If you are ready to pay that kinda money on a mobile phone then why can't you add a few thousand bucks more and get an iphone ?
Just my opinion.I still believe no matter if a device comes up with even 10 cores and 10GB RAM android will still lag.
(For f**k sake Don't come up with another android - iOS discussion please !!..:D..It was just my personal suggestion :D)
Also I'm pretty sure battery life is gonna be joke on that device for sure. :D

Won't get that phone even if I every spend that much money on a mobile. There are better phones which do everything you want at half the price or even less :wink:

Absolutely right. Quad core on a phone is unnecessary. Software should be more optimised. I own a 3 inch 11k phone and it does everything needed. In fact I am writing this post for my phone using tapatalk.

Frankly speaking I had a thought of buying was not completely sure but was waiting for reviews. but with

1. very expensive. I thought it will be launch at 38K then I will buy few weeks later when it will drop to 34K near to it's competitor..

but reading and seeing polls I won't buy at all.. after spending so much bucks I want at least some one to appreciate my phone rather then vomiting on it :lol:

I was much more looking for one High end best phone as I am not spending for another phone in next 3 years at least so wanna last till that

Already this ugly phone has got 9 million pre orders, whats the point of discussing now.
I don't know why the people are not opting for One X.
The mobile users are increasing day by day but still they can't decide which is best.

main purpose of forum is to not follow numbers but go for actual facts.

that 9 million pre-order news got me to start this thread..

people not opting for HTC I guess because of non removable battery and no external card..

and mostly because it is HTC.. every city does not have service center.

these are hardly any big issue. 29Gb or whatever is available to user is more than enough for most, if not all. iPhone have same amount of memory. sells like nothing ever seen. Why not One X?

and mostly because it is HTC.. every city does not have service center.

this is true for India. actually outside India, Apple is the main reason. Their patents are causing problem for all Android manufactures. And HTC has already faced bans. Import is hampered. So most carriers went with S3. Made by lawyers. safe to sell :p

truly said because with my experience i bought a htc salsa...nearly one and a half months ago its screen broke because of dropping from stairs...i searched if there is a service center in allahabad and there was none..Some of my friends told that there is an authorized service center...from that day i gave my cell and they haven't repaired it till now...so beware:twisted:

I'm sure those 9 million buyers would regret later. You know what...some buyers are leaning towards S3 bcoz it is the fastest Quad Core Phone available in the market but they fail to realize that HTC One X maybe slightly slower but still there are no such apps or games that can slow down Tegra 3. Choosing S3 over One X is like opting Hyundai Santa Fe over brilliantly engineered Toyota Fortuner only coz the later has lesser Bhp under the hood.

Cons of S3:
1)Ugly Design
2)Ugly and boring TouchWiz.I like Htc sense or sonys time (its called time scape i guess ?)

You got the title wrong!
The actual title is "Samsung Galaxy S3 display, does it really sucks?"
In fact your link says...
It’s not the most sharpest display in the market but it has the best colors, brightness, and contrast. It has pixel density over 300ppi, so you won’t notice any pixels with naked eye and it’s also one of the most efficient displays out there.

GSM Arena compares the two quad-core super phones
Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III vs. HTC One X: Alien vs. Predator - GSMArena.com
according to this
While S3 looks are no match to One X polycarbonate body, S3s Camera clearly betters One X. Battery tests also indicate S3 has the edge, power saving core Vs pentile display . As usual S3 also has slight edge in benchmarks, but it also slightly better audio quality.

what is surprising however is they say S3s has improved a lot in software department
HTC have always received credit for their Sense UI, which has emerged, deservedly, as the standard-setting custom skin for Android. We were duly impressed with the One X in our review and called it the best smartphone experience to date - in terms of both visuals and features.

Samsung's flagship, on the other hand, is late to the market but the Koreans turned the delay in their favor. Instead of rushing their most important device to launch, they took the time to respond to every advantage the opposition had to offer.

To be fair, Samsung's TouchWiz did need to catch up with the HTC Sense in some departments and the new lockscreen on the Galaxy S III is a prime example. Not only is it visually appealing, it matches all the functionality of its Sense counterpart and goes even further. The new tap-to-hold-and-rotate-landscape routine that unlocks the phone and starts the camera isn't something you'd use daily but it's there to show that Samsung would not settle for second-best.

As for the rest, these are two Ice-cream Sandwich packages that are very similar in terms of core functionality. Even some of the added features are the same, like the Apt-X audio codec for high-quality stereo sound over Bluetooth. The burst shot, HDR and the ability to simultaneously take photos and videos are available in both smartphones too. So is the wireless HDMI connectivity (Samsung AllShare Cast & HTC Media Link HD).


Normally, the software comparison would've boiled down to deciding between Sense and TouchWiz but Samsung are tipping the scales in their favor with an impressive set of extra features, some of which are exclusive to the Galaxy S III.

Of course, not all of them are deciders. The S-Voice is a direct take on Siri, but it really fails to live up to expectations, while the NFC-based media sharing over S Beam has limited application for now. Pop-up play will rarely be used while Buddy photo share borders on useless. For more details on these added features you can check out our dedicated Galaxy S III preview.

The ones we're most impressed with are Smart Stay and Direct call. Direct Call lets you dial a number by lifting the phone up to your ear while browsing contacts or reading/composing a message. Smart stay uses the front camera (most likely) to detect whether you're looking at the screen before switching to standby. You no longer have to worry about the screen dimming or shutting off when you're right in the middle of something.

There are some new gesture controls too, while all the HTC One X has to offer in terms of added features is Beats Audio. Of course, when it comes to the core ICS functionality, the two phones have everything a flagship needs to have. The Galaxy S III is way ahead in terms of extra add-ons but these features may not be equally relevant to all users.
either reviewer seems to biased against One X or S3 is really good.
here is the video comparision of S3 & One X by phonearena. again the reviewer favors S3.

People bashed S2 for its design too, it became the best selling smartphone of the yr
i dunno why Samsung goes on spewing out ugly cheap looking plasticky phones with such powerful hardware & capabilities. definitely there is no other single company out there now which can compete with Samsung manufacturing prowess in displays, processors etc but only if they got the design right.

I find the GSIII design very nice actually. I mean its not comparable to the HTC One S and X beauties... but its still good looking.
Its going to be soon when i have to opt for a new smartphone... and tbh, if i had the dough.. i would have gone for SIII over One X. But, instead, i am more interested in the One S now. Its got more than enough juice, awesome looks and body (totally owns SIII here), and just large enough for me to handle without fuss :). Seriously, i havent handled anything bigger than SII (barring Note), and anything bigger really wont be comfortable to use as a telephonic device for me!!!

The only trump card which Samsung had over Apple is lost. Way too overpriced phone IMO. 43k. Although I don't want to say it but the iPhone 4s which costs 1k more is more sensible purchase.

^Don't worry its already 38-39k on most online shops.
It will drop further in a week to 35-36k.
Samsung knows that no one is going to buy S3 @ 40k+

43k is actually including those free goodies which cost 3.5k.
So actual MRP would me more like 43-3.5k=39.5k
