iPhone 4s and Galaxy S3 Drop Test


For those of you who are still waiting to get their hands on the new Galaxy S3, this video can be hard to watch.
Android Authority decided to show no mercy and proceed with a violent drop test to test the two phones. So they tried different angles and the result was that both phones 'cracked'. Although we might say that the Galaxy S3 might have taken the lead since it has Gorilla Glass 2.

HTC One X


There is alot of competition between high-end smartphones the last two years with Apple and Samsung leading the race. Of course there are many others like HTC that might have setbacks before but now its back in the game with the One series (S,V,X). One X is a superphone that has got everyones attention especially since Galaxy S3 hasn't officially been released, One X doesn't have any true competitors.
HTC decided to create a high end device that is based on last generation hardware, but also concetrated on the device's design. One X is a truly beautiful superphone that will impress everyone who takes a closer look. This is a unibody device made out of polycarbonate, which is durable and easy to form. The only removable part of the phone is the micro SIM port (like iPhone) which is placed on the right part of the phone.

The unibody gives the impression that the phone is more firm and  it is a thin, quality device with very light weight. Its weight and width is smaller compared to iPhone 4/4S except for  the part where the camera on its back has a small lump. On its front there is an impressive HD 4,7 inch screen and a camera for video calls. Right next to it is a volume control, a a micro USB port that can be turned into an HDMI port using the right adaptor.

Right below the screen there are three capacitive soft keys and finally on its back next to the camera there is the loud speaker. It is worth mentioning that most of HTC's smartphones have Beats Audio quality.
