Yes ladies and Gentlemen I'm talking about the Samsung Galaxy S3 and The HTC One X
The wait is finally over. Samsung unveiled the awaited top end Android phone – a successor to the king of smartphones from last year, the Samsung galaxy S II. The new phone christened as Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with tons of new exciting features. So will this top notch product from the biggest smart phone maker in the market beat the other top end droids in the market, such as HTC One X? In today’s article, I am comparing the two highly specced rivals, the S3 and the One X.
Display & Size:
Dimension wise, the phones don’t have much difference. The S3 is thin like its predecessor, measuring 8.6 mm. Its footprint measures 136.6 * 70.6 mm. The One X on the other hand measures 134.4 mm lengthwise, 69.9 mm breadthwise and 8.9 mm in thickness. The S3 weighs around 133 g while the One X weighs about the same – 130 g. The Galaxy S3 has introduced a new level in the Super AMOLED display. It sports a 4.8 inch HD screen with a resolution of 1280 * 720 pixels. The stunning graphics, clear text and colorful images leaves us impressed. The One X too has a huge display of 4.7 inch: super IPS LCD 2 touchscreen of the same resolution as that of the S3’s screen. Both screens are protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass technology.
Operating System:
Both phones have an Android platform. The version in both phones is the latest Ice Cream Sandwich (v4.0). The S3 is powered by a quad core Exynox chipset processor clocked at 1.4 GHz. The One X on the other hand is powered by a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset processor but with a higher clock speed of 1.5 Ghz.
Memory:
The S3 comes in 3 models based on internal capacity – 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB of storage space. The phone also accommodates 1 GB RAM. The One X on the other hand, has 32 GB internal space out of which 26 GB is user available and 1 GB RAM. The S3 has a micro SD slot that can house up to 64 GB. The One X on the other hand, does not possess a micro SD card slot. The S3 is definitely the winner in this aspect.
Camera:
The phones have 8 MP sensors in the rear with some amazing features such as zero shutter lag exposure, LED flash, auto focus, simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, etc. Video recording is done at a quality of 1080p and a frame rate of 30 fps. The video capturing feature in the One X has many other facilities such as stereo sound, video stabilization, etc. The S3 has a 1.9 MP shooter in the front and a 720p video too as its secondary camera. The secondary camera in the One X consists of a 1.3 MP camera and a 720p video.
Connectivity:
The phones have GSM and HSDPA bands for 2G and 3G connectivity. As for 4G network, the S3 has LTE (regional) facility. The phones have EDGE and GPRS features. Wireless network is enabled via Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ b/ g/ n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, etc. The phones can also function as Wi-Fi hotspots. An advanced and better version of Bluetooth, v4.0 is available in the phones. The phones also come with NFC chips.
Battery Life:
The S3 has a Li-Ion battery rated at 2100 mAh. The One X has a Li-Po battery rated at 1800 mAh.
Price:
The One X is available around $680. The S3’s price is expected to be around $700.

That was the entire point of the article. At the time of writing, these were the two best phones. In terms of power, the One X barely beats the S3. The primary cameras are almost identical, although it sounds like the One X has more technical bonuses I don't know much about, and the S3's front camer isn't quite as good. Or maybe vice versa. Now I think there's something else slightly better,but idk. And I don't think I want HTC anyway, just based on personal aesthetic preference.
ReplyDeleteYes both phones mentioned above were the most powerful in terms of hardware specifications, but currently Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is packed with the most powerful CPU and with 2GB it has the lead, read more here:
