The Samsung Galaxy S III is Samsung’s flagship Android smartphone which was announced recently. HTC’s flagship smartphone is the new HTC One X, and if you are wondering how the two devices compare, have a look at the video below.
The video comparison of the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S III was put together by the guys over at Phone Arena, and the video lasts for about 15 minutes so we get a good look at both handsets.
Design and Build Quality
When it comes to design and build quality, both the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X have their unique strengths. The Galaxy S III features a sleek, pebble-like design with a plastic body that makes it lightweight and comfortable to hold. On the other hand, the HTC One X boasts a unibody polycarbonate design that feels more premium and solid in hand. The choice between the two may come down to personal preference: do you prefer the lightweight feel of the Galaxy S III or the sturdier build of the One X?
Display and Performance
The display is another critical area where these two smartphones shine. The Samsung Galaxy S III comes with a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. This results in vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption. The HTC One X, however, features a slightly smaller 4.7-inch Super LCD2 display with the same resolution. While the colors may not be as saturated as those on the Galaxy S III, the One X offers excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles.
Performance-wise, both devices are powerhouses. The Galaxy S III is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 4412 quad-core processor clocked at 1.4 GHz, coupled with 1 GB of RAM. This ensures smooth multitasking and a lag-free experience. The HTC One X, on the other hand, is equipped with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, also clocked at 1.5 GHz, and 1 GB of RAM. Both devices handle demanding applications and games with ease, but the choice of processor might influence your decision if you have a preference for either Samsung’s or NVIDIA’s technology.
Camera and Software
In terms of camera capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy S III features an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera. The camera app is packed with features like burst mode, HDR, and the ability to record 1080p video. The HTC One X also sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. It includes features such as ImageSense technology, which enhances image quality, and the ability to capture photos while recording video.
Both smartphones run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but with different custom user interfaces. The Galaxy S III uses Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, which offers a range of unique features like Smart Stay, Direct Call, and S Voice. The HTC One X, on the other hand, comes with HTC’s Sense 4.0 UI, which provides a clean and intuitive user experience with features like HTC BlinkFeed and HTC Zoe.
