Hiya, just wondering if anyone who owns either of these phones, or is knowledgeable and neutral can give me some advice on which is better. Currently I have an iPhone 4 which comes out of contract in mid August. Been browsing and seen a few offers around that are quite tempting in the "half price sale" thing at the car phone warehouse. The two phones that stand out as similar to my iPhone are the HTC One X and the Galaxy S3.
My main uses are;
- Web browsing
- Music player (I like the fact that the S3 can have an SD card of up to 64GB or so I've been told)
- Some gaming, nothing major purely when I'm bored on the train or on dinner at work
- Taking pictures, used to do it regularly but nice to have a decent camera.
I've played a bit on them in store. I preferred the more solid feel of the HTC than the S3, but at the same time I can appreciate that having the SD card expansion and a change of battery can be very appealing features. Both had excellent screens, though I think the HTC edged it for me. Only thing that is making me weary about the HTC is that I remember reading about the HTC desire getting dust under the screen, so is this an issue with the One X or have them managed to get rid of it?
Overall I suppose whichever I go for will be decent phones. But it would be my first android. Are they difficult to use, set up etc? Some people say that they are, but I'm ok technical wise.
So what is people's experiences of these two phones? And which do you think is the better one?
Thanks
