Default At&t hox or international hox?

Im buying one of these bad boys or girls. The At&t one off contract or the international one. I played with the hox at my local at&t store and it was buttery smooth. Didnt wow me a whole lot but nowadays the next android device is only a tad better than the next...etc. My main concern is performance and the 32gb space that the international one has. Im worried with the at&t 16gb will run out fast on me. This from my 16gb microsd card days. So which one should I get guys?

Comes down to what is more important to you...LTE or storage space. If it's LTE, get the AT&T version...if it's storage, get the international version.

Personally, warranty is important. If you can get an international with warranty and not in a LTE area, go for it.

I am in Dallas so I will get the AT&T one for warranty comfort and LTE speeds

Lol, it should be a no brainer then. In what mostly do you use your space on?
I used to use most of my space on music, but not anymore thanks to google play.
Current Device(s): White Galaxy Nexus & At&t One X .

I would take the quad core version. It should be much smoother and faster everywhere. No LTE also means better battery life.

This question has been asked and answered a million times on here... You should take a look.

But here you go.
AT&T HOX= LTE and longer battery life
International HOX= 32gb and if you're an avid phone gamer tegrazone may interest you.

And warranty stuff comes into play too.

Everything else comes to what your decision is.

And let me add the S4 has a faster CPU but inferior GPU. The difference is so minute though you probably won't notice.

Also keep in mind you get 25GB of free Dropbox space. I know it's not a direct replacement for internal storage, but it's something to keep in mind if 16GB seems a little too small.

Thanks! I needed a good laugh tonight! For the first time, I am glad AT&T is getting the dumbed down dual core version.

I dont care much for lte atm. And I'm tempted to get the int. hox but all those issues I've read about it really have me on hold. Nothing like bringing your device back to an at&t store compared with shipping it back to wherever you purchased your international version for a replacement etc. I just wish the int. hox didnt have all those issues like the screen especially
