Please help I'm jet another one due an upgrade can't decide what to get my mind is set on either the Samsung galaxy s2 or the HTC Sensation. I know the the Samsung is a better phone spec wise but I love the HTC set up and build quality and currently have the the new sense 3 rom on my desire and do love it along with HTC widgets. The thing I do hate is the small amount of storage the sensation offers compared to the sgs2 please help me decide.

I'd stick HTC. You'd probably get better performance out of a Sensation compared to the Samsung anyways. Rooted or not
HTC of course and then enjoy it on the wonderful XDA forum!
I really want the HTC but not sure 1GB is enough space don't want to have to keep uninstalling apps cuz the memory is full this is my only worry.

Check this active thread for a lot of scoop comparing them here
Rooted phones can move most apps to the SD card. 1GB should be more than enough internal space.
Besides, you can always try one for a few days and if you don't like it you can get the other one.
like Sumsung.
HTC, my first smart phone, give up for battery issues
Having been lucky to be able to use the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II
Mind you this is my own personal choice on the matter not related to any reviews being currently done.
HTC Sensation has a nicer and flowing concept feels more natural to hold and use. The mechanics of, and I agree is not on the same specs level as the GS2, but definitely well worth it.
Like most have said if you do root your phone you can easily move most of your apps to your SD. With an SD of 32gb you won't have to worry about carrying to many apps.
I on the other end tend to carry only the required apps and off time RPG's I play from Gameloft.
Either phone right now are a great buy but I'd stick with the HTC Sensation.
Cheers mate.
Galaxy S2 for me it is a no brainer. I just wish I was up for a new phone in July when it is coming
Definitely the HTC, it's just better quality and there is so much you can do to enhance the phone from rooting to flashing new roms, that storage will be the least of your worries.
With the newer HTC phones you do not need to be rooted to move your apps to the SD Card. HTC vs Samsung should not even be a comparison. HTC all day!
This is not based on a comparison but I am really liking the speed, screen and camera (1080p recording!) of my SGS II.
For me it's the king of smartphones.
SGSII is the fastest/best smartphone in the world right now, hands down.
Its not even a competition.
Thanks for all your thoughts most have given me the answer I wanted the HTC but after some serious thought I'm am still being pulled towards the SGS2. I once was a big believer that when you buy a phone you you should just be able to use it and not have to mod it for it to be useable. After having 2 HTC's the hero and the desire and their customer support not great (how long should you really have to wait for an update) I can see the same thing is going to happen with the sensation. I had to root both of them just to get the latest updates and now I am rather into the whole tinkering thing and as it stands the HTC is not rootable ( I know its coming BUT WHEN HTC) and the Samsung is ( VERY EASILY). So with much regret I'm going to say good bye to HTC and the much loved sense3.0 at lest for my 2 week trial. And if I learn to love it then hate it, it will only be for 18 months until my next renewal.

Of course HTC.
Now days such hardware like S2 isn't support by software yet.
S2 is faster, and so.....? S2 is not that UI friendly as HTC.
So I prefer HTC!
You all preffer phone you would like. But it really depends on what you want to use your phone. Productivity ? Gaming ? And now you know what you want...
Productivity > HTC
Gaming > SGS2
We dont even need to talk about it, I think gaming on HTC Sensation really Suck i had it in my hands and like me O2X still more. But i would preffer SGS2 bcuz i play Dungeon Deffenders, And every new level its more laggy So i need something really strong. But both are.. You must Choose Productivity<Gaming or Productivity>Gaming
Thanks that sums it up even more I want the ability to play more games.

SGS2. Clear choice.
Check out www.gsmarena.com and use their compare option.
I say Galaxy Nexus if on VZW if not import (if you can) for T-Mobile or ATT. Since this has awesome dev support, Nexii always do. Or just wait for quad core phones CES is next week. If you can't wait I say gs2 on any carrier but VZW

The back of it looks pretty good, made of aluminium.

If you value 3rd party dev support, then I would probably pick samsung or htc, as they have rather big dev community

not sure if you have seen the drop test of Galaxy phones vs Iphones
but just today i had my first hand real life experience
took the phone out of my front shirt pocket, shoulder height and my fingers slipped, it went face down straight to a concrete floor (it bounced like 4 times before coming to a full stop) and it's still alive and kicking, except for a few scratches on the bezel everything is fine.
as you can see from y siggy, it's a SGS2 from Tmo
ok guys i m going to buy SGSII
thanks for yours comments
Just get a samsung epic you can get them brand new for like $200 or so, with a memory card, the II isn't worth the extra money.
My question is simply: do people using an HTC phone enjoy all that it has to offer or do you like other phones like samsung or lg more?
There's alot of HTC users here...so don't kill me of what I think about HTC ... I have HTC but don't like the soft ware on them, some phones feel kinda cheap...my first and last HTC phone, I would buy again if they take away sense roms, HTC comes out with phones like every 5 min...or is it 6? I like LG and Samsung better

Well I agreed with Android311 People nowadays are moving from HTC to Samsung
Itz because their failures .They Are looking on Quick profits . So they Launched Lot of devices in a one quarter. And there arn't any proper Flagship (First i thought their flagship device is Sensation And then they released Sensation XE and Sensation XL)
And Also HTC arn't working on Updating process of their old devices (Such As DHD)
I had an HTC Incredible until I changed to a Droid 3. I never regret it, I had nothing against it, but my Droid 3 seems higher quality. Since I always change to CM, software didn't make a difference.

I have motorola atrix for a year now and very satisfied with it. I have also used HTC and samsung phones, Samsung devices are much better than HTC.
Yes are right, quick profits, when I see a company making or trying to make quick profits they are setting themselves up for failure all they want is money asap, companys like LG or Samsung make phones with quality, sure they may not be making money as fast as htc but they have long term customers who are loyal to the brand wich is the key to a bussiness....

I've got a EVO 4G, I think it's a pretty good phone. Too much plastic on it though.
i agree with most people here HTC software is made just to last until their next phone comes out. their phones look nice but quickly begin to lag and freeze i prefer LG ever since i used an LG G2X
HTC spend time making and designing their phones to make sure their users have a good experience, where as Samsung pop one out every day. Thats my opinion.
Since I got my first HTC (touch dual) i felt very impressed, but the last HTC i purchased, the HD MINI(photon) was pretty limited by the WM6.5 version, which had no apps in comparison to the Android market.
Then HTC started to sell phones with androidSO and must say they're pretty impressive(not like the GalaxySII).

Im using a HTC phone, but i think samsung phones are much better in term of quality and stability.
But HTC is a lot more creative compared to samsung.. Sense is like the best invented UI ever...
I hope that HTC can improve on their quality and stability..
Samsung phones are best. HTC phones are nowhere near.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The HTC feels like a much better phone, unlike the Samsungs that can feel a bit plastic.
Sense is a difficult topic, at the sacrifice of performance for what HTC view as a better interface, its very subjective. It also means slower updates and they still launch way too many devices.
Htc phones are very good phones indeed.To me their type of phones is like targeted to higher upper people kind type.While Samsung even though its still using plastic still capture the simplistic shape and figure of a phone.
Hi guys,
I have a question i didn't know where to post this concedering its not for a particular device or platform so i posted it here any way here is my question i have a HTC EVO 3D and i want to upgrade,why do i want to upgrade 2 reasons number one screen size its too small i had a GALAXY Note so when i went back to the EVO its small and the second one is the Processor its fast but not too fast anyway i was planning on buying the GALAX S III international version when it comes out but after i saw the price i was surprised its 800$ for the 16 GB so im stuck with the following and i need an advice (of course if by the time the S III comes out the price drops to around 600-650 i'll buy it )
Here are the phones im thinking of (and if u have other phones please tell me)
1- HTC One X international version
2-HTC Titan II
3-GALAXY Note
Please help thank you.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
I'd go for the Note. Cheaper and overall better. Sure the One X is quadcore, but Tegra kinda sucks so the extra buck you have to add isn't really worth it. Titan is quite meh.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Go for the One X , the screen is better the CPU is very fast and the GPU with custom roms increase the phones overall performance. I would only recommand the GALAXY Note if you email a lot because it feels like the note is designed for the business person in mind.
I don't know what kind of prices you got there guys but here the Note is about 200€ cheaper than the One X, which isn't that much better, not like 200€-better for sure IMHO. It actually is inferior for some aspects, like screen size (and pentile ain't bad on a 5.3"), removable battery, sd slot, and that pen thing that is mostly a gimmick but oh well. Once it gets even cheaper I'll definitely pull the trigger on one of those. I used one for a day last week, coupled with an extended battery and a Rii Keyboard it proved to be a very nice and portable mini tablet, the tablet mode you get on AOSP ROMs is also pretty sick. Not a great fan of those new Htc phones with locked bootloaders and all that jazz. ICS sources for the Note have just been released by the way, even better ROMs will come very soon, even tho AOKPs are already 99% hack free and rock solid.

Use a website like phonescoop.com to compare them side-by-side. See exactly what each specs are and which one has the specs you really care about. That would be of great help.

HTC One X
HTC Sence UI beats Note in 100 ways
Why not the nexus. Its much cheaper than the s3 and its a great phone. Still one of the best and probably the best price/goodness ratio.
galaxy note is the best
i have one and it's greate
I like the GALAXY Nexus cause of its display and stock ICS but i use SD Card so i need a phone with an option to expaned my memory but i kept the HTC One X cause of its Quad Core Processor
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
I dont know the price is kinda of an issue but and the screen size (im a fan of the 5"screens) its of course better in preformance no doubt but im from the few fans of the Touchwiz UI its more simple than the Sense UIor maybe cause im used to it i had 3 devices with TouchWiz so i find it easier but still the HTC One X stunning camera,preformance and display is a plus
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Ok but the One X have a worst battery than the EVO 3D....
Galaxy Note or Galaxy S2.. with additional batteries
if easy to hold better take s2 if you want better take galaxy note or tab
I dont know but HTC devices tend to have bad battery life for some reason LOL

Galaxy Note very big I think.. You can't touch all screen by one hand, sometimes I you'll need that.. S2 The Best!
HTC good but not good enough
It's a year in, and I'm still really enjoying my Samsung infuse. true 4g would be nice, but the devs are working on Miui ICS and it looks awesome
i used all of them. my advice is : GALAXY Note is a good one if you don't mind the big size. then chose GALAXY S2 !

4g is good.. very good.. great, but in some places there is no 4g unfortunately only 3g or worst.
I'd like my S2 to have 4g, but it's not.. Maybe you'd better wait for S3?
I dont mind the big screen actually i want something bigger than 4.3" i dont know why many people think its too big im really into big devices but not over 5.3" cause that would be really inconvienent for a mobile phone thats why i kept in mind choices like the HTC Titan 1/2 cause i really like the Metro UI and WP is kinda between the line of simplicity and costumizations still android is the best im freaking confused guys tell me more about ur experiance with the devices ur advising thanks

Hey guys i am new here so sorry if i am posting in wrong section..i wanted a lil bit advice on buying a new phone
i was first about to buy Dell venue pro...read its reviews stating poor battery life...i really loved this phone but cancelled it from my list
Now my current choices are HTC Evo 3d ,HTC Sensation XL , HTC Titan
Samsung Galaxy S3 Is OPTIONAL
Now heres what i've collected research
HTC EVO 3D :- Pros-Blazing fast ,Rugged,Dedicated camera key,3D videos and pics
Cons-3D Sometimes gives headache,bulky
some more info i got on this phone is LG Optimus 3d is better than this in terms of 3d...but i am a brand loyal guy.
Additional questions : I know that its glasses free 3D but if i use glasses will it give me more immersive experience ?
HTC Sensation XL :- Pros- GIGANTIC 4.7 inch display,Sexy looking beast
Cons-No microsd slot only internal memory, 8mp camera is decent
some more info i got is XL in some cases out performs XE which is dual core
HTC Titan :- Pros-Massive but beautiful 4.7 inch display ,butter smooth than android
Cons- no micro sd slot,Windows phone, no bluetooth
Now let me tell you that i am a very rough user of mobile ..no i dont wrestle with mobiles...but my usage is very harsh
like when i arrive at home i throw my mobile 6 meters far at 4 feet height..so i want my mobile to be durable
I dont get hyped by RAM ,Speed,Apps...seriously i am not gonna die if my app loads 3-10 seconds late than other mobile
speed is not an issue and so is lag...like the pinch to zoom lag and all...I am all about 60% showoff and 40% mobile use
i.e 60% mobile should be sexy looking cosmetic beast and 40% overall mobile features
i am favouring towards sensation xl because of its huge display...but the "Beats" thing is gimmicky ..but its sexy looking
Evo 3d is Nearly indestructible with 3d features
and last but not the least i consider titan as "The larger HD2" with windows phone
BTW S3 is option because its cheaply built...
PS :- before anyone giving me advice on other phones pls read below
I am not an apple fanboy..the best use of iphone is to show other people that you can afford an iphone , so no iphone

Look at the s3. It seems to have everything you are wanting (based off your pros and cons of the other devices). It's really fast, has a micro sd slot, 8mega pixel camera, quad core (the international version), it's not super rigged, but there's no real reason to throw your phone (and just get a good case). Ih, and it has a great xda community.

Agree its one of the best devices yet...but you know i feels way to plasticy ...nd also i've got a dog who sees mobile phones as bones..still thanx for suggestion...what about other phones mentioned
Altough you have not mentioned this, I suggest you take a look at the HTC One X. It has nice styling, something you said is more important than pure performance. It's performance will also leave you satisfied as it's among the best android smartphones out there. Sure, it has no MicroSD slot, but nothing OTG can't solve.
In my opinion, you should check that out too before you make a decision. :good:
Honestly my opinion is there is no new phone that is durable, but there are really good heavy duty covers. So don't look for a strong phone they're all the same.
Although my HTC desire HD was good with the metal housing.

In either case, I will recommend something. Don't get a WP until WP8 comes out. Otherwise you're just buying into a dead end that not even xda can likely fix.
For durability, and if you're on AT&T, try the Samsung Rugby Smart. Or even better, try not to throw your phones. :silly:
If you gonna throw your phone, phones like Motorola Razr, Xperia Go are the ones for you...
