HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3

According to the latest rumors about the release date of Samsung Galaxy S3 that, the new Samsung Galaxy phone will come out within two weeks. Although Samsung hasn’t revealed any official information about it, it is already causing troubles for its competitors like HTC One X which is also said to be released at May 6th, 2012.

Related news say HTC shares dropped over 6% on Tuesday on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the latest earnings report recorded a 70% year on year drop in profits for Q1 2012 and a 35% year on year decline in revenues for HTC, which seems to have been enough to convince the firm’s brass that they need to drive the company towards some sort of change.

Then, why Samsung Galaxy S3 makes HTC investors uneasy? Perhaps, first of all, we need to get to know both of them, what’s the difference between them.

Comparison between Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X

Processor and CPU:

The international version of the HTC One X will sport the Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC, meaning that, at a CPU level, you’ll get a quad-core ARM A9-based processor clocked at 1.5GHz, accompanied by a fifth companion core designed to help run tasks that don’t require full speed.

While, rumors and leaks reported different clock speeds for the CPU inside the Galaxy S3, it is certain that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will use a quad-core ARM A9-based Exynos 4212 chip designed by Samsung themselves. Notably, one of those leaks claims that the Exynos 4212 will be clocked at a staggering 1.8GHz.

RAM and Storage:

The International HTC One X will feature 32GB of storage space, the same amount rumored to be available for the S3. While the One X doesn’t feature an SD card expansion slot (something expected to be available on the S3), the 25GB of free cloud storage offered by the HTC-DropBox partnership more than makes up for the slight inconvenience.

When it comes to the amount of RAM available, rumor has it that the S3 will be equipped with 2GB of RAM, double the amount inside the One X.

Display

The HTC One X features a 4.7 inch Super LCD 2 display running at a native 720p resolution. While, the most recent rumor points out that Samsung will use a 4.6 inch SAMOLED HD Plus display running at a 1280 by 720 pixel resolution on the S3

OS and Extra

Both the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3 will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of Android available.

When it comes to the cameras, the S3 is expected to be equipped with a 12MP camera, but this is the section the HTC One X is likely to dominate thanks to the new image processing technology HTC have announced for all smartphones in the One series. In addition, the HTC One X also features Beats Audio integration, meaning it will surely offer top-end MP3 playback quality.

Play video on Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X

Samsung Galaxy S3 is expected to be equipped with a 12MP which can record 1080p/60fps video, while HTC One X has a 8MP camera which can record 1080p/30fps video. Both of them support playback AVI, 3GP and MP4 video.
