Which will you go for now that the SGSII has made an appearance? Will the lack of the exynos processor efect your decision? Both are 1.5 Dual Core processors and are going to be release Oct. 26th. Sense vs. TWiz.
Galaxy s2 is gonna be better because Samsung optimize there phones much better that HTC an better screen

i'm leaning towards the ruby. i have the sgs4g right now, and even though the amoled screen is cool, i just don't watch enough videos on it due to my tablet. plus i don't like the fact that amoled screens are so dim vs. slcd. ya you don't have true blacks but the brightness factor is big issue for me. plus htc products are much more customizable. i still have my old hd2 running a port of sensations gingerbread w/ sense. if the ruby is going to be an upgraded version of the sensation there is no question. plus touchwhiz is soooo overdue for a make over. it is very bland. and though there are options to uses other launchers from market, why would i want to bother when the stock htc sense is awesome as it is. plus from what i read its supposed to have sense 3.5.
my only gripe will probably come to battery life. obviously the samsung screen is more efficient and htc has had some issues with their phones having shorter battery life prolly due to screen. i have chargers everywhere i go, but it'd be nice if the ruby had an upgraded battery that gives you a bit better phone life.
the hercules sgs2!
I'm going to buy the Ruby/amaze (whatever it called) its way better than Samsung, HTC sense and all its features, much more pretty, simpler very good screen, gr8 cam awesome device, I'm stool using my hd2 and its better than the sgs1.
I'm sure that more pepole will say that sgs2 Hercules. Is better but its on Samsung forum...
How is the hd2 ? I gave up in it a month after I bought it never realizing what xda,rooting and flashing were. All I could tell was the windows market kind of sucked.thanks

Is the galaxy s II 1.2 or 1.5 dual core processor? The Amaze is supposed to be 1.5, but I see some sites say 1.2 and other say 1.5 for the galaxy S II. I would go for the amaze in the case if it is 1.2
Well I am sure you have Heard of the launch of the HTC one X and Samsung Galaxy SII a couple of days ago but which is better?
Need some good research
One X is sexy period and the S3 isn't.

I like both phones, and both have their ups and down.
I like both companies new iterations of their proprietary skins, Sense 4.0 looks great and TouchWiz (5?) has a bunch of new helpful features (and I like old ones such as swipe a name to call/message). The One X definately wins in the looks department but I don't think the SGS III is as ugly as most make it out to be. However I hear the battery life isn't so great on the One X, and a portion of the screen is wasted for an onscreen menu button due to HTC basing it on the layout Google set out (which is stupid I think, there's no reason to have a seperate multitasking button when holding down Home for 1-2 seconds works perfectly fine.)
All in all I think the SGS III offers more benefits to the user, even if HTC does win in certain areas (better looking, better camera, more refined interface). If I were actually buying one of the two I'd like to try them out side by side before making a final decision, but at this stage I'm going to say Galaxy S III.
S3 cuz of us storage mode and lte

I think htc is better software and design wise but the s3 might have better battery life and camera also samsung tends to have phone really lightweight but it just depends what you prefer : sense or touchwiz?

After using the sensation for about a month I had to get rid of it because of sense. I seriously do not like sense.. It really annoys me for some reason. I know that you'd probably be able to root it and custom rom the One X but to be honest i would much rather just go with the s3.
I would say the S3. I like every spec that it have. Im not going to say that the X One is a bad phone because it isn't, its a great great phone, but i just like Samsung more.

I like how Samsung is focusing on Software, why make a super pocket computer if you dont have good apps to exploit that power?
S-voice is something that should have been present on Android earlier...
The good thing is that is very probable to see all that software ported to other devices
I'm still very happy with my HTC Sensation XL, but if I would buy a new phone now it would definatly be the One X.
I was really looking forward to the Galaxy S III, but the plastic keeps me away again.
I think the design is just too bad and I've always loved the HTC devices so it wouldn't be a though choice for me.

+1 my exact same thought. except i would never get caught holding a samsung phone.
Hello guys.
This is something I'm wondering about as I'm planning to buy a new device soon. I love HTC's build quality and the Legend was the best looking phone I've ever owned.
On the other hand, I'm currently using a Galaxy S i9000 which I absolutely hated out of the box but fell in love with once I discovered the great work by developers on this site.
Development for i9000 and Samsung in general is very active here. Could an HTC owner please tell me how it is on the other side of the fence? My decision will eventually come down to the availability of custom ROMS from XDA.

hi
till recently and even now i have one HTC phone which is being used by my wife(very low end one) I can give it to u guaranteed their will be great development for any HTC phone u buy in fact to my knowledge XDA was and still is Famous for HTC development support . so cool man go buy any HTC phone ull have fun here
Another S3 vote here.
The only thing the HOX has over the S3 is the screen, and that's debatable depending on whether you prefer LCD or AMOLED and their accompanying traits.
Both great phones, but the S3 wins on processor/GPU grunt and software innovation.
The slight camera advantage that the HOX had has been demolished by Samsung copying it's main features and bettering them (burst mode, best shot, voice activated capture) - and Samsung cameras have always been pretty good hardware-wise anyway.
SD card support, removable battery, probably better battery life (than the Tegra 3 HOX), the list goes on - and that's even before you get into the software side of things which I won't bother with as I assume you have/are capable of looking all that up.

2nd times 10. Samsung phones feel so dang cheap you forget about what a good phone should feel like. I hated my GSII and went to the HTC One S and it is just night and day for me. I get signal in places I didn't before. The slim form factor and the build quality and just so superior. Never say never but I doubt I will be grabbing another Samsung. (Vibrant owner and GSII)
Obviously there is no perfect phone as I am not a fan of where they put the volume buttons and how large they are in contrast to the wake\sleep button but overall outstanding device. My good friend keep on about his One X and I see why. Sense has some really nice things about it. Twiz is the devil. Add to that Samsung's update issue and industry worse no looking back to support devices and that is enough for me. I am not saying they are wrong it just doesn't work for me going forward.
I really like the design & build quality of HTC One X.. Both are polycarbonate plastic but HTC did the right thing! But SGS III beats One X in almost every single category.. So SGS III for me.. I don't care about the design anyway since i will use casing.. lol

hope it will improve this fin yr
Greetings,
I'm looking for new phone. I have Galaxy Ace at the moment.
Was looking between SGS2 and HTC One S.
One S is way better on papers but all the about it say "don't go for it"
Chipping, home screen button problems, etc
And SGS2 is now almost 2y old phone.
And what about One S battery? What if my phone freeze? I can't remove battery so what then? That sound stupid.
Now I really don'k know which one to buy?
Many thanks!
S2 is far better in overall and has good android development for it I say go for it or u can try xperia s
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk
Is it that better then SGS2?
I don't need 12MP camera or more then 8Gb on my phone. So both looks great to me.
Didn't research much about Xepria S so don't know much about Xperia S flaws.
EDIT:
And i'm not sure about battery life on xperia s
EDIT2:
I'm more into better screen, performance and battery life ;D
As you said the S2 is old by now while the One S is brand new. It has a very snappy dual core processor and nice screen. And the build quality is above the S2. I had the S2 and am now rocking the One X and I have to say the build quality is years away in the HTC. And the one S has the same uni body polycarbonate build as the X has.
Plus you get software Beats audio enhancements and Sense 4 UI which I think it's better looking than Touchwiz.
Your call.

Thanks for the replay!
Now its 1:1 = SGS2 / One S
And Ill be on my way to get new phone in about 2h from now
nevrozel what about HTC when it freeze? Battery is not removable
My sister went from an SGS2 to the One S. Screen is better as higher ppi, despite being a pentile its not that bad, better camera, sense is better than touchwiz, better sound quality via headphones. Its fast and has good battery life too. Looks nice and feels solid in the hand. Both are good but it opt for the One S as its newer and more likely to be supported longer by HTC.

Moving to Q&A
galaxy s2 is 1 year old, not 2.
but go for the one s, it's much faster device, higher resolution (still amoled), and ics on non-s3 devices isn't that great i heard... still the same touchwiz 4 feel (not even widgets in app drawer!).
in terms of touchwiz 4.0 vs sense 4, sense wins.
and im guessing htc has probably implemented some kind of emergency off feature such as the iphone, where it'll turn off the phone no matter what kind of state it's in. ask around on the one forums if there's such a feature.
One s is better than s2 but it has non user replaceble battery and can break if fallen frm a hieght !!!!

I second that, S4 (Krait, SoC in One S) is absolute killer.
P.S.:I'm wondering what he bought.
We might not known for a while as he is busy killing his new HTC. Hehe....

Sorry for the long time it took me to reply.
In the end I have bought Galaxy S2.
The price for SGS2 in the end was 200€ and for One S 470€ so no hard choice in the end.
At first both had same price, but 2 days before I went to shop SGS2 got new price. Yay
But had some problems first SGS2 i got was I9100G so took me like 7 days till I got normal version.
Hi, I'm now using iPhone 4 and i looked over android, i cant see now how i used iOS!?
now i looked for the best phone for me, and i chose gNexus, i liked the clear android over Sense and much over touchwiz! , i tried to get one and it didn't worked out (i want to buy my next phone in USA, i live in Israel and in USA its much(!) cheaper!)
so my sis going to NY in the next month, and that is my opportunity to get new phone. but then i realized the nexus has poor hardware, and im not sure is gonna last 2 years as main phone !
I'm considering the S3 which is beast in hardware , but going to be beast so its not going to be unique and that something i really want after iphone 4! another thing is that its not nexus, and the updates will come late! pros are battery , quad core , giant screen , 50g at dropbox)
another phone I'm thinking of is the One X, This phone is awesome!! its beautiful! Sense is beautiful!, its also a beast in hardware! but that's the end,
i heard that the battery is poor, its still heavy because the sense 4, the video frame rate is poor, and i even heard on poor performance on NOVA . so it turned me off..
im sorry for the long thread, but my next phone, and my first android phone is very important for me, its going to be my phone for the next 2 years.
Thank you very much XDA (BTW , i searched allot about every phone, but what i need here is personal experience , something that not always objective).
I would recommend checking out HTC. They have very productive, useful devices.

looks lame !
its look old and weak !
another suggestions?
So right now there's 3 phones you have your eyes on, but still open to suggestions.
I would suggest the Galaxy S III if you are looking for a phone for two years.
Galaxy Nexus is a very wonderful phone. Best selling point would be that its fast to get updates, but hardware is already dated since its been released over half a year ago.
HTC One X is beautiful, but that's all. Its beautiful, but doesn't really have any other features that would put it above the Galaxy S III. I see the One X as a device that's an improvement over the Galaxy Nexus in terms of speed and power, but nothing spectacular.
Galaxy S III on the other hand is comparable to the One X in terms of speed and most likely surpassing it in that field too. Beyond that, there are many other features that are equal to the One X and has quite a few features that the One X does not have.
I vote for the S III mainly because it offers more in terms of hardware and software.
I think Samsung Galaxy SIII or Nexus. Or wait for HTC One XXL.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Varience,
thanks for your helpful comment! you summarized the subject pretty good , i think i choose the SIII over the others, because he is the combination between good hardware and allot of Roms (im sure he will get allot of roms).
to ServeTT the HTC One XXL sound really good on paper !!! (but so do the one x)
when will he come out ?
the phone i really want, is the next nexus, all the benefits of the current awesome nexus plus hardware that last 2 years and not one thats already is old
I am quite against buying HTC devices. They don't support our development community and sense is hideous and slow. The only thing I like is their build quality ..
I would get a Samsung galaxy s3, touchwiz 5 jellybean and ics actually looks pretty good!. There buold quality is better for the s3, Plus Sammy supports our development
But over all I love the galaxy nexus phones the best cause they look so good and are pure . But maybe wait for the new nexus to come out, it will be the best phone in hardware and software. And will get all updates.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
HTC One X - OUT - by reading, its beautiful and thats it, its close, and not as good as others..
S3 or the next Nexus , That is the question!
When the next nexus predicted to be released ?
if more than month (that is almost sure thing),
i think it will be the S3, its the strongest hardware, and its development community have to be great!, thanks you all !
which is the best of these two?
They are both about the same. Both brands are of great quality. I actually prefer Samsung over HTC because I think, that HTC hardware(CPU, GPU) is not as good as it should be.
vote for S3, smartest, fastest, friendly
Well I think I will go with Samsung Galaxy S3
SGS3 Hardware is superior to the Tegra 3 inside the One X but the One X "feels" better imo, just should try both of em.
-Lychee
Sgs3 by far.
sure sgs3. but take a look on new Sony models - their design & materials are great - maybe you can give them a chance?
by giving this title to this thread u are about to start a war here on xda..:highfive:
OnTopic go for GS3! :silly:
I think the Htc one X is better than the Sgs3 because i like the design of the Htc and I prefer Sense than Touchwizz

Also remember that the HTC One X isn't exactly the same as the HTC Evo 4G LTE... The Evo 4G LTE is even more similar to the Galaxy S3... But this decision is my current dilemma too. Sounds like both can have great radios for clear reception and there are also a few defective ones out there. The radio is one of my personal concerns because Samsung has had some issues with them in the past but from what I'm hearing they're improved the radio a lot on the S3. Let us know what you decide!

HTC One X
Offering you lightning-fast web browsing, remarkable picture quality and seamless gaming visuals due to the powerful quad-core processor. You’ll love the minimalist design and the camera that captures every moment (even in low light) with crisp, vivid, beautiful photos. It also lets you take a photo while shooting HD video.
Samsung Galaxy S3
Gorgeous 4.8″ Super AMOLED touchscreen, new voice features, faster processor, good call battery life, Android 4.0 ICS, new camera tricks and nifty new software.
Although heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S II due to a clear 306PPI 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen, it’s still thin and looks better than an iPhone 4S retina screen.The S Voice wake-up feature is secure and most voice functions work very well.
For me,I like S3 more.

You can't get Sense on GS3, and usually can't get Touchwiz on anything but GS3.
The One X is the phone that may not tick all the spec boxes, but there is a certain quality to it that the GS3 lacks. The GS3 does everything, but at the end of the day, it isn't as exciting as an HTC phone might be.
Both are about the same when they are perfect units, but the GS3 may have some things that you must need. If you need removable battery or microSD, then Samsung has already won the battle.
