Interesting. Mind you I thought the camera was one of the weakest parts of the GS3.
Really? Everyone praises that thing

GSMArena, Anandtech, and SweDroid are the three sites that do comprehensive standardized testing. The SGS3's camera was generally perceived better than the One X's. The biggest issue with the One X's camera was noise. Pics looked fine on the device but when you looked at them enlarged on a PC they were pretty grainy. Here's what GSMArena said about the two cameras. And looking ahead it’s completely meaningless as HTC’s introduced a totally new tri-senor camera while Samsung will most likely use Sony’s brand new 13MP Exmor RS sensor.
Photo quality comparison
We have the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X in our Photo comparison tool. The tool's page will give you the full details and it's where you can make the most comprehensive observations on the cameras involved in this shootout.
The Galaxy S III uses its resolution advantage to easily outdo the HTC One X in the first two charts. The two are much more evenly matched on the last studio challenge, but the S III shot has far less noise there.

Comparing how a device fares when it’s dropped is kind of useless. It all depends on how it lands. Neither the One X or SGS3 seemed to immolate when dropped so they're about even.
The One X had issues; a poll in their forum had 1/3 of owners reporting one or more problems. The DNA/Butterfly has fared much better with only a handful of build or QC issues being reported. So hopefully the One takes after the DNA/Butterfly. It's way too early to say how the One will compare to older phones and especially to phones that aren't in people's hands yet. Comparing the One to a SGS3 is kind of dumb. Who would buy an SGS3 over either the XZ, One, or SGS4? And the design, specs, and functionality of the SGS4 are completely unknown (aside from rumors) so comparing something that's defined to something that isn't won't get anyone far.
The 2012 One's were great phones and were reviewed well (critical success) but no one bought them and 2012 was HTC's worst year in a string of yearly declines (commercial failure). On paper, the One's a fantastic device. The real test of its success (and HTC's future existence) is how well it sells in the face of stiff competition from Samsung, Sony, LG, and eventually Motorola.
One of the main reasons that Samsung & Apple sell their products is their huge marketing spends. It seems to me part of the issue with HTC is that it just cannot compete in this area.
HTC's market capitalization (the value of the company) is $8B USD. Samsung spent $12B USD in global marketing and promotion in 2012. They also spend a similar amount for R&D. HTC’s got a tough road to hoe.

Yep! Agree. Samsung is spending ever more than iphone in case of marketing. Here in India you can lot of adverting on TV and many more places. HTC lack in marketing. People need to know the devices before they get in store. I know some stores in India where till this date they dont have HTC One X+ on display.
I would love to say I would get one, BUT the possibility of S-OFF??? and the last 2 HTC's Ive had, had to go back for repair, the One X and the desire, not good
My LG o2x was good but lacked in updates and to this day my GS3 if a fine phone.
Soo........... I think im gonna say no this time
Also has the one x even achieved S-Off yet???????

I'd say this is far likelier to get S-OFF every HTC phone which has had a qualcomm processor has had S-OFF. The sensation, One XL, One S, Evo LTE. Seen as this uses a snapdragon processor I have high hopes
HTC was wrong too with the failure to update our sensation of jelly beans
I have to agree with this. Before I bought this phone I had a Galaxy S2. The Galaxy S2 was amazing but unfortunately due to a hardware issue it got broken. Then I bought HTC because I wanted to try another brand. HTC's quality of the smartphone is great as well as their HTC Sense, but I feel more comfortable with the Galaxy S2.
