HTC One X vs. Samsung Galaxy S3 — Let’s Quad Core!

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.

    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!!!!

    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!
