absolutely DOESN'T, then the Nokia has the best camera by far

I might get it.. and it's supposed to have a 18mp camera... Also HTC did this with the DNA and HTC one. So it's not a surprise

One of the reasons I chose the M8 over the Z2 or S5 was the screen size... It's the width of the phone that matters most and HTC's had the slimmest width of the bunch. Makes it easier for one handed operation.
5.5" is going too far into note territory which I tend to avoid. Perhaps this is the replacement for the Max?

If this is the M8 but beefed up to 5.5", 2K Full HD resolution, 3GB RAM 805 Snapdragon, even better camera, but also keeps the same gorgeous aluminum body and SD card...AND the same S-OFF exploit works on it...(or if one is found shortly after launch)
This M8 is going to Gazelle and I am using another end users upgrade at work to get it...lol.

I can guarantee the same soff exploit won't work.
But regardless I've debated doing the same. I have a CM11 toting GS3 to fall back on during the transition if need be. We'll see though...
I don't think people are fully grasping how the higher resolution will impede performance. Hell my PC monitor is only 1920x1200... To run games well at 2560x1440 as on 1920x1200 requires a BEASTLY setup... Otherwise frame rates get cut in half at best, depending on the game.
I'm worried about UI lag is all.

Yeah, I would assume there would need to be a fire water sequel for this phone. I could easily suffer my M8 until it's found.
I don't game on my phone..so I'm all for the monster specs as I'm sure Qualcomm and HTC have it under control.

Nor do I, but was trying to illustrate how much more power is needed to render at that resolution. I realize I could've worded things clearer.
Then again I was saying the same thing when 1080p displays started coming out. I was thinking battery life would be abhorrent and the UI would be choppy. Wasn't exactly the case aside from a few outliers.

I haven't heard anyone hear discuss it, but I truly believe this is simply the successor to the HTC One Max. As such, I think it's an awesome evolution of the One Max, and I will surely get one, but it's not going to get me to get rid of my M8, which I simply love. Great work HTC!

If this is out to compete with the note then I think it might be awesome. The camera hanging out won't matter since most will probably use a leather type pholio type case and bam the camera is flush. I do actually really like the grill covers being vertical, kinda has a nice retro look.
One thing though you can bet Red will have this thing locked down tighter than a Sammie. They are so gonna make up for weaksauce and firewater and the next few HTC releases. The Devs embarrassed the pants off them on the quick with the M8 and I bet HTC has played hell for it.

In my opinion, none of the big devices can compete with the Note unless they have similar pen capability. I use it constantly on my Note 3, and it is the differentiating factor - not just the big screen.

Well if it makes anyone feel any better, looks like it's cancelled for now.

Good...I'd hate to see a super flag ship released a few months after the flag ship launched. They should sell both versions at the same time and let the consumers decide which version they'd prefer
