I have the S3, and I love it. Never used HTC One X, but I'm sure it's a good phone. Personally, I would recommend the S3 since I have it.

Since I gather that your not in the US I would say S3 for the slightly better GPU. HTC sense is better than Touchwiz by a mile though

I suggest you try one yourself, either from someone else or from a shop with a demo unit. I have had the chance to see it first hand and at that resolution the pentile matrix isn't really a problem.

Vendor roms are generally all terrible. You can break out a bit with apps that override, but the vendor garbage still loads. It is disgusting. I love my Optimus G for many reasons, but right now there are no roms and that is why in some aspects, my Galaxy S was much, much better. http://gizmodo.com/5973073/an-iphone-lovers-confession-i-switched-to-the-nexus-4-completely

I'd nominate the Razr Maxx HD to be in the running. I've had it since november and i can go 2 days without charging with heavy use (music, plague inc/ fruit ninja.) However, battery is drained when in a dead zone or the phone cant get service. Its drained slower than my old thunderbolt, but it knocks the battery from a nice 97% to an 86-74% every day for me on my way to work (30 min of being in the subway)

The battery drainage is normal. Its fine if I turn off data when I'm underground. The different usage "Rules" really improve battery life when its in stand bye mode. I like the no bull approach to Jellybean.

depends on how you use it, if you use it purely as a phone, with great usability, iphone5.
but since thats not on your list of choices, id say the one x
i used to have the s2, and it was so buggy, especially with battery issues and os glitches, and i got really annoyed at samsung's touchwiz
my aunt recently got an s3, and got bogged down with problems pretty fast, so i would go for the one x

My personal preference is HTC, though i own a samsung phone but i'm looking to change.
HTC One X design, the HTC interface and support is way better then Samsung.

Because Apple is a great company that would do anything for their customers. And they are sooooo innovative.

Why would he want an inferior and pricier phone?
Or where you just trolling with that sarcasm of yours?

(I'm the odd one out in my family because I'm the only one with an HTC amongst legions of Samsung users)
I therefore can't suggest either of those Samsung models because HTC and me are best buddies. I've had my Desire HD for ages and it's yet to let me down or make me feel like it's not good enough for my constant usage. Finally I own something portable that gives me "all in one". So my suggestion is the latest HTC model, the powerful HTC One SV.

I found a strange thing:
--As of late 2012, a rising number of users reported that their Samsung Galaxy S3 units had died without warning approximately six months after activation, leaving the phones permanently unresponsive. Samsung has been replacing the mainboards of affected units under warranty.--
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Sudden_Death
I remember my mother having problems on her S2 in the recent passed year...I had to change the phone twice from Samsung. I hope that event won't repeat itself after the warranty expires.

Samsung already let out that they're releasing a firmware update that will prevent the S3 from dying unexpectedly. (Don't have the link on had at the moment though) Seems like it can be addressed through an update.

I know this is totally offtopic from STEAMGIFTS, but I really need your help :). I want to buy a new phone, and I can't decide which one to choose: The Samsung Galaxy S3 or the HTC One X.
I will start by presenting some facts:
•Both phones obviously have a lot of processing power, both are kind of the same at this part.
•The price does not matter that much, because they cost about the same.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, please look at this before you vote: http://i.imgur.com/F8crN.png
