Hi, I am due an upgrade in November, but I am umming and arring over the 2 top phones now, the SGS3 and HTC One X. I know I won't be getting another iPhone, not my favourite to be honest.

Anyone in the 'loop' so to speak and know what I should get or wait for?

P.S. I am on O2 and probably wont be leaving them any time soon.

There is also 5 new nexus phones due around november and WP8, so those could be good too

I read the HTC One X has multitasking problems as the apps get killed once you've closed them as part of HTC's memory management. That put me off straight away.

I too was waiting for the One X and SGS3. After the One X came out I took a look at I was not impressed so I pre-ordered the SGS3 on release day and I'm happy with the choice I made.

November is 5 months away, that's an eternity in mobile phone land. Ask again then...

Quite true, I seem to have read past that part.

It's pointless asking now.

Indeed, just wait 5 months (I'm in exactly the same position as you

)

It's fun to speculate, I'm going to say it'll a fight between these three by then....

Galaxy Note 2 (Exynos 5: 2Ghz dual core cortex A15 + T604 GPU)
One XXL (Qualcomm S4 Prime: 1.5GHz quad core Krait + Adreno 320)
iPhone 6 (Apple A6: 1Ghz dual core cortex A15 + SGX544MP2, faster combo than the A5X btw)

It isn't that bad.

Especially once you disable apps that you no longer need even more so the sense ones.

Only problem I have with the multi-tasking is that the browser tabs reload when you return to them from a demanding app, however, iirc the GS 3 also has this problem and more problems with launchers reloading a lot.
