So the only obvious thing for us to do now that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been finally announced is to compare it with the only other quad-core smartphone int he market, the HTC One X.
While it’s too early to make a solid decision from the user experience front, we can already compare the two handsets on paper. Fortunately, we were able to sneak in an HTC One X during the demo session and placed it beside the Galaxy S3 for a photo-op.
At the heart of this comparison are two competing quad-core processors — a 1.5GHz NVidia Tegra 3 vs. a 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4212.
On paper alone, the Galaxy S3 got points for storage, screen size, the Gorilla Glass 2, GLONASS and the battery capacity.
On the other hand, the HTC One X scored on the Super IPS LCD 2, HTC Sense UI, Beats Audio, a bit higher PPI, and not much else.
The jury is still out on which is the better processor, camera, battery life and the retail price (which carries the most weight).
For good measure, we also brought in a white iPhone 4S for the group photo (posted the earlier comparison here).
As for the design and form factor, it will depend on individual users which one they think is the better-looking handset. Then again, people vote with their pockets so we’ll see which one of the two becomes the best-seller very soon. It was evident with the Sensation and the Galaxy S2 last year so it’s going to be exciting to see which of the two will take the crown this year.
Ang daming tao na naka iPhone 4/4S ngayon. Ito yung mga nakatira pa rin sa bahay ng magulang nila, and wala man lang nacocontribute financially sa bahay makabili lang ng iPhone.
hater amp! so ang mga naka android sila lang ang nagcocontribute sa society? ios users puro pabigat lang? oh c’mon! may mga naka-android din dyan na bum at hiningi lang sa parents ang pambili ng phone nila. tsk tsk kaya nagkakagulo mga tao dito e. ang purpose ng blog post na to is to compare the HOX and S3 (both are great by the way) tapos siningit lang ang iphone for “good measure” andami agad nagreact ng negative.
I-Sheep
A follower of the Apple cult regardless of the usefulness or real worth of the product. Believes with without question the cult propaganda which installs the almost mythological belief that what they have just bought is the fastest or most user friendly product ever, only to be re-sold the same product, with a few minor tweaks, a few months later with the same rhetoric and complete disregard for reality. Easily mislead by their own egos and think they are being unique and innovative. Often wrong but convinced they are correct
iphone is the best!!!I think samsung is brave now to compete..the apple..because steve job is died…steve job has always have a futuristic idea…I lOve Apple!!!!
Walang binatbat iPhone mo sa Android.
Are you drugs?
Or are you is serious?
“because steve job is died†– anu ulit?. :D
I don’t reply on post like this but I just have to do this… HAHAHAHAHA!! PANALO ANG ENGLISH MO!!!
funny. :)
these are the people who own an iphone nowadays.
social climber. :)
Who is “Steve Job”? LOL
Magtagalog ka nalang… :D peace!

don’t worry bro, baka typographical error lang yan.hahaha…
gumamit siguro ng app ng apple para itransalate sa english yung thought nya tpos eto ang lumabas. haha
“because steve job is died” -wew… Ano daw?
It’s not the phone, it’s actually the OS. In terms of speed, mas mabilis tlaga si iOS kesa sa android. Kahit yung iphone 3gs it’s at par with samsung S2 in terms of speed. Pro we should watch out for Windows 8. It will be a game changer. We might see Nokia in the battlefield again :)
I’ve had an iphone 4, and i have a gnex now. But between iOS and android, it is all perception. The reason why iOS appears fast is that it has really smooth UI animations. It gives the perception of fluidity and speed. But if you take the time to, well, time the apps from clicking on it to it being ready for use, you would notice that there isn;t much separating the two.
The reason why iOS UI animation is faster is as soon as the screen detects touch input, the OS pauses everything to prioritize UI rendering. In android, UI animation is given normal priority. Meaning it’s about as important as that song you’re downloading. Lag will show if you have a lot of processes running. It stutters a bit before smoothing out. But from experience it doesn’t cause apps to open any slower than iOS. As with everything apple, it’s all about perception.
Each OS has it’s strengths and weaknesses, even WP7. Although for now, WP7 has more weaknesses than strengths. hahaha! j/k.
no..no..no…
I own a 3gs and an S2. The iPhone 3gs is NOT at par with S2′s performance even when running iOS5 against ICS. Both in pure hardware and OS performance. I will concede some apps and features of iOS will beat S2 handsdown IF the comparison was between an iPhone 4S and an S2. 3gs is showing its age there is no denying that.

dammit stop spamming yugatech with your own copy and paste blog site! nobody gives a shit about your blogs, BTW
Yeah specs does not matter
err why are we riding cars instead of kalesa in the first place?
LOLOL
honestly, it really depends on the user. im with both sides since i have an iTouch and an old Galaxy S. Android and iOS both have the apps naman, and over the same wifi network browsing the web is equally fast. at kay @gurinne, its just plain idiotic to call iPhone users na dpendent sa magulang nnila. Maybe marami siyang kakilalang ganun, pero that doesn’t mean every apple user is like that.
@Jacob at least somebody like him gets his facts straight before they start illogically calling anybody “fandroids” or “apple sheep” just because they use those products.
@urbandictionary yes its true that apple almost always tries to fool its customers by adding some useless stuff like Siri on the 4S as opposed to the iPhone 4, but its up to the consumer naman kung magtatanga-tangahan silang bilin ang almost the same na product.
I suggest sa Yugatech FB fanpage kayo mag-away para mas masaya! :)
The truth with regards to “apple fads” is that Samsung gave the best smart phone and was reviewed THOROUGHLY then given the crown to be the best phone of 2011 and 2012 and that’s the Samsung Galaxy S2 THAT should whose the greatest product producer of all time. ( and besides what’s inside your Iphones are SAMSUNG MATERIALS ) beat that!
don’t worry bro, baka typographical error lang yan.
ang saya magbasa ng mga comment war between ios vs android w/ch is not the topic ,but for me i’ll go with htc one x.peace.
aray nman. ang sasakit mga salita. wag naman insultuhin ang mga tao. pero personal opinion lang. nakahawak na ako ng apple and android at mas sulit pag gastushan ang Android.. very limited ang kakayahan ng apple. compare niyo pa lang ung price with the specs and materials na saan gawa ang smartphone lugi ka na sa iphone. at puwede ba itigil niyo ung super galing ni steve jobs . Una sa lahat ang apple pina mukha lang nila na si steve jobs ang nag imbento ng halos lahat. katulad na ng siri. pinakita ng apple na sila ang pinaka unang nag karoon nun. parang wtf?? ang tagal na nun eh. dinaan lang sa ads kaya sumikat. sorry ah pero ung mga bumibili ng apple eh uto uto. di niyo naman kasalan pero sana aminin niyo at subukan niyo mag android. mapapanganga kayo katulad ko. tignan niyo ang apple walang ginawa kundi mandemanda ng ibang tatak. sabi nga ng co founder ng apple. masama ang apple dahil pinapakita nila sa tao na dapat mong bilhin ang prudukto nila ng napaka mahal.. kahit ata ang mga pulubi sasusunod mag kaka apple na. di maganda nadudulot nito sa ibang bansa. at mas nakaktulong ang android sa mga taong gusto maging programmer. dahil open source. di katulad ng apple napaka swakaw. ang apple naman sa una lang maganda eh tapos ano sunod? jail break? pag tapos ng jail break ano? i uunjail break para makapag update? tapos jail break uli. hangang ganun lang. so good luck sa mga decisions niyo. di ko kayu iniinsulto sinasabi ko lang ang napansin kong ktotohanan.. Android will take over the world 12/21/2012!!!!
Wow ang pnguusapn d2 htc one x and samsung s3, bkt pero iphone ung pnguusapn..:)
