One X or something else? (New to Android)

[cafleming1987]

Hi there guys,

I am getting fed up with the lack of LTE, and the small screen of my iPhone 4. I realize that there will most likely be a LTE iPhone soon, but my IP4 is on it's last leg here (not to mention I am impatient as they come). Now, I am looking at the One X. I am a little worried moving to Android, mainly because of battery life. I don't know much about it, so please bare with me.

I can make it from 6am-9pm on a single charge with my IP4, is that realistic with the One X? I am connected to WiFi 99% of the time, and don't really play games on my phone anymore. Mainly just web browsing, texting, and the occasional short phone call. I am also looking at the Galaxy S3, but I want to make sure I have a good experience with the OS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Considering the type of use you've described, you might make it to the end of the day on the One X battery. If it's that critical you should consider the Galaxy S3 as its battery is bigger. The Galaxy S3 also has the Touchwiz skin instead of Sense 4, so there will be some visual differences as well.

As for coming from iOS, it depends on your approach to tech in general. Those who like to tinker and customize seem to appreciate Android the most. I'd say head to an AT&T store to play with the One X to see what you think.

Galaxy S III also has a removable battery so there's a plus.
