On grounds of sheer
specifications, the Samsung Galaxy SIII isn’t the most impressive. Its
specification is at par with the competition (the HTC One X), but has overall
left us a little disappointed, courtesy the plastic finish. The HTC One X
wasn’t just impressive overall but its build though plasticky, felt sturdy.
Besides, the Display is a HD Super AMOLED without the “Plus”. That’s right, the
screen has a PenTile display which
looses points when compared to the IPS display that is housed in the iPhone 4S
and the HTC One S. Don’t get us wrong, the display isn’t bad by any means. It’s
just that it isn’t the best out there. But still I think HTC will be the loser as all the features One X has, Samsung Galaxy SIII already has that plus addition of new features like S-Beam, S-Voice, AllSharePlay, wireless charging and eyeball tracking.
