Big debate. S3 or One X

[Khare]

Jay, which model does VF send? Is it 4G compatible?

[Jay]

No it's the 3G version, I doubt they'll start rolling out the i9305 yet - most likely when their 4G network is live or a month before it goes live.

See if your network do the International 4G version (NOT the poor American version with dual cores!) and if they do, get it exchanged if you've had it less than a week or two 

oh and don't fret too much, the i9300 3G S3 is more than capable of doing anything you could want it to! It's ridiculously fast, even on apps that aren't optimized to use all of it's power!

Oh right ok, i don't suppose you know if Three stock the i9305 do you? Im a bit disppointed to find out theres a better version with 4G capability  available.

[Khare]

Yeah me too 

Although isn't it still a year or so until the other carriers start using 4G?

[thai-wronghorse]

Which if is the case it'll be upgrade time again anyway. 

[Khare]

My contract is 24 months 

[thai-wronghorse]

So is mine but i thought you could upgrade the handset after 12 months?

[Khare]

I wish! Vodafone lets you upgrade 70 days before the contract is up.

[Khare]

VF messed the order up and it won't come today, however it will come tomorrow. The good news is that S3 will be here tomorrow and the HOX will be collected on Monday, so I've got 2 full days to do back to back comparisons of the two. Will report back when I've come to a conclusion

It's marginally better, same processor, just a bit more RAM and 4G connectivity - 1Gb has not been an issue for me, I can play games like NOVA3 and The Dark Knight Rises, Men in Black etc and 4G, well EE will only have it in 16 UK cities by the end of the year, and what sort signal strength will it be in those cities ?
