Oh man brother! im trying to make that same descision !!! Im thinking .. hmm ceramic, quad core, +++... or huge ol' georgous phantasy beast of a phone
Im curious to hear what other brothers are sayin' as well

I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.

Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

U r right its clearly an android killing machine

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.

I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure

We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

No, its a TMO release...Honestly I'm very happy with my s3...Don't really question or regret it even if the 2 phones were out I'd still go with the S3 in the end I'd take expandable memory (sd card) over processing power any day...but that's just me I don't really use my phone for games more so music and media.

I'm happy with the Galaxy S3, even though the HTC One X+ will probably be packing a quad core. I don't think that there will be much of a difference in everyday use.

I for one can't wait for it to be released, Super LCD 2 running jelly bean plus quad core this ish is gonna be a true monster no question about it :beer:

Quadcore? No. The same version that at&t has we will get. I previewed the one x and the note. Took the note obviously. Stateside will not see a quad til s4 pro. The stateside s3 is revolutionary, 2gb of ram, expandable storage, removable battery......c'mon. There is no comparison.

Why Idc about the one x+?
Coming from the one S I find the gs3 screen better. It Sucks in daylight but it doesn't bother me. Another thing is battery. They one+ is reportedly rocking the same size battery as the one x. Higher clocked processor with more cores = terrible battery life. Another reason is HTC in general. Coming from the one S I still don't think they even have full s off because Htc hasn't released the source code (last time I check people still couldn't make custom kernels) whereas Samsung released the gs3 instantly. Last reason is the sense ui. It's wack compared to touchwiz Imo.
I make enough money to get a new phone monthly if I wanted to. I won't be buying another Htc branded phone for a while. Not until they get better at supporting the dev community. I'm even still in my 14 day return period and I won't be returning it. Now release a gs3+ with an s4+ pro (quad) and you win me over lol.

Quick google of it says it scores a 58.5 in nena mark. Now scores are only a measuring stick, but my stock GS3 gets 59.9, so its not like its betting blown away. Im more than content with my GS3.

Not entirely true. Tegra 3 processors have a 5th core clocked @512mhz that runs all the background stuff if the cores aren't needed...thus giving it a better battery life. And, the GPU made by NVidia is awesome. Our Adreno 225 is just no match...sorry to say guys....but if that one x+ does come out with Tegra 3 and JB right or off the box...looks like I'll be making the jump. I'll still keep my s3 tho...like I do with all my phones.

Hmmm,...Im not seeing much of a difference. In fact, the S2 Snapdragon wins at least as many as the Tegra 3. Granted, if its at 1.7 GHz, it will make a little difference.

Ehh, I prefer Samsung over HTC...so...not really. There's really no need for quad core phones. Some people don't even have Quad Core PCs. :/

I was an HTC loyalist before the Galaxy S3 came out and the One S wasn't gonna cut it for me so that's why I pulled the trigger on the Galaxy S3 but little did I know how much I would love this phone! Now I'm not gonna lie, when I found out about the One X+ I was mad, but if you think about it, the X+ will probably not have a removable battery nor a SD Card slot which are deal breakers for me. Sure Tegra 3+ will be amazing because I'm a gamer on the phones, but 2GB of RAM, Removable Battery and SD card slot is too hard to give up! I love my GS3

Love HTC and Sense, but, without the expandable memory and replaceable battery... Damn HTC, get it right. But, I do appreciate HTC giving us a proper One series phone. The One S was an insult to T-Mobile customers in my honest opinion.

I'm super happy with my SGS3. If you need high benchmark scores to make you feel like cool kat, then you should probably go with the HTC, however, WE all know that benchmark scores don't mean squat when compared to real world usage. That being said, those of us whom have already grown up are quite contempt with our Samsung phones. Believe me, I used to be a die hard HTC fan, always getting the latest and greatest of all their devices. Although one can only take so much before they just give up all hope and walk away feeling betrayed. After all of the random reboots, frozen screen, crashes, loading screens, glitches and disappointments, I decided that enough is enough HTC has let me down for the last time. I am now a born again Samsung lover, I feel sorry for ever straying in the first place, however, I am more than thankful that the SGS3 has brought me back to where I belong.... In the land where all is right

Screen is also way better... My gnex had a yellowish tinge to it that I eventually got used to, but i pulled it out today to play with it and it was hugely noticeable now that I've been staring at this beauty for a while.
Also, it took me a little while to get used to the size and shape, maybe a week or 2, but now I prefer it...
Physical home key is a different story, but that can be fixed with mods and roms

Well for the yellowish tint I use trinity kernels to fix the gnex and as for screen size I've had a note so if I can handle that I think I can handle anything under that
Glad to hear the radios are better. My gnex has never had a problem but my gf's gnex .....well let's just say we had to go through a few to get one that actually held a signal. Glad to hear battery life is better. Even with the 2100 mah extended on the gnex my batt life is still worse than anything I had before.

I came from gnex. The sgs3 is better then the gnex in every way. Screen is brighter an more natural colors. Signal, always have some bars. Battery life destorys the gnex IMO.
Only thing I miss from my gnex is the worry free feeling when flashing ROMs. There wasn't much to screw up on the nexus as opposed to the sgs3.

I'm rooted but still stock an this phone is perfect. One reason I'm hesitant to flash a custom rom is because all the stories I hear. Two, this phone is absolutely perfect Imo stock. Everything works perfect and I have no complaints. For this reason, I'm not sure I want to start flashing roms. I was addicted to flashing on my nexus lol. I always did it looking for faster performance an better battery life. Well I have that stock on this phone finally an hate to screw with it. It just works.

I came from a GalNex also, GS3 blows it out of the water. Everything about the phone screems "advanced". True its not as easy to flash custom roms but thats not what you buy a GS3 for-its not a developer device

Came from a GNEX as well, actually still have it in case I brick my S3
I will say I missed the GNEX initially but given the unlocked bootloader, it's hard to go back to the GNEX
Now I never had signal problems and I can't say I'm an advanced enough user to distinguish between the 2 screens, but I can say with absolute clarity the camera and battery life are significantly improved. Better (and probably more efficient) processor and 2GB of RAM to boot don't hurt either

This is my exact experience as well. Still own the GNex which I'd Jellybeaned. I was missing the JB on the S3 but not anymore.

The s3 is not difficult to flash roms... casual allows us to root,unlock, cwm recovery all from one program, then you flash rom of choice. It dont get no easier.

I came from the Gnex as well. I have to say, this phone is awesome. The battery life alone is worth the switch. I had the extended battery on my Gnex, I would get around and 5/6 hours of use. With the GS3 I get a full 10 sometimes 12 if I am on light use. And the screen is amazing, the Gnex screen was nice, but this is almost as good as the rentia displays. I highly recommend this phone.
Rocking T2 on the S3 (V)

i came from the gnex as well i kept it and put JB bugless beast on there.... its lets me know what i can look forward to when the s3 gets 4.1

Came from a gnex and iPhone 4s....

Well I'm keeping my gnex but going to either trade or sell the gf's gnex for an siii. You guys have me convinced and we were at the vzw store across the street today and I finally got to play with one.
To me the screen does seem a tiny bit nicer. Its so light compared to the gnex. Also seems much larger, but as I mentioned I have had a GNote so the size does not concern me.
Now I just need to find a good price on one or someone wanting to go back to a gnex.

How is the One X? From a SGS3 User

Hello One X users ,
Just wonderin what I might've missed out when I decided to get the SGS3. One X seemed pretty tempting at the time.
So how's development, the community and the phone itself?

The community is certainly more close than other forums like the GS3 and One S, One X Intl. etc.
Development is good unless you are on the latest AT&T 2.20 software, which a previous exploit used to root has been patched, so if you are on 2.20 you can't root yet.
Phone itself is awesome, awesome camera, stock software etc. IMO, the GS3 touchwiz is foul, Sense 4.0 is much more elegant.

Development is solid. It's a good community and the amount of updates and roms isn't overwhelming, yet you can find decent improvements every week.
In terms of the phone, the One X takes the cake with it's screen alone. The Super LCD is superior to the SGS3's pentile AMOLED. It actually rivals iPhone's retina display, despite the larger size.
I think what made me decide between the two was when I tried out Flipboard on both phones. The One X was sharper, smoother and faster. The SGS3 seemed fast when using Touchwiz, but Flipboard was jittery and blurry.
But of course, everyone has different tastes. I do miss the removable battery and expandable memory, and extra RAM would be nice.

I'm still blown away by the screen mostly

The screen and the fact it's not made out of so cheap plastic like the Samsung. It is still plastic but being made out of a solid one piece makes it seem more solid and a little heavier too which is great.

I bought mine for the awesome screen. It's very smooth and lag-free. Only downsides (for me) compared to siii are lack of sdcard slot and powered otg.

Lol, not a troll thread. I'm serious. And yes, the screen probably is far superior to the AMOLED on the S3. I had an iPhone and the S3's screen can't even compare. I gotta go play with the One X soon lol.
Speaking of which, how's rooting for Canadian Carriers?

Coming from a few Samsung devices I miss having a screen that doesn't scratch spontaneously, the microSD slot, USB OTG, TouchWiz codec support, and task650 (super smooth, stable, complete AOKP).
The screen is nice, the camera is great. Sense 4 is growing on me. Still too much change for the sake of change for my taste, but light years ahead of sense 3.x, and something you have to get used to if you want the best battery life and camera.

I personally have had nothing less than absolute misery with LG cell phones I steer clear. I'm sure the Nexus is a good product [but no external SD?? C'mon.]
Samsung makes the best Android cell phones in my opinion. Skyrocket

Skyrocket all the way. Every Samsung phone I've owned has been awesome. Can't say the same with the two LG's I once had. You should also consider looking at the development sections for each to see what roms, kernels, tweaks, etc are available. Skyrocket development is awesome. Many many choices.

I usually stick to everything Samsung (my SSD, phones, ram, fridge etc...)
If you're going to decide between Skyrocket and GNEX then here is the run down:
Both phones are dual core, Skyrocket being clocked higher and slightly faster than the GNEX at stock.
Both phones have 1GB or ram
Skyrocket you can put a memory card in, GNEX does not.
Skyrocket has LTE, GNEX (not the verizon version) does not (if that matters).
Skyrocket is 480x800, GNEX is 720x1280 so visually the GNEX will look a tad better based on pixel density and real estate.
So when it comes down to it its more like a side grade.
Skyrocket missing the HD resolution while the GNEX is missing LTE and expansion slot. So pretty much its all on preference and uses. But the biggest thing is probably the community and development. No doubt the GNEX has a large community and when there is an OS update it comes straight from Google on the day of or a little later when its announced. With the Skyrocket you may be lucky to get the update officially but will get it on AOSP and there is dedicated awesome devs here :good:
I personally have both the Skyrocket and the Nexus 4 and with the recent JB leak the Skyrocket is pretty quick and snappy. The Nexus 4 though is on another ball game but it is indeed fast, super snappy and has good development. Only thing I do miss is LTE, another thing is the OS isnt optimized so much on the Nexus 4 yet that battery hasnt been that great for most people. I get an average of 15hr~ and 3-4hr screen time. My Skyrocket has seen some better days but it is on LTE and that one was giving me 30/30mbps here while my N4 is stuck with HSPA 8/1mbps so that could be a factor when choosing speeds and whatever uses. I also miss the AMOLED blacks but the IPS on the N4 is pretty nice, some people who went from S3s to N4 were complaining that it looked washed out but it looks fine to me.
So pretty much between the S2, GNEX and N4 you lose the same things on the GNEX/N4 (LTE, expansion slot) you gain a larger screen resolution and early OTA updates from google. :good:
