Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III vs. HTC One X: Alien vs. Predator

11 May 2012
There's no battle to end all battles in this industry but there's no point either trying to reason with two deadly droids, armed with the latest technology. We have two of the season's hottest smartphones in combat mode and Android supremacy is...

dave, 12 May 2012I cant believe people are complaining about the looks. At t... moreTo pay so much for a phone(any company) that's ugly or that fragile to sit hidden in a monstruos case is not everyone's choice.

      I cant believe people are complaining about the looks. At the end of the day your phone will be in a case.

        So, a test...
        Galaxy SIII is a tad powerfull and has MicroSD slot, HOX looks better.
        Galaxy SIII takes better pictures in dailight HOX takes better pictures at night.

        They don't seem to differ that much, it's just a matter of prefference wich one to get for someone that want's that kind of phone. Only trolls could argue one or another is way better.

          For all those who say that the reviewer was being unreasonable in declaring a winner, well he is right.. HTC set the stage and Galaxy S3 is getting on it with amazing results.. No user sits and checks for benchmarks every day. Its more about the performance. So when it comes to performance, both are monsters. I love HTC and I love Samsung since S2. Declaring a winner here is not exactly what pushes sales. Its personal interest anyways. I did go for the One X because it came first and would have got the S3 had it looked better. The important thing is as soon as people see the phone, it should impress. This is what I get with my One X. With the S3, I would mainly need to ask people to take a closer look to show that its the monster. Because first look disappoints. Would rather carry a state of the art rather than a piece of tart.. :-) but kudos to samsung on the S3.. I am just sad that I wont be buying it and wish all the features were in a much better packaging..

            First of all, this review is really nice. Thank you very much!
            Samsung beats HTC this time. But it's not fair, because the Galaxy s3 came later and had the competitor's flagship to fight, unlike the One X.

                The Galaxy has a better processor, a better battery, better storage. However, it DOES NOT HAVE A BETTER SCREEN than the One X. The One X boasts a TRUE HD LCD2 panel. SGSIII has a pentile display with 1/3 less pixels. It is not a HD Display!

                Again, pentile displays have 1/3 real pixels than a RGB display. The HDAmoled is marketing hype. Galaxy Tab 7.7 has HDAmoled+, and this display is INCREDIBLE!! Samsung has let their fans down greatly, like me.

                    samsung profits/market share gonna continue to skyrocket while htc will continue to show losses. phones are pretty much equal but i'm buying s3 knowing it's future will be supported better.

                        I will choose One X over GS3, I'm well aware of the Benchmark tests. But, in real life scenario it varies and One X has got better looks than GS3. I dont want more brightness ready to adjust with the SLCD2. No Memory card is a huge Minus. 26GB is a huge space, for me its more than what i wanted.

                        One X in white is a Killer !

                          I think is a fair comparisson. Benchmarks don't tell hlf the story, iPhone 4S has to be worlds away from iphone 4 if that was the case. It's not. So I don't care much about that. Gaming? I have a 3DS and Vita. Smartphones aren't ready for games. True games at least. I prefer HTC's approach. Much sexier/nicer, better screen (I deal with the screen everytime I use the phone), Sense is much better than Touchwiz, and I can deal with a few hours less of battery ;)

                            i read the whole thing but i still cant find a reason how this can be equal?!?! i mean SGS3 beats One X in almost all departments, and not just winning it slightly but by miles! and it's a draw?!?! it's really funny! lolz!

                                  sgs3 has wifi-direct and s-beam connectivity. using wifi-direst on my galaxy note, i can transfer a video clip to another samsung phone in a few seconds, and a 1Gb file in 3 to 4 minutes.

                                    This phones doesn't make any sense??? What the hell will people do with QUAD CORE processor with high graphics??? Play Games? 1Ghz single core phones is more than enough for everyday use. I would Rather Buy a PS4, Xbox 720 or a high tech laptop with the same price. -___-
