Some say g2x, some say thunder-bolt, sensation. I was wondering what is the best android phone out right now?
G1... Vintage... Nice

Hard for me to admit this but I would have to say the Galaxy S II at the moment. After seeing multiple reviews and comparisons on YouTube, out of the box its the most polished smartphone on the market right now. Why? It has a Super Amoled Plus screen, higher quality HD recording (30 FPS), battery life is better due to SAP screen (less energy consumption), default 1.2Ghz Exynos processor. Once we recieve the "official" Gingerbread update for the G2X with corrected battery drivers, working bluetooth profiles, and no more reboots/freezing, the G2X will be on par or even ahead of the GSII. Especially with even more stable UV/OC kernels, I'm sure at 1.2Ghz our Tegra chip could beat Samsung's Exynos. Tegra has a better GPU

well
in usa if it worked as advertised nothing can touch the g2x.
world wide nothing can touch the galasxy x-2
i dont believe we can say the galaxy x-2 is the best hee in the states since we have no idea when or will it will land first. and if it is slow coming it wont be the top dog when it gets here. stuff coming in oct-dec will kick all thats planned through august as of now. of course those could get delayed until 2012.
anyways my answer is g2x in usa, galaxy x-2 world wide.
but as for acceptable purchases at this time
g2x,sensation(when the bootloader is actaully unlocked),
and well have to see release numbers on the evo3d that could be a contender definalty better than the sensation.
if you have a g2x and they do fix the probelms with the update you wont be disapointed until at least 4th quarter.
My Upgrade is coming up soon. I don't care much for data transfer, but I want a phone that's responsive. I play games, watch movies, listen to music, use the gps and enjoy smoothness when scrolling through the menu's. Which phone is good for me the Galaxy S II or the skyrocket? Please let me know your thoughts.
If lte data transfer is not a concern. The definatrly the sgs2 much better cpu and gpu. Better responsiveness. No question what so ever its not an oppinion its a fact. I have owned both im keeping the skyrocket because i like the bigger screen and lte but my sgs2 was significantly faster

Well, benchmarks in a variety of sites show that these two phones are very close in performance, so close indeed that the users are unlikely to notice much of a difference. There are two reasons to move to a Skyrocket: the larger screen and the NFC support (although not much is using it at this time).
Benchmarks Mean nothing .....its a number
I have the vivid,SGS II, and the skyrocket. GsII is best ,then the vivid then skyrocket.

Oh and the og gsII has NFC too
And if you watch movies on the sky rocket there are lines in the screen

Watching netflix and slingbox there are none of these lines people speak of. Couldn't be happier with skyrocket screen. It's just like people getting caught up in benchmark scores. They are convinced the screen just isn't good.
It's sad. And misleading to people who come here for advice.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Not talking about bench marks. Did not even run them on my skyrocket. the sgs2 is significantly faster hands on with apps and opening multiple t.abs when web browsing. Its all around faster ive owned and used both devices extensively. And if you dont care about lte the sgs2 is hands down a better device. I like my skyrocket i like the lte and biger screen and i will be keeping it even though it is not as snappy and has some lag
I have all three, if you wanna throw out I'm misleading go buy all three test all three for a day or two each then tell me the skyrocket is better.....
I stated my observation and its based off of fact not fan boy baloney
Boooooong

Gs2 for you no question.
Skyrocket: slower/laggy, screen issues/lines...all the things you here in this thread and others on this topic.
I hag the gs2 before switct to the skyrocket. Although I like the bigger screen and lte I miss the gs2
What are the feelings on the Nexus S with ICS versus other high performing devices like GS2, RAZR, Amaze, etc.? Has anyone gone "backwards"? Do you miss the dual core?

Friend of my got a SGS2, my Nexus S is running alot faster (with ICS) than his device..
So no way, I don't need a Dual Core device!
Sgs2 blows the nexus s out of the water.

SgsII also has aspect of **** ass touchwiz running on the constant, which hinders it a bit. Although I'm sure the dual cores and extra power over our lovely nexus make up for that.
Follow the leader @corythug
Lol touchwiz on a gs2 doesn't hinder it...at all. It smokes my Nexus s 4g. I love my nexus...but gs2 w Mali beatsmy phone to death
Same my cousin has a sgs2 and its must so fast

B4 i switched to ICS i was running Miui with the trinity 1544 kernel and my NS4G would score higher than my rooted oc'd 1.6 dual core GS2.. I would get consistent 5000+ on my NS4g and my GS2 gets around 4400's

I could care less about an io hack haha. Stock for stock my ns4g doesn't compare to a sprint gs2. Period.
I'm all too familiar w trinity. The 25 mflops. The buss speed increase. Hell i can input a command to trick quadrant into producing ridiculous numbers. I hope you don't think I am arguing w you when I say that the et4g Or gs2 on sprint is superior currently in terms of hardware and speed to almost every other android in production right now.
We purchased ours due to my wife releasing her epic 4g from an 8 foot drop to concrete. I don't care if it ever gets ics. On gb it easily surpasses my ns4g and her old epic w ease. I'm amazed it doesn't get more attention than the countless reviews pointing out all the sweet stuff it does. We have 0 Los issues and for me, until a better phone (in terms of hardware) comes out I am 100% content w it. I can't compare a modded nexus to the gs2 due to the fact that even my ns4g, at the time, running 4800 quadrants (which are meaningless due to massive io hack) still couldn't compete w its bigger more powerful counterpart. Its like comparing and Xbox to an Xbox 360
Bump... Anyone else ? What about things like camera quality, battery life, standard performance?

Not sure why would anyone want to go back.
I want to upgrade to an Galaxy Nexus, but I don't see myself coming back to the NS after that. Something better in the future, definitely. But no NS once I upgrade.
I know it's not really the same but when I had my ns with ics yea it was good but traded it for a focus flash and I feel like ics can't compare to Mingo.

I had a HTC Sensation till last week and now I use a Nexus S with ICS as daily driver.
The Sensation was really fast under CM7, but my Nexus S is smoother under ICS. I think that the ICS release for Sensation will be very fast, but I really hate Sense, and I wanted a stock ICS which is designed for my phone, not a custom ROM.
I really don't miss my Sensation !
The gs2 is so fast I can imagine what ics will do

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?

I had o2x.. I am more happy with sensa ton.. Maybe because of more ram.

I finally found it by my self.
nvidia tegra 2 is way faster than HTC sensation's processor in terms of benchmark result.
Moreover HTC sensation is the slowest dual core android mobile phone in terns of benchmark results .
But I have jumpshipped to it anyway.

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?

The benchmarks don't take into consideration dual cores and the fact that the Sensation is running Asynchronous cores.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
I think that Sensation shows bad benchmark results because of that crap heavy Sense ui. Qualcomm's s3 processor is quite powerful.

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

Before the blaze I was using a infused. What device did you come from? Do you feel like it was a upgrade?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Premium App
Before the Blaze (which is my first Android phone) I had owned a BlackBerry Bold 9700. So far I'm really liking this device, the only thing I really miss is having a high level of notification customization, a notification LED, sms and email integrated in a single messaging app, and whole device/sd card encryption.
I don't miss the lack of memory or good 3rd party apps, and the plastic screen. Battery life on the Blaze is not as good as my BlackBerry, but it's more than enough to get me through at least a days worth of work.
Before this I was using an LG G2x, which was a joke. Prior to that it was a Samsung Galaxy S 4g.
I feel like this was a significant upgrade from both, it's a solid device imo.

I am coming from the G2x as well. I think this phone is better, but I do miss CM7 and ICS lol. The screen on this phone is still a little wider, so I'm getting used to that.
I think this was a good upgrade, and that will be more evident after a few more months of development.

T-Mobile G2. It was an okay phone, but it was really starting to show its age.
I'd say it was a definite worthy upgrade (aren't they all?), most applications do open instantly, if not just 1/4 of a second, and I love Samsung's touchwiz UI, its simple and neat. I always hear that people don't like it, but I can never figure out why.

I had Sensation 4G briefly, horrid battery life and 768MB of ram isn't enough for ICS. Before that I had an iPhone 4.

Had CM7 2.3.7, and enough tweaks to get the quadrant to 1200 or so, it was 400 out of the box. 600 to 748mHz OC without a fuss was a HUGE plus, and it was good for a cheap phone, only my incessant messing around hard bricked it
For reference, i've soft bricked my blaze like 3 or 4 times (twice was trying to change lcd density)
Before that it was all flip/feature phone junk, one WM5 phone but it was terrible at everything.
I came from the first Mytouch 3g. Started w/ Cupcake, but went to Cyanogenmod right away. Cm and Ginger Yoshi kept that poor little phone usable for a really long time. I used it for over 2 1/2 years.
Now the low side of my SetCPU is set at about what was the max for that phone.
Got this phone 5 days ago. Came from At&t for better rates, but couldn't afford the Galaxy S 2 so got this phone instead.
Was running Task650 AOKP on my Galaxy S 2 and I loved it. Hopefully more development will come for this phone.
ATT Nexus One, I'd still be using it (even though ATT's network speeds literally went to hell about a year ago) even though my bill was more expensive even though I had a corporate partner discount but the touch screen stopped working.
I guess you could say the main two things I miss about my last phone would be the LED that was in the trackball, and the superior audio quality for music.
