I don't know which to get I am tore in between both o the phones. Spec wise the galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touchwiz the only thing would suit me will be sense on the galclaxy s 2 but I have heard that it mite hard to port :-\

I dont think TW 4.0 is bad. Its far far more better than crappy 3.0

Spec wise the Galaxy S2 lose.
The new snapdragon looks like more powerfull than tegra 2 / exynos, they give you a screen with more resolution and not using pentile, real rgb not 50% more of amoled plus that is less than real stripe.
a little less ram, but who uses 1gb of ram in a phone?
The only things for what I am going to buy the Galaxy S2, is because in 10 years, HTC has not make a decent camera on a phone and a decent audio quality in par with the iphone or the first galaxy, and this are for me totally killer features. Oh, and the internal phone storage.
In the battle HTC sense vs touchwiz, who cares, at the end most of the people turn off that programs and ends using adw or launcher pro.
It's a tough one. Up until HTC Sensation was announced, I was settled on SGS II. But now I'm in a dilemma.
However, SGS II has a better screen - lower resolution, but using SAMOLED+ instead of SLCD (and the difference is notable). SGS II also has a better front camera, more internal memory (a LOT more, 16 GB vs 1 GB), larger battery capacity, and it's thinner.
HTC on the other hand has a better camera, higher screen resolution, dual-led flash, and it's also on T-Mobile. It also comes with a 8 GB microSD card.

You nailed it for me. While I'm not really familiar with processors, the EVO 4G has a terrible camera and sound quality. Now I'm considering waiting for a sprint galaxy s2 instead of upgrading to the EVO 3D. I know that both phones will be good, but having the better quality photos and video will make me happy.

Apart from the higher resolution offered on Sensation, i can't see how SGSII loses in terms of spec. Initial benchmarks show Exynos perform much better than the new Snapdragon (which is based on the older A8 cortex) but i guess we juz have to wait till May when comparison can be done on retail units instead of those prototypes.
Can't agree more about the camera on HTC phones though. and thats why i'm getting rid of my Desire soon=)
I would have liked to get the Sensation, but I am in an AT&T contract.
Even if I decided to kill the contract and move to T-Mobile, I would be kinda screwed when AT&T acquires TMobile and then the Sensation will not be able to use 3G on AT&T since it does not support the bands.
So between the two I am pretty much forced to get the GS2, or wait and hope the a Sensation build will eventually support AT&T bands, which I will not do...
GS2 looks good enough, but TouchWiz looks awful
edit: ok maybe TW isn't so bad

I'm not so sure about that part. HTC has never been known to release phones with great cameras. Average at best, but not great. E.g desire hd, Mozart, HD2, desire, HD7. They're all average in their leagues.
Samsung on the other hand does release phones with great camera quality. E.g. Wave, Omnia HD, Pixon 12.
However since they haven't released the phone or shown any sample pictures, guess it's too early to judge.

Thought it was a joke when he said HTC has a better camera..
You are probably right about being early to judge Sensation but we're almost certain SGSII is coming with an awesome camera which is confirmed in most previews.
HTC the better camera? Perhaps a #sarcasm tag was needed before that.
In terms of whether the CPU/GPU is better, remains to be seen, there are benchmarks which show each one outperforming the other. Furthermore remains to be seen whether there is any difference in use, even if one is better than the other by a reasonable margin.
For me, I don't like the crappy cameras of HTC and their habbit of crippling great phones with underppwered batteries...I love my HD2 but I cannot forgive HTC for putting a 1230 mAh battery which barely manages to last through a working day!

As good as Sense looks it will be very difficult to port Sense over I guess! Certian aspects of sense are great such as the dialler, peoples app and the keyboard is nice as well.

Hi my question is:
Do you think that HTC will deliver another 'superphone' this year?
Thinking about Q4 2011? Maybe this phone will be better than the Samsung Galaxy SII ?
Maybe it will just be worth waiting!!
Because at the event in London when they presented the HTC Sensation they said more to come this year!!!!
Please leave your opinion here! Thankyou!
Dude relax!
The Sensation is already better than the SGS2, check the upgraded screen resolution...
I am already meditating haha
The point is: The specification is better in the Samsung Galaxy SII but the HTC sense UI is much more attractive and I own the HTC HD2, I really like the HTC's. To bad the specifications are not so good compaired with the SII.
HTC chose not to release the HTC Sensation at the conference in Barcelona this year but couple months later.
Maybe they will bring out the phone that can replace the HD2 ! Because the HTC HD2 was a real NO BRAINER... THE first with a 4.3 inch screen and the best phone for a full year, because the specs of new phones could not compete with the HTC HD2.

Dude, open your eyes! You have just pointed out the only advantage the Sensation has over the SGS2... And all in all, the SGS2 still has the better screen
Dude on a 4.3'' screen it's very important to have this new resolution whatever you have super extra modular amoled plus beta
Both have dual core cpu
Both have 8mp, even dual led for Sensation
Sense 3.0 beat the hell out of touchwiz
I don't care if there are 2% more speed in games lol.
Now I just hope HTC will let us root it and that they upgraded the loudspeaker
Don't get me wrong, I used to be a huge fan of HTC. I currently happily own one. I just think they've lost their touch and are not "innovative" anymore.
Sense 3.0 versus TouchWiz 4.0 is a matter of taste and even though both have dual core CPU and 8MP cameras, Samsung's are significantly better.
The screen may have an improved resolution, but being a pentile matrix it doesn't really make it outstanding. Plus the fact that it's a wider format (16/9) which means less lines of text when reading a web page in landscape mode.
Also the Samsung should have a way better battery life (thanks to the lower consumption screen and CPU).
The dual band Wifi on the Samsung is an interesting point for me as I have dual band routers, and the 5GHz band is faster. The Sensation is single band Wifi, bummer.
Out of the box, there's 16Gb of storage on the Samsung versus 1Gb on the HTC. The Samsung includes all sorts of codecs for audio and video, including mkv. Hello HTC, are we in 2011?
HSPA+ is 21Mbps for the Samsung versus 14.4Mbps for the HTC.
USB host is nowhere to be found in the HTC, is supported by the Samsung.
Audio output quality will be presumably better in the Samsung (wolfson chip).
Should I go on? I have only listed the advantages that are really quantifiables, not just "okay it's 2% faster"...
Sorry dude, HTC is no longer the leader of high-end smartphones it used to be...
So you don't believe HTC will launch a super hot phone in Q4 2011?
I really hope so! Although my plan is finished in August. I am still breaking my head which phone to take? HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy SII.
At this moment I am wondering if there is better to come this year, Worth waiting...
Or should I make a choice? Don't forget I am still owning a HD2 with Android NAND.
Can't wait for both to come to the market and then hear what people say about the phones!!!
Samsung Galaxy S II is already out in UK mate, you can check feedbacks at GSII forums. From what first owners says, it seems perfect really. It's almost fishy as it ticks all boxes.
I have pre-ordered it and will get my hands on it in a week or so, I'll also give the HTC Sensation a shot on may 12th as I'm due to an upgrade so I might give you some feedbacks then
Well apparently there will be a better super hot phone in 2011, according to Eldar Murtazin (Mobile Review) the Samsung Galaxy S III should be released in autumn and is the mother of all phones (iPhone5 competitor).
Don't expect anything but minor improvements/variants from HTC this year as compared to the Sensation.
So if you're not in a hurry, wait for the Galaxy S III. Otherwise just get the Galaxy S II now (it's released in UK and South Korea, other countries to follow shortly)
Thanks for the info. HTC should be the one to bring out the follow up phone for the HD2. They not really did that yet and they know that HD2 was a big succes. The HD Desire is still oldskool. The next generation phones are all with dual core!! I must say: I really hope HTC brings news about some asesome phone coming this Q4 2011.
I really believe in this.
Samsung Galaxy II is already great... can't see III coming soon.
HTC is letting me down at the moment, My girlfriend has the galaxy s, I still prefere HTC though... what to do?

Yep......I couldn't have said that better myself
So I should forget about HTC and HTC SENSE...?
I think touchwizz 4.0 is not so cool as sense 3.0.
HTC is so good in simplicity. They bring their product and the phone is really made to suit you. See all the videos they made for HTC sensation!
HD2 is not a device like other, it's really a computer!
Do you know any phone that can dual boot wm7 and Android?
They could even put ios it wouldn't shock me
HD2 was originally dedicated for wm6.5 only, so if HTC want to launch an HD3 it will be officially for wm7.
I think you mean you want a replacement for the DHD
I want a super android phone!!!! But I don't think their will be better phones this year!
I still thinking, what should I do? My heart says buy the sensation but my brains say buy the SII.... So what to do?
well I think HTC "gave" us the phones for this year.. maybe in the end they will have something new, but what'll be better? maybe 1GB Ram and w/e.. I mean, even the heaviest games to Android dont really need 1GB to work really good.. just keep your phone clean and 768MB and great Sense will do the work.
Also in my opinion, the SGS II is ugly compared to HTC . (Some of the phones of HTC.. like the Desire and Sensation).
I agree for the design, the sgs2 is a pale copy of the old iphone while HTC have their own design and more specially I love the rubber feel at the back
The pro and the cons... between the 2: Samsung wins.
But I just have to wait to see what people say about those phones!
I think I would still go for the HTC Sensation, but if I don't like the design in real life well then it will be the SII.
Htc France did confirm that an Gsm version of the Evo 3d would be available but gave no dates. Hopefully it will arrive Q4! Fingers crossed

As I said earlier you can check feedback about GSII from now. For Sense UI it is better than touchwizz and if it is the only thing that makes you do a compromise when considering the GSII then well a little birdie told me that there may be a solution to fix that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzhtziHD7IY (it is an alpha and it is already running smoother than any HTC to date because of the better hardware of the GS)
SII still beats the EVO 3D. So it suppose to be a new phone from HTC. I need a leak!! Hahaha somewhere it must be clear what kind of phone they will bring out in Q4 2011.
So only one OEM could get the Nexus name, but google will work with each OEM to make their flagship device, so far these have been leaked, and i believe these are their flagship; Imagine flagship releases from Motorola, HTC, and LG with Ice Cream Sandwich available on AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint all at practically the same time… in addition to a Google Nexus handset from Samsung. The summer’s going to be hot, but it looks like the fall might get even hotter. ( http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/27/googl...tured-by-samsung-possibly-dubbed-nexus-prime/ )
LG-LG K: This one is the big daddy. There's no render of the K available yet, but according to Pocketnow it features a "true 720p HD display" and may carry the model number P930. Also said to feature a 4.5-inch display and pixel density similar to that found on the iPhone 4's Retina Display. (http://www.phonedog.com/2011/07/22/...-7-lineup-for-the-second-half-of-2011-leaked/)
Motorola-Details on the Dinara are still light, but so far it's rumored to be packing an "HD" display that's larger than the DROID Bionic's 4.3-incher, Texas Instruments processor, 13-megapixel camera, VGA front-facer, 1GB RAM, a non-removable battery, lock button the right side, and a body that is "identical" to the Bionic but will be both thinner and lighter than the DB. It's said to currently be packing Gingerbread, but it's not clear if it'll come to market with that version of Android or if it'll be bumped up to Ice Cream Sandwich in time for launch. The Dinara is reportedly currently being tested on Verizon, although Droid-Life notes that it could eventually land on multiple carriers. Finally, it's said that the Dinara is slated to launch sometime this winter.(http://www.phonedog.com/2011/07/19/...inter-with-hd-screen-and-13-megapixel-camera/)
Smaung-a monster 720p -resolution display, and we have now confirmed with our source that the screen itself is branded as a “Super AMOLED HD” display. The branding confirms our suspicions that Samsung will indeed be the manufacturer. We have also confirmed that the processor in the upcoming device will be an OMAP4460, just as we originally reported. Hit the jump for more.

Lots of vanilla goodness i hope! Waiting to see what HTC can do with their offering.
Thanks OP!

I'm just hoping Sprint gets some love right off the bat instead of 6 months later like the Nexus S 4G.

Hm, I don't mind HTC's SLCD screens, they're pretty clean. The old AMOLED screens on the first galaxy S series were OK, but since they were Pentile matrix's, the pixelation sorta annoyed me (not as much as on my current Atrix). The new AMOLED Plus screens are fine though.

But AT&T is getting the far superior One X. This is the final straw for me. Once again, T-Mobile gets the second class device, while another carrier gets the top end device. No more. I'm sick of second class equipment.
Ironically, I recently switched home cable providers for the same reason. Wow Cable had old ancient cable boxes which were laggy and had no features. The service is no better on Comcast, but the equipment is MUCH better. How companies like Wow and T-Mobile stay in business, I have no idea.
Why can't all of the providers get the same phones!!! Then they can evenly compete on service!

The At&t One X and T-mobile One S is more a like then you think. The main difference is the One S has a slightly smaller screen and is qHD Super AMOLED vs 720hp super lcd2 for the One X. They both have the next gen S4 which is faster the the 4+1 quad core Tegra 3.

True. But I'm sure most of us would rather have the 4.7 inch 720p screen that the OX has. After playing with my gf's GN often, I don't want anything less than 4.5 inches and 720p display.
Superior or not, I can't wait for this phone to drop.
Plus with the One V having very similar specs to the mytouch 4g this should give us hope of very good ports of ics and sense 4.0!

Yeah, I read that later. It does help because it makes the only appreciable difference the screen. Still though, and like mackster said, I really want the current standard 720p resolution. Not something that came out a year ago! There's always something that keeps T-Mobile a second class carrier.
Yeah, i saw this and i was SOO excited, if the specs are similar, the MT4G will live on foreva!
Edit: Ok guys, i have seen the specs and have compared them...
Here is how the phones stack up: SAME display resolution, ONE V: 512 Ram...MT4G: 768 Ram , Both have single core snapdragon processors. This is definitely a good sign. Our phone is better than the one that has been released (on paper at least) and it should be fairly easy to port the roms given screen resolution. I think HTC just saved our asses. YAY!!!

Don't Just Look At The Highest Specced Phone Today But Look At How The Phones Were Specced RELATIVE To The Year They Came Out And Pick The Phone That You Think Was/Is The Highest Specced Phone That Has Come Out In The Last 5 Years
I'll Start Out With two Examples

Meizu MX4 (Announced In Q2 2011) Explanation: Quadcore in 2011!!!!!!!!!!

HTC Sensation made the jump from average screen resolution and 1ghz processors to the amazing dual core speed and was one of HTC's best designed phones with excellent support, basically the new mighty HD2
There are only 2 phones that have already been mentioned that top this list and tie for each other. The iPhone (as much as I hate to admit it) and the HD2. The iPhone brought about the multi touch glass screens, the UI, and the simplicity. The HD2 brought us speed, storage, customization and functionality.
what about Iphone?
Defy maybe...

I agree the iPhone might have been a contender but Don't forget even though it had many new components, it was missing some standard abilities. For example 3g and smsing images. Also other phones were coming out with the same tech at the same time

HD2 ^^
At the Time, The HD2 was by far ahead of its time, many of our phones now can't even dual boot roms but the hd2 can.
The next phone will be the Lg Lte2

(*Not really the absolut beginning but getting allot of momentum for the Forum)
The mighty HTC BlueAngel
I personaly would list the Hardware Cornerstones as the following: (Not necessarily Software, for that we had XDA)
iPaq H3870, BlueAngel, TyTN 2, HD2, ...., Galaxy Note, .....
HTC BlueAngel (great Hardware)
HTC TyTN 2 (next great Hardware)
HTC HD2 (The Last of the Mohicans)
..... (Dident had to / wanted to change to Android until the Galaxy Note was released)
Samsung Galaxy Note (One of the first besides the iphone 4s to have Glonass support / besides the unsurpassed Screensize)
...... (Galaxy Note will hopefully last until the next great phone comes out)

HTC Sensation made the jump from average screen resolution and 1ghz processors to the amazing dual core speed and was one of HTC's best designed phones with excellent support, basically the new mighty HD2

I have to agree with the fact that the HD2 was the highest specced phone but the Sensation didn't bring nothing except the screen resolution, dual core speed was brought by the LG Optimus 2x, and that Sensation's resolution is nothing compared to the iPhone 4, so the Sensation brought nothing new to the game.

There are only 2 phones that have already been mentioned that top this list and tie for each other. The iPhone (as much as I hate to admit it) and the HD2. The iPhone brought about the multi touch glass screens, the UI, and the simplicity. The HD2 brought us speed, storage, customization and functionality.

I Said Highest SPECCED Not Best In Class

I Said In The Last 5 Years
The Blue Angel Is Almost A Decade Old
Nokia PureView and that impossible 41MP camera. Just the one spec though.
Me thinks Optimus Me,for proving you didn't need cheap Chinese build quality on a low end smartphone
The Galaxy Note for pushing screen size limits
The HTC G1,first proper Droid me thinks
The Nokia N95,last truly proper Nokia market beater
And Nokia N9, for being the best that never was.

True it is 9 years old but since we just got Gingerbread for it it does not feel that old and I did mention a few others. But dont worry you dont have to consider the BlueAngel if it is too old for you.

My old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i had Countinuous Autofocus and it was 8mp, (2010 btw), the dualcore processor in the Sensation isn't as fast as the other dual cores it only manages to keep up because the higher clock speed (1.5ghz vs 1.2ghz(exynos) and 1.0ghz (tegra 2), and Sense, i though this thread was about hardware specs..
