So guys I am planning to buy a new device.. And with the budget I have, there are two options for me.. S3 and One X but I am really confused between them!
So which one is the better option?
Any help will be appreciated!

S3 for the performance, One X for the design.
Although, they say that the Jelly Bean update for One X even made it at par with the S3 in terms of performance.
Just in case, dont buy the one x +, you can always root and unlock the one x's bootloader and overclock it, no need to spend extra bucks for that.
Also, take a look at nexus 4 2gigs of ram, quadcore krait cpu's, adreno320 gpu, and most of all- its a Nexus. And a beautiful one, on top of that.
I prefer galaxy SIII

Wait for Nexus 4
Stretch your budget a bit and go for note 2.
You won't regret it.
" Always forgive your enemy, nothing will ever annoy him more."
I would say
Wait for NEXUS 4..
Let it be like this...
1) Nexus 4
2)HTC one X
3)Galaxy SIII
::highfive:
Don't buy anyone of these two phones,both of them're old phone n soon replace by next flagship, keep waiting will be a smart choice.
Note 2 is better than S3 for me,n S4 will coming in February next year.
Droid DNA is also coming out to replace 1X.
As the comments above,Nexus 4 is nice.NEXUS IS NEXUS AFTER ALL...
as this section belongs to xperia neo ill answer this way
xperia odin or xperia yuga
They will be overpriced as all Sony phones!

S3
Samsung even releases a jelly bean update for the galaxy s2!
Via Mobile
N7000 Note - I'm gonna buy it next summer just the freaking resolution and screen size just awesome
Get a Nexus 4 if it's available any time soon! Well.,I doubt it's launch in India soon!
Or else get One X however both One X and s3 are getting old!
Xperia Yuga is a good find! Imo
Just to say,
Get any phone which you find suits you best as Companies would keep releasing newer models, that's their business
It should not happen like you wait for s4 ,by the time you decide a new phone is announced as its successor, so again you wait.... And the Vicious circle continues!

I will suggest you to wait for Nexus 4... after all its a Nexus..
Yeah , suggest Nexus 4 , better than both One S or Galaxy SIII :victory:
I was gonna buy S3 but then I decided to wait Nexus 4. I think you should wait too.

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

definitely not the best phone right now, considering all the devices with 2GB of RAM and 1080p screens coming up
Go for xperia Z, will have almost same hardware as S4 or maybe better...should come out somewhere next month

Rumours are that Android 5.0 will come in May/June. Since Sony provides needed sources, I guess SGS4 users will wait longer for stable build than Xperia Z users..

I would go with the Xperia Z, I'm actually tempted to get one myself this time around, mainly because it water & dust proof, camera looks pretty decent aswell.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.
I love the screen on this bad boy! The biggest concern I had was the battery and after testing it is better than I could get with any previous phone. About the same as the Note 2.
If you are on the fence, jump off and go get one!
Now I have to sell my Xperia Z and my S4 Active lol.
What can you tell us about the screen?i am quite curious about it.
Also congratz on getting z ultra

The screen is absolutely beautiful. It is not as bright as the S4 Active or the Z but I am sure they did this to keep the battery life better.
I will upload some pics next to the other phones.
First one here is next to the S4 Active.
Another pic with the Z vs Z Ultra

Don't forget to hit the Thank you Button if I helped you in any way
good to know.i always wondered about triluminos display.thank you dude.hope some awesome developers get this device.
So with same brightness and same wifi/etc on, it's same battery life as Note 2? That's pretty good. I was afraid it'd be 2/3 or half of the note 2 battery life.
Yeah battery was my biggest concern but this baby rocks! No worries now.
I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! ), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.
I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.
I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.
Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.
With CM10.1 by @percy_g2 - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.
I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth
The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.
Cheers,
Ray
Yeah sort of, the battery life is worse than I thought and the white magic isn't that special... next time i go Samsung or Nexus
i regret spending €140 on a phone that wont be provided with JB by Sony
Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.
Development these days needs lots of bandwidth with good speed which i don't have .
Build server will help in fast development and more things will come :angel: .
I'm so poor Need a little high end with cheap so I got this Xperia U I'm regret but this is what I deserves :crying:

yes as i have it to april 2014 on contract with locked boot loader so i cant go higher than ics what hasn't been updated in months
Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset

No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

Locker bootloader? Lol, just unlock it! It's so easy!
No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.
My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.
But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.
I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.
This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.
I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3
My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan
I love my XU

How about adding a poll?
Yesterday, my Galaxy SL fell on the ground and half of the touch screen stopped working, so I am thinking of replacing that phone.
The new one must be around the same size (123.7 x 64.2 x 10.59 mm) and I'd like it to have some support from the modding community.
I've been thinking of HTC One, it really looks good.
Thought of Nexus 4, but I'd prefer a phone with external microSD support. I'd also like to have the chance to replace the battery (I know the One doesn't allow that).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
What about LG G2?
Please Don't Forget To Press The Thanks Button!! :thumbup:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini or Xperia T (doen't allow to replace the battery)

Galaxy S3 mini or the S4 mini would be good. Both phones are great budget devices that fits your description (though S4 mini is slightly smaller and has IR Blaster, as well as a more sensitive and accurate GPS)
Galaxy S2 would be another consideration if you are tight on budget (though the sound quality is not the greatest "YAMAHA DAC" lol)

I also like this phone, but too expensive.
Sorry for the very late reply!
Somehow, I ended up getting an HTC One, which doesn't meet any of the requirements I had specified, but I couldn't help falling in love with it.
Thank you for you support, anyway (Yeah, I'm clicking "THANKS" to everybody )
