You cant go wrong with either of the two but Between the One X and s3- i would recommend the S3. The S3 is faster, has expandable storage and replaceable battery. It has longer battery life and a host of nifty features by which it differentiates itself from other droids. The HTC has a brighter screen and built quality but falls in performance and battery life, and now i think prices are also the same- earlier the HTC was a bit cheaper. Depends on what you want from your phone.....i twiddled my thumbs over which to buy for 2 months- finally bought the S3 last month. Got the Samsung flip cover which replaces the thin OEM backcover with one which is more sturdy- now it feels great too.

Aah- Now that you throw in an Apple in the mix we need to take a step back then because i thought you had pretty much decided on a top of the line Droid. Usually people who ask here are pretty much decided between the two platforms. Pound for pound, the S3 will whip the 4S, and in some aspects the new 5 too- so its a no brainer for a rational buyer. Again depends on what do you want? An open ecosystem with lots of customization options, great real estate (screen size) free apps, expandable memory, easy integration with existing devices then you gotta get the Droid. The Apple will also give slightly higher brand value, a lot of apps but it is the closed ecosystem that I am not a fan of- i own an iPad and hate the dependence on itunes and the paid apps, even though the app quality is probably better than Android. The 4S will also get atleast the next 2 OS upgrades, which i think the S3 will also get (JB and KLP). If i were you i would buy the S3 without any questions, but people often buy the Apple from the heart.
