One of my friend using Galaxy S2,his phone can run fruit ninja HD quite smoothly,but on my sensation it runs choppy,we also done lot of benchmark,the score on S2 just way higher than sensation,now im wondering is our phone really that powerful,its performance just only like single core with areno 205 phone,let discuss here
That s ii is more powerful in terms of CPU and gpu
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Dont under estimate your sensation than his galaxy S2 because Touchwiz UI is a light and crappy UI while sensation has a rich Nd heavy UI which makes the benchmarks down...
I agree S2 has a Better GpU, but sensation is also not so far behind...
Checkout cyanogen mod-i use hypersensation and faux kernel...it will surely help for benchmarks as well as gamez, but if you want perfect battery life too, you should under clock...
Hope this helps

Use bricked kernel to make fruit ninja and other games work like they should.
I also want to recommend you flash Gingerbread Sense 3.5 (2.08.401.1) that has much better adreno driver than sense 3.0 and also don't have that fps limitation which make games like fruit ninja choppy and laggy.
Exynos is more powerful, yes. But there's no reason why your phone can't handle Fruit Ninja. I play it all the time with no issues.
Sensation would have given a performance close to GS2 if it was not qHD... Gs2 is not qHD..
Everything runs in high resolution on this phone... That's why Sensation has 25% less performance... But overall Sensation has sharper display compared to GS2...
Gs2 icons looked very soft compared to Sensation
Add to that, Sense UI is more CPU consuming...

Try rebooting the device and launching the game again.
Our even better, if you can, install a custom rom and you'll see how smooth it becomes.
If it runs smooth on mine it has to fly on the Sensation. Great phone! Very sexy too! Way more than SGS II on my opinion.

Holiday Comparison
Over the holidays a buddy of mine brought his new rooted GS2 over. We swapped phones to check them out. The GS2 was wicked fast and smooth scrolling and entering various apps. Entering apps like picture galleries was almost instant, which was cool. Connecting to the internet was faster on my Sensation and Sense 3.5 makes Touch Wiz look childish. The build quality of the SG2 was CRAP!!! The phone felt really cheap. And as for looks, no contest. Even iPhones look better. I was considering getting The Galaxy Note(mainly for the screen size), but not anymore. .

Why? Ever tried to play a game on your PC with high resolution?
The FPS drops intensely... This is what's happening with sensation... I suppose if we run fruit ninja with 800x480, it will be as smooth as with GS2

it does.benchmarking depends on resolution directly
try over clocking and try the benchmarks again i love the look and feel of my sensation over anything else
GS2 is more powerful, plain and simple. The Exynos processor is way better than ours, A9 architecture vs. custom A8, and it's synchronous vs asynchronous. The GPUs are both very good. The GS2 CPU is what gives it the advantage.
People are overblowing the resolution difference. Yes, it makes a bit of a difference, but not as much as raw horsepower. The Galaxy Nexus has a way higher resolution than the GS2 but it manages to perform about as well (and also better than the Sensation).

you must have a look at benchmark scores of galaxy nexus... Watch some videos... It's almost the same as sensation and that too because it's HD display...:-/
Yeah, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't do as well on the Sensation on benchmarks. The PowerVR SGX540 is outdated and they underclocked it too I believe. Just compare the NenaMark 2 scores and you'll see the difference.

Gs4g is alright but you will run out of app storage if you like alot of apps, only has 344 MB free out of the box. That's like 700 MB less then sensation. And the gs4g screen does have a good screen but sensation is way better. The difference is darker colors are richer on gs4g, gs4g not dial core, gs4g is laggy even rooted with a custom rom, big step down from sensation I have to say. Personally I wouldn't trade. Sensation is a better phone and get a 8,16, or 32 gb SD card and throw ur music on it and that takes place of itouch. But its up to you.

The galaxy has an amoled display that is pretty much far superior to the one we have. The sensation just has a higher resolution. Although the amoled has a weird bluish tint to it. As far as software goes, the galaxy s ain't nothing unless you root it and throw ... Cm7 for example, on it. The graphics rendering is faster on galaxy as well. Sesation has better battery life and build quality.
As far as processor goes, people just got to stop buying into the while 1.5 ghz or 1.8ghz bs. Our sensation wouldn't be $h*t without faux's kernel. Plus, our phones being dual core and all don't mean much as well until android is written to fully take advantage of two cores. Hopefully android ice cream sandwich will do the trick.
Samsung has the worse software support on the planet, I came from an epic 4G, I know trust me. The sensation is better because of the awesome software our devs put out. Still a long way to go, but it gets better every day. I just can't wait for cm7 on this bad boy

The Ville is the 4.3" ICS phone right? That sounds so much nicer size-wise than the massive Galaxy Nexus. Should come out more compact than the Amaze or Sensation due to the removal of buttons.
However the render appears to have a screen aspect ratio of 1.64 or so, which is closer to the 5x3 of an 800x480 display than the 16x9 (1.777) of a qHD display. So the render is misshapen.

Yes the ville is the 4.3" screen one. Same screen as the RAZR i believe. Its gonna be nice because the 28nm processor allows for it to be really thin. So it shouldn't be much heavier than the MT4G.

it will come with 1.5GH snapdragon s4 processor and here's the full specification of it.

The handset will apparently measure in at only 8mm thick,will launch with Android 4.0, and will also launch HTC’s Sense 4.0 overlay.

If you are waiting for the greatest smartphone you will be waiting forever, there is always going to be a rumor about a supposed OMG smartphone RIGHT before you was about to purchase the smartphone you thought was awesome. In my opinion, to have a really satisfying smartphone experience there needs to be great utilization of software and hardware. Software is something that has always been a bit of a hindered on devices with custom skins (most of the Android ecosystem). The only ways to really circumvent this is to either buy a Nexus devices or root your device in HOPES of finding a solid ROM to flash. I think this makes the decision quite easy, buy the Galaxy Nexus.
If I'm correct in saying, HTC Sensation XE, the most powerful smartphone in the United Kingdom? However I keep having a blip when watching things on the internet and read certain reviews. I'm almost every single benchmarking test, the GSII gives the Sensation a run for its money.
Now I own a Sensation XE, and I'm a proud owner. However when using my friends GSII I must admit that the fluidity of the system seems much better than on the Sensation. I get the feeling that maybe HTC Sense 3.0 was built to a level that actually surpasses the ability of the Sensation's hardware. If you very very slowly switch from a home screen on a stock Sense Rom you will notice that the animation isn't actually that smooth.
Now it's all good saying 'go and install a custom ROM if you have performance complaints' and all that, but that isn't the point. I don't have a performance issue at all, I just want to know why a device with supposedly equal and less power than my phone, actually bets it in most places. If the GSII can do it on a stock ROM, why can't my Sensation do it?
I've been told that despite the GSII having 1GB of RAM and the Sensation only having 768MB that this should not make a difference.
In quadrant tests, the GSII gets around 6000-7000, the Sensation gets 2500 where as the Sensation XE gets anywhere from 2500-3000. There must be a reason for these numbers?
SENSATION IS BETTER THAN GSII THOUGH!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
the SGS2 is faster, thats the end of it, HTC SENSE kills the phone. By the way quadrant scores mean nothing, antutu and cf are the ones you should be using.
I've also HEARD the the sgs2's teltra processors are just better and that it is always using both processors wheras the Sensation (xe) doesnt always.
It's all HTC SENSE'S fault, if you look at touchwiz, youd easily be able to see why it runs so much quicker.
Benchmarks is lying. The sensation have twice as many pixels, a.k.a they require more power it run.

The Sensation has 35% more Pixels actually.
The GPU in the SG2 is probably better, its not limited by single channel LPDDR2 like ours. But CPU wise they are very similar considering the architectural differences between the scorpion core and the custom A9 in the Exynos. I still like to think ours is the best

Both handsets are really fast, it all boils down to personal choice really.. I played around with an SGS2 for a week and I just hate the way touchwiz or Stock Android roms display the information to me i.e dialer, widgets etc...
HTC sense on the other hand has a lot of eye candy and like I said (its personal choice) it just looks really sexy!!
No Sense = nonsense
If you like the Stock Android feel then SGS2 is the way to go .
If you like sense and want to have a stock Android rom on the sensation from time to time then Sensation it is...
Oh and the sensation running at 1.5ghz is da bomb!

I tested both devices.
The thing that eventually decided which phone I went with was just how it felt in my hand.
The second I touched the SGSII it felt cheap and plasticy. That I had to be really careful not to break it. And it was not very durable at all.
Just felt like really really cheap material and also looked that way.
The sensation on the other hand feels a lot better - a lot more solid. It has some weight to it. The quality of the materials used just seems a lot nicer.

Whats faster ASOP GSII or ASOP Sensation? this way its fair to judge
At the moment, it would be SGSII I'm guessing, but that isn't a fair way to judge. TouchWiz ROM's are very close to AOSP anyway, Sense is completely modified. Most AOSP ROM's will still have bits of Sense left in because they simply cannot be removed.

Its inflation. Quadrant is notorious for this. R/RW speed between the current devicesis pretty much the same, especially when they are all on custom ext4 partitions .. Hence why you can run 4 benchmarks and get 4 different scores .. notice the CPU and graphics numbers don't really flux to much...

you all realize that quadrant is only good for comparing devices with the same screen resolution, right?
The Gnex is running at a much higher resolution and becuase of that the scores will be lower in Quadrant.
Quadrant runs at the phones native resolution so the gnex has to work harder... I cant believe people still use this as their proof....

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 can't bear Amoled screens. You have to like blue screens to like Amoled ^^
Sgs2

i had the S2 then sold it and got the sensation used it for a while and i realized that i liked the S2 better so now I'm stuck with the S2 and i love it specially with the Jelly bean CM10.1 is just wicked .
but honestly there isn't much difference between them they are both nice devices i think it depends of each user how they feel .
Im afraid its 100% the galaxy s2

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.
