Gs2 vs sensation vs 2x

http://mobilarena.hu/teszt/ketmagosok_egymas_ellen/bevezeto.html
In the sites vids you'll notice a consistant.
The gs2 wins over.
Other than that the 2x clearly the better phone.

I'm sorry but does that make any sense at all? You said the GS2 wins and then you state the 2X is better.
And in reality, the SGS II is obviously a more polished product than the 2X.

Yeah. I realized were on the brink of a whole other level of phones.
The gs3 will be worth the upgrade.
I'm definitely keeping the g2x over the sensation.
But I would have loved the gs2.
I don't see how anyone could rate the sensation over the g2x

But the 2x best the sensation.
And its only 2.2 imagine when its 2.3

Sensation with locked booloader - dead on arrival.
The G2X is actually running better on 2.2.2 with OC kernels than 2.3. Would have loved to seen 2.4 on one of these.

Not to stray too far, but didn't HTC announce all their boot loaders will be unlocked.

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Yes the Thunderbolt is sturdy...until the kickstand peels.
The Evo 4G is sturdy...if you got the right screen.
Point is...HTC suffers from launch bugs and jitters like any other manufacturer.

From Vision to Sensation: First thoughts.

Hey fellas. This is for people who are thinking about getting a sensation. If you don't care about this phone.. DON'T READ. Thanks.
Well I just got my sensation about an hour ago from walmart. I'm really digging this phone. The screen is huge, the colors are fantastic and its lighter. TOO light for my liking honestly. Feels like I'm holding a vibrant. I hate the fact its so light. It feels fake to me kinda. I love the way the g2 feels. Its not light, but its not chunky and heavy.
The build quality is pretty good. It feels FANTASTIC in the hand but I still don't like the lightassedness this phone has. I still prefer the battery door latch that our vision has but its not hard at all to get the back off.
Speed: not even going to lie. Its fast. Pretty damn fast. But compared to our vision is what you guys want to know. And having them side by side having the sensation obviously stock and my vision obviously not (oc'd to 1.2 gigs) I don't honestly see a difference.. at all. Probably after root gets here and a little oc hits this then we will see.
If anyone wants to know anything ie want me to run tests against it etc just let me know. Just for reassurance : THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DEBATING ABOUT GETTING THIS PHONE AND WANTED TO KNOW SOMEONES OPINION. I love reading people's opinions on phones and I always come here to read people opinions on their experience with the phone I want. Just wanted to give back my opinion. Maybe it might help someone, maybe it won't.

How much better is the screen compared to the vision? Does it feel a lil downgraded? Or is it Better In every aspect?

To me honestly I LOVE this screen. very nice and responsive (unlike my vision sometimes sadly) and the colors are better. i am a little biased sure (ive been waiting for a 4.3 inch screen for a while) but the big factor for me at least is that the pyramid is visible outside. i think its a really big step up.

How are data speeds? I know it's a 14.4 device, but a newer radio may be better optimized - also -how is the reception? Battery?
Have you had a chance to use HTC watch yet?
I have a G2 currently and love it, I really like the look of the Sensation though..

4G is insanely slow right now honestly. i think its because the device isnt even released by tmobile yet so im not making it a biggie right now. when its working though, its extremely quick, especially on wifi. and there is virtually no lag whatsoever anywhere especially when using the device. and it gets faster over time. havent used htc watch though yet im sorry. cant make any calls on the battery life. this is still my first run through of the battery.

Will keep a watch on this thread, I don't really have many questions just wanted to thank you for the review

Looks like it has the Sense keyboard to me. The gingerbread keyboard is black right?
I am also coming from a G2. I love this phone in every aspect. However, I do find myself switching back to the G2 every now and then simply because it has root and a trackpad for scrolling long articles. Thats probably the only thing I miss. A trackpad, never realized how much easier it made things. Would you all happen to know of an app that givesu a thumb scroll in every app like the music app has? I have no idea why htc, or google (whoever's fault it is) chose not to integrate this feature all around.

Well,not here to ask questions as I already bought the Galaxy S II(was between that and the Sensation),but I can tell you some things for sure.
Sometimes,you're gonna miss that extra RAM that HTC for some reason didn't give this phone.768mb on the Sensation with Sense 3 is as pure stupid as the good camera with no flash on the Galaxy S.Second is that,although the Adreno 220 is REALLY good and is bound to get even better with root and,obviously,overclocking,it isn't really the beast that'll handle the qHD screen with ease,especially when scrolling through screens.
For the rest,I still think that it's a hell of a good phone,just not quite the upgrade from my Desire HD.Not comparing or fanboyin' or anything(ALL my smartphones until now were HTC after all),but just HTC could have made it better.I kinda like the Evo 3D though...

I haven't seen any lag on the sensation at all.are you referring to the sense launcher when you say scrolling through screens? Cuz with that, there is no lag either. I knew there was less ram when I bought it and I thought I might end up regretting it but I honestly haven't seen any reason to and this is just stock. I can only imagine afterwards. I don't think I will overclock like I did my g2. 1, for the sake of the battery, and I don't see how the speed could really improve much

Well,take my word with a pinch of salt as I don't have a Sensation.But on my Desire HD with Sense 3 rom(768mb of RAM too),RAM is always less than 200mb free.No lagging there too,but after some use and some 100 apps installed,I think it would show.

i currently have a vision
but im dying either for the sensation or the evo 3d, do any of you hapen to know if theres gonna be a 850mhz version of one of these 2 beauties?

. Just because 100 apps are installed, doesn't necessarily mean they are all eating ram. I do however understand what you are saying. I guess only time will show as I've only had it for two and a half weeks now. I think that extra core will kick in then. From my knowledge, the sg2 has a processor where both cores are on at all times where as the sensation's cores can run independently of each other. I think that will lead to better battery optimization. Maybe the lag, if any one experiences any, is when that second core is kicking in. I haven't had this happen to me, but to comment on the topic in case anyone is switching, my advice would be to absolutely grab that sensation. But keep your g2 if you can cause it was indeed a great successor to the first ever android.

[Q] Which 1 to buy ? SGS2 or Sensation

Hey guy im confused between two phones Sgs2 n Sensation
Sgs has some problems like Yellow tint , pink spot and some other issues plz can u guys help me in selecting the phone ? does sensation also have these kind of problems ??

Ummm ur asking in the sensation forum..... so opinions will be heavily biased . Optimus 2x user here. But I think galaxy s 2 is a better option. Sure the build quality isn't amazing, but the hardware will blow ur mind. Also, dev support is much better than what the first galaxy had, as cyanogenmod and aosp is making its way to it really fast whilst sensation is still bootloader locked. But I really like the build quality of HTC. I wish Samsung improved the shell of the galaxy series

SGSII hands down.
As for the built quality, I think a lot of people forget that there is a reason behind why a phone is built with light materials....to keep the phone light as possible. The rear cover on the SGSII may look thin and cheap, but you know that it can flex from end-to-end without breaking right? There is a reason...
I've dropped my SGS4G so many times and it endured...it's far from cheap.
The bigger and heavier it is the harder it'll fall...

After receiving my third Sensation yesterday and it having major issues, I would definitely say that for now the SGSII would be my choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The Sensation has the potential to be the best phone out there but at the moment the one's I have received have numerous issues.

I have em both, and must say.... The battery life is much better on sgsII. The camera(with or without high quality fix) is way better, no lag (except wake up 1sec) on sgsII, easy root sgsII. Build quality is almost same, if you think about the weight. And most of all screen on the sgsII is way better in all aspects. And in direct sunlight it rocks in comperment to sensation, witch is almost impossible to see.
For the sensation, the sense 3.0 is GREEEEEAAAAT... Lockscreen sweet, dlna is better. Its better in hand. Software is better overall.

Same thing I was wondering. The SGS II comes out in Canada next Thursday and I'm still going to be within my 14 Day return period. Its been like 3 days and I already got that annoying "dust under the screen" issue. The phone is great, camera takes crisp pics and all and Sense 3.0 is beautiful no doubt, but there are things that I'm starting to question.

Go for SGS2 though I am using Sensation.

Should I trade?????;

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

I hardly get the random reboots ever. And currently there are a lot of updates.
And in terms of specs im sure the galaxy s2 is better as it has more ram, alot more storage and the exynos chipset is also faster. It also has super amoled plus.. or are you after the tegra version?? :l I suggest i9100

The only thing u would use the LG G2x for is a shim for my wobbly patio table.
Sensation 100% man. Maybe the only thing u wanna do is flash a ROM without sense 3.0 and Ur good

i just came from the g2x and i wouldnt go back too many problems you have to mod that phone heavily to make everything work, the only problem i have now with my sensation i got today is the video camera? does any mode record in 30fps cause its not working on mine

Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.
Keep your sensation

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.

I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?

It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

[Q] hello guys, possible new G2X user. this or Nexus S?

hello sirs/madams, i am a current O1 user, and im looking at this beast, or the nexus S. i was on our sister subfourm (2X) and noticed i posted in the wrong one :/. does this phone have the exact same issues with BSOD, and black lockscreens?

some people have it not all... either way how much in a rush of getting this phone are you? Basically would you be willing to wait a couple months for the Galaxy Nexus.

No big rush, just don't want to pay out the ass for it.

The wind version of the same as the T-Mobile one but doesn't have any of the issues. Except very minor screen bleed. You probably remember me from the u8100. I would recommend this phone to you unless you want to wait for the galaxy nexus.

I'm no pro compared to Faux123 and morfic and cm_arcee over here. They have God-like skills compared to me.

I just picked up a g2x in near mint condition (one nick near the charging port) for $200.
Coming from a galaxy s 4g the only thing I miss is the super amoled screen.
Every nexus s I ever messed with failed to impress me, they all seemed slow and laggy, so I would say you made a good choice.

Nexus S.
ICS can be easily ported to the NS. With the G2x you have the risk of an ICS not working properly because NVIDIA doesn't release drivers.

I've never used the Nexus but I'll give you my thoughts on the G2X.
I'm a wind customer, and I only twice in about 2.5months now had the phone randomly shut down on me.
However, the stock Android kind of sucked. It's great at the beginning but as you install some more apps and start using it more and more it would start to lag and lag. Turning on WiFi would always give a slow down for some reason. Using youtube was a pain, videos would always be choppy.
2 days ago I decided I couldn't take it anymore so I installed Cyanmogen and the phone has been fantastic. No slowdowns even when doing more demanding stuff.
It's great!

im not to worried about ICS, just that this phone is really fast. atm, my 2 deal breakers between the 2 is:
-nfc (nexus s
-amoled(nexus s)
-hdmi(G2x)
-dual core(G2x)
i just want fast, and snappy. is the tegra 2 worth it? or is the nexus s nothing compared to the G2x?

I've seen the 2 screens side by side and the p999 is brighter on full than the nexus. The darks are slightly darker on the nexus but the whites are better on the p999. NFC isn't that big of a deal right now and I don't think many people or companies would use it in Canada for some time. The p999 is snappy ask the time, unless you are doing some really intense stuff. Battery lasts quite a bit for the usage compared to the u8100. I can't keep myself from using my phone. It is a joy to use.

Only time phone lag is when phone installs apps from the market( not when downloading) And only happened on stock roms sometimes.
Also don't forget to let us know your final decision.

Nice if you need anything pm me.

My g2x flies even with 650+ apps installed using link2sd. Im on phoenixblood rom with fauxs latest .0.4.8 ds kernel. Even tho that rom has been updated i dont see a need to flash the newer version because its been such a smooth great performing experience, especially with the stress i put my phone thru i dont see any lag. Glad to hear your loving your g2x see you around the forums.

NVidia is not very big on supporting their Tegra 2 platform and LG is terrible at supporting their phones. Screen bleeding issues seem common, I have a bleeding screen. I get the black screen of death occasionally. The black screen of death seems to be an issue with the OS and not the hardware.
If you don't mind third party support and likely a little screen bleed, this phone is worth every penny. Keep in mind that not every phone has screen bleed and that LG never said that the G2x will get an official ICS release, they just said that the Optimus 2X will. Many people think that includes G2x, but there really is no telling if that is true.
That said, once the Optimus 2X gets ICS (Q2 of 2012), a third party port for the G2x will probably come along whether LG releases ICS for the G2x or not.
