HTC One X vs Galaxy S3, got both need to return 1

I can't decide which one to keep. I love the build quality and screen of the HOX but the S3 has more wow factor.

I get that the HTC will probably get Jelly Bean faster too but the S3 has a removable battery and can accept an SD memory card.

Typing is easier for me on the HOX but I like the calender more on the S3.

The cameras are about equal.

1GB ram vs. 2GB ram on the S3.

Anyone else facing this decision?
 
Instead of the pro's weigh up a list of the cons because after a few weeks those are the things that are going to irritate you and make you wish you had kept the other device.
 
I've never used either one, but I would lean towards the One X. The camera and display are considered the best of any phone on the market, and I love the build and form factor of htc phones. I dont need the removable battery and sd card slot and I doubt the extra gig of ram will mean much. One X for me. It's great that android phones offer such hard choices to make. There's so many amazing devices out there.
 
It's a win win decision, so don't fret! Either way you go, you end up with a fast device with great battery life. I'm with Sprint, and every cycle there's the battle between Samsung and HTC for the best premium device. Samsung always has the superior spec (Hero vs Moment, Evo4G vs Epic, Evo3D vs E4GT) yet HTC always seems to have the superior overall device, certainly the more reliable better supported one. That was the main deciding factor for me choosing the LTEvo over the S3. Your doing your own side by side, which is the best thing you can do. Regardless of what anyone here has to say, your opinion matters most in this decision.

Best of luck with your new toy whichever you finally choose!
 
Only good reason I can think of to get the HTC One X is just to be different as everybody seems to have a Galaxy S3 right now, there selling like hot cakes.

But at the same time with some many people having the Galaxy S3 phone envy could be an issue. :p

That's a stretch....

Reasons for SGS3:

-Removable Battery/Storage
-2GB Memory
-Additional Features (S Voice, etc.)
-Slightly higher benchmark performance
-TouchWiz?

Reasons for HOX:

-Display
-Exterior Design
-Sense?
