S3 vs. 4s vs. One X

Samsung has launched its new Quad-Core phone which is the Galaxy S3. It is likely to be the rival phone for both the HTC One X and the upcoming iPhone 5. Samsung has set some high standards without going overboard on its hardware and physical characters. They have managed to level up with HTC and iPhone with lots of new features.

S3 has "S Beam" which is similar to iCloud but its for the Galaxy S3(for now). Samsung has come up with more user friendly techs such as the smart alert,smart stay and also the S Voice which is like Siri for iPhone 4S. The predecessor,Galaxy S2,has a much smaller screen compared to S3's 4.8 Super Amoled. Eventhough its a bigger screen,the pixels are quite low compared to 4S and One X. These are the more detailed comparison among the current rival for S3 :

In my opinion,Galaxy S3 has some plus points such as the smart alert,smart stay and a much better battery life compared to the iPhone and HTC. For now,maybe the S3 is a much better phone out there but I think,iPhone will come out with something more different and something we can't get our hands off. What do you think?
