HTC One X vs. GS III USA version

---

Sorry, I know there are already a LOT of these threads.
But none in ATT or vs. the USA version.

I've got a One X and an SIII here in front of me.

One X:
-love the screen!
-love the looks!
-hate no battery remove or micro SD card.
-hate the volume & power button layout.
-hate the micro USB receptical layout.

SIII:
-not crazy about the looks but it's warming up on me.

Anyways, the SIII WINS even though I only just got it.
Why?

Because I threw my torture test at it and it beat the pants off the One-X and it's all because of the 2GB of RAM!!!!

PORN WARNING --- NSFW!!!!
This thread I linked below has tons of mixed GIF's like motorcycles, porn, stupid animal tricks, etc.
And no phone (Skyrocket or HTC One X) could handle it without any studdering. Till the SIII.

edit: removed link - sometimes forget this is an all-ages forum.
Basically, it was a VERY graphics intensive website and only the SIII has been able to handle it so far.
One-X vs. Skyrocket was pretty even though.

Clicked the link and so much porn...

Yeah this one x sucks big time, the skyrocket is 10 times better

I sold my HTC one X for the S III. it better be worth it!

The HTC One has a much better feel. I do not like the Pebble blue back. it is just glossed and a finger print magnet.

Thank God I have the carbon fiber skin coming tomorrow.

The OneX feels like a nicer build quality phone.

The SIII was a fingerprint magnet x1000 vs. the OneX.
Then I added the $5 xtremeguard plastic film protection. It made a huge difference! No more fingerprints and you still get all the glossy/shiny metallic blue color. Really good looking. And quite a bit more "grippy" now.

I'd spend a few extra $$$ and get something better than the xtremeguard though. The fit wasn't all that awesome. But for $5-$7 it's a great deal.

Still can't get over how much better the SIII is at handling all the graphics.
To give you an idea, the SIII was seeing almost 900MB of used RAM with just half a page of those GIF's.
That's more RAM than the OneX has all-together.
I'll never go back to a 1GB phone again.
Can't wait for the Galaxy SIV with quad core and 2-4GB RAM next year.

i dunno i always thought the one x was ugly.

Do people even know what RAM actually does?

I don't think so after reading many posts re: RAM

I have both and will be keeping the One X and sending the S3 back to AT&T..

The S3 is a very, very nice device and you can't really go wrong with it but for me the One X is the better device..

I have always been a Samsung Galaxy series lover.. I have had them all the OG Galaxy, a Skyrocket, a Note, a Galaxy tab 10.1 and now the S3 for 2 days...

My reasons for keeping the One X over the S3?

-- Screen ( absolutely no comparison in my eyes.. It's night and day )
-- Look and feel ( night and day again in my eyes )
-- Sense over TW ( I NEVER EVER thought I would say that! )
-- Software & OS updates ( We all know Samsung is HORRIBLE with updates.. The Skyrocket still has NO ICS )
-- Hate the center button on the S3

Those are the main reasons.. IMHO Samsung packed to many gimmicks into the S3.. S Voice is horrid, the pop up video is really not usable as it's TINY.. I view the S3 as a beta test for some of these new features and hope they mature over time and become usable with later updates or perhaps in the S4...

Either way, both are great devices and enjoy whichever you choose... We all have different wants, needs and looks are subjective so to each their own..
