[Q] S3 or HTC - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Friends, I am planning to buy either S3 or HTC one .
I am well aware of the specs of both smart phones. My concern is regarding the hardware. Which one is the best in terms of reliability, durability and better hardware. Because I have read few issues for both phones like S3 has voice, charging and battery issues where as HTC one X has signal, Wifi issues.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Wrong forum XD, well I was happy with my S3, UNTIL, find out the screen is so fragile, mine already cracked being on my pocked with my keys, had to pay $250.00 to fix it. now it gets more attention than my GF XD

Ok,first, you are in S3 thread..
All ( or,at least,most) of us will suggest s3, and is the correct choice
I haven't any of the problem you described ( voice, charging and battery ARE ALL working fine)
Battery life is great for me, 2 days in medium usage
The pros for S3 : removable battery, stronger processor and gpu, microsd,louder speaker volume, free galaxy tab 2 7"
THe pros for One X ( the competitor): looks more solid,because unibody,lighter,different/better screen technology ( no deep blacks btw)
Camera is almost the same quality, but honestly i prefer the s3 one
The One X got Sense, for me is crappy ( i had a lot of htc and in my opinion sense is good but boring and too heavy after some times..)
These are my considerations, hope to help you a bit in the choice :cyclops:

I got 3 HTC one X's and they all got faulty hardware. I asked a refund in the end and bought a S3.
Screen of the One X is much better than the S3 and sense looks beautifull.
If I could afford it and had the courage to swap it 10x before having a faulty free HTC One X, I would go for HTC. But reading about the faulty wifi antenna on the HOX that can fail on you at any time (connectors get loose and HTC's solutions is to press it with foam tape between the unibody....). I'm glad I bought S3.
HOX had more potential than S3, but HTC blew it on that one.

you ask here off course everybody will recommend ask you go for s3

S3 is a toned down version of God, go for it, you will never regret it.

Come on, let's be serious. Everyone knows that God is a toned down version of the S3.
Anyway, S3 is better because of the screen and processor. Though HOX would get tegra exclusive games.

S3 had launched for few months.
New phone coming out soon, note 2, LG optimus g, mi 2.
They are great phone compare to s3, it is better you get the latest phone.
New chipset, 2gb ram (this is important).
Anyway, it is up to you.
S3 will get the most xda developer support, choose it if you are keen on many variety custom Rom

Enough of these comparisons, @OP go do some research or better yet, go with HTC and leave this forum alone.

Ignore this post unless you want screens you can push in, camera lens covers that begin to pop away for the unibody over a short time, marks or dents on your finish, stuttering etc.

Yup, they really dropped the ball on the hardware and obviously didn't put it through the proper tests.

Have an Amaze, kinda want to get a Galaxy Nexus. Am I crazy?

So, I have an Amaze and like it enough. Don't love it, don't hate it. I like it. I want something new though and I am tired of waiting for ICS to drop. I am thinking I want to buy a Galaxy Nexus. Am I crazy? Has anyone here used the Galaxy Nexus and went back to the Amaze? Or is something else that will work on 4G with T-Mobile coming out really soon? Carrier branded or not.
I played around with my friend's Window's phone on 7.5 and it worked really nicely. I couldn't find any "high-end" Windows phones that I liked that work on T-Mobile 4G. Maybe I should stay away from those. Thoughts about a WM phone or the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks for your input.

edit: yes, you are crazy for wanting a overpriced phone that is already outdated lol
No you're not crazy man, Just don't switch to a new device just because it has a newer Android OS on it
and lol whenever i see the One S I see an Amaze with a new processor and screen
edit: Widows Phones are fun, I have an HTC Radar and can say that was a great phone, but its just too boring for my tastes, and the lack of classic emulators was disturbing, my HTC Inspire with similar specs ran an NES emulator better than the Radar
I was thinking about for a week. And finally made my decision. Keeping my amaze. The galaxy nexus is sexy but the amaze WILL get ics aosp and sense versions EVENTUALLY. Just be patient. I was looking at galaxy nexus on eBay and they're sooo cheap I was so tempted to click "buy it now". But the amaze is simply better except for the screen (which is arguable) and operating system (which we will get eventually) and probably running smoother than the galaxy nexus.
I'm keeping my amaze until around October

much better camera(s), much better processor, much better os, much much better build, thinner, lighter, much better screen.. I could go on lol, its definitely worth the upgrade (if you have the money). also all the accessories HTC is making for the ONE series is worth the upgrade.
If you don't have money to waste id stick with the amaze though since its not a bad device at all really. im probably upgrading to the Nokia Lumia 900 though I miss me some WP7
edit: how does nes run on wp7? is it playable

the galaxy nexus looks amazing, the camera is a deal breaker for me though =l
NES runs ok on the Radar, about 3/4 speed with the sound on, it should run the same on any WP7 phone with a 1Ghz processor and 512 RAM
and lol i read that the S4 smokes the tegra 3s so I can give you that, and I don't factor OS revisions when I look at newer phones simply because Android = portable most of the time nor accessories either. I just look at build quality and specs and work from there, for the longest time i saw "1.5 dual core, 1 GB RAM, aluminium build, no AT&T 3.5G bands"
gonna inject a lil bias here: I HATE pentile screens, everything looks like its through a fishnet to me lol, and samsung scared me away from any AMOLED screens thanks to their crazy color saturation
camera: More megapixels are great but how good the image sensor is is what counts, Amaze is better in both regards
Edit: call me crazy but I like a slightly heavier phone, helps give me a sense of how durable a phone is, even if it has nothing to do with durability

Yeah, the lumia 900 should handle it better. RAM doesn't really matter in WP7. i still would prefer 1gb though
benchmarks don't really mean anything. if the hardware isn't optimized for the software then the benchmarks wont be great. I would pick the one x over the one s anyday I don't like aluminum phones. I like polycarbonate plastic much more and the one x has that. i read somewhere that the one s will come with both though.
yeah pentile is horrible, i had the atrix. but, the pentile on the one S isn't noticeable at the slightness. htc did something, they wouldn't make it have a bad screen considering everyone hates the pentile on moto devices.
the one s, and one x have the same camera. the amaze and one s both have 8mp, but the one s has a MUCH better sensor, and a dedicated image chip.. i don't know what you're talking about lol, the camera flys past the amaze. have you seen the sample shots?
edit: megapixels count definitely, it depends on how you use them though. the way Nokia is on the pureview is great. will be the best camera on the mobile phone market. the one series will probably be in 2nd place and leave the amaze in 3rd

You're not crazy man. Lately I've been thinking about this too.
lol sorry stratax, I was refering to the galaxy nexus with the whole camera comment, I've been really letting my cell phone knowledge slip there after getting the amaze so other than the bare basics I really havent looked into the One series all that heavily, and i thought the one s only had the aluminium shell that was hardened with some sort of high voltage process
and I'm not saying that megapixels aren't all that important, I'm saying there are other factors that contribute to how good a camera sensor is, compare the same photo across all kinds of phones with the same number of megapixels and you'll see a clear difference in the quality is all I'm saying
that nokia phone is rediculous though
Nah your not crazy, I had an amaze with a custom rom but they weren't anything special but a better stock experience. I recently got a galaxy nexus and I love it. HD screen, quality 5MP camera, and ICS plus it has a bigger screen with on screen keys which I like better. Never thought of going back to Amaze, especially with all the roms, mods, & customization but its all depends on your needs

HaHaHa. Is it ever about needs? Nope. For me, at least, it is about getting something new and in some cases, having a phone that not many others in town will have. Before we had 3G/4G on AT&T and TMO, I was buying a new phone every 3 months. Mainly Nokia N series. Remember those bad boys? Buy it, swap out the SIM and go. Now with the different 3G/4G bands on the carriers, it makes it more difficult to just buy a new phone and be happy. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, 2G only, etc. Without fail, the "other" carrier has the phone I want. Then when I switch to get that phone, the "other" carrier I just switched from gets another phone I want. It is never ending and I still to this day have the itch to buy a new phone every couple of months. I swear, I need phone purchasing/carrier switching rehab.
I've had people offer their GNexus for my Amaze and I couldn't justify the trade. The GNexus has a better screen and it's a Google phone and all, but the cons of that phone are too much for me to handle (no microSD slot, terrible camera, etc).

oh I was about to say hahah. no, on one CES coverage someone stated that it will come in both polycarbonate and anodized aluminum. still, I would take the IPS SLCD 2 over super amoled pentile ANYDAY
yeah, the sensor is one of the most important things if you have a decent number of pixels. if you had a badass sensor with a vga camera it would look a bit funny lol. speaking of which, the galaxy nexus has crap mp count and sensor xD fail flagship device imo
edit: the most I would pay for the galaxy nexus is 300 and that would never happen lol
ive owned both the amaze and htc evo 4g lte
i notice no difference in picture quality. they both take great pictures
Owned both the Galaxy Nexus & the Amaze. They are both nice phones. However, the Amaze is just a great phone. I do have my complaints such as the battery and the fact that I am on my 4th Amaze (2 would not charge/overheating problem straight out of box, 3rd lost).
The Amaze has got to be one of the most underrated phones I know about.

I have both the Amaze and the Nexus. Unless Samsung changes how they manufacture their phones, I will never buy another Samsung phone again.
I had my Nexus for about a month when It started exhibiting the famous charging issue. I sent it in for warranty repair (ha), and got it back three weeks later with a note that it had suffered water damage, and therefore my warranty was void. Considering the fact that the phone was never wet, this had to be a bogus claim. I tried correcting this to no avail - it's obvious that Samsung doesn't stand behind their products.
I was able to pick up an Amaze for $69 through Target, and I'm glad I'm back with HTC. The build of the phone is so much better than either the Nexus or the GS II that I have owned, and the camera is the best camera I've seen in a smartphone.
The only negative I have regarding the Amaze is Sense - I would love a stable vanilla ROM that has everything working....
But I digress - I would not recommend going from the Amaze to the Nexus to anyone.

Htc one X v.s Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.

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

hi
one thing u like it or not we have to agree samsung has gone a long long way
as per the many surveys i read Samsung is the leader today im max Mobile sale and also Max Adroid mobile sales hes in the 1st pace and sorry to say as much as i am a HTC Fan HTC has gone very very down on the table
hope it will improve this fin yr

Coming from a One S, is it worth to upgrade to the One X+?

From the title itself, is it worth to upgrade to One X+? I mean, one downfall of the One X, is faster battery drain compared to the One S.. and the One S seems to be so much faster than the One X, but now the One X+ have a different chipset and now having a 2100 mAh battery.. do you think it's worth it? I've read some posts in the One X+'s forum that the battery is improved but not that much.. but now, they managed to have 4-5 hrs screen time, which is not by far from the One S.. and the JB and Sense 4+ is buttery smooth compared to the X's stock.. can the One S still beat the One X+?
Btw, i also do like the 64gb storage because 16gb isn't quite enough for me being a mobile gamer and a music lover, that's why i'm considering the upgrade..

If I get the money and I can unlock the One X+ on O2 I will be selling my One S and getting this. 1000x better screen way more storage and faster chipset. Battery is never going to be as good but the One S has a q hd samoled display so it's going to last a long time.

So the only downfall of the One X+ is still the battery like the One X? And in any other aspect, it will outmatch the One S? Well guys, after reading those comments, I just want to buy the One X+ ASAP.

Haha yea, the battery life is better many reviewers have said. Not amazingly better because the cpu is more powerful on the one x+ so most of the added battery power caters for that. Should be able to get a day with it which is the main thing . I want it badly as well lol. Was thinking about the nexus 4 but it's just problem after problem after problem on the n4 forum!

This is the Q&A Section, so pretty much any question that has to do with the respective phone is allowed. And it is also allowed to ask whether a user that answers has sufficient base to give a substantial answer. No reason to get rude and offensive for that.
Thanks for your understanding.

For starters OP the HOS was never faster than the HOX. It's like my mum trying to say her dual core centrino laptop is better than my quad core i7.. This is just something HOS users have invented to make themselves feel less insecure about buying a cheaper phone. ( Not that they need too. The HOS is a great phone). As for the battery. My friend owns a single core HTC SXL. It has a great battery life because of it's lower power. Now my HOX+ can pretty much go blow for blow with it in terms of battery, and lasts longer with the power saver mode enabled.
End of the day, it depends how you use your phone. If you use it as a phone/browser/media device. There is no need to upgrade. If you want to play the latest games or show off to your friends, your best upgrading to a HOX+ / SGS III or Note II.

Well that's a very professional answer, compared to some HOX+ users here who treat other people who have inferior phone to theirs, as dumb ****.. i really appreciate your response sir..
Now, about my plan to upgrade, after what i've heard from you, i really want to buy the HOX+ asap. i realized that 4.3" screen, 16gb storage and a battery that barely last a day with moderate use isn't enough for me.. before i bought my HOS, i really like the One X but i've read several reviews like in phonearena, gsmarena and here at xda that there are so many issues with the HOX like the short battery life, overheating problems, and the camera lens being vulnerable to scratches because it is really protruded, so i just bought the HOS. But seeing all that spectacular specs of the HOX+ and all the great things it has to offer, i fell out of love with my HOS.. and because i'm really a heavy user, mobile gamer and music lover, then the HOX+ is the perfect phone to upgrade to.

On my HOX+ the rubber around the raised camera bezel is just slightly raised compared to the glass. So when i put my phone down, the glass never makes contact with the surface. I don't know if this is the same for all HOX+'s though, as i have read threads by people claiming that there camera is not centered on the back of the phone. But from my experience with the HOX+, the quality is great. I guess you will just have to cross your fingers and hope you get a good model

It's good that the camera lens protrusion is now solved in the HOX+, and yes i've also read that some models, the camera eye isn't centered, i guess i have to inspect first the unit i will get before i pay for it. Good to know all issues to avoid before buying.
Btw, i never consider the sgs3 nor the note 2 because: 1) i was never impressed with the build quality of samsung mobile being plastic, it looks very cheap. 2) touchwiz UI isn't appealing compared to sense UI, i don't plan to root my phone yet within a year so i can't live with it's UI. 3) the One X+ looks sexier and more premium than any other samsung mobile. 4) sgs3 and note 2 is too mainstream, over rated, and almost all people use this and braging that they have the best and the latest phone out there, i don't want to be one of them. 5) super-lcd2 is more appealing to me than samoled, (though it's very ironic because my One S have samoled).
So i guess i will definitely get the One X+ if i can sell my One S, then i could get the money to buy one.. i'm afraid my One S will never have a JB update because it isn't one of the flagships today.

[Q] Convince me: One X+ over Galaxy S3

Ok. I'm planning to upgrade from my LG G2x (Wind Optimus 2X) to either with Galaxy S3 or the One X+ (North American - Telus Canada versions). I'm leaning to the S3, but I want to see if people on this forum can change my mind. My criteria:
- Real-life performance (benchmarks are moot)
- Battery-life
- Camera performance
- Construction quality
- Future proofing (ROM development both 3rd party or manufacturer)
Coming from the LG G2x, I've learned a lot of lesson on areas I've gotten burned. That's one reason I've ruled out the Nexus 4 (being LG) and that fact that 16GB is not freaking enough. Google is smoking dope if they think we can get everything off the cloud and don't need much storage...not when we're on a plane or in the subway. I've learned that nVidia is terrible and doesn't support or provide source code for the Tegra (at least for the Tegra 2), I've learned, that though the processor was great, the G2x was totally short on RAM 384MB (usable), I've learn that given all these issues both LG and developers here and there weren't spending much effort supporting the device.
I much prefer the design and construction of the One X+ over the Galaxy S3, I also prefer, Sense over TouchWiz, but I'm open to trying new ROMs, skins, and launchers. I prefer things to work well stock, out of the box, but again if I need to rolling in a new ROM (or just a nice update on Android, I'm happy to do so.)
So I've probably already convinced myself based on my criteria, the S3 is better choice for me, even though, I dread the look and the feel in hand, and the fact that it's as ubiquitous as the iPhone. So someone convince me otherwise to go with the One X+ instead.

I just came from the s3 and all I can say is if you like features speed and a beautiful phone one x plus is for you as for development the s3 is going to be best if you like switching roms

How do you find the battery life and camera compared to the S3? Reading reviews online and the battery thread here, I still sense the still S3 wins in those categories.

I too came from the S3. I exchanged it for a One X+ yesterday. So far, the build quality is like day and night between the S3 and one X plus. The 64 gb of storage is useful as well.

It depends on what ROM you plan to use for battery life. I can't make a solid answer about battery yet, but I will say if you plan on gaming it eats up battery pretty quickly. IMO, I prefer the One X camera. Audio quality on the one X plus seems better as well. My advice would be to go to a store and try both phones out and see which one is best for you.

The battery is about the same as my s3, that I owned for 4 months it's about 8-19 hours depending on how heavy I use my phone mostly tapatalk YouTube pulse facebook talk and texting all day with some GPS navigation. The camera is about the same, (HTC camera software blows Samsung's out the water) HTC one x wins all the way in my book, the phone works great s3 software is still ics stock while the one x is jellybean.
One thing I wanna note is the one x plus has no lagg at all the speakers on the s3 internal and external sucks compared to onex+

Not a lot gaming at all. More surfing, videos, and I tend to use navigation a lot when I'm travelling. I hate having my phone out of juice in the middle of the afternoon especially when I'm travelling in another city because I was using the navigation/GPS a lot.

For me personally there is also a non technical/specs related reason. I've always been a fan of HTC devices. Design, build quality and reliability is the best among Android devices. Eventhough competing brands might offer a specs wise slightly better device, I keep supporting HTC by buying their products. I want the company to stay in the Android phone business! Otherwise Samsung or Apple will soon be the only main manufacturers...
I also come d one s3 and j have a passion which is the concert, level video photograph, battery, the one x + is to superieur in s3 however that ci etait root

Agree 100% on HTC as company. In fact, I was using HTC for my two previous devices prior to going to the LG G2x. Again big regret going to LG. But times have changed a bit and Samsung is really pulling ahead in the Android market. My biggest concern with One X+ reading around is the battery life. Right now it seems some people are doing fine with while others are having some serious battery drain issues. I might need to get the device and try it a couple of days to really find out for myself.

Isn't there a 14-30 day period when u buy a phone that u can return it no questions asked with a new contract? If so, why does anyone need to tell anyone answers to questions they can figure out on their own? Lol. Get the S3, play with it for 10 days, return it for hox+, return it in 10 days, then stick with the one u like best. If u can't figure out battery life in 10 days then a smartphone probably ain't for u, lol! Some people
If you had to choose between phones, choose between the Optimus G or the HTC One X+. I say this because I personally want to spend $200 on a phone with 1.) Good Build Quality and 2.) not outdated Hardware (the S3 has a dual core, all phones now have quad core). If you want many ROMs, then get the S3. I've had all 3 phones, and I'm sticking with the One X+. Battery life is on par with S3, but the Optimus G has the best out of all. One X+ screen is on par with Optimus G, and they both blow the S3 screen. S3 and One X+ cameras are both good, Optimus G's is mediocre.
Hope this helped.

I'm in Canada, so things are a little different with our carriers. My current provider had a 30min voice and 50MB data usage limit to void the device return policy even though the period is 14 days. I'll have to look into Telus's policy more closely if they also have something similar. That and we have 3 yr contracts and better healthcare...
I just returned my One X+. I wanted it because I really like the 64GB of internal storage. Plus I was getting bored with my Galaxy S3. I knew I was losing RAM but figured it was worth the trade off (the U.S. GS3 has 2GB RAM vs 1GB for One X+).
I have the GS3 with AOKP and after using the One X+ I realized it is NOT faster than my GS3 like I was thinking it would be. I knew the One X+ was not as friendly to root and flash ROMs like the GS3 but I was willing to just leave it stock. It's not that it lagged or anything. It works great as is. It's just that having the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 (Nexus 4) it did not offer the performance boost I was looking for. As for the storage, my GS3 does have less internal storage but it does accept SD cards.
It does play better looking games than the US GS3 with its Adreno 225. It will get really hot playing the high end games but I had a case on so I didn't feel it as much. The One X+ GPU is not better than the iPhone 5 GPU or even the Nexus 4 with its Adreno 320. I knew that before hand but was still fine with that. I just mention it here in case you didn't know.
As for battery life, I had a PowerSkin on my One X+ that offers some protection AND has spare battery power if and when needed. So I didn't have a battery problem myself.
If your fine not having a device that's as friendly to hack and has as much developer support then I would say the One X+ would be good over the GS3. I didn't like that by keeping my One X+ stock that I couldn't disable all the bloat but it was a small price to pay I guess.

You do realize the one x+ has a 12 core gpu. IPhone 5 is a quad gpu and I'm not sure about the s4 pro.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
lol. You believe because it has more cores that makes it better? The “cores" are not equal at all. The GPU's are different. And although you see that number you are very mistaken to think that makes it more powerful. Its not. Its not even close to being the same.
No the iPhone 5 has a 3 core GPU. The iPad last I check has the quad core GPU to push all those extra pixels. Benchmarks can show how many frames the devices run loading and playing certain things. The iPhone 5 in mine and others who done it handles and plays way smoother with mores frames in those intense benchmark 3D tests.
I forgot some people can't accept a device they like or has being less powerful and beaten by other devices. In whatever area. I didn't mean to make think the One X+ GPU is not good. It just really is not better than the other two I listed. Once my devices GPUs are beaten by others I have no problem accepting that. In fact, I said the Tegra-3 was better than my Adreno 225 in my GS3.

[Dilemma] HTC One or GalaxyS IV?

Assuming that the SGS IV will be an Exynos Octa, and that you don't care much about the difference in screen size or about removable flash or battery, which one would you go for? SGS IV or HTC One? Probaby the weightiest criteria in my view are speed, screen quality, and, last but not least, the possibility of flashing CM. (Note the difficulties with which the CM team has been confronting in porting CM to Exynos-based cellphones.)

If S4 is AMOLED, then I'm out. If it's S-LCD, then I will at least wait to try both devices. But, I'm done with AMOLED. People talk about using it in the sun being poor but any outdoor performance is poor. I've enjoyed the spoils of the S-LCD screen and still hate the AMOLED from the S2 and current phone (S3).
I too am torn between the HTC One and the supposed GS4.
One one hand, I have a fetish for HTC Sense -I just find android unbearable without HTCs additions.
On the other, The E5 Octa is very tempting due to the superiority of the CPU and GPU.
I really need to wait for the official release to see the device itself. If it is primarily constructed out of plastic, then I would pick the HTC One without hesitation. If it is an aluminum device, then I might be swayed (however I would still be biased towards the HTC One).

Screens can improve though, I'd wait to see both before passing judgement. One X has the best screen of any phone I've owned, galaxy s3 is poor in comparison. Note 2's screen is actually quite nice though.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This is really killing me, too.
I think the deciding factor for me will be the design. If the S4 is another piece of **** plastic device then I'm not getting it.
And please, don't try telling me "plastic is a great design element" because it is really not. I've had the S1, and told myself the S2 won't be like that. Then I got the S2, same thing. S3 was the final device I told myself I'd get being plastic, and sure the design was nice indeed but it was still the same plastic design. No matter how many times they coat it; it's plastic.
We can't do this comparison because we still don't know much concrete about the S4. We still don't know if there are any new features that may outweigh our concerns on other aspects such as design and the number of cores.
I'm not getting anything until the S4 is out so I can see.
why even ask a question like this without the GS4 specs even out....
everyone who has voted in the poll i bet not a single one of them own the phone yet.....
According to some benchmark, there is no significant difference in processor performance. In case that HTC One has metallic body, excellent display, camera improvements and better UI*, I vote HTC.
* I'm not talking about BlinkFeed
The One because it is an unibody and S4 (probably) plastic.
Thanks guys, I think that I should probably post this poll in the Galaxy forums as well
Otherwise, how does HTC play with aftermarket ROMs (such as CM and the like)?

You are correct, because the phones aren't out yet :silly:
The poll is merely asking what people are getting, if it was posted in a Samsung forum, the results would more than likely sway the other way.

You know what's funny I just read Samsung is manufacturing the screens for the HTC One. I don't know if they manufactured the ONE X screen but to me it was one of the reasons why I bought it over the SG3.
Gs4 Will not uses 8 cores, only 4, this is mkt. Will have a sd card and more power. But have a touchwiz, plastic and poor sound. I buy a HTC one for now.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Why pay more than the HTC One for probably half the storage and a plastic phone??? The difference in performance is probably going to be negligible in day to day use (unless you play games) and touchwiz is in need of a serious overhaul.
I would of voted but's it's silly voting for a device which is not even announced.
One think for sure I am not getting plastic dosen't matter even if it comes with 100 cores.
I will always choose htc one because Samsung will probably be plastic and I don't think that gs4 will have better sound than one
I don't know why but I think that Samsung will copy htc one "zoe"
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
My primary deciding factor is design. For how I use a phone, I probably wouldn't benefit from the extra (if it ends up having the octa chip) processing power and other little features that it's supposedly going to have.
I'm currently on an iPhone 5 now and simply love the design. When I got bored in the past with the 4 I went to the Inspire and it just simply fell short in a number of categories. But I'm really excited to get back to Android since there have been some major changes/advancements in the last year and a half.
With all that said, I have a high respect and regard to a well designed phone and I think HTC really nailed it with this phone. It would take a seriously impressive phone from Samsung to sway me away from the One.
Edit: this was my first post for a loooong time on XDA. I suppose it's time to update my sig.
