Although the SGS2 is a fantastic device, it's not all that much better than the Sensation. The only real selling points it has over the Sensation is the SAMOLED+ display tech, the onboard storage, and the Exynos CPU. It's also thinner and lighter. The Sensation though, has a higher density screen so even though it's LCD, it's nicer to look at (IMO). The size/weight issue is a personal thing - I had the original SGS and thought it felt too cheap and light to be such expensive device. To me, the extra heft of the Sensation makes it feel a nicer device, but whatever.
If you were upgrading from an older device, it'd be a tough choice as it is. If I were you though, I'd stay with the Sensation because you just won't notice $530 (or even $250) worth of difference
EDIT: as a side note, I did upgrade to the Sensation from a similar device - the LG Optimus 2X. I had multiple issues with that device though, and the Sensation feels like a dream in comparison.
I've just had the SGS2 and got rid of it for the Sensation. I don't regret it. What I will say is this : whichever one you have you will want the other!! But I can tell you that the Sensation is worth keeping. Find a rom that you like and personalise & tweak it. Personally, I'm using xl DI GIT AL lx "digitalized" ics themed rom. Very quick.
The phone is more of a premium handset in other's eyes as well.

This person is right.
Why anyone would get a device that's about to get outdated really, really soon makes no sense to me.
Id stick with the Sensation as well. Once it has ICS, it will be on the same level as the Prime anyways. Not as good, but on the same level.

I was waiting for the SGS2 to come out as well but now that it is out I actually don't think it is any better than the Sensation. I went to tmobile store to try it out and found that my Sensation feels better because of Sense. The SGS2 was not thinner than the Sensation imo. it feels bulkier in my pocket. I'm glad i went with the sensation instead of waiting forever for the SGS2
I'd stick with the Sensation and just load ICS when it get's released.
why bother with the SGSII at this point? especially considering Tmous version uses the same Snapdragon processor?
if you really feel the need to upgrade just wait out a few more months for the newer phones in the pipeline... at the very least until Nov. for the Nexus.

I would definitely go with the SGSII... Well I did, it's the better phone hands down. Longer battery life, not laggy like sensation as far as stock goes, it's been out two weeks and it's already rooted ( like a week ago) it already has a couple of ROMs and the super AMOLED plus display is stunning. Personally I like having a light device, it may be plastic but I'm sure it has better chances of surviving a drop than the sensation. Now on the other hand the sensation has a great resolution, very sharp and lots of ROMs and devs behind it so if you're into ROMs and customizing and all that than it should be good too. But comparing both phone stock, no contest, the SGSII is the better phone.
people should stop comparing SGS2 stock with Sensation stock!
Sense ROMs will always be slower then stock Android.
Main point of HTC phones are Sense. If you dislike Sense then SGS2 is the way to go.
I would also stich with sensation
Go to a shop and take a SGS2 and turn it on. Take your sensation and turn it on. Place the two displays in front of you.
At this point you will just have noticed the low res of the sgs2 and the blueish display of the samsung, and you will turn it off and return to the shelf.
Problem solved.
Hey Guys
Thinking of coming from my old Galaxy S to a HTC Sensation. But there seems no forums for this device ! Can I use the ROMS here on the XE or not? I know it may be biased but there pretty much the same and I prefer the look of the XE plus those Earphones and sound! Is it worth the money to go for the XE model? and where can I find a forum to flash and root ect
Thanks
Kind Regards

Hi,
The two phones are essentially the same in the hardware department.
You can get all the information in this forum.
You can flash the same ROMS . S-off and root is done the same way HERE.
Whether or not you should spend the extra on the XE,only you can decide to fall for HTC's outrageous marketing scam.
You get a larger battery and a excellent pair of headphones. Keep that in mind

the XE is overpriced and by the looks of things the normal
sensation can be overclocked and preform the same if better!
I got the xe and tbh no different now the the guru's can produce great Roms you.end up replacing the stock XE Rom anyway, and most people have the sensation on here.

If you use your own headphones or have a separate music player and you are willing to buy the larger capacity battery (or anker) then yes go with the original sensation.

I like the sleek black look of the original Sensation more, but like the XE's official beats implementation + headphones.

IMHO the difference between the Sensation and Sensation XE is just the urBeats earbuds, ROM, battery and the battery cover - all swappable!
Where I am, the XE is now coming right down in price, to the level where it might be cheaper to buy the XE and sell off the urBeats earbuds, if money's really tight.
Otherwise, the regular Sensation is probably easier and cheaper to buy upfront and you can get the white Sensation XE with Beats battery cover if you like it, plus higher capacity battery etc when required.
These forums are great since we can get feedback on batteries, vendors etc and usually find the good upgrades.
I have the Sensation, white XE with Beats battery cover and am hoping to get it onto a reliable beta ICS ROM (once usable, HW accelerated and not crashy).
Let us know what you get!
I have a Sensation z710e - perfect condition/original box, flashed with ARHD rom to become an XE. Must admit the integrated music player is a bonus of the XE rom.
PM a price if your keen.

Agreed, the phones sound quality is pretty hot, and who can turn down a higher capacity battery with the voltage it's going to crank out...

I have 500$ budget for a new phone and i had my eyes on the Sensation for some time now, I see it online for the range of 430$-420$ + 30$ for shipping to Cairo
So its close to the max of my budget considering i will pay tax for it in here, So my question is should i get the Sensation? Does it still worth it? and will it get any future updates? and it seems to be a bit slow on the CPU/GPU side is that true? and IF i should get it what is the right price and from where? If there's a good place selling the International version in Canada for good price i can get my family to get it for me from there, So what do you guys think?
BTW the Gnex is off limits due to its pentile screen and 5Mp camera

Hey bro, glad you've decided to get a HTC sensation. One question though, why not get an XE? its newer, bettery battery, plus it comes with awesome ibeats earbuds :-D I mean, in terms of whether or not it will get sense 4, probably not officially but developers here will soon get leaks from HTC to develop sense 4 on root devices. So i would say, yeah if its in your budget, if you're not willing to pay for the HTC one X or the One S, go for the sensation. If rooted, its capability is practically unmatched And yes i say this after owning an SGSII

I have both, overall Htc is beter to me, but YMMV...
I suggest the s2. Although the screen resolution will feel terrible its more powerful than the senny and it will for sure get jelly bean, while the sensation is most likely not getting an official jelly bean update.

The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, but the Galaxy S2 has the exynos processor which makes it seem faster.
It's all down to personal preference.
I like the sensations hardware and hate its software (sense 3.6) But i like the galaxys software & amoled screen and hate its hardware (plastic), if that makes sense...
I had both.
sensation>s2>sensation.
Both are good.
If you want better performance - s2
better screen - sensation
SGS2.
HTC has sh*tty update policy, so the sensation won't get JB update. Former flagship phone won't get update, that is insane.
I'll never buy HTC phone anymore in my life. And even after that.
sgs2 for sure super amoled screen is awesome makes up for low resolution i have both and camre is also very good in s2 :victory:

I test both, the GSII is slow and laggy with 100 apps, my sensation xe with 150 apps isn't laggy and is Awesome Fast. i think that is better the SENSATION.
My gf has sg2, it's definitely faster and has better battery life than the sensation. However, build quality wise, it's sensation all the way. SG2 has a much more thriving development scene too and, because it sold an order of magnitude more units than the seny, it will be supported by devs for far longer. Personally, I don't find the difference in performance big enough to make me regret my phone choice, and I'll move onto a new phone before lack of Dev support will become an issue. I value good design over slight performance boost. Plus, to be honest, I don't like Samsung's copy paste approach to touchwiz. At least HTC didn't blatantly try to rip off another company, that's got to be worth something, an HTC phone looks like an HTC phone - not a wanna be iPod.

Totally agree.
My wife has sg 2 and I have a senny. Hers is slicker that's for sure but build quality on my senny is far superior.
The thing I really hate about the sgs 2 is that horrible home screen button.
I have orderd the N4 now and will be sorry to loose the senny but I think that dev of the senny is just about peaking.
With stock stuff SGS2 is better imho, as Sensation has ****load of bloatware ... like Sense and whatnot, also SGS2 gets official Jelly Bean, whereas Sensation gets ****. With rooted stuff, still SGS2 is better since basically all of them Jelly Bean ROMs for Sensation got something "buggy, not-working as intended, not working at all or overall unstable, combitanion of all these factors at once in the worst case". So my subjective opinion is deffo SGS2.

ace 2 vs sensation xe
Hello;
I want to buy my first smartphone, but I am torn between samsung ace 2 and htc sensation xe. The sensation xe is 50$ more from ace 2, but that is not a problem( that is the top of my budget), as sensation xe has 4.3" screen vs 3.8" for ace 2, sensation xe is faster and better looking.
My main problems with sensation xe are dust under screen and death grip. I mean I don't want to bring a brand new phone, and before using it,
I have to put silicon around the edges of the screen to seal it, then I might put aluminum foil on the back antennas to stop death grip.
What is your advice to me, keeping in mind that whichever phone I get, I am going to keep it for like 5 years.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I would highly sugest the Htc Senstion XE over Samsung G Ace 2 because of following reasons -
1)Processor - 1.5 Ghz Dual Core on htc xe while ace 2 is stuck at 800 mhz dual core.
2)Camera - On Ace 2 is not worth mentioning and it sucks while here also Htc S Xe does a great job
3)Design - Xe look significantly better than ace 2.
4)Screen - Screen is larger and of better quality.
Even after the cons you mentioned Htc Sensation XE is my choice.
