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.

Well I hope this helps.

BWAHAHAHA LG LTE2? Are you kidding me?
do you even know the specs of that phone? If you did then you must have read its CDMA ONLY nyahaha and its not for GSM networks.
goodluck using that LTE2 and it to be honest it only boasts of 2GB RAM, after that well….its got 2GB of RAM!!! ahahahahah
Better add the Meizu phone in the mix, its quad core and i read it beat the benchmarks scores of the SIII
that phone on the right…its just expensive and popular lol. thats all i can say

i get a phone that does wonders and not make you wonder if you spent your money right hahaha
its not about brand, its common sense
kikomancher says:
Both phones are great. Aesthetic wise, parehong may laban (pero mas gusto ko ung design ng One X) Sa specs, talagang ok (lamang ng SG3 yung expandable memory) pero halos pareho lang. :) Actually, kung may budget ako, malilito ako kung alin sa 2 yung choice ko. :)

Tried S2 and 4S.. Wala parin sinabi si S2 ang tingin ko ang kamatch ng performance ni 4S ay si S3.. tska android’s battery life sucks!!! If many people complain about the battery life of iPhone panu pa kaya ung mga android users na maglaro lang ng 1 game for 30 minutes halos makalahati na full bat ng android phones nila (much worst para sa level entry android phones)… my iPhone’s battery life lasts for 2 and half days while S2 only lasts a day so anu sinabi ng mga android fans… kaya galit kayu sa apple kc wala kayu pambili ng magandang phone un ang pinakamatimbang na logic dun… Di rin social climber mga iphone users dahil iba tlga ang experience kapag hawak mo na ang iphone.. and the freaking value ng android phone after 6 months tapyas ng 10K ang value ang iphone kht after 6 months mga 4k lang ang awas sa presyo depende pa un sa demand.. iphone gawa sa glass at bakal, android gawa sa plastik…. weigh in both sides di porket iPhone social climber na try mo bumili ng bakal at glass hndi ung plastik para malaman mo.. iPhone’s dual core cheap is equal to Android’s quad core 1.3 to 1.5 GHZ. 512 Ram ni apple is equal to 1 GB ram ni android.. Camera ni iPhone na 8MP is equal to 12MP ni android… compare nalang kayu iPhone has the best camera resolution on smartphones.

covi says:
The sgs3 form factor seems like a rehash of sgs and galaxy nexus. If on porma alone, the htc one x’s polycarbonate finish and unibody design looks and feels better. The size, shape, weight and texture fits perfectly on my big hands. Very scandinavian, forward thinking design.
I have had a fair share of amoleds from sgs2 and galaxy nexus as well. The color saturation on the htc one x is just right and refreshing. not too saturated bordering on the psychedelic.
The new touchwiz for the sgs3 is an anticipation, as the touchwiz on sgs2 does not seem to give justice to android 4.0. And im pleasingly surprised with the functionality of sense 4.0, though i have experienced lag when transitioning to other skins or wallpaper. Still waiting a bit perhaps for future ugrades on the sense ui before i start to root and try out a stable cyanogen 9.
Yup, an ex sgs2, ex-galaxy nexus and now htc one x user here.
Name: says:
i will definitely buy sgs3.. i absolutely like the much larger version of amoled… in hd… samsung screens are really good in this department..very fine details.
another cool feature that i really like is the camera although it is still 8 mp..but it has now a 0 zero shutter lag and a burst mode…also a best photo suggestion system… really thumbs up to this one.. little by little they are trying to integrate real camera-like features which is for me is really cool.. also worth mentioning is the front camera that can capture and record 720p video…
i also like the responsiveness of sgs lineups compared to htc phones.. htc wins with eye candy ui hands down to that but sacrifice speed/performance like bigtime..
but on external design dept..htc is the clear winner here. they really have the best gorgeus phones in the market… meanwhile samsung goes much simpler plain design…
but i stated earlier. i choose sgs3 bcoz of much improved ui.camera.display.and new features like smart stay.direct call.
etc etc.

ill go for sgs3. a pretty much snappier phone. an external battery. then more storage cap that come in 16 32 and 64gb of internal storage. plus an expandable memory thru the use of micro sd… can u imagine how much storage can u get from that.
and also a 4.8 amoled screen..HD… this is the greatest factor i think that attracts people in buying the samsung phones..they absolutely the best in creating visually crisp fine displays…
and also worth mentioning is zero lag camera with a burst mode… almost camera like..

Paul says:
The SGIII will come with ICS 4.04 as they say.
I am going to get the Marble white one. Its good Samsung chose to stick with replaceable batteries, specially for people on the go. I bought Anker batteries (1900mAh) for my SII and i dont need to charge on the phone anymore.
The expansion slot is a big welcome, up to 64gb at that.
If the latest ICS release (DXLP9) is the best ICS so far, i wonder how 4.04 will be on this machine.
some say the design is ugly, some admire it. For me i like it. So perhaps it depends on individual taste.
Stop the war, each and everyone has their own taste. You cant be everyone and everyone cant be you so if you favor one brand so be it. We dont need to start bashing other brand users just because our brand just got trumped in terms of specs etc.
If you are happy with what you have so be it.
If you are happy with Android brands, good for you. If you are happy with the iphone then good for you too.
Basta nagagawa ng phone niyo yung gusto niyo ayos na. di na kailangan magpataasan ng ihi.

Looks like another case of iSheep disease.
Pag inihulog ang dalawa mula sa isang lamesa, ang iphone wasak-wasak agad at itatapon na, ang isang android phone gaya ng samsung, scratches lang makukuha…
Of course you don’t know that, you’re too dumb. I won’t even argue with you because, well, you’re too dumb.
JYEAH! R says:
Let’s see,
1. exynos>tegra 3
2. has expansion slot>no expasion slot
3. 2100mAh>1800mAh
4. user accessible battery>not user-accessible battery
5. Gorilla Glass 2>Gorilla Glass
6. Android 4.0.4>Android 4.0.3 lol
7. A bit tie on all others
8. Design is subjective (I think the S3 is beautiful and minimalistic)
OK, I made up my mind…iPhone lol!
I’m kidding iSheeps. I think S3 is better.
Kiel says:
a lot of trolling going on. sheeps and fanboys. for gawd’s sake this is supposed to be about sgs3.
well i just wanna share my 2 cents and here it goes.
-hardware-
due to the hype the media and fanboys stirred, it’s quite a disappointment.
*no + suffix, just super amoled. it’d have been an eye candy on par or even surpass one x’s screen
*ram less than 1.5gb
*dual core exynos 5250 would’ve been total future proof rather than quad 4212 which is a not a bad SoC either but its just not a winning chip
*good improvement on the juice department. 2100 mAh with exynos 4212 which is 50% more power efficient than 4210. and to think that its just 0.1mm thicker than its predecessor despite the capacity buff is just fantastic.
*NFC well definitely a plus
*bluetooth and gps buff :)
*camera sensor buff + features = win
(just wanna make clear that it’s not all about megapixels there are other factors to consider for a good quality picture. what would you choose 18mp dslr or 42 mp nokia pureview, nothing against nokia pureview just using for comparison since its the only camera phone with outrageously pumped megapixels)
*gorilla glass 2 (sgs3 heads up u’ll be in a lot of droptest as a standard)
-software and features-
*ics 4.0.4 and new touchwiz based on the demos imo its a wow (buttery smooth)
*pop up. just android showing one of its true multitasking capabilities
*s voice. looks promising (dont even dare say its a mock up of siri. know the dates before reacting)
*dont wanna mention the other features which are totally amazing and game changer. post already too long.
-looks-
*inferior to one x
*better looking than sgs2
*they should lose the home button imo i like gnex better.
anyway still waiting for actual reviews once its out and going to decide if im going to ditch my sgs2 for this. (litening rom) :D

Processor – Tie
RAM – Tie
LTE – SGS3
Price – ??(nagtanong ako sa north edsa 28k lang yung One X)
eto yung mga tinitignan ko sa smartphone. For me oks na sana yung One X in every aspect except that ambaba ng hd space nya, baka 24gb lang user available. tapos baka lumiit pa pag nag upgrade sa android 5.0. di ko trip itsura at kulay nung sgs3. pero killer yung LTE nung SGS3. hayst may pagka bitin yung one x. may pagka pangit naman sgs3. wala na bang iba pls. sana man lang expandable yung memory ni one x at may lte. or sana ilabas internationally yung At&t version ni one x. no match yung quadcore sa dualcore na gamit ng at&t sa benchmarking test.

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

iTobiel says:
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.

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!

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!!!!
