Will that matter in reality though? Surely they are both ridiculously powerful for a phone.

The One X looks fantastic! Well done HTC.
Would be the perfect new phone if it had a slightly higher capacity battery (and therefore slightly thicker) and an option to flash a non Sense ROM.

Can't confirm either way, didn't know there was an update in all honesty - it just was munching the battery via screen power in a sort of "i can watch it go down as I use it" type way. These guys review stuff for a living though so I'd be willing to take their word for it though.
Which one does everyone else think is the best overall out of the one S, GS 2 and the galaxy nexus? (particularly want to hear your thoughts robbo, sarge and kona)
Probably the One S out of those three. It really depends on your uses/requirements and how much you want stock Android.
There's nothing at all wrong with the Galaxy Nexus but its weak spec sheet (screen aside) is going to take a beating now.

Go for the One S if you like Sense, otherwise get the Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus has a better screen and stock Android, both of which are big advantages.
Yeah that's what I thought as well!
My main uses are/will be:
- Web browsing, love the pages to load/render quickly as well as being smooth when scrolling, one S seems to be the best for the loading/rendering, but what about the smoothness? Is it as smooth as the GS 2 scrolling? (haven't seen this mentioned in the reviews or maybe I just missed it
)- Media playing capabilities, want to be able to stream/play 1080P 10+ GB MKV content smoothly (on my mobile as well as connecting it to the TV downstairs), the one S shouldn't have a problem regarding hardware, but could the sense/software hold it back?
- Camera, One S seems to be the best here as well for quality and features overall
- Battery life too early to tell really, but so far the one S sounds very promising and could be better than the other 2
- Regarding the screen, the One S seems great and better than the GS 2 but the GN has 720P, bah......
- design and perceived build quality is much better for the one S but the durability compared to the gs 2 and gn won't be as good
And all the other general things.
Then the software/skins, love stock android, but also really like the look of sense 4.0 (I would end up putting go launcher with my own widgets on either way, for both mobiles [pretty much using mrk's layout ¬_¬
]). I just hate how there is sooooooooo much stuff in sense, which isn't needed still. I presume the support from XDA will be good for the One S as well.
I guess it will come down to price in the end!
Either between the GN and the one S now hmm.........

They should both be very fast - the S4 will be a fair bit faster in cpu intensive tasks. This should be more clear after more phone come out with the S4 and comparisons are made.
In everyday use, the Tegra 3 should be fast - but I asked a questioned earlier:
Anyone with the One X - does the phone grind to a halt when installing apps?
I saw this happen when I had the Prime (tegra 3).

For me it would still be the SGSII that wins as it got the better camera/camcorder and big battery (extended if you need it) sd card, exynos, still a great screen, looks smart.
But why get the S2 now - wait for the S3.
Yeah, I'd wait and see what impact the SGS3 has on prices, are you buying sim free or with a new contract Nexus?
Imagine if Kepler had been 40nm, the GPU boys would've gone mental!
You get much better power consumption, less heat, miles better single threaded performance and... massive overclocking potential j0!!!

Been speaking to Paul from Modaco - I bought his SGS2 previously and he's saying its a worthy upgrade to go for the One X. I don't particularly need an external SD now, since I mainly use Spotify for music and the photos can auto upload to dropbox.
Edit: If you want to buy the SGS2 I can sell for £200

Yeah I forget to mention that - battery life should be nice with 28nm.

I'm going for the X on Thursday I think, like the idea of a crisp screen for browsing and vids.... Enough storage for me ..
The reviews are saying that the one S has the best camera to date (don't know about the one X, as I haven't read too much about it
) along with all the features like the filters.Yeah the extended battery is also a plus for the GS 2 as well as the SD card, but I think I would be pretty safe with 16GB and then 25GB for dropbox. The screen is still great but I just feel that the res. is pretty old gen now and is the main thing that puts me of it
Looks wise, I like them all.But the GS 3 most likely won't be till May
My contract ends on the 19th this month, so getting a new contract (not too bothered by 24 month contracts as long as the mobile still works quickly and smoothly enough) but not sticking with 3 as reception is dreadful, so going back to o2. Don't want to spend much more than £20 a month, no fee up front and if a fee is required, then no more than £40
(cheapskate, I know 
). Happy with 500MB data (would prefer 1GB though), 200 min and 500 texts.

The still camera shot looks great but...
the stutter on the videocamera is pretty bad:

Yeah the video recording is a bit dodgy in some videos I would use the camera more often than recording though and some of the features for the camera/video recording like the capturing a photo whilst recording and the "machine gun series of continuous shots " is pretty useful and kind of makes up for the problems in the video recording area, I reckon.
Hopefully it is just a problem with software and will be fixed sometime soon.
