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

there are always customs roms available:good:
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.

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a new phone this week, and i'm torn between the Sensation XE and the Samsung Galaxy S2. I can get them both free on a £30 per month contract with 900 mins, 5000 texts and 1Gb of data. So i'll post this on both the Sensation (since there is no XE board) and the SGS2 board. Hopefully someone on here has an XE, if not anyone with the normal Sensation please give some info as to how you've found it, same goes for owners of the SGS2.
Here is how i see it at the moment.
Screen
Sensation XE - 4.3" qHD 960x540 S-LCD
SGS2 - 4.3" Super AMOLED+ 400x800
This is one of the things i'm confused about, i mean, clearly the AMOLED display will have better contrast and viewing angles, but i'm slightly concerned about the resolution being only 480x800. On my Omnia 7 the super amoled 480x800 on only a 4" display looks pixelated. Could someone let me know whether the SGS2 uses the Pentile matrix or full RGB set-up?
Processor
Sensation XE - 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcomm MSM8260
SGS2 - 1.2Ghz dual core Exynos
The XE has a higher clock speed but I'm worried that sense 3.0 will slow it down. And also the Exynos is probably better than the Qualcomm.
RAM
Sensation XE - 768Mb
SGS2 - 1Gb
Clearly the SGS2 is better here.
Internal storage
Sensation XE - 4Gb (1Gb user accessible)
SGS2 - 16Gb/32Gb
Expandable Memory
Sensation XE - Micro SD, up to 32Gb
SGS2 - Micro SD, up to 32Gb
Dimensions
Sensation XE - 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm 151g
SGS2 - 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49 mm 116g
Battery
Sensation XE - 1730Mah
SGS2 - 1650Mah
Camera
Sensation XE - 8MP, dual LED flash 2MP FF, 1080p video
SGS2 - 8MP, LED flash 0.3MP FF, 1080p video
So that's the specs, obviously in most categories the Sensation XE is the winner, but i would like to know what people who have actually used the phones think. There are some things other than the hardware which separate the two, such as Sense 3.0 on the XE, and Touchwiz on the SGS2. Not forgetting beats integration on the XE.
So that turned into a face off really, but still. What do you guys think? I'd love to here some suggestions as to which i should buy. I've had a Desire HD, rooted and S-Off'd obviously, and used sense 3.0 on that and it ran quite nicely, so a dual core processor should be even better. I'll stop now.
Look forwards to your responses guys Alex
Go for the sensation XE if you get them for free. I have sgs2 and I'm reallly satisfied. But HTC is newer, got good specs. I know you wont be unsatisfied with any of them. But if i was in your shoes then i would go for htc

In my opinion, the only thing better in the sensation is the build quality, the SGS2 is better in everything else, including the screen imo(+1 for full RGB setup)....
Also, the exynos SoC is better than all the crap qualcomm produces....
The sgs2 will be faster than the sensation, and the screen is great.
On rawr resolution the sensation may win, but the sgs2 has ammazing viewing angles, colour, contrast etc.
I would get the sgs2 over the sensation myself, but i don't like sense, so that's more of a personal thing.
In the end, hardware wise there both good, so it's a matter of software, goodness knows when htc will officially drag there phones to ics due to sense, i dont see samsung draging there heals so much, a lot of what was in touchwizz seems to have gone into ics.
Tl;dr both good, software I think is the deciding factor (I would vote sgs2 but that's because this is the sgs2 forum)

Yeah i got the Camera specs the wrong way around In benchmarks the SGS2 does seem to outperform the XE in things like linpack and Neocore. Full RGB is a plus on the screen front. I'm so confused :L I know what HTC are like though, so if i get the XE in a week or two they'll release something way better and i'll feel like a douchebag
Just came from a sensation to a galaxys2 today owned the HTC for 2months , all i can say is i will never miss the HTC over the gs2, your worrys about the res in the screen has no effect from the difference the SA+ screen, colors have no depth and look like they have a white glow on the sensation, mine was custom romed with beats profiles on it, it is good, however power amp does a better job. Build is good but fat and i got a slim line case and it felt like a brick. But sense 3.0/3.5 is great very flash and handy for social news feeds etc.
All i can say is have a try urself instore and make sure to look at the sensation screen compared to the gs2s ,
Oye and one other thing , my HTC from new out of the box had white dead pixels and showed up really bad at grey colours, they drove me crazy , also the HTC only has toughen glass vs the gorilla glass on the gs2 and i had a thick protecter on and it got scratched
Hope i helped

The only thing I don't want for an HTC phone is sense. As pretty and lust worthy as it is, the performance is subpar.
I had an HTC Desire for about a year and half, s-off and all that. I played with the Sensation as a few friends had them and being honest I'm happy I made the switch from HTC.
Not thinking about the UI the SGS2 is faster, I think the screen is better and everything is responsive. Rooting takes 5 minutes once you have it figured out. Ive only had it 2 weeks but its more responsive imo and using a sensation again felt like it was slow.
I'm still figuring it out really but they do feel really diffrrent in the hands. The sensation is heavier and feels more solid in the hand but also feels bigger. The SGS2 feels lighter but still tough, although it feels a bit cheaper it feels like it will last.
The Touch Wiz interface I do like. I also liked Sense with my last phone, TW is better with more options and functions as well as being fast and responsive. I'm just trying to get my head around it but I'm liking it a lot.
Oh and the battery life is awesome, a full day and half with light use and I had 20% left. I used gps, internet, made about 30 mins of calls, about 40 texts as well as syncing my gmail, hotmail, facebook, exchange email the whole time. I'm also still running the stock rom but rooted, I just use juice defender.
I hope that helps. Ask the same question in the sensation board and you will prob get the same about the HTC. It's really up to you, try both and see what you think. Look past the how the UI works and see how it feels you hand and also how responsive as well as accurate. You are going to be holding the phone for usually a year so it better feel right.

I'd get the sgs2 easily, reviews have showed the the bump from 1.2ghz to 1.5ghz hardly makes any difference on the XE, sgs2 has a better screen, more memory, is very light and with proper eq settings can easily outclass the bass heavy beats sound on the htc. let me not forget, it runs like a dream
Iv'e confused myself even more now Just checked out the Moto Razr and it looks amazing. And its super Amoled Advanced with qHD so best of SGS2 and Sensation. Damn you OEM's! Stop making great phones i can't choose between. Screw it i'll get an iPhone............... oh no wait i have a brain.
The Razr has a locked bootloader so if you want to flash a custom rom onto it, the Razr defeats the purpose. Also Motorola is horrible at updates and keeping customer's satisfied. Moreover Motorola's software is even more subpar than sense.
Yeh, unlocked bootloader and no need to s-off or anything is another good reason to go samsung or nexus.

That's the thing. if you don't need to root or something similar then the razr is all yours. Just weigh out whether you need root or not.

Galaxy nexus ftw. But if you cant get that than definetely get the RAZR or GSII. HTC offers great build quality but their software is buggy and hogs the battery. I enjoy TouchWiz and I also like Motorola's GingerBlur; its kind of nice.

Hi, I have dilemma, the time has come to buy new smartphone
I know this question was considered many times but let me describe my point of view.
My adventure with smartphones started with Nokia N82 and now I have HTC Desire Z. I was really happy having Desire Z and HTC made a real impression on me. Now I am considering to buy HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. I really liked dev support for HTC and Cyanogenmod ROM and also other ones. I didn't use stock ROM. I am reading about many positives for SGS2 like display, camera, RAM and cons like Touchwiz, display resolution.
I would prefer to choose HTC maybe beacuse I know their product, I didn't have any samsung before.
My preferences:
For me the most important is performence, customization possibilities and dev support. I don't care about outside but only what is inside. I like sometimes to grab a picture or record a movie. For sure I am using the phone for multimedia: playing, web browsing and waching films. It would be nice if some newer games could be played smoothly. And I was really impressed by HTC custom ROMs (especially CM7).
Could you give me any view for situation repsecting my preferences? I wouldn't like to miss HTC and would like to have sure I will be satisifed if choose SGS2 (it said better performance/hardware).
I hope you understand my uncertainties.

I have got the SGS2 and will be going for a HTC or Nexus next time as the devs seen to have more freedom with htc and definlty Nexus. Also if rumors are true then smartphone compinies like samsung, sony e.t.c are going to be making their phones harder to root and more closed except for googles own phone range.
Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me what is your feeling and comments about SGS2? Did you have before any HTC smarthphone?
It is a powerful phone, but no more powerful than the HTC sensation XE. The s2 fells like it could break at any moment, it would be broken by now if my wife owned it. The camera is ok, their are a lot of custom roms for the galaxy s2 as it is a popular phone, although. I do like my phone, but next time try nexus. I have has a HTC desire before and they are very solid phones.

Hmmm to be honest, both Sensation and Sensation XE have the same type of processor and also the same amount of RAM, the only difference which I have noticed in specs is clock value 1.2 MHz and 1.5 MHz but 1.2 can be overclocked to 1.5 MHz. In that case SGS2 is winning by 1GB RAM. Hmmm hard choice.
How can comment below
For SGS2 in comparision to HTC Sensation I get known:
- SGS2 salmoled display better than LCD but worse resolution
- SGS2 1 GB RAM, for HTC left 200MB RAM free on stock ROM
- SGS2 pretty nice photos, better than for HTC
- SGS2 better movie recording
- SGS2 better movies playing
- SGS2 faster GPS sattelites localization
- SGS2 10 multitouch counted, HTC only 4
- SGS2 worse built than HTC (personally prefer HTC onecast built)
- HTC "death grip" issue
- personal - no experience with samsung products
- personal - fall in love with HTC - THE MAIN REASON OF PROBLEM TO MAKE CHOICE
I've used a Sensation and quite honestly prefer the S2. Not sure what more can be done to this phone than whats out there already, runs fast, battery lasts long, has a nice camera, has a great screen. I used to have a HD2 and I loved it (And also thought nothing could beat HTC phones) theres nothing wrong with the sensation but the S2 tops so many top 10 lists and for good reason. The CM range is nice but my S2 is pretty much perfect without it so I have no strong urgency to run it

It seems you know my dilemma It is pretty convincing in case as you'r writing you also had HTC phones, I am getting more for S2
My wife has sensation.I have SGS2.
HTC wins in raw resolution, but the s2 screen is truly gorgeous. The s2 also has far better camera and is much much slicker (faster) on the ui..
the screen is the MOST used part of the phone
so choose between best colors vs best resolution
I prefer the S2. Makes all other screens seem ancient
Tomorrow I have to decide in case I am going for new phone but I've already made decision thanks to your comments, thanks. S2 won.
If you are going to go for a custom rom then you will free up most of the Ram for the HTC, as sense is the ram killer. How about going for the HTC phone and then induldge in a Samsung Galaxy Tab, or go for a the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The case that I am going to extend standing charge in Tmobile and they have special offer galaxy s2 or htc sensation for 0.25 E , there are some more phones but these ones are the best ones.
Was in the same dilemma. Decided on S2. Screen and better mic is why it won out. Only thing I will miss from a HTC phone is Sense. Which as above uses ram but personally I like the UI.

welcome in our club
If you buy S2 I suggest to use custom luncher like go luncher ex
because touchwiz is a bit too stock by means of customization.
and for sms -> handsend sms
all the other stock bits are very good, you may never bother with custom roms
(in the first months at least)
since we are XDAers not just stock phone users, how is dev support for the Sensation compared to the SGS2? I imagine its easier to develop drivers for the Sensation even though the SGS2 is more popular overall in sales figures...

Actually I'm not stock user but as well custom Roms, now I have Desire Z and I really apreciate all devs support and it is also for me one of the key points.
That's why I'm also asking whether support for Sgs2 is as well developed as for sensation?
I think the dev support here is fine, have no idea what the sensation section is like. But as I said before, what things can't we do with our phone due to lack of dev support? Only things I can think of are source drivers for things like ICS but tbh I wouldn't buy a phone just because it can run an update possibly 2-3 weeks early. On the whole, to me anyways the SGS2 is simply the better phone overall hence why I chose it.
Good answer thanks I am already convinced about SGS2. I was going to get it today but there was no black one in the store, only white Tomorrow I will have my SGS2
htc wont be getting that much dev support since they lock bootloaders
gs2 or galaxy nexus would be the best option for you
you can check the development section
we have cm7, cm9 , miui ggbread, miui ics, B2geeko and many others project

This.
Obviously the Tegra 3 would beat the Note in terms of raw performance.
But I love the Note because of it's versatility. It's more than just a phone.
Two things make the Note the winner in my eyes. The screen, and the fact that I hate Sense. Samsung has screens on lock, and I couldn't go away from Super AMOLED or this 5.3" beauty. And I know Sense is easily dealt with by custom launchers and such, but the icons still bug me in the app drawer.
Plus, I don't have any complaints with my Note's performance, so any performance improvements from here will really only interest me if they improve battery life with similar performance...that, or I want to be able to hook my phone up to a controller and HDTV and play Battlefield 3 online.
Didn't read that article, but I'm gonna say that I still prefer Note over the One X.
I usually "rent" the newest phones for a couple of months before returning it, but I still haven't tried out the intl One X yet (and probably gonna pass on it).
Other than some casual skimming online, the One X looks like it's barely even better than the original GS2 (if at all...)
Although it looks like the One series is something "different"...I'm not too sure how fast HTC can recover from consecutive quarters of having decreasing profits.
That's what happened from them releasing EVO rehashes....whereas Samsung actually released newer upgraded stuff.
Coming from the htc evo I already hate htc with there crappy sence stuff... The evo was a cool phone for a bit and the new htc one x looks nice but im loving samsungs screens and i love the huge screen on my note... I would rather stick to my note!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I'd prefer the international HTC One X over the AT&T Galaxy Note, but if we're comparing both AT&T versions, I'd go for the Note.
I am sticking with the note. I hate when he does the quadrant on the note. That's not accurate. I would get 3200 on stock. He has to many rogue apps running. My SERAPHIM ICS ROM averages 3500 quadrant. So that is a unfair comparison.

The ones has awesome battery life? I thought it did not, and I don't like the fact that a battery can't be swapped out.
The ones looks nice but I like my Note, especially since I got it 2 months ago and I have probably about 16 months until upgrade eligible!
I'm not as worried about the non-swap battery as I am the lack of a MicroSd slot. While I generally don't bump up against the internal storage max, I always feel more comfortable knowing I can add additional storage if (and I always seem to add a card ) I want/need to.
I have to say that I love my note and other than rooting it at present, I am sticking with stock till ICS or a really stable ROM comes along.

Not to mention they're comparing the international OneX to the AT&T note which for most people here makes no sense (haha, get it?). The AT&T OneX will only have a dual core 1.5GHz Snapdragon which is found in the Note because the Tegra 3 doesn't support LTE. So this thread is kind of pointless. The Note has a bigger and better screen, better UI, and everything else is about the same between the two.
Oh and a non-removable battery and no memory expansion? What are we, Iphone users now?
I am pretty confident the ATT One X is going to have the S4 anyway... No LTE support on the Tegra 3.

look at the specs page. Yes it will only have a dual core. That's honestly what killed it for me. From this note I'll step up to a phone with a quad core that also support LTE. Now since no such device exists yet, I'll be here for a while.

look at the specs page. Yes it will only have a dual core. That's honestly what killed it for me. From this note I'll step up to a phone with a quad core that also support LTE. Now since no such device exists yet, I'll be here for a while.

Yeah. I don't know why they bothered comparing the two. The S4 will outperform our S3 for sure. But the Tegra 3 isnt even applicable.

If you mean why did the websites compare the two? Probably because they're both the new edgy devices and wanted more readers to think that they had something insightful to day. Or they were just bored and wanted to kill all our time.
If you mean the OP? I'd probably say they were bored.
How did this guy manage to get 2254 in quadrant on the note? I got over 3500 out of the box...
I am really stuck here. I love the One X's SLCD2 display and sense, but I think the SGS3 will have better battery life and a removable battery (correct me if I'm wrong), so I would really appreciate an un-biased answer, I have until the 4th of May to make my mind up completely. A poll has also been attached. Thanks!
We don't know anything about the s3 yet. You seem to not have fallen in love with that phone or you wouldn't be asking, so send it back.
But, the s3 isn't even being announced until the 3rd, and who knows how long we have to wait for a release? And depending on where you live it could be longer (might not be worldwide right away). So in that sense, keep your 1x.
You also need a 'don't give a ****' option in your poll
If you're asking this it would suggest you aren't overly fussed on the One X; I wasn't either for the short period I was using one.
If I was in your shoes I would send back and wait for the release of the S3; or at least wait till the 3rd and see what is unveiled. I think the S3 is going be better than the One X; and I am pretty positive it will be a removable battery since Samsung are known to hate internal batteries.
Touchwiz on the S2 did ruin stock ICS, but remember touchwiz 4.0 was designed for GB, the touchwiz on the S3 will be designed for ICS, so it will have more of an ICS feel which will be sweet.
I am going try get my hands on one, my work will be getting one hopefully; but I wouldn't get much use on it.

And TouchWiz doesn't?
In all honesty OP, you're best just sitting on the One X until the S3 is officially announced and you can see how the specs really line up. Give it a week, there will be 10 reviews of the S3 vs. One X and you can make an educated decision for yourself.
Personally I don't think there will be much difference between the two, if at all. If the current trend to drop the removable battery and SD card is followed then the only thing that will separate the two will be design.

Have you used SGS2? At least on GB the Touchwiz was very light and smooth compared to laggy Sense on Sensation. + With Touchwiz there comes the only real smooth web browser in the Android world at the moment.
So I was typing a response and accidentally refreshed the page... From my perspective, I would go for the SGS III, though I do agree that it may be a good idea to wait until the third to see if it is what you want. It all comes down to preference, get what you want. I'm a bit fed up with HTC because of the poor build quality of their phones I have used and worked on, as well as the locked bootloaders. I don't think they have much in the way of quality control (I went through 3 Evo 3Ds before I found one that didn't have an extremely yellowed screen). As big of a deal that Samsung is making about their new flagship, it had better be good.
Wait and see if it is the device for you.
EDIT: Also, Sense is a b**ch.
what a great idea to post this in the GS3 forum xP
i'm in the same situation, just that my OneX has backlight flickering. so i could return it and instead get a GS3...
i wait till it's announced, if it has better build quality than the old galaxies, i switch, else i stay.
i still hate the paperfeeling of the galaxy devices

Hah. Chill. Yes I've used an S2, I've owned one since release day.
I have no problem with TouchWiz, it was a joke. I would hardly call it light, but it is smooth. And yes, the browser is awesome (although I prefer Chrome).
For me, right now - before 3rd of May, this question is irrelevant. After SGS III premiere, you'll know what's going on. Today all you know about this phone are rumors. So let's wait till Thursday.
for me ，waiting S3 ，but my girlfriend HTC ONE X also awesome. power phone
AT&T has a history of releasing the Galaxy phones about six months after Samsung announces them.
So don't expect to see an ATT LTE Galaxy S3 until October/November at the earliest.
If you don't care about LTE, then you could pick up a non-LTE European GSM version for $600-$900.
I'd stick with the HTC though. That LTE is totally worth it, IMO.
I'm almost certain that the GS3 will be slightly better than the ONE X, but when it comes to quality, feel in the hand and looks the ONE X is very hard to beat (and lets be honest, Samsung doesnt have a history of classy phones)! Anw i'm torn between the two and i hope Samsung makes my decision hard! Cheers!

Hi
yeah it does look likely that the s3 will only be slightly better
1. s3's screen will more or less be the same as the one x's
2. they both have quad core cortex a9 processors under the hood
3. the s3 may have a better gpu
4. one x already has 32gb memory so sd card slot or not it doesnt matter
5. s3 may have better battery life and maybe even a removeable battery
6. s3 will probably have 4g lte
so it is going to be the gpu performance, battery life and 4g that will give the s3 the win over one x's better looks and feel assuming the s3 is not gonna have the same
BUT is all that really worth the wait...................

To respond to hannibal post :
1. The screen will be better then x's that's 100% sure
2. Sgs3 will have better performance on that quad core
3. Sgs will have better gpu , we agree on that mail 400 440 mhz (prolly)
4. Sgs with sd card slot
5. Bigger battery then HTC X, 2050 we are expecting, quad core using less battery , sgs3 will have green pixel which will reduce 20% amoled consumption
6. agree on that
7. led notification (possible)
8. Samsung will add something new, smth like eye recognition...
Anything else which goes in HTC + would be design
Its not worth to wait , its worth to BUY !!!
You're forgetting it has Touchwiz not Sense. Whatever the specs are, Sense ftw

Thats your opinion, I'm not a big fan of TW as a launcher myself but I'll take it over sense any day. Sense is bloated, laggy and slow.
Have both? Thats what I'm planning on

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?
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
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
