Quad-core shootout: Four of a kind - read the full textBuckle up people, because this is going to get rough. When the world's four most powerful smartphones are about to go ballistic, it is the right time to take this website's name literally. The stage is set for the four titans of the Android world...

If the LG has had software updates to fix its video problems, then I think I'd buy it if I was to choose between them.

I own an htc one x and I love it!!! However it is clear galaxy s 3 is the best here without a shadow of a doubt

I work for a carrier and the one x does appear to have a lot of faults and gets returned frequently

Samsung Galaxy SIII is the only phone of those four candidates that support native video call,
so, i vote for Samsung GSIII, since i use video call quite often.

Honestly, I would go for the LG Optimus 4X HD.

Reason being

1) it's the cheapest
2) microSD slot + removable battery
3) its performance might not be on par with S3 or even the One X, But I think for everyday use it suffices

Only thing I'm worried is LG's horrible track record of phone software... thank God for XDA

the bad camera and the overheating.

When compared to Senheiser or Bose, Beats becomes a sad sad story.. It has little mid to high freq response, thus resulting in lots of bass, but not nearly as clean as any other top brands.. :)

Alright android fans don't shoot this comment down by the quad core smartphones tested here are really immature. For example two smartphones from the same company htc one x (inter) and one x (us) and the one from the us smashed the quad core international one. Pure facts but synthetic benchmarks only

4S blows all this quadcore's camera Out of the water. And wait for iPhone5. That's sure to be dual core only but this quadcores phone will ear dust for sure. :)

Well i always support GSMarenas reviews cause they are the most trustfull out there!But there are some things missing in this review: build quality and software updates!htc one x got an update for fixing the 24fps section! and meizu mx4 as separate unit it had lens issue!Also LG rolled out an update for the autofocus problem...O.K this review is excellent for the tested parts but not overall perfect...this is my opinion of course it doen't mean everyone has the same! as far as the phones, i personally choose the htc one x for it's screen, beats audio, better off light camera, Sense UI and build quality! Keep it up GSMarena!always better every time

Yeah..good review from u guys GSMARENA, but u really ignored about build quality which includes phone design...it's the very first impression before we thoroughly check the overall specs...those four smartphones have their strength respectively, but for me, I would go for Samsung Galaxy S3..:)

I wonder if GSMArena did this on the phones' latest firmware or not... One X has been updated many times n get better n it seems that they r still using the old results. Inaccurate i would say
