If you ask us to choose between the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S III, we’d definitely pick the HTC. We’re HTC fanboys – that’s just the way it is. But what would happen if you asked an HTC sales rep to choose between the two phones? Naturally, they’d pick the HTC One X (if they want to keep their jobs), but they may also pull out their new “special packs” comparison sales sheet which boasts all the virtues of HTC’s flagship phone and how it outclasses its closest competitor.
We’re certainly not going to argue with HTC when they claim that the HTC One X “feels slimmer and looks way better” than the Samsung Galaxy S III, but we’re not quite with them when they say that the S III’s display is “dull.”
Comparison sales sheets like the ones pictures below are nothing new. I worked in sales for several years and we were always equipped with documents like these which showed how our products stacked up against the competition. Unfortunately, HTC’s sales sheets go a little too far in some areas and don’t represent all the facts.
Below are some of the highlights from HTC’s comparison of the One X and Galaxy S III.

Is the HTC One X better than the Samsung Galaxy S III? On paper, it’s too close to call. They both feature amazing technology and are considered to be the two best phones so far this year. It’s really a judgement call by the consumer, but really comes down the handset availability. HTC gambled a little by launching the HTC One X as an exclusive on AT&T, but Samsung seems to have played its cards right by getting launch commitments from 5 major U.S. carriers.
It’ll be hard to beat Samsung in sales, but that doesn’t change how HTC feels about the HTC One X.

yea, that may be going too far. As far as I can tell, it’s dead heat. I personally prefer S-LCD2 and the form factor of HTC One X, but these are somewhat subjective opinions that are negated by SIII’s other qualities. I feel like the non-expandable storage and non-removable battery. really hurt HTC One X’s place as a “perfect phone”.
These are all matter of personal opinion, however giving the opportunity
and the MEANS to any of the two phones I will go for Samsung GSIII since it has a removable battery and expandable memory.the Galaxy S III camera is definitely the superior camera.I heard that Galaxy S III and iPhone 4S used the same 8M pixel image senor from Sony.read another briefed comparison of the One X and Galaxy S III
Please put back the sd card and the removable battery. It’s Not the right time when u are battling sales and ever in court with Apple.
