HTC Amaze or T-Mobile SGS II? - General Questions and Answers

I'm planning on getting a new phone next month and ive narrowed it down to the Ruby or the Hercules. Any advice in which one?

HTC Ruby is better

Reasoning?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

it does not compute, how can it be better than the SGS2 ?

It does have a higher clock speed at a rumored 1.5ghz but even at that i'm still leaning towards the Hercules

So with the phones releasing tomorrow, final thoughts anyone? I've watched video reviews of both phones and I like the photographic abilities of the Amaze but I love Samsung phones so final advice?

Gaming Performance

Just looking into a few different options, I'm looking for the smoothest game play and I have a HTC Inspire which game play isn't bad at all, but I ordered a Infuse to see what it would compare too, I know it don't have as much RAM but could anyone shed some light on how game play compares between the two who has had both?
Most likely, id have to say the inspire would run games better, being as it has a snapdragon processor, and it comes factory clocked at 1 ghz.

You get that backwards? Then you also have to account for RAM which inspire has more

Oh yeah, forgot to take RAM into account

I'd wait for the Nexus prime and not order anything.
Nexus will moat likely go to Sprint ?

Didnt you hear? Its the Droid Prime now

So wait, what would cause smoother gameplay? Is it the processor speed or would the amount of RAM be the determining factor?
Both would contribute greatly on any device.

While I don't know the performance difference between the Inspire and Infuse. I do know coming from an Aria, the performance difference between that and the Inspire was huge. I've also fooled around on my buddies Sensation, and I really don't "notice" a difference.
I do ofcourse have my inspire clocked at 1.6 Ghz. =P

Okay well from side by side comparison, the infuse seems to take the cake for me on gaming. The I used custom roms for both and overclocked both infuse to 1.6 and inspire to 1.8 and the infuse seems to have a smoother gameplay. Anyway just what I've seen with a few different games Dungeon Defenders, Pocket Legends, and Order and Chaos.

When you say smoother gameplay, was there that much of a difference between the two?

Yeah I tried leaving the g2x, but this thing is awesome
Don't leave the G2x for the Sensation. I own both and the Sensation thus far is a major disappointment. If you want to leave for a different at least go with SGS2.
I left my g2x for the crapsation, worst mistake ever.. Now I have a g2x again and i'm a happy clam..

Hold out for the Hercules or Prime, not the Sensation. Sensation has what will soon be inferior hardware and it's got its own set of problems.

Don't forget that the HTC Ruby is dropping soon too. It is really not any different than the Sensation plus has a better ffc. People will see both on a tmo table and undoubtedly choose the Ruby. Sensation is dead in the water as far as I'm concerned. I do miss the big screen but 4.5" SAMOLED+ should pretty much give me an eyegasm and make me forget about watching Netflix on my old Sensation.

G2x is a pretty good phone in my opinion, not the best but still good.

what about for the s2
I would trade for the T-Mobile S-II in a heart beat.
I would keep the phone for you. I just traded the mytouch 4g slide for sensation 4g. And I like it but I also like the mytouch 4g slide also. so it was a hard decision to make cause really there the same phone inside so your not losing much there. Just think about it do what's best for you. Tell you the truth the guy that I traded with also wants the sensation back but I don't like Indian traders. It's only a phone so do you and get back to us and tell us how it's going

LG has quietly fixed most of the hardware issues and gingerbread fixed most of the software related issues. The g2x is a beast now with most issues finally fixed.

Check the date it was manufatured. If its an early build Run for the hills. If its a later build like my wifes new one then buy it. If its used its probably an early build.

SG3 for sure. My SG2 running at 1.5ghz with Mystic Glory 4.1 scores almost 5k on Quadrant and beats the HOX.
how did you do that
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I would go with the One X, I think it has a better design and better looking software (I hate touchwiz!) Although I do think the motion cotrols on S3 look pretty awesome. And I think they have gotten to the point where the speed and resolution doesn't matter Anymore.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
Galaxy S 3. HTC one S is a more sensible choice on the HTC side
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
SGS 3
and let's not forget that the SGS 3 has NFC :laugh:
I would go for One X, because of its design and sense. But, probably, SG3 is the most favoured device for now.
