Good review. I wish I could test one out myself..

the Sensation is a pre-release ROM that has yet to be fine-tuned by HTC

Wait what? This is new information. If it's true, then why the heck is that ROM on my phone?
Thanks, very thorough review.
What a load of biased ****. Sorry Sensation brotherhood but your blind if you can't see the straight up favoritism towards the Sensation. In the categories where the GSII wins, he makes up some excuse like, "The GSII is faster because its running on a final release but HTC released the Sensation on a pre-release ROM." Ill be the first to say that I love my camera on my Sensation and that its better than my G2X but if you take the time to fiddle with some settings, the GSII camera is better. Especially during low light conditions.
I know most Sensation owners are going GaGa over this review but I'm not affraid to say it SUCKED. There is nothing I hate more than biased reviews. Especially when someone clearly wastes a **** load of there time to come to a false conclusion. Bottom line. Samsung is innovating with its hardware accelerated browsing and fast ass Exynos chip while HTC is releasing phones clearly not ready for mainstream use.

It's fine that he likes the Sensation better, other people do too. But if you're biased going in, don't pretend to be objective. To JR's point, it's very transparent. There were things that he originally stated about the SGS2 that weren't factual. The writer came back to the SGS2 forum and apologized because he posted a link there a couple of weeks ago and his inaccuracies were pointed out. I didn't reread the article to see if he updated it. If it were just one guy's opinion, and he declared that, fine. It would be like any of us sharing our personal opinions. But to set the comparison up as a detailed semi-professional test and reach some of the conclusions he did, not very credible. And with his constant interjection of his personal opinion, I wouldn't have found him or the article any more credible even if he deemed the SGS2 the winner.

I have the Sensation now and not the SGS2. I would have read all that before release day in the US but I'm happy with my S4G and can't mess with that damn novel.
That review is from June which is probably why they said it was a pre-release ROM. It's probably a review unit they send all around.

It still feels like a pre-release ROM. Does it not? Last time I checked, Sense is anything but smooth. I had to throw LP and ADW on the Sensation to make it feel like a dual core device.

Thank for your comments. For your better understanding HTC chip-set of 1.2 dual core and andreno 220 is far more better that SGS2's 1.2 dual core and 2008's Mali-400 chip-set. I used both the handsets and now using HTC Sensation after SGS2.
The main problem with htc is it's locked boot-loader and it's stock rom which is really not ready to use the full power.. The power is not equally distributed. Benchmark is not everything as sensation has issues with sense 3.0 and better pixels than the SGS2. Below is some link where you can understand the whole technical issues.

So, saying HTC is releasing phones clearly not ready for mainstream use is not true. SGS2 is good as well as the HTC Sensation sometimes sensation is better. When HTC unlocked its boot-loader we all will see. Stay tuned without any bad comments.

Is not FAR more better. Samsung always has some of the best CPUs and GPUs in the mobile market which is why all there devices are always at the top in benchmarks. Bottom line. The GSII is more responsive than our Sensation.

Do you own a SGS2? Exactly how much more responsive is it in real world use from your personal experience? Right now to own one in the US you have to pay 2-3x the price of owning a Sensation, go without a US warranty, and use ATT's network. Or you could move to another country to own it. Is it that much more responsive?
Being theoretically better, having better benchmark numbers , or marginal real world responsiveness isn't the "bottom line" for everyone.
Now i wonder why all the ruckus over the gs2 seems like its not better in real life use. Only better on paper. I'm happy with what i got no problems no worries this phone fast enough for me .

Samnada i agree the phone is useless in the us so why even compare . Is it worth 700 dollars to get a better quadrant score and to take uglier pictures. Samsung has beautiful screens but are made to damn cheap .

No I do not own a GSII for one reason. I refuse to go without 3G and I refuse to give ATT my money. I could care less about the cost of the phone as it would be cheaper than the 2 phones combined I've purchased in the past 2 months. The Sensation and the G2X which I purchased off contract. I have 2 friends that are in ATT and use the GSII. I have played all the games I play on the Sensation on their GSII and the games run smoother on it. I don't doubt that the Adreno 220 is powerful enough to run all my games smoothly but I'm getting sick and tired of HTC releasing their products with half ass drivers.

You must not know what your talking about if you think it takes uglier pictures. It actually has a nicer camera than the Sensation and this reviewer stated so after he found out what settings to change. Yes the Sensation takes better pictures when both are on default settings but the GSII probably has the nicest camera on a phone after you play around with the settings. Not to mention its superior low light performance.

Hi!
I returned my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the store and am now waiting for the HTC Sensation. While the Galaxy S2 is a nice phone, I really despise the TouchWiz. Even with ADW Launcher EX & WidgetLocker mitigating the terribleness of the interface Samsung has built, the stock apps still are very uncomfortable to use - especially e-mail, messaging and calendar are lacking. And most of their other attempts at apps aren't any better - dismal at best.
The back cover is unpleasant to remove which is peeving if you like to switch the battery to a fresh one (although spare batteries are not released till mid-june) or regularly move between different countries and therefore like to change SIMs (like I do).
I also would have preferred a capacitive home-button, instead of a physical switch.
Other bugs (which will probably soon be patched) are bothersome as well, like the 3G data connection regularly stalling - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097612
Specs-wise I think having a higher resolution screen will be a very nice addition, the lower amount of RAM & internal storage probably won't be all that noticeable. I wonder why HTC didn't include an HSPA+ radio, but I think that is something I can definitively live with.
Are any other Samsung Galaxy S2 expatriates lurking on this board? What were your Galaxy-experiences, why are you now waiting for the HTC Sensation instead?
you are in for a bashing.. but good luck

Why? He shared a consice rational review based on how the phone met his expectations. With OP having owned a SGS2 I look forward to a direct comparison to the Sensation by someone who has used them both as their daily driver.
You and epsix get bashed because you're rude, immature, and banter between yourselves like 5 year old school girls at recess. All while adding nothing constructive.

I fully charged my SGS2 and turned on Google latitude (As i was travailing), my phone was in the belt pouch, after about three hours i pull the phone out to make a phone call i found my phone burning hot and battery was almost drained. Couldn't bare any more.
I came back home after few days, returned SGS2 and got Sensation.
Sensation is so far so good, Over all very satisfied.

I didn't mean to paint you as a fanboy. By the same token I'm not a fanboy either. Before the disaster that was the G2X my last five phone's were HTCs and I really liked all of them. I had to get the SGS2 because the Sensation wouldn't have been availbale before the G2X had to be returned to T-Mobile. I would have seriously considered the Sensation if that wasn't the case. I'm a phone geek which is why I'm following the Sensation; not to bash it. Both phones are going to have considerable strengths and weaknesses. We should be able to discuss them without threads turning in to page after page of "yes it is," "no it isn't." Peace.

I disappoint... Galaxy S II is much better!
Since 2003 I'm a HTC sure user but now I have to disappoint at all with you and with HTC!
I'm very sorry the new sensation is just considered worse than Galaxy S II but we have to admit this is the thuth!
1) Also if the Galaxy Display resolution (480x800pxl) is lower than htc sens (540x960) its technology is better than htc because is "amoled" and so we have a lower battery consuption, better coulor and luminosity, and better view when there is much sunlight
2) RAM: 1024Mb for Galaxy, 768Mb for htc: no words.....
3) Internal memory: 16Gb or 32Gb (depends by the phone version) for Galaxy while htc sens have got just 1GB! no words still!!
4) cameras: Samsung first one 8mpxl, second one (frontal) 2mpxl; for htc sens is 8mpxl the first one too, but 1.3mpxl the sencond one....
5) battery consuption: with a very similar usage Galaxy SII lasts about 2 full days, while HTC sens just 1/1,5days
I'm very sad to tell it but this time I'll change and I'll buy a Samsung...
Good decision OP, who cares about SamSux. I'll give give them 2-3 month and all hell will break lose in there. SamSux bashing SamSux, look at our development section phones isn't release and no clockwork mod yet and we have 3 roms already. That just tells you HTC is more superior than SamSux. Untill they change their filesystem, HTC will be prefer choice for dev community. Don't matter what spec they have.

I loved the fact that the Galaxy S2 is a very sleek design, thin and light. But the drawbacks - especially in the software area - are very obvious. Their replacements of stock Google apps are, in general, not better but much worse than the original. Plenty of bugs still plague the software - the current version of Music player causes random reboots, data connection is stalling all the time.
Sense (from what I could test on colleagues phones - mainly Desire HD) seems much more thought out and usable to me. I will, still, probably switch to a stock Android ROM, should one arise. But I don't want to be dependent on that.

While AMOLED certainly does produce excellent black levels and saturated colours (maybe even oversaturated), after owning a Nexus One with AMOLED since release I do think the drawback of the technology is the inevitable screen burn-in you get after a few months of use. Nothing that is really bothersome, but LCD technology certainly does have its advantages (besides the higher resolution)

Considering the high RAM usage of Sense, 1GB would have been nice - but still, 768MB should be plenty.

The actual available application memory on the Galaxy S2 is about 2GB, the rest is formated as an internal SD card. In my situation, I typically have about 500MB of app space used - 2GB would have been a nice, but that will still leave me with plenty of headroom once my Sensation is here. A 32GB SD-card will take care of all other storage problems (mainly podcasts, music).

This will vary greatly, but the battery access cover on the Galaxy S2 is very flimsy and uncomfortable to remove. I always carry a second battery for my Nexus One, I will do the same for my Sensation. Changing batteries on the Galaxy S2 (as soon as replacements are available in stores) will be a hassle.
i've done the opposite i've got rid of my sensation and have back ordered the sgs2 the biggest killer for me was the locked bootloader
i know that htc have said they wont lock any more phones but as yet they havent said that they will unlock previous handsets
i know i'm going to get flamed but i really didnt like the sensation it just didnt sit in my hand properly the sgs2 feels better ...... i know it feels cheaper but whats the point in having the expensive feeling phone if it feels wrong in your hand and therefore is difficult to use

You may get flamed by some of the fanboys, but at the end of the day it's all about what feels good to YOU and stuff the rest. I again prefer the more solid feel and try to avoid "cheap" plasticky feel, plus have been put off by plenty of users in many forums I've been to who knock Samsung's lack of updates. Hopefully for you they sort this out. Good luck with your choice
I probably still have a month or 2 before the Sensation is available here, and am hoping for some positive news re the bootloader saga.

I currently have a G2x as well as the Atrix. Ordered the Sensation and the SGS2 as well. Been using both the G2x and the Atrix for a while now and so far, I'm inclined towards the Atrix even though it has the locked bootloader simply because Ive had too many random reboot issues, freeze issues with the G2x (even though I've returned it twice) and I'm not concerned about the light bleed issue.
Once I've received the SGS2 and the Sensation (This Tuesday woohooo!!), I'll have all 4 to test with side by side. Will narrow it down to the top 2 and those are the ones I'm keeping I usually have 2 phones (1 work, 1 personal). If anyone has any suggestions or want me to look at/compare something in specific, let me know.

That's a tough question to ask as everyone's tied to a carrier in the U.S. Someone on Sprint could get almost the same experience with the E3D. The Holiday's coming to AT&T later this year. So being "best" is all relative unless people are willing to switch carriers just to get the Sensation. Maybe a better question would be "is it the best phone on T-Mobile U.S.?" That should get you some spirited debate.

I actually vote for the Evo 3D. It lagged a lot less for me, and the screen looked a LOT nicer. Not to mention the 3D features which honestly, even though I was skeptical, are pretty damn cool.
Alas, I had to drop Sprint just as soon as I tried it, because T-Mobile service is WAY better than Sprint around here. I love the Sensation, but I think I was happier with the Evo.

Well here's the differences between both. I've said it many times, it's up everyone to decide which is more important.
Sensation
1080p video recording
8 MP camera (megapixels don't really matter, but it is a better camera regardless)
Aluminum unibody
Thinner
World phone (small one)
EVO 3D
More RAM
Better FFC (1.3 MP as opposed to VGA on Sensation)
3D (could be a plus for some, minus for others)
To be 100% honest and unbiased The Evo 3D and The Sensation 4G are tied since they are same device Evo 3D has more ram but ****ty cameras The sensation 4G has much better camera 1 8mp versus 2 5mp

People keep using that resolution argument, but it seems that the mytouch 4g slide and sensation get the same scores despite the resolution disparity, so I I'm inclined to believe that res has less to do with the scores than what is believed

Like what? Sensation has a better camera but we got more RAM and the biggest feature to have 3D. And since they are running the exact same ROM the only thing you can do that we can't is wifi calling and I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could get a work around for the other devices. So what other features?

Listed it above. I don't know if 3D is a "big" feature, though. It's more of a gimmick than anything IMO.
Let me clarify something now: I never once said the Sensation was hands down the best phone out right now. I said it was arguably the best and it has some features the EVO 3D doesn't, which is true. But the EVO 3D also has features the Sensation doesn't have. And I'll restate this again: it's up to the buyer to decide which features are more important to them.

The Sensation has better a better camera, better build materials, WiFi calling will not work with any other carrier in the US, faster 3G/4G data speeds, NO 3D.. the Sensation 4G is just better with no gimmicks. The Evo 3D is different with more draw backs.
Like what? Sensation has a better camera but we got more RAM and the biggest feature to have 3D. And since they are running the exact same ROM the only thing you can do that we can't is wifi calling and I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could get a work around for the other devices. So what other features?

I been developing far to long to not know my abilities. Like i said I can make WiFi calling work for Sprint and at&t now verizon I might not be able to do. But it is possible. Hey let's say we put up a little wager on it? Side note 3D is way more this a gimmick ask any one with the device and better build materials? You serously did not just say that. But I'm a good Dev and I'm not here to use knowledge to embarrass you. Though you beat me to it.

I'd bet you but when you lose you I know you won't pay up.
You can't get Kineto WiFi calling to work with any other US carrier.

As far as the Wifi Calling it would be a challenge but it's possible. 3D is cool but a gimmick. The Evo does have a nice build but the Sensation has it beat. The capacitive buttons on the Evo are so ****ing ugly and the phone just doesn't feel as nice in the hand. Still would prefer the Evo3D to just about any device. You're splitting hairs. HTC just knows how to make a sexy phone.

Dude...shut the **** up!!!
The OP clearly asked if the Sensation is the best device currently available in the US. And you have clearly attempted to hijack and troll this thread, by waving around your supposed prowess as a "developer." I (and possibly many others) don't give a **** if you can get Wifi calling to work on the Evo 3D, as that does not answer the OP's question.
Now back to the question at hand. In my opinion the Sensation is the best phone available at the moment. However, if I was locked into Sprint I would consider owning the Evo 3D.
ITs not just about the features, it's also the buod quality of the sensation is second to none of any smartphone right now. Also tmobile 4g is pretty good, wifi calling, I heard that sprint 3G suck so bad it's not even funny. Some people may say we can just compare the phones and specs, but a phone as also as good as his network. For example i was thinking of buying an unlocked galaxy s 2 from amazon but what is the point if I only get an edge signal? Na mean?

Are you really asking that question on a sensation forum?
no , i am just kidding buddy
actually i would love to ask some one honest , that's why i am asking here
Well i'm not really in much of a positon to comment, as I have a Sensation!
If I were you i'd read all the reviews out there and have a play with both phones in the store, then make your mind up!
S2 anytime sensation is slow compared (had both) amd battery on sensation gets so hot its frightening . The s2 scores around 3500 on quadrant and the sensation around 2400 but its same processor that should tell you something. Also the screen on the s2 is nicer
There is one downfall with the s2 and thats the pink spot on the camera but software has sorted most problems out
If you get s2 you wont be disappointed I know I wasn't

I have a sensation and a HD2.
Last weekend had the chance to play a couple of minutes with the GS2.
And one thing really got my attention.
The GS2 feels really really big!! I mean brick like big!
And I'm saying that when also owning a HD2 so I'm used to big phones
In all the reviews I've read, the consensus is the the GSII is marginally quicker, but is lacking in build quality. There is also the debate of SAMOLED+ vs qHD SLCD.
I have never been a fan of Samsung. HTC has yet to do me wrong.
Best advice I can give you is to find one of each and out them through their paces. Pick the one that you like more. Easy, right?

It isn't the same chip, clock speed and the overall ARM architecture are the only similarities. Also, the Sensation is running a much higher pixel count, so will under-perform in comparison due to the extra graphical requirements.
These points above have been covered on this forum countless times before.
Both have there strengths and weaknesses. I have a Sensation but will probably buy a GSII once they release stateside. I love the look of Super AMOLED displays and believe it or not, I like Touch Wiz for the simple fact that its light weight and when I run ADW on top of it, you don't eveb know its running besides the fact, you get to keep some cool features from it such as swiping left and right on a contact to start a text message or call them. I also like Samsung as a whole. I have 4 Samsung LED TV's in my house and every one of them looks superb. My 4 Samsung LCD's prior to them all looked perfect as well and I never had a problem with them in the 5 years I owned them. I also like the fact that Samsung is innovating in multiple markets. They make the LED panels for Sony and then Sony slaps there name and a new menu onto the TV and over charges the **** out of it. When it comes to display technology, nobody can hold a candle to Samsung as they are leading that industry aswell. When it comes to mobile devices, Samsung has been leading in processing power since the debut of the Hummingbird. I like the fact how they design the phone from the ground up but most every other company just purchases genaric parts or parts from Samsung to complete there phones.
In the end, there both good phones but I don't like how HTC can't optimize their drivers for the life of them. They've been like that since Winmo. They also could have done a better job with Sense 3.0 but its obvious they didn't optimize that either.

I'm not a big fan of samoled... colors are vibrant but look artificial.
not feeling the lower resolution as well.
any screen over 4" need to be qhd at the least.
I do wish in the near future these manufacturers get it through their heads and give us the ability to calibrate the screen.
anyway, both good phones.
can't really go wrong with either. just got to pick the one that fits your taste more.
I prefer the built quality, style/look of the Senny and I like Sense UI...
S2 seems to be a solid phone, minus the cheap feeling plastic case.

Please, define "better"!
- faster?
- better housing?
- less weight?
- display resolution?
- battery lasts?

Get neither. Just wait a month or so and get the Samsung Hercules.
As the title states, I've switched from the Galaxy S II (T-Mobile variant) to the Sensation. While most people might say why would you do such a thing hear me out first. I was offered $200 cash and a mint condition Sensation with all accessories included for my GSII and I needed cash (Christmas to blame) .
I am honestly impressed with the Sensation. Browser scrolling is a million times faster and smoother than the GSII, the screen looks gorgeous on the Sensation (no pixelation at all thanks to QHD). The only thing I miss with the GSII is the gorgeous video/picture quality and louder speaker. Surprisingly I've noticed that my data connection is even better.
I also love that the dev community is larger over here.
EDIT: I've owned a Sensation 4g when it first came out and had nothing but hell with it. This Sensation doesn't overheat, doesn't have signal issues or screen issues like the one I had way back. I love this phone.

Interesting to get a proper comparison between the two from somebody will actual experience (instead of the 'my dad could bash your dad' type comments we usually see).
I looked at the GSII before getting my sensation and generally didn't like the feel of it in my hand. That might sound like a lame reason but in reality there isn't much difference in the hardware, and software / firmware is pretty much irrelevant once you root it
I've been playing around with my mother in laws Tmobile SGII, and there are definitely pros and cons to both.
I love the screen size of the Samsung. It's damn near perfect in that regard. And let's not even talk about the black level and colors. They both outclass the sensation. But the resolution jump is definitely noticeable on the sensation. I'd love the Samsung screen with higher resolution.
As far as speed and smoothness goes, sometimes the Samsung is kinda choppy and slow. The sensation seems a bit zippier to me sometimes. Both stock.
But, if given the chance to trade for a Samsung.......I'm not so sure I wouldn't.

The Sensation and the Galaxy S2 came out around the same time to go against each other and both are really good phones. Sucks that we had to wait until 2 months ago for the S2 to come to the states, if not then I would have probably gotten the S2. But then again I've always been an HTC person and love the build quality on their phones. But one thing, I've been following the Sensation since the pyramid rumors and really couldn't give up.

The GSII outshines this phone in just about every department spec wise. Larger battery (1850 mah with NFC chip), 2mp front cam, louder speaker, etc. Also maybe its just me but the screen on this phone doesn't feel as sensitive as my GSII did when texting on the keyboard.
I AM NOT BASHING THIS PHONE IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM!
On another note, I do love how optimized the software is. TouchWiz was a little choppy and laggy for me. Sense 3.0 feels so smooth. I also love having a led flash even though there's alternative apps that can serve as a notification for the GSII. I am even more than grateful for our dev community (even though my phone isn't rooted yet). I think the screen size on the Sensation is just right. The GSII's screen was a little too. Wide and long for my fingers. The phone would often hurt my fingers trying to pull down the notification bar for example. Users with larger hands would love the GSII's screen real estate. I love both phones equally.

I do notice that the Sensation has the dead grip issue, which most phones have. With GSII I didn't really notice the issue at all. The Sensation seems to be loading web pages significantly faster than the GSII. I don't believe all the hype about 42mbps (GSII) vs 21mbps (Sensation) although the GSII was no slouch when it came to browsing the net in well covered areas.

I do admit that a 4 inch screen as Arron (from Phonedog) would say "is the sweet spot". My old Vibrant and Nexus S made me realize this quickly. The benefit of that extra .3 inch is more screen for viewing, but I honestly wouldn't mind buying a super phone with a 4 inch screen.

The GSII is relevant commercial wise. Check out the dev community and see which device is more relevant. We have a couple different ICS roms working already. The GSII has none. We have more devs and that's not just because this phone was released earlier, I believe timing played apart of it. This phone was released around the time of the G2x and a lot of people didn't want to take a chance with LG so they chose this phone instead.
EDIT: That's like saying the HD2 or G1 isn't relevant anymore when those 2 phones have one of the largest dev community. Just cause you don't see commercials doesn't mean it isn't relevant.

Interesting. It seems you have gotten a almost new sensation. Not to be mean, but the problem's with the sensation first comes after a while, mine sensation was the best in the first few weeks, but after that it just went down.
Also I disagree on that the sensation got a better screen. The SG2 does have the best screen available.
But you did for Christmas so it wasn't that bad
The only problem I have with my HTC Sensation is power button which is fixed in ICS and of course the power use issues which take a lot of tweaking even with a bigger battery.

I'm sorry but, wut?
800x480 on a 4.52" screen... awesome... not!
newer android phones like the Galaxy Nexus has the best screen out.
I'd take the qHD screen over the one on the SGS2 any day of the week.
I've had my Senny since launch and have yet to have any problems.
not sure what kind of problems you had with your Senny but perhaps you got a defective unit.
I think the 4.3"(with 16.9 aspect ratio) screen is perfect.
Not sure how I'd feel with the bigger screens coming out now but that seems to be the way it's going so...

I love the GSII but you're right about the screen not being superior to the Sensation as far as resolution. When it comes to colors and use in the sun the GSII almost has no glare at all. The blacks are actually black! Both phones are great. Its just a matter of preference. The whites on the Sensation are actually white versus the GSII blueish white hue.

Welcome =).
My other half has a S2 and at times im jealous that it feels so smooth and kicks my phones ass at almost every benchmark. I have to enable both cores and use a different kernel to keep up. to her stock phone. Samsung do make some quick internal specs. Shame it looks like a childs play thing
Still my XE is still the better phone for its better looks and awesome user experience.
I am currently using T-Mobile G2X.
I am planning to jump ship to different phone.
My choice are HTC SENSATION and Samsung Galaxy R.
Can anybody point me to some benchmark that compares g2x with GB and sensation?
most of the comparisons done so far only with froyo g2x and GB sensation and sensation wins.
Moreover do you people find the battery capacity reasonable?
For dual core, 4.3" qhd screen having phone, isn't 1520 mah battery too tiny?

That is without Hardware acceleration and stock tests.
I am referring the phonedog comparison of G2X and sensation.
In which they ran 3d benchmark against g2x running 2.2 and sensation runnning 2.3
Sensation got a score of 1900 and g2x got a score of 2300, if hardware acceleration may not be taken into account then it wont be for g2x also no?

And benchmarks don't mean you-know-what.
Slowest dual core? lolno.
Ive only been here a couple of months. Ive gathered quite a bit reading all these forums. Ive read up on stuff like these elsewhere. Ive also played around with a LOT of phones. And by playing around I dont mean the 15 mins in a shop opening apps and checking camera of different phones before you buy them. My friends have pretty good phones (O2X, GS2, GS, Desire HD, O3D, Xperia arc, neo etc)
Ive done almost everything there is to do on those phones and always I end up glad I have my sensation. Looks - hands down winner. Sexiest phone ever, tied with the arc imo. Its no slouch. Benchmarks? I get **** high scores on custom ROMS. After I proved it, I uninstalled the apps from my phone cos they meant nothing. People are always gonna claim their phone is better and cos an app gave them a coloured bar with a nice big number, its way faster. Trust me, you're gonna be glad you got a senny. (Unless its defective of course) S2 feels like crap, runs at the same speed mine does if not seemingly slower and the screen is tough to work with. (SAMOLED? lol not as cool as it claims to be) and its less responsive than mine. Im happier with my sensation than I would have been with any other phone in almost EVERY aspect. The xperia Live's speaker volume has me a bit jealous but thats about it. I use earphones anyway. G2X feels awful. I cant work with it. Ever. And the camera on the senny blows the others outta the water. With the crap HTC drivers and the asynchronous system, the senny is bloody amazing and can easily easily keep up with any phone and beat the crap out of most. Wait till ICS. Proper ICS.
Ok end of rant. If anyone says your phone is the slowest dual core - laugh. Then walk away
Oh and all the websites that review phones.. I relied on them quite a bit myself. Trusted the pics of benchmarks they put up and read how they reviewed phones and took tiny little things like the 2MP FFC on the S2 and worshipped it, etc etc. 90% of those sites have no idea what theyre talking about. Any phone with the bigger MHz clock speed on the box is faster. .7MP more FFC is holyshishkebab. phone is .3mm slimmer! OH MY GOD! Thats the basic idea. Dont trust that. Do your own research.
Now - actual end of rant.
Thanks for your rant, as even I am now owning a sensation too.
I am an avid fan of Htc sense ui,
I didn't know any other strength of HTC sensation before reading your post.
Eventhough g2x is more slimmer than sensation, in look wise sensation is class apart from any android Mobile phone and can be comparable only with Sony Ericsson xperia arc and iPhone
