Designed from a pebble WTF Does the owner of Samsung got a collection of pet rocks That phone is freakin UGLY, I hope they enjoy their pebble phone while my super smooth HOX looks AMAZING and runs AMAZING! No defects so don't come in here and start that sh^t like you are talking in your thread on ur forum, those were early batches, they fixed that issue. Actually my ONE X is an early version SH23 defect free made in China, looks great.

They got a thread over there at there rock nest about 100 pages comparing the S3 and One X.

It's been 10 day with my first android mobile gotta say its blown me away, my 4s is packed away eBay soon. Didn't choose the s3 because all Samsung phones feel way to cheap and doesn't look as good as the X. So what if the s3 has better benchmarks its not like the X isnt a beast

Quoted for truth.

Been using the One X and SIII parallel for a week now. There is no way the SIII can match One X's screen, camera and design.

But apart of that, the SIII takes it all. From the extendable memory over the heat problem while gaming and especially in battery life. That even on stock battery and I'll get an extended one soon. Did I mention, there is no locked or halfassed unlockable bootloader?

After a week of using both, if I had to stick with only one of them, I'd go with the SIII for sure.

i neither love nor hate the design of galaxy s3 its okey dokey. Samsung is very good for hardware but they sucks when it comes to software. So this time i got HTC One x (my first htc phone). Previously i had a smasung device (samsung wave - its a bada pone) and what the hell i have to wait for whole year for official upgrade Thats kinda sucks.

You know what I am gettin sick and tired of these threads. Search first. So many threads exactly as this that has been shut down. You could get your answers there. Try the main general thread to. Many people are talking about the phone. From now on if I see threads like yours will be reporting. Pointless. Make your own judgement or watch on YouTube comparison videos.

I'm a HTC fanboy arguably, however I disagree and agree with you. Here's my thoughts on the GSIII versus HOX:

Software: Sense 4.0 is certainly better than TouchWiz and there really is no arguing about it. It's things like the ability to set Scene's and Theme's and get a real personalization of your phone. On the other hand TouchWiz feels snappier, but it's starting to feel dates. It's extremely lightweight and barebones and the killer for me is that it doesn't offer much more functionality than Vanilla ICS, therefore why bother. The Keyboard and Messaging application on the One X is much more useable and better looking than the GSIII and the Mail application is bliss compares to the GSIII too.

Design: The GSIII design is really dates in the respect that you could erase all branding of 'Samsung' from the GSI AND GSIII, but if you put then alongside you would still be able to guess one was the others successor. With the One X and Sensation, there's not much that looks the same. The buttons have changed, the Camera location etc, which brings me to a flaming. Who the hell at HTC was allowed go design a raised camera lens? Put the thing down on a table and it scratches SO easy!

Camera: I don't think there's much in here for either of them, both phones use 8 MP sensors and I must say myself, I'm not really into camera's. If anything I'm slightly disappointed that both companies failed to improve either camera. The One X uses an 8 MP like the Sensation (despite being a different camera) and the GSIII uses the exact same Camera as the GSII, which in my experience wasn't actually that good. When it comes to the camera at least HTC have made a slight improvement by bumping the camera to 1.3 MP, however for some reason Samsung downgraded theirs, the GSII used a 2.0 MP sensor where as the GSIII uses a 1.x MP sensor.

The whole 'designed by nature' thing just goes right over me. I'm sorry but it looks like a bus run over a clay mould of a GSII and the GSIII is the stretched & curved result. The hardware buttons (as in the Menu button specifically and Hone) are well out of date in the respect that the One X no longer uses a Menu button, however the GSIII has that physical Hone button and the Menu button, basically a 2011 phone design.

Overall I think the Samsung GSIII is an extremely over hyped phone. It is ugly, but then it's old looks. I think the only thing to shout about is the processor, which is arguable better than the HOX's, however where are you really going ti ever see that improved speed? This may seem biased, but it's just my personal opinion.
