Title: Upgrade quandry - Galaxy S3 or One X?
Post by: john87 on September 24, 2012, 12:32:08 pm

As you might have guessed I'm not much of an iphone fan, and have been looking at two quite similar phones for my upgrade due next month - the samsung galaxy S3 and the HTC one x.

I've read a few reviews and the pro's of the S3 (better/removable battery, memory card expandable) seem to outweigh the quality feel of the One X, which has a smaller-capacity bettery and no memory card slot. However being a previous HTC owner I prefer the way it does things and it feels more like a quality item IMO.

Has anyone else on here been in a similar position, own either or them, or am I the orange amongst apples?  :laugh:

I have a one x and one of my workmates has the S3. Both seem to do what you ask and very fast too. I like the HTC sense as does my mate, but he likes the fact it has an expandable memory and access to the battery. I don't worry about either as I will have it for two years and have NEVER USED THE FULL MEMORY OR CHANGED THE BATTERY. Both of us agree that the HTC looks and feels better too. Not a lot in it really and I guess it boils down to which you personally like. :smiley:

There's always one  :P

despite the one x's sealed battery and lack of memory card, I think that's the one I'll end up picking...I had a shot of the samsung yesterday and it just felt a little too big and a bit on the plasticky side. Ok it's screen's only 0.1" bigger than the HTC but it was enough to notice  :grin:

Sorry John, my brother has the S3 and it is bloody lovely.

I don't know about the HTC but any of today's flagship phones are amazing really.  :happy2:

Got the One X, tried the S3, didn't find it as instantly user friendly as the X.

I have the galaxy S3 and i can safely say that i wouldn't look back, it just make the Iphones look Cr*p. the graphics and the clarity of the phone are awesome.

I sold my on ex for a galaxy s3. They both function pretty much the same but the s3 feels a lot more refined in terms of quality and interface.
