Sensation vs. Galaxy S2 - HTC Sensation

Hi, just planning to upgrade from my Atrix.
Which one would you suggest?

S2 for sure! It is one of the best phones out there!

Hardware wise, similar - Sensation can be just as good. AMOLED is lovely, but to over-saturated for me, plus it being 800*480 rather than our qHD resolution, it's nice not being able to see as many pixels on the Sensation. I guess it also comes down to if ( wether means castrated ram ) you want a horrid plastic phone or a decent aluminium and soft touch plastic masterpiece

If you go Sensation, just know, anything less than qHD will look 2007. It's really weird how that works, but nothing's quite like it. I know the Galaxy Nexus has 720p display, but it's penntile, so it's not really HD.

If you're no fan of sense, then go for SGS II. It's great phone, my wife has one, the screen is marvelous. I'm fan of sense, so I have a sensation which is great too..
One thing: the sensation can be hold better / nicer than the SGSII, for Samsung you need a cover, to keep grip..

[Q] HTC sensation or Galaxy s 2??

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4d-wWCf4CQ&feature=feedu
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!

[Q] Desire S vs Samsung Galaxy S (Super AMOLED)

Hello evrybdy i am from India and i am wntng 2 buy an android fone...bt i am confused between the HTC Desire S and the Samsung Galaxy S (Super AMOLED) ...cn u all plss help me...and duz d Desire S really have a Death Grip?
it's no death grip it's just htc's reason to buy a new phone
Never had the death grip problem... but saw it on a youtube video... i think i twas fixed or something
yeah probably fixed, although i still have issues with mine, so i really dont know what video you guys were looking at
well i got the issues too and i'm on htc's latest rom
anyway i hardly think its a hardware fault and a bit software, so i don't think they are able to fix it
software fix helped me to reduce the death grip to 1bar wireless signal but not to kill the death grip fully
The Desire S is so much better than the Galaxy S. The ONLY thing the Galaxy S has going for it is its GPU (which isnt that much better) and Super AMOLED, but there is a significant decrease in screen sharpness because of the PenTile arrangement, so Super AMOLED is actually a hindrance.
Sgs without a shadow of doubt

i wont use custom roms, yet, so not worried abt bricking anwway ! but i will install lagfix + root..
easily done from the market?
i think he talks about ram (512mb vs. 768mb)
Okay, i could choose which one to buy and i bought desire s.. why?
-Htc sense looks a lot better then touch wiz....
-3.7 inch screen..(yeah.. i dont think bigger = better)
-i really like the design... and its made of one piece of alluminium and that.. really safe phone.
-Had HTC in the past.. and never had problems with them.. they rock
-Flash camera... yeah.. makes a big difference
Both of them are great phones... but they are still phones.. choose with one you would like from the design.. and not from what inside... they are pretty much the same inside. And about the super amoled...you cant say its a pro, its different.

personally - its specsover looks! i dont want a nice phone but crap specs! i rather have a better one!
personally i prefer bigger screens! (mos my drvices are all large screen)
thats one major favor of the sgs for me! (large super amoled + screen)
you cant deny amoled kills slcd! sure it'll burn out on day, but amoled kills slcd!
i like desire s becayse its great out the box! nice ui, no lag fixes needed etc!
but it has a small community..
the sgs is old now though

HTC sensation Vs. Samsung galaxy s2

HTC sensation vs. SAMSUNG Galaxy S2
imagine htc sensation without clock and weather widget,
and weather effects in home screen?? so, what is htc sensation for?
haha
samsung galaxy s2, you can add weather and clock widgets,
but no weather effect...right? but samsung galaxy s2
is better screen and lcd..
...
but, these 2 smart phones are android os running...
iphone ios goodbye...hehe Freak.
anyone can help me? what is the best phone ? galaxy s2 or htc sensation...
help guys...
you can't really compare the two, you should either be comparing the Sensation and the Vibrant 4G or the S2 and the Amaze (pretty much the new Sensation)

But Sensation is a dual core phone, Vibrant or SGS4G are single core phones.
Oh, and yes, SII is better.
yes sll is better
choosing a phone..
Ive had an HD2 running NAND roms (cmylxgo,hyperdroid...) and really liked it. Touch screen went out (i ordered a new one to try and save it).
Just bought Galaxy s2 for wife and Sensation 4G for me-tmobile 14 day trial will allow me to exchange the one I like the least.
Heres the problem.
My rooted HD2 seemed FASTER internet, CLEARER video streaming, better BATTERY (Yes, I said it!) and overall better than Galaxy 2s and Sensation 4g!
**Is it possible that the rooted ROMS are that much better than the stock roms on the newer phones?
a post above also states the Amaze is probably the better choice than the Sensation anyway? True???
Ive got 9 days left!!!!!!! Am I crazy? or, once I remove all the clutter by rooting the new phones, they will crush all others???
I did not try any Samsung smartphone, but from my experience with HTC, I would say "If it is not broken don't change it", for me Sensation rocks.
I think that HTC is better)
for me i would get the htc sensation and not the samsung, i like sense more than touchwiz
GSII runs smoother stock than Sensation. Better screen, and much thinner and slicker
S2 for a smoother more efficient experience .
$1 gets you a reply
Easy answer. Wife keeps the gs2, I keep sensation 4g. We can switch in 6 months!

I've tested both, and I liked Sensation better. It may sound weird, but it was mostly because the S II seemed too light! It was very thin and light and because it was rectangular in shape, I found it difficult to hold in my hand (and I don't have small hands, I'm 6'3").

Totally agree, I've found that I just can't hold the SII in my hand in a confortable way because of his size and shappe. Sensation feels way better in my hand, and also is great phone.
Samsung has better screens but lower resolution. Id still go for samsung though cuz the screen does look awesome
Lets see. Sensation has a crappy speaker, slower than sgs2 (still the fastest in the market today), a volume rocker with shoddy build, no internal sd memory unlike the sgs2 which comes with 16gb or 32gb, crappier cameras and sense ui which runs slower and I have to unlock the bootloader to do stuff. Also sgs2 is unbrickable due to odin.
Hmmm what would I pick. Only htc and sense fans would pick the Sensation over the sgs2.

I have to agree in all of that, 'cause I switched from a SGS4G to the Sensation 4G and man, I miss AMOLED screens jaja.. But Sensation does pretty well too. I'm ok with it.
Sensation :-D
I chose Sensation, because compared to Samsung its' quality is superior. I mean, plastic may be cool for teenagers, but I prefer something more elegant. Well sure, SII is a little better tech-wise, but if I'd need a mobile game console, I'd buy PSP
small hands
I would have to say the SII - love mine - and nearly everyone puts a cover on their phone and by the time you do that the SII is the perfect size for bigger hands im 6,4 and find no problem with it - plus it looks dynamite
Hardware wise the Galaxy will be superior. But only in hardware. For reliability and software, the Sensation will be superior.

Samsung Galaxy R Vs HTC Desire S

These appear to be the value phones of today. Basically I'm wondering which one I should buy. I live in the U.K., so prices are more or less the same.
http://vschart.com/compare/samsung-galaxy-r/vs/htc-desire-s
Nice comparison chart for you there, personally I love the galaxy
Dude, what a question ? There's nothing to compare. IMO it's not the same class of smartphones. The only hardware-related advantage of Desire S is aluminum unibody which feels much more solid than our shell but otherwise Galaxy R is better pretty much in everything. U'll buy
Desire S now and after 6 months u'll start to think about something faster.
If the price difference is not that huge...I wouldn't hesitate. I came here from Incredible S which has almost the same specs like Desire S (the same processor, ram....) and difference even in regard to sound quality (during phone calls) is huge. I think that nowadays htc handsets are not that solid like before. My old HTC Legend was a great phone, my newer Incredible S was a plastic crap you could hardly call with.
But do you think Galaxy R will get a stock version of Ice Cream Sandwich like what is being developed for HTC Desire S?
Kazuha Vinland. I don't think, I know Samsung announced this officially two weeks ago. While HTC hasn't confirmed it for any of its single core devices yet
Yeah, I know it'll get ICS, but can you like uninstall that skin they use?

Exactly, I should have mentioned that
Oh well, I guess it's not as horrid as Sense anyway. Thanks guys, I'll opt for the Galaxy R then.
I had a desire before galaxy R. The Htc sense is amazing but the hardware it's faster on the galaxy R. The screen on galaxy is bigger. The only thing the htc is better than the galaxy is on the htc sense. I think your choice should be the galaxy R.

If by "skin" you mean Touchwiz, there are many options.
It can be replaced with "GO Launcher EX", the most popular option.
But Samsung Touchwiz has hardware acceleration, it was built for our device.
The others may be slower for this reason.

[Q] Which phone should I buy for $550 max budget

I want to buy an Android phone and my max budget is $550(30,000 INR). In this range I have considered the Sony Xperia S to be the best followed by Htc One S.
Am I correct, or is there any other phone I should buy?
Thanks.
Galaxy Note.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
The HTC Rezound is a very solid phone if your on Verizon.
Defo Galaxy Note
I would say you should get the Galaxy Note. The screen is jaw dropping. I would wait until the major bug with the ICS update has been resolved tho.
Yeah the Note is awesome. But the reason I don't want to buy it is because the screen is too big in my opinion. I don't want a phone bigger than 4.3" screen.
The big 5.3" screen is awesome I must say but it doesn't make it a cell phone, somewhere between a phone and a tablet. And I would find it really difficult to carry it around.
The Htc One S is also good. But specs wise the Xperia S gives much more than the One S. That's why I chose the Xperia S. Any other thoughts?
HTC Sensation XE, better than the SXS I believe.

The problem is that I live in India. And my budget is 30,000 INR(approx 550 USD) and the Htc One X is around 37,000 INR which is out of my budget. And the Galaxy Nexus didn't launch in India.
But what do you guys think about the SXS? Is there something bad about it cause no one is even mentioning to buy it. Is it worth the price?

The One S has Snapdragon S4 processor rather than the S3 of Xperia S. That's the main reason why the One S is faster I guess and the main reason I was opting for it before.
But later I heard the news that in India the One S is going to launch with an S3 processor with overclocked 1.7ghz!! (Source) But still its not an S4!
Really a shameful decision by Htc
The processor was the only place where it had outranked SXS, and now its not even that. That's why I am thinking of buying SXS rather.

My opinion was to get the Sensation instead.
The sensation has a bigger screen,but manageable. People will tell you the bravia display is brilliant but there's a price, that screen is a battery guzzler. And Sony don't give much battery.
The Sony has fixed memory.
HTC are built solid. You'll have that phone forever.
Battery pull. I do it all the time when I mess up. You can't do that on a SXS.

Are you talking about just the Sensation or the Sensation XE/XL? And don't you think these devices are old now? I mean in some time they will become completely out dated.
And for the SXS besides the battery life and the yellow tint problem(which sony replaces for free) are there any other serious issues?
I would pre order the Samsung Galaxy III
I'd get galaxy note , International unlocked version as onsale on ebay for 459 USD over aweek ago. I would wait and catch the SALES.

I was talking about the XE. It is a well clocked dual core phone,and was built as a flagship device. The XL has only cosmetic updates but if they matter to you, you can consider it.
These phones they'd like to make you think they're outdated, but they're not. HTC gave the XE ics,and $150 earbuds. I'm not an audiophile so I don't care if there's better buds in that price range coz again, they came free. Big discount. It has Sense 3.6 which is Stable(4.0 was something new and has issues) so only the one update when you open the box and your phone will be perfectly userble. Sony take forever to update,and sometimes not at all.(PLAY anyone?) And their phones don't stay flagship too long(arc-arc s-xperia s gap) and the original arc was abandoned to 2011 waiting list. Sense > Timescape.
I like using my phone abit before resorting to xda.So if I we're to suggest phones
1. Galaxy S2
2.HTC sensation XE
3.Galaxy Note
4.Sony Xperia S
5.Droid RAZR MAXX.
