Does anyone know when the Galaxy S3 4G LTE version is coming out here in HK? I'm thinking if I should upgrade now or just wait for the 4G version.

I would wait. I upgraded to ice cream and my battery sucks. I imagine the S3 has similar issues. Have friends who complain with the new nexus. S2 with gingerbread is still the best in my opinion.

That's what I did, too. I downgraded my S2 after upgrading because it sucks.
Also removed some apps that drain you battery like the official Facebook app.
Anyone here actually has the HTC One X ?
I am tempted abt that one (yes, I know about some of the obvious advantages of the S3) but really concerned about battery life.
I know it all comes down to HOW you use your phone; hence I would like some opinion from someone who actually have that phone.
Basically I just need to assure myself that it can last from morning until night with without an extra charge.
I dont use phone for gaming and/or video streaming etc. I have a moderate use of mail, web, social media, camera function etc.
So, I would appreciate it if anyone here could share their (or friend´s) experience with battery life time on HTC One X
Thanks
here are the battery test results for one x, pretty good

i presuem that you are not worried about non removable memory, however, i do know apart from iphone, the build quality is very very good with it's ceramic coating
I tried that. I even turn off my email sync. Not impressed to say the least.

I've got a One X - bought it in the UK on the release day, because I happened to be landing on that day...
The battery life is... highly variable, I'm sorry to say. It's very efficient when sleeping, when the screen is off - I often see pretty much flat lines in the battery use graph for long periods of sleep. It's quite good when the screen is on, but the CPU isn't being stressed - I did an experiment a while ago, left the screen locked on, showing a page from an ebook, but the CPU idle, and the battery went down about 10%-11% in an hour. In theory, you might get up to 9-10 hours with the screen on, but the device idle.
Playing videos, playing games, doing things which run the CPU high? Battery dies, fast - 2, 3, maybe 4 hours if you're lucky.
At this point, I'm reasonably comfortable assuming it'll get a morning-evening (8am to 6pm) sort of life - but I don't trust it to last until night. In other words, if I use it during the day, then take it out at night, I wouldn't rely on it it make it home without any charging at any point.
Any other semi-offtopic questions?
