Both are on different networks, so it all depends on which network you prefer. I have the DNA, but I have used the One X+ and they are both great phones. It all comes down to preference at this point. The DNA has a 5" screen, the OneX+ a 4.8". The DNA has a 1080p screen, which is absolutely gorgeous, but the OneX+'s 720p screen is gorgeous itself. Both have similar processors and I believe 2GB of RAM, so there isn't much different spec-wise. Battery-life wise, the OneX+ has a slight edge over the DNA, as it has a 2100maH battery vs 2020maH, and you have to account that the DNA is powering a bigger screen with a higher pixel density. The OneX+ is also a lot more ergonomically comfortable to hold, this partly due to the fact that AT&T doesn't demand visual specifications as much as Verizon does.
If AT&T's network wasn't so bogged down and garbage, I'd say go for the OneX+. The DNA is quick, and aside from a blue splotch in the middle of the screen, has the best display on a smartphone ever, hands down. If you're in an area where AT&T doesn't suck, grab the OneX+. If not, grab the DNA.

I haven't noticed any issues of force closing apps, but Android as an entire OS automatically resizes apps to fit any screen. They are not "optimized" for the device yet, as iOS users call it. As far as I'm concerned, I can do anything that I could with my Droid Razr.
I will say that typing in landscape mode on my DNA is so uncomfortable and awkward that I just resort to typing in portrait, using Swiftkey (which is astoundingly accurate and not frustrating at all.) In all honesty, just get the OneX+. Your hands will be happier. To me, happy hands are a better trade-off than pleased retinas.
Also, a few corrections to my OP:
The screen size for the OneX+ is 4.7", not 4.8". It also only has 1GB of RAM, not 2GB. The OneX+ has a slightly higher clocked processor (1.7ghz vs. DNA's 1.5ghz quad core.) If I were you, I would just go to both stores and play with both phones. That's what I tell everyone in my company to do when they ask me for a new phone recommendation.
Get the DNA. Its newer, has a much better chip set and will probably get more updates

I can't stress how much of this is untrue, lol. While it might go without saying who can say which chip is better, the OneX+ runs off the Tegra 3 clocked at 1.7ghz, which is slightly higher than the S4. From what I've read, the Tegra 3 handles multicore operations slightly better than the S4. The battery life is actually worse on the DNA than the OneX+ too, FYI.
As far as which is newer, the OneX+ came out around the same time the DNA did, can't really say that one is newer than the other.

Clock speed really means nothing. And while a few games will only run on tegra, but I have yet to find a game on my DNA that I can't run on highest settings flawlessly. Quite a few games will bottleneck on the lackluster ram in the 1x+
And the DNA runs on the brand new s4 pro, not the old s4. I would love to see the 1x+ get 5-6 hours of screen on time
Oh, and even sense will get choppy on the 1x+ due to the ram. On my DNA there is usually around a gig of ram being used(there's currently 1.2 being used) the 1x+ would start lagging like crazy if it got close to its 1 gig.

LTE
As far as I know DNA wont support 4g LTE on At&t. Its a big factor if you stay in an LTE supported area. Also LTE is not as crowded as HSPA+ so you can expect better speeds.
Like the other guys said, it comes down to the carrier you want to go with. I have the DNA, and my girlfriend has the One X+. I prefer my DNA over her One X+, for many reasons:
- The DNA is easier to pick up when placed on a flat surface, since the One X+'s sides are more curved while the DNA's are flatter.
- The DNA's vibration motor is near silent, while the One X+'s vibration motor is louder than the ring itself.
- The DNA seems to be faster and smoother overall.
- The S4 processor runs cooler than the Tegra 3 (from what I've observed on both our phones).
On the other hand:
- While the DNA's screen is of higher resolution than the One X+'s, the screen on the One X+ does seem to be brighter than the one on the DNA - not sure why this is.
- My girlfriend's One X+ seems to be slightly out-lasting my DNA usually in terms of battery; HOWEVER, I keep my data on all the time, with background sync on, and with several accounts actively syncing. She keeps her mobile data off unless she needs it - then she'll turn it on, use it, and turn the data back off again. She also uses WiFi whenever possible, as opposed to me never using WiFi.
Either way, both of them are good phones!

Actually, no.
The S4 PRO, found on the DNA, is superior in pretty much every way to the Tegra 3. Every benchmark and real world usage tests I've seen attests to this fact.
In addition, to the best of my knowledge the One X+ has only 1GB of RAM, NOT 2GB (like the DNA).
The One X+ is a great phone, and if you're on a carrier that has the One X+, its a no brainer. But on Verizon, the DNA rules without a doubt.

Arrg.
Thanks for the correction.
I take both the DNA I think it's better, better display and battery is worse than minimal by One X +.
Are both good phones but I think the better DNA
Did you consider waiting for the M7? Sounds like it'll receive a lot more support than either the HOX+ or DNA
Im assuming your using AT&T? If LTE is a must then One X+ is a great choice otherwise droid DNA is an overall better phone in my opinion. Everything from the better screen, better processor, 2 gigs of ram vs 1gig on the HOX+, according to gsmarena, the DNA has better battery life than the one X+ too.

Without a doubt, HTC and tmo have released some pretty amazing devices, Sensation, Amaze, Mytouch 4g slide, etc... Now, the One is coming to tmo, would you upgrade to it?
Here's my opinion, apperently, the model Us carriers will get will be dual-core, because apperently LTE is not compatible with quad core CPUs. I think one of the disadvantages of getting the One is that when LTE comes out, we won't be able to use it. But, tmo's 4g is pretty good already. So, would I upgrade? Yes. Hd screen, ICS with sense 4.0, 8mp cam, to take 1080p vids and pics at the same time, pretty good.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk
Title is misleading because it is, also yes I will upgrade. I'm very big on photo's and the camera wouldn't be the same on the Amaze, the sensors are outstanding! Smart Flash! Sense 4.0 and way more development because the ones are a world phone! It's faster than the amaze and all benchmark test that i have seen and its running stock! Imagine custom roms! Even thought quadrant itsn't everything! Plus its smaller and thinner. Beats audio integration throughout the whole phone! I know dsp manager is their but i hate opening it all the time. So yes when it comes out I am getting the one s hands down! Also! the one S is dual core so theirs no LTE Problem im pretty sure Tmo will make it so we can use our phones otherwise thats bad marketing. Also a better front camera which will help with video conferencing I can't wait.
One X
Its a very nice phone, definitely some nice minor upgrades over the amaze but to me it isn't worth it. I've decided to stick with the amaze and see what the Galaxy S III has to offer. I want a quad core phone with an Hd screen, I won't settle for something with capacitive buttons(with the amaze as an exception) especially now that android 4.0 supports buttons on the touch screen.
It's funny how when people hear that the US version is getting a dual core instead of the quad core people assume it's worse but in fact the Snapdragon S4(Dual Core) is faster than the Tegra 3(Quad Core) and US carriers will be getting a better phone than the UK.

Plus were using phones, a quad core which actually has 5 cores would use more power than the Snapdragon S4. That is why I don't overclock my phones. Unless I can keep the voltage the same. A phone is meant for making calls and to in keep contact with people.
What would you rather have a Core i7 2600 or a FX-8150 which is slower and consumes more power but has 4 more cores?(Which are actually modules but AMD product management sucks and decide to advertise them as eight core processors)

I have an i7 2600K and 4 Crossfired AMD 6990's and that thing is a power hog, but the possessor isn't a thing with phones.
I know the minute i get an HTC One device, and find a happy home for my amaze, google wallet will be available for the amaze 4g.. With some awesome promo. Not that much of an upgrade. Im perfectly happy with my camera. Not worth it. I have a standard camera for that.
I forgot which Android blog, but I just read about a "reliable" rumor that tmo is gonna get the one x without lte capabilities (ie the international quad-core version, cuz the hspa+ is good enough they say) and it's likely going to be a "G" device - like the G1, G2, etc. which means it'll be vanilla ics.
If this is true I know exactly where every single dev is going...and I'm gonna try my hardest to follow, haha.

I've been following the hands-on reports and such from Barcelona. All I can say is,
Take everything with a grain of salt, the reporters in Barcelona are sometimes getting their facts wrong,
Details about what will be sold in the US are still not finalized,
Real world testing and independent benchmarking of the total package have not happened,
The One S (remember, T-Mo isn't getting the big dog One X) has a smaller battery, it could have even worse battery life issues,....
I'm disappointed in the chronic problems I've had with the Amaze ... I might upgrade if T-Mobile gets tired of supporting my Amaze! But ... I've just read that T-Mo might only offer the "painted" model, not the one with the plasma-anodized aluminum.
I understand the use of the S4 processor is because the LTE radio is integrated in the chip (not a separate component as in the Amaze) ... Euro LTE markets will get the S4 as well.
I understand the Tegra3 is a 4+1 chip, with a "low-power chip" for "sleep mode." Dunno if the S4 has anything comparable. Based on what I've read, I'm not sure the Tegra is better than the S4.... Anyway, AT&T's getting the S4 too, and ... I'm not sure if will be a 32GB or 16GB version of the One X.
The lack of removable battery, and lack of Micro-SD slot, are giving a lot of people concern on AndroidCentral and other Android sites. What good is a hot diggity 1080p video recorder if you only have some subset of 16GB (9GB like our Amaze?) to record with, then have to slowly upload to Dropbox? Humbug.
Also, the screen of the One S is no more higher res than the Amaze. Same size. In fact, the One X and S have a similar body to the Amaze, leading me to think the Amaze was the "first draft" of a design concept.
I think while some media sources are drinking the Kool-Aid and proclaiming the One series as the best thing since integrated circuit chips, my own impression is that both S an X comprise some glaring compromises (size for battery, cool unibody case for user-replaceable memory card).
Would I upgrade? Well ... much was made of the dedicated camera buttons on the Amaze, and guess what's noticeably missing from the One models? I used those buttons all day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium earlier this month....

It's kind of hard making a quad core more efficient than a dual core when all 4 cores are going to be running constantly without powering off. If anything the HTC One X will have the same amount of battery as the One S. On HTC's website it has the specs and the Battery on the One S is a 1650 mAh and the One X is 1800. The screen on the One S is a Super AMOLED screen which is a major improvement over any of HTC's old screens.

ChromeJob expressed it better than I could. Keeping in mind that I'm probably older than the majority of the main demographic here and I consider my phone a tool more than a trendsetter, fashion statement, toy, and so forth, I don't see what's so great about the One S compared to the Amaze.
As I said in another subforum, the HTC One S is HTC's vision of an iPhone that runs ICS. Make key components non-user-removable, wow the press with hype, remove physical buttons (camera), dog it with some of the hardware (VGA FFC), and (likely) charge customers out the ass for it.
Also, while I did say that I don't care to have a phone as a fashion statement, aesthetics still matter in the sense that they could be a tiebreaker in deciding between phones that are otherwise close in specs. The styling of the One S is bland to me.

+1 all the One S has over the amaze is s4 processor (which i believe is better than t3) dual channel ram, and maybe a slightly better camera. (im sure its just software though)
I will not be upgrading. I can't express how good of a phone the amaze is. Its very unique looking (front maybe looks like a sensation but the back is very nice) it has an amazing build quality, it out preforms my daily tasks. Phone/SMS/Video/Pictures and a game here and there. The Amaze is still a great phone and i believe it will still be a good phone even when T3 and S4 chips come out. Once we achieve S-OFF i think there will be more developers for the amaze.
I dont know how you guys are upgrading so fast. I recently got my Amaze, and this phone just came out in oCtober of last year? not even 6 months ago. It is still a pretty expensive phone. I would rather stick with amaze love the camera and recording buttons, the 2mp front facing camera, the amazing 8Mp camera, and how reliable it is, no dropped calls or anything
I've preordered the HTC One X from Expansys. I have an Amaze and love it (I'm typing this post on it)....but I'm still excited to get the quad core version of the One X...
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already but I read last night that the X one my come to tmobile as the next G series phone and my be stock Ics!!!
Check it out over here at the rumor farm -

Too bad I really needed a new phone in December. Otherwise this was exactly what I was waiting for! O well...
Good thing about owning the amaze is its new enough to where when the new line rolls out, we can sit back for a bit, watch development, and catch it at a better price down the road

The one s has a dual core, the overseas version of the one X has a dualcore. I'm not sure about the S4, i hear its nice but what has me leaning to the quadcore is that i hear it has a small core to help save battery?

the rezound has 1.5 ghz dual core while sgs3 had 1.4 dual core. both have 8mp cameras.
idk they just seem similar and idk why this phone has so much anticipation.

well the speed of the dual core might be similar but they're running different chips, whihc apparently makes quite a difference in speed and supposedly in battery life too. but one thing samsung has had issues with on cdma from a lot of people's experiences i've read about is poor signal. for whatevre reason they seem to have trouble making good cdma radios.
If you don't like sense, want a thinner phone go with the gs3. If you want a better screen and sense stay with the Rez. I am 90% sure I am sticking with the Rez for now at least but I'll see what else is lined up for the fall/holiday time frame.
I think the biggest thing to consider between the two devices is the size, weight, and the battery life. SG3 has an edge on all of these 3 areas.
the screen on the SG3 can be too big for some people but if you like large phone, then it's the obvious choice. While SG3 is 1.2, it should actually runs faster due to the newer cpu.
personally if I would buying a new phone, I would choose SG3 over Rezound simply because it has newer technology and hopefully will support future os upgrade. The advantage with rezound of course is the ROM development.

Isn't the SG3 1.5ghz similar to the Rezound? It just has a different chipset.
sg3
if i had the money to burn id buy the sg3. i've found sense much more bloated than it used to be on my dinc and i believe its actually gotten worse rather than better. I never thought i'd say it but id say bring on touchwiz(even though u might be better getting the nexus still)

okay then. ill try to convince VZW to get me a sgs3 lol. who knows if they will but since ive been through so many phones.... they gotta have sympathy
I upgrade in august and I will probably either go Incredible 4g or go for a nexus. The samsung interface doesn't appeal to me and I am not a hardware nazi. Give me a phone that doesn't have interface lag and I am happy. the most powerful apps i use is probably my browser.
The sgsiii just doesn't look good as a phone looks wise. also after watching some of the break tests and system teardown videos, I'm afraid its gonna be as fraile as the iphone 3g was.
I recommend waiting to see what Google does with ASUS this fall-ish. The padfone looks pretty awesome.
My vote is for rezound.

just curious. why?
For the record, the dual core in the SGS3 completely destroys the one in the Rezound, also 2GB of RAM is basically future proofing you for years.

Cause its a great phone with at least another 18 months of good life left. ICS hasn't even hit yet, and when it does there will be a huge resurgence of development. The screen is still the best one out there IMO, and I really love HTCs design style.
That, and the SGSIII is fugly. Extremely fugly.
Galaxy S3 has the Snapdragon S4 chipset, while the Rezound has the S3 chipset. With equal clock speeds, the S4 can be up to 50% faster than the S3. Overall the GS3 will blow the Rezound out of the water in terms of speed. It also has twice as much RAM and a larger battery. If you could get one for $200, I would do it. With its specs the GS3 seems like a phone that will still be decent 2 years down the line. I'm not so certain about my Rezound 2 years later. At full price I probably would just stick with the Rezound. The only two negatives for the GS3 would be the really large size, and the screen quality is likely a small step down from the Rezound (although 0.5" bigger). One other potential negative is TouchWiz, though I don't know how it compares to Sense 3.6 or 4.0.
S3 is bigger, faster, and has better battery life. I'm dropping the Rezound for it. UI lag drives me insane, and Sense seems like it will always have it, even though its only a split second lag from pressing phone and loading the dialer, I want instant loads like the iphone, and Sense doesn't do it.
Ok. I'm planning to upgrade from my LG G2x (Wind Optimus 2X) to either with Galaxy S3 or the One X+ (North American - Telus Canada versions). I'm leaning to the S3, but I want to see if people on this forum can change my mind. My criteria:
- Real-life performance (benchmarks are moot)
- Battery-life
- Camera performance
- Construction quality
- Future proofing (ROM development both 3rd party or manufacturer)
Coming from the LG G2x, I've learned a lot of lesson on areas I've gotten burned. That's one reason I've ruled out the Nexus 4 (being LG) and that fact that 16GB is not freaking enough. Google is smoking dope if they think we can get everything off the cloud and don't need much storage...not when we're on a plane or in the subway. I've learned that nVidia is terrible and doesn't support or provide source code for the Tegra (at least for the Tegra 2), I've learned, that though the processor was great, the G2x was totally short on RAM 384MB (usable), I've learn that given all these issues both LG and developers here and there weren't spending much effort supporting the device.
I much prefer the design and construction of the One X+ over the Galaxy S3, I also prefer, Sense over TouchWiz, but I'm open to trying new ROMs, skins, and launchers. I prefer things to work well stock, out of the box, but again if I need to rolling in a new ROM (or just a nice update on Android, I'm happy to do so.)
So I've probably already convinced myself based on my criteria, the S3 is better choice for me, even though, I dread the look and the feel in hand, and the fact that it's as ubiquitous as the iPhone. So someone convince me otherwise to go with the One X+ instead.

I just came from the s3 and all I can say is if you like features speed and a beautiful phone one x plus is for you as for development the s3 is going to be best if you like switching roms

How do you find the battery life and camera compared to the S3? Reading reviews online and the battery thread here, I still sense the still S3 wins in those categories.

I too came from the S3. I exchanged it for a One X+ yesterday. So far, the build quality is like day and night between the S3 and one X plus. The 64 gb of storage is useful as well.

It depends on what ROM you plan to use for battery life. I can't make a solid answer about battery yet, but I will say if you plan on gaming it eats up battery pretty quickly. IMO, I prefer the One X camera. Audio quality on the one X plus seems better as well. My advice would be to go to a store and try both phones out and see which one is best for you.

The battery is about the same as my s3, that I owned for 4 months it's about 8-19 hours depending on how heavy I use my phone mostly tapatalk YouTube pulse facebook talk and texting all day with some GPS navigation. The camera is about the same, (HTC camera software blows Samsung's out the water) HTC one x wins all the way in my book, the phone works great s3 software is still ics stock while the one x is jellybean.
One thing I wanna note is the one x plus has no lagg at all the speakers on the s3 internal and external sucks compared to onex+

Not a lot gaming at all. More surfing, videos, and I tend to use navigation a lot when I'm travelling. I hate having my phone out of juice in the middle of the afternoon especially when I'm travelling in another city because I was using the navigation/GPS a lot.

For me personally there is also a non technical/specs related reason. I've always been a fan of HTC devices. Design, build quality and reliability is the best among Android devices. Eventhough competing brands might offer a specs wise slightly better device, I keep supporting HTC by buying their products. I want the company to stay in the Android phone business! Otherwise Samsung or Apple will soon be the only main manufacturers...
I also come d one s3 and j have a passion which is the concert, level video photograph, battery, the one x + is to superieur in s3 however that ci etait root

Agree 100% on HTC as company. In fact, I was using HTC for my two previous devices prior to going to the LG G2x. Again big regret going to LG. But times have changed a bit and Samsung is really pulling ahead in the Android market. My biggest concern with One X+ reading around is the battery life. Right now it seems some people are doing fine with while others are having some serious battery drain issues. I might need to get the device and try it a couple of days to really find out for myself.

Isn't there a 14-30 day period when u buy a phone that u can return it no questions asked with a new contract? If so, why does anyone need to tell anyone answers to questions they can figure out on their own? Lol. Get the S3, play with it for 10 days, return it for hox+, return it in 10 days, then stick with the one u like best. If u can't figure out battery life in 10 days then a smartphone probably ain't for u, lol! Some people
If you had to choose between phones, choose between the Optimus G or the HTC One X+. I say this because I personally want to spend $200 on a phone with 1.) Good Build Quality and 2.) not outdated Hardware (the S3 has a dual core, all phones now have quad core). If you want many ROMs, then get the S3. I've had all 3 phones, and I'm sticking with the One X+. Battery life is on par with S3, but the Optimus G has the best out of all. One X+ screen is on par with Optimus G, and they both blow the S3 screen. S3 and One X+ cameras are both good, Optimus G's is mediocre.
Hope this helped.

I'm in Canada, so things are a little different with our carriers. My current provider had a 30min voice and 50MB data usage limit to void the device return policy even though the period is 14 days. I'll have to look into Telus's policy more closely if they also have something similar. That and we have 3 yr contracts and better healthcare...
I just returned my One X+. I wanted it because I really like the 64GB of internal storage. Plus I was getting bored with my Galaxy S3. I knew I was losing RAM but figured it was worth the trade off (the U.S. GS3 has 2GB RAM vs 1GB for One X+).
I have the GS3 with AOKP and after using the One X+ I realized it is NOT faster than my GS3 like I was thinking it would be. I knew the One X+ was not as friendly to root and flash ROMs like the GS3 but I was willing to just leave it stock. It's not that it lagged or anything. It works great as is. It's just that having the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 (Nexus 4) it did not offer the performance boost I was looking for. As for the storage, my GS3 does have less internal storage but it does accept SD cards.
It does play better looking games than the US GS3 with its Adreno 225. It will get really hot playing the high end games but I had a case on so I didn't feel it as much. The One X+ GPU is not better than the iPhone 5 GPU or even the Nexus 4 with its Adreno 320. I knew that before hand but was still fine with that. I just mention it here in case you didn't know.
As for battery life, I had a PowerSkin on my One X+ that offers some protection AND has spare battery power if and when needed. So I didn't have a battery problem myself.
If your fine not having a device that's as friendly to hack and has as much developer support then I would say the One X+ would be good over the GS3. I didn't like that by keeping my One X+ stock that I couldn't disable all the bloat but it was a small price to pay I guess.

You do realize the one x+ has a 12 core gpu. IPhone 5 is a quad gpu and I'm not sure about the s4 pro.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
lol. You believe because it has more cores that makes it better? The “cores" are not equal at all. The GPU's are different. And although you see that number you are very mistaken to think that makes it more powerful. Its not. Its not even close to being the same.
No the iPhone 5 has a 3 core GPU. The iPad last I check has the quad core GPU to push all those extra pixels. Benchmarks can show how many frames the devices run loading and playing certain things. The iPhone 5 in mine and others who done it handles and plays way smoother with mores frames in those intense benchmark 3D tests.
I forgot some people can't accept a device they like or has being less powerful and beaten by other devices. In whatever area. I didn't mean to make think the One X+ GPU is not good. It just really is not better than the other two I listed. Once my devices GPUs are beaten by others I have no problem accepting that. In fact, I said the Tegra-3 was better than my Adreno 225 in my GS3.

I'm passing on the Optimus G and Nexus 4 as well given my bad experience with my LG G2x...it's probably the worst experience I've had with a phone.
I see all the comparisons of the Droid DNA to various other phones...some newer, some older. I am an Android Junkie, and have had 5 phones in the last year. I hope people find my opinions helpful. I have no allegiance to any phone manufacturer. I've owned almost all of them. My $.02
I have owned the OG droid, HTC Droid Inc, HTC ThunderBolt, Moto Droid X2, HTC Rezound, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, (2x)Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC Droid DNA(current Phone).
I will only be talking about current and last gen phones.
I see alot of people coming from the thunderbolt to the DNA. Makes sense since the TBolt came out roughly two years ago, hence the two year upgrade eligibility. The Samsung GS3 (US Snapdragon S4 Dual core model) is in my opinion set a clear revolutionary bar in phone technology. It was beautiful, had phenomenal battery life and performance was head and shoulders above the rest at launch time and is even trades transistors with some just released quad core competition. The Rezound was an absolute abysmal phone. Lets be honest it was a last gen phone (snapdragon S3) that had pathetic battery life, way too much bloat, and a version of sense that felt like a ton of bricks on top of the OS. And lets not forget the Rezound could double as a pocket warmer as well. The only saving grace of the rezound was its beautiful SLCD-2 screen. Colors were rich and accurate. The Galaxy Nexus was an absolute pleasure to own from day one. I hadn't experienced any radio problems that were talked about on the forums. The phone was snappy bright beautiful and felt way faster than the Rezound even though on paper the Rezound was faster (S3 @ 1.5GHZ with powerVR vs TI-Omap @1.2). Battery life was an improvement especially with the LTE radio on. I would still be using my Nexus if it weren't for the S3 buzz. Just hadda have one when the hype bug got to me. Having built in LTE on the SOC was a plus as well. The DroidX2 was a red headed stepchild of a phone. Dual core yes...performance of one...NO. Battery life was a positive...thats about it. My tBolt overclocked to 1.92Ghz felt way snappier. My current Droid DNA is a sight to see. When I heard rumors of a Snapdragon S4 quad core with 2 gigs of ram in a 5" screen that had 1080P resolution... I had to have one. Battery life is definitely on par with the GS3. The screen... ohhhh the screen....I cannot put enough emphasis on how easy on the eyes it is. Colors are accurate, saturation is neutral, and sharpness is mind blowing. (Retina what?) It is svelte and the materials used are very pleasing and confidence inspiring to touch.
The Galaxy S3 is a super phone and with AOSP JB Roms is phenomenally fast. The DNA is Super Fast and either phone is a great addition/replacement to any last gen phone. Thanks to all Developers that sacrifice time, money and family time to make these devices more enjoyable to us all. Happy Holidays everyone!!!

when I first got the DNA in the mail and I pulled it out, I was just like no way, this thing is going back, I'm coming from 4' HTC INC4g, and it just felt huge! I considered going to exchange it for the SG3, but within 20 mins I fell in love with the DNA. I could on for and on about how great this phone is.
I do wish it was like 4.7' instead of the 5', but beggars can't be choosers lol, and if a smaller phone comes out that I like, I will prob sell this one and buy it
personally, coming from an s3, although bigger, i'm used to the size. yeah it was huge at first, but now it's normal lol

I also came from the S3 and must say that I actually prefer the size of the DNA over the S3 as far as holding it in the hand goes. The S3 is wider and not as comfortable in the hand as the DNA imo. Both are great phones, but if I had to do it all over again, I would still sell the S3 for the DNA.

LOL... I was thinking the same thing.. I got a good hearty chuckle out of your post!
The title may be a little misleading. I currently have the Optimus G (AT&T) and it's just not doing it for me. For one, I like a bright screen, but the phone likes to heat up even when surfing the web and auto-dims the brightness, not allowing you to brighten due to high temperature. That is annoying. I do like the phone, the screen (other than the yellow tint on the bottom, eh) and the UI. Pretty nifty UI. But, the heating issue, the battery, and not having control over my screen is just not keeping me. This is the second Optimus G that I've gotten, the issues are just the same.
With the One X+ do you really feel the difference between 2GB and 1GB of RAM? The Optimus G is constantly using 1gb of RAM, even on idle.
What are really the key features to a One X+ over the Optimus G? Yes, I know updates. lol
Thanks!

Well the OG has a better processor, but the HOX+ has better build quality, good quality display, 64 gb storage, I personally haven't noticed any slow downs. The audio quality is pretty good as well. If you are a gamer you also get the tegra exclusive games. Hope I somewhat helped, if you want any specifics just say and I will answer

It's no denying that my Optimus G is freaking fast with no hiccups (That and man, the Optimus UI is actually pretty nice).
I just want smooth everything. Gaming isn't TOO big for me, but I do like it. And I would like if my phone didn't heat up so easily and knock the screen brightness down.
Just how good is the battery life and how good is the screen in comparison? If possible, do you have the information on how much RAM your phone uses in idle? (960mb in idle for the Optimus G, roughly).

The HOX+ uses about 600-750mb when idle depending on apps installed.

Well the OG has a better processor, but the HOX+ has better build quality, good quality display, 64 gb storage, I personally haven't noticed any slow downs. The audio quality is pretty good as well. If you are a gamer you also get the tegra exclusive games. Hope I somewhat helped, if you want any specifics just say and I will answer

Oh, wow. I guess an extra gig is pretty useful, then.
Performance wise you won't know difference - unused ram for android is wasted ram, to put it simple
I had both and sold the lg. The one x+ is better for me. It has better sound, better camera and better build quality. The lg felt to me like it was going to break way too easily, and its creaky when you hold it firmly. The one x+ feels a lot better in the hand as the lg is wider and more square. The speed is about the same when comparing them side by side. Apps opened at the same speed and web pages loaded at the same speed. The battery life seems to me that its better on the htc. I really like the way the htc handles word wrap on the stock browser, you can zoom in as much as you want and the words fit the screen. Another thing is that the lg has a menu button instead of the recents button, even though this can be changed with software it is kind of annoying. The one x+ has jellybean out of the box and the lg may never get it.

The only thing I feel like the OG has over the X+ is customization. I really like how slick everything is. The lock animation, the dew drops, everything. But since I stumbled back into a 2 year contract with AT&T, I need a phone that will last and be updated normally.

Updates is something that you can't really be sure to rely on with any manufacturer, so that's great for our X+ to start off with JB 4.1.1

I came from IOS6 to ICS on this Optimus G. That alone was the best transition ever. Being able to actually do stuff, ah...
Is JB really that better?

I had an Optimus G and currently am using One X+. The difference in performance between the two is going to become obvious real quick, sorry. The Optimus G does everything smoothly and effortlessly, and the only instances where I see lag is browsing Flash heavy websites and waiting for items to load in Market while scrolling. The One X+ lags basically everywhere. What the One X+ has advantage-wise over the LG is camera, build quality, and the 64 GB internal storage. Battery life and component temperatures between the two is a tie.

I haven't intimately used the X+ yet, so I can't decide whether this is true or not. I can verify that the OG is freaking smooth, but I wouldn't expect the X+ to be far off.
Heat doesn't really bother me, it's just that the OG obnoxiously auto-dims the screen that bugs me.
TRF-Inferno must have a bad device because mine is very smooth. Now I did try using the Nova launcher and it does lag for some reason. Other than that my experience with the one x+ has been great. Like I said before, when I had both the HTC and LG optimus g side by side they performed alike. But, my LG's battery would drop 10% every hour and my one x+ only drops 5% every hour. All I'm saying is that both phones are fast and smooth. I know it will cost but, you could add a line and try the HTC for a week and if you don't like it you can return it. If you can find it at Walmart, they don't even have a restocking fee. Just a thought. Other wise your going to get 100 different people with different opinions.
Edit: Dang it TRF-Inferno, its all your fault,you got me comparing my daughter's one x to my one x+ and her's is just as fast as mine at browsing and loading apps. Now all I have is more storage than her. Thanks a lot.

As far as I can tell OP, the One X+ is freaking awesome. I LOVE everything about this phone because 1) It has the 64 gb storage that ill probably never even come close to filling 2) The JB that comes right out of the box 3) The camera is great but sometimes lacks quality in low light 4) Its build is just great, the rubber backing, the size and the quality of it is just great 5) Dropped it in the toilet and it still worked after with no defects when I fully dried it off 6) The beats audio equalizer when you have headphones in does make a difference for sound 7) How loud the speakers are 8) The slimness of the phone 9) It is the exact same size as the HTC One X which is great because cases from the original can fit it 10) It has everything that I want in a phone (personal opinion).
One thing I dont like is how hot it can get when you are gaming for awhile (playing graphics demanding games). Doesn't take long to cool down though so don't worry. I think its because of the rubber backing that holds the heat in. Ask me anything else!
I had the Optimus coming from the Galaxy S 3 for 3 days and had a couple of complaints. The first one was that it felt too big in my hands. I loved the way that it was built except the screen. It scratched way too easily which was my second complaint. A case with it would just make it too huge so I decided to go with the one x+. The building quality is amazing. I am not a big fan of sense so I just pop nova Launcher over it. I don't feel like the Optimus is a bit faster. It may be due to the RAM but I can notice it.

The Optimus G was the only other phone I was considering instead of the HTC One X+. In the end I never went to the store to look at it. I just liked the One X+ so much that I never got around to checking out the Optimus G at the AT&T store. I ordered the HOX+ online.
One of the issues that really concerned me about the Optimus G was the shape being more 'squarish'. My hands aren't terribly big, but, I can still use the HOX+ effectively with one hand. Don't know if that would still be possible on the Optimus G.
In the end the biggest problem I had with the Optimus G was that it is manufactured by LG. It is quite possible they are going to continue/start making quality phones, but, I was definitely leery after previously owning one of their 'non-smartphone' models.
So now you know why I'm hanging out here instead of the Optimus G forum.

And rightfully so... I worked at Sprint and AT&T for many years, and I can't tell you how bad a reputation LG has to the EMPLOYEES, let alone the customers. When the Rumor came out (basic messaging phone), the charging port was so fragile that it would snap off the board if you so much as looked at it funny. It got so bad, our area were directly replacing ANY customer with a Rumor with a Rumor 2, no questions asked. Oh yeah, and that phone proved JUST as bad. I myself had an LG Thrill that I purchased full price, and I had to replace it twice in a week due to overheating, rebooting, lag, etc. It got so hot that the adhesive around the screen MELTED and dripped black goo down the inside of the screen.
That being said, I was dead set on geting the new Nexus, until Google announced they were going with LG. I'll wait until next year, where it's hopefully Motorola or Sony.
