Ugh why the heck are people suggesting a Galaxy S2? Locked bootloader or not, the One X is certainly lightyears ahead of a Galaxy S2. Don't even make the mistake of considering an outdated phone.

Used Galaxy S3 can be bought in/under 40k these days easily. I consider S3 to be the only leading phone in the market right now. So in my opinion, if one needs to spend that much money, he should spend it wisely and get a better product i.e. S3.

Strictly in 35k range, there aren't many good choices. One X and Galaxy Nexus seem to be quite good contenders.

Well your options are like this. In order of preference

  • Galaxy S3
    • Pros
    • Cons
      • Price
  • Galaxy Nexus
    • ​Pros
      • Pure Android experience.
      • Nexus line is ahead in Android version most of the time.
      • SAMOLED display (P.P)
      • Within your current budget
      • Unbricakable mod exist.
      • Largest Developer support of the three.
    • Cons
      • No expandable storage
      • Not as powerful chipset as the other 2.
      • Locked bootloader which can be unlocked.
  • HTC One X


  • [*=1]Pros
    [*=2]LCD screen (P.P)
    [*=2]Unibody (P.P)
    [*=2]Within your current budget
    [*=1]Cons

    • [*=1]Non removable battery
      [*=1]Non-expandable storage
      [*=1]Locked bootloader, officially unlocking voids warranty officially :p
      [*=1]HTC is the last to update of the three
      [*=1]Restoring to stock will not restore warranty.
      [*=1]RUU are not upto everybody's taste


How do you shutdown a HTC One X during a bootloop. ? :mushy: I asked the same question on XDA HTC one X forums and they said you have to wait for the battery to wear down (co)


This post can be modified if I receive any feedback.​

[MENTION=20048]yousaf465[/MENTION].... Nice comparison there mate. Now I am more inclined towards buying a Galaxy Series phone. And also you are quite right about the non-replaceable battery part of OneX. Bricking it will be a real pain.
[MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION]... You also seem to be recommending Galaxy S3. But I have heard that it has certain 'Sudden Death' issues? Also how much a used galaxy S3 will retail for in a good and respectable condition? I might be able to stretch my budget after all in order to accommodate a second hand S3. :)

Aaah yes.... My friend also complains about his OneX that it has a 'WiFi issue' but I thought that it might be a problem with his cell phone only. The only complaint of his that remained in my mind was of that HTC OneX battery drains quite quickly. :(

actually last week my brother went to mall of lahore to meet his friend .
there is htc service centre on basement floor where he saw two guys filling warranty claim form for their htc one x's wifi issues, they told my bro that this issue is quite common in quad core version of htc one x.

Samsung is offering free MB replacement even for rooted/CFW running SDS galaxy S3. Also no case has been reported so far from Pakistan.

Just avoid avoid sets with H/W 1.100 and VT**** chip. Also try to find 32Gb version (just Rs3K+ for new)

Thanks for the heads up mate. Can you kindly tell me the way through which I will be able to identify the mentioned specs on a Samsung Galaxy S3? Those I need to avoid. And for how much can I get a used S3 for? In a good condition?

Since most of the people here were recommending Galaxy S3, I finally went ahead and bought it (by the Grace of ALLAH). Special thanks to [MENTION=20048]yousaf465[/MENTION], [MENTION=15330]AsadAbrar[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION] for recommending this awesome device :p.

Bought it new in titanium grey color. (sm1)

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
