Here's a quick glance at what each phone has in its favor:
HARDWARE – Design and Build Quality
The One X sits at 134.4mm x 69.9mm x 8.9, while Galaxy S III is a tad bigger at 136.6 mm x 70.6 mm x 8.6 mm. The droids weigh 130g (One X) and 133g (SIII) respectively, though it isn’t something you could tell apart just by holding them.
Encased in a polycarbonate unibody and sported by a matte finish, the One X is one heck of a looker, with either Black or Gray tint to go with.
With the S III, you can either go Pebble Blue or Marble White. Inspired by nature, the S III has ecstatic curves molded into a hyperglaze finish which some might feel is on the “plasticky” side of things.
Advantage –HTC One X
DISPLAY Properties
Let’s be clear here, both the HTC One X and Galaxy SIII sport massive screen estate but not at the cost of compromising how compact they would really feel.
The HTC One X offers a grand 4.7” Super IPS LCD screen at 720p HD resolution. On the other hand S III has a gorgeous 4.8” super AMOLED screen at 720p HD resolution.
Pixel density of both phones is nearly alike – 312ppi (One X) vs. 306ppi (S III). But the S III edges here, AMOLED does justice to outdoor lighting over an IPS LCD screen.
Advantage — Galaxy S III
PROCESSING Power
When it comes down to sheer horsepower, these beasts are evenly matched. Galaxy S III ups the ante with its super-fast quad core 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos processor, two times faster than the Galaxy SIIs’ dual core. Its Pop-up-Play feature that showcases picture-in-picture windowed HD playback is a prime example of what feats this phone accomplishes.
The HTC One X provides a quad core NVIDIA Tegra3 1.5 GHz chipset that seamlessly walks through intensive apps, easy multitasking and streaming 1080p HD videos without flinching or flickering. Even against a barrage of graphic-intensive, processor-heavy applications, it holds its own.
Advantage — Galaxy S III
BATTERY
With great power comes greater battery back-up. Super phones like these with quad-core processors and gargantuan displays need that extra power to cover that extra ground. The HTC One X packs an 1800 mAh battery optimum for everyday use, while Galaxy S III comes with a big 2100 mAh battery. The S III’s giant 2100 mAh steals the show.
Mind you, the One X has a fifth low power core for stuff that doesn’t involve a whole lot of CPU processing. A neat little feature by the Taiwanese company, save that the Galaxy S III clinches the deal here — that extra 300 mAh should surely come in handy.
Advantage — Galaxy S III
CAMERA and Video Recording
Both flagships carry an 8MP camera capable of shooting 720p and 1080p video recording with an LED flash at the back.
Samsung cuts no corners with its cameras and the S III is a prime example of that. The S III introduces BestShot, a burst mode, which takes 8 photos in a row and picks out the best based on lighting, blur and noise.
The One X’s ImageSense adds effects to photos and does well under low light, while the S III keeps low noise in outdoors with little oversaturation. The front cameras differ by 0.6 MPs; One X carries a 1.3MP snapper while the S III sports a 1.9 MP.
To go with either one is a matter of taste than tech.
Advantage— Galaxy SIII (thanks to its features)
SOFTWARE — Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
It is all a great matter of an astute “Sense”, of appeal, or of “Touch” aesthetics over technicalities that tell them apart.
The Sense 4.0 on the HTC One X adds a new dimension to the critically acclaimed Android OS.
The Sense UI is a benchmark — this is how an Android should look like. Samsung Galaxy S III shows its new teeth with TouchWiz UI. Smart Stay is a screen-dimming tech that tracks eye movement, Direct Call that dials the person who you’re either messaging or looking up under
contacts, and S-Voice, Samsung’s take on Apple’s SIRI.
The S-beam, an NFC-like file transfer application, is an exclusive addition to S III’s entourage of innovative new add-ons.
The TouchWiz could be the new trend — this is how an Android should function.
Advantage—Galaxy SIII
