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...

AnonD-47262, 12 May 2012lol nice excuseExcuse? It's true. I think most people (except maybe on this site) care about about real life performance more than benchmarks. Real life performance between the two are near identical because they're both blazing fast.

          lol @ all the htc fans who are in denial.
          making up excuses wont get u better audio quality. it wont get u better battery life. it wont get you the better user experience.

          hox got beat by the gs3. deal with it. gs3 is better. lol all the hox has is a beautiful design. sgs3 has the performance which is what matters most.

            reviewer is very diplomatic by not choosing the winner, for me S3 definatly wins over HTC oneX .

                            And it would be weird to select a future phone over a current one. Or in this case three future phones over a current one.

                            Oh and comparing devices on two different OS versions using benchmark software which performs differently on each version.

                            The purpose of this article is to get/keep people interested in the site. Otherwise they would be doing a Xperia S, One S and One V battery test and a review for the Sola.

                              Why are people saying the HTC wins on display? The HTC has brighter whites and is barely sharper (except on extreme close inspection). The S3 on the other hand has better black levels, colour accuracy, contrast, viewing angles and sunlight viewing.

                              I'd say the S3 takes that too. In-fact, based on this comparison, the only non-subjective thing the One X beats the S3 at is in low light camera capability. But everything else, the S3 won out pretty easily.

                                    I actually think the blue S3 is really beautiful, while One X is boring brown/grey, and HTC Sence is really becoming old and boring while the new "TouchWiz" on S3 look really nice and close to stock Android!

                                      When it comes to still and video camera, audio, benchmark and features, One X got schooled by GS3. That's tolerable, though, but...

                                      only 5 hours of video playback?!? Damn that's just downright pathetic! And no expandable memory and interchangeable battery sucks for HOX as well. GSMArena won't say it cuz they don't want to hurt the feelings of HTC fanboys, but i'll say it anyway; GS3 wins, One X pwned!!!
