[Q]Is the GSII faster?[Q] - HTC Sensation

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!

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

Thanks for all the replies. I love my Sensation anyway, and our aluminium uni-body design wee's all over their plastic grub

Rationalization galore here.

As others users, il think that sensation is also perfectly than sgs2. Each other have advantages and unadvantage.

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 agree with this!
Thanks for the replies.

TouchWiz looks Cheap and ugly compared to sense.

If you upgrade, you will lack build quallity. Size is too big. Bad camera. Lower resolution. In trade for speed

TouchWiz is cheap and ugly? Just like the SGSII, I think the Sensation XE looks beautiful when it's in crisp light with IRS red lights at the bottom off, the curved glass causes a beautiful reflection around the edge of the device and it really is extremely beautiful!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

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.

lol.nah.camera is about the same.resolution is higher,but pix look the same.
its like this.sensation and amaze are in the drawer,while im typing on my t989.
adw ex,themed,no more touchwiz,and bam.
love the sensation though.
but gs2 kills it.

I was thinking about getting the sgs2. I had the at&t version and it was awesome but hated at&t so I switched to tmobile. Picked up the sensation cause it was cheap. Does the tmobile sgs2 have any seriously annoying problems that you've experienced?

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.

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.

wtf...
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

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.

[Q] LG G2x Vs Sensation - Should I switch my G2x to the Sensation?

Will this be considered an upgrade?
Only you guys know how is the dev section with the sensation (i love roms, so want a phone that gives me flexibility on that)
Thanks
If you want good dev support, I say get a nexus s. (Or stay with the g2x, idk what the scene is like on that particular device) I got one for that very reason and I haven't looked back since. What it really comes down to is whether you like sense or not. If you have even the slightest disdain for it, I say don't get the sensation. Most of the best roms are sense based and IMO the aosp rooms are pretty lacking as of right now. If sense is your thing, go for it. Though, I will warn you, the screen on the sensation is of considerably lower quality than the g2x. Don't let the resolution fool you, the pixel densities of the two screens are pretty similar. And the sensation has a low quality tn panel while the g2x has a decent ips panel.

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.

What do you think about the sensation?

Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug
In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics
I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.

Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.

The BAD:

*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
