[Q] One S or SGSII? - HTC One S

Hey guys, I have offers for a trade and I'm paying out LOADS for a One S or a SGSII, the one is grey and the SGSII is black and both in really good condition. What phone do you guys think I should choose? I know the one s is faster but it suffers from overheating problems and it doesn't have a removable battery so how is the battery life ( realistically ) because you can't replace it?

I traded in my t-mobile usa SGSII for HTC one S just last week and could not be happier.

S one.

What about overheating? My cousin complains about it quite a bit.

none so far

I sell my SGS2 for an ONE s

Thanks for the feedback guys, so the phone doesn't even feel warm?
That's good, deffo going for one of these babies then

Tell Ur cuz to fully charge it off once. I did that and the heating went.
ofcourse it will get war under constant heavy use, other than that its normal.
one s is comparable to the s3 not s2 so one s is the right move.
I was also deciding between the white sgs2 and the one s but after my research I picked the one s, the processor is crazy.

I would get the One s but the case can chip which is a bummer

But surely it is better than the Samsung galaxy s2's plastic?

One S hands down. There have been reports of overeating but I've personally seen none in the three weeks I've had this phone. I personally love the sense experience and the look and feel of HTC phones. I think Samsung phones look and feel cheap, even the premium handsets.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

Absolutely one S. SGS2 is a good phone, but one s is faster, have a better display and also have physical buttons designed for ics. Furthermore one s is a new model, so probably could keep an higher market value (and probably more updates) in future than sgs2.

the design alone will have you sold over Samsung's poor build quality
the screen and the speed are sensational and you can use dropbox for additional storage needs
ONE S is a sexy phone

I've had the Nexus S 4G since launch and at this point, it's going to take a lot to pry this phone out of my hands.. It is still easily the best god damn phone I've ever owned and with ICS coming there is really no end in sight for exchanging it for something else.
In ur case, EVO 3d?

Speaking only for myself, not a chance. I love this phone.
I think you really will enjoy the Nexus. Its a great phone. I hope to always keep a Nexus in the stable.
I feel the same way, I will most likely always have a Nexus variant if not collect each one.
I wouldn't trade my nexus for anything other than the galaxy nexus. I got mine on the launch day last year and still loving it.
You should definitely trade. I have both and except for the dev support and screen, the sensation is better in everyway. And sense 3.5 on it is BADASS. ONLY carrier overlay that is worth a **** IMO.
I have both the Nexus S AND the Sensation. I like them both almost equally. Although, I do like the way the Sensation feels in my hand a little better. But....YMMV.
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
I wouldn't, it's a marginal hardware update, and then there's sense, which in all of its variations I just don't like. I follow there cm7 though, looking fairly stable at this point. That's a plus if there's one. This is just my opinion, not trying to start a flame war or anything

So true, I'll never buy another bloatware-laden locked down phone evar!!!!
I broke my HTC Desire HD, and as I had to buy a new device, the best and cheapest choice was the Nexus S (LCD here in France, far better than amoled picture wise).
There is only two thing the Nexus S is better than the DHD, its screen with better colors and backlight, and the useless but funny toy: nfc chip. Ah, another one : easy device unlock and rooting !
If I could afford it, I'll buy a Sensation or Incredible S, or even Desire HD any time.
Better alu case, better overall feeling with HTC devices, better camera... More Ram, and so on...
Maybe worse in benchmarks, but overall use experience much smoother and less laggy.
Now HTC devices are again unlocked, so MIUI is again available on theses rigs, so if you have to choose between a Sensation or a Nexus S, I'll choose the the HTC every time!
As you already own a Sensation, from my point of view, you are going a step down, maybe two...
But it is only my opinion.

Agreed, I hate all those custom UI's, AOSP FTW!
i think i would swap
but im waiting for the next nexus if i can hold out. i realize i need dual cores. i multitask way to much.
i also want a rock steady gps and the nexus s is flaky at times
i also need a better camera. after the epic i have been spoiled
i might not find the camera portion in the new nexus. i will hold out for the gs3 if i have to get it shipped.

480x800 is so 2009
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.
Matt
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.

HTC One S vs HTC Sensation / XE

Is it just me or is the sensation very similar to the htc one s minus the adreno 225 where as the sensation has adreno 220?
The CPU has been improved immensely. So has the camera. The screen is also super amoled but pentile matrix :/ so that can be argued I guess.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
The screen of the HTC One s is better than the screen of the HTC Sensation.
I prefer having removable batteries, and removable SD storage.
In day to day usage, the Sensation offers me exactly what I need as it is already quite powerful. I don't game either.
Sure the One S is a better phone, but not really worth the upgrade IMO. I'll keep waiting, maybe might get the next Google Flagship phone at the earliest. (And that is a big might.)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
they are definately similar but the one s would be better of course i like to think of it as an upgrade to the sensation, 4g, xe, amaze 4g, and rezound which if you look at it they are all very similar in design or specs it is like part 6 of the sensation saga the design is very similar on the one s and sensation just more polished i think so if you combine the amaze+sensation+rezound+new cpu+different screen (not saying better since i like lcd compared to amoled screen)= one s

That's exactly my opinion.
Plus - it has enough power for games.
Plus 64GB sdcard capabilities - and that might not be the maximum - no windy cloud storage and roaming plan for data access necessary.
No One really beats the Sensation
to me, its a load of crap!
same pixel density just super amoled for more vibrant colours
upd the ram by 200mb
camera isnt better, the camera app is, which doesnt mean it cant be ported
processor is better but, tbh, sensation is still a beast at gaming and will be until the next flagship for google comes out
If I had the money I'd upgrade..
To me it is just a perfected sensation - more ram, more unified body, faster, better screen, better camera...
Not sure why they chose to have no SD or removable battery, but guessing there are advantages otherwise HTC wouldn't have done it.

I think it has a new image processing chip too, not just the new software - so a port wouldn't give the sendation the same camera quality as the one s.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
No but the Sense 4 camera app does run 99% effective on the Sensation. It's even graphically accelerated so menus and whatnot are easy to use while in the camera instead of sluggish like Sense 3.6
I just picked up the one s today and I had the sensation. The one s is a beast the camera is amazing. And honestly the pentile screen doesn't bother me I can't even tell unless my face is like an inch away from the screen bit who uses their phone like that. And its so Much faster the devs here have done a great job with the sense 4 port but is not even close to the speed of the one s. It really is a night and day difference. And as far as storage I just use google play music and it stores all my songs without taking up space. I did love the development for the sensation but this one s is a beast.it really feels like a premium phone with the aluminum body

HTC did it for quality control. That's why Apple does it. Thats why any of them do it. Makes it easier to troubleshoot an issue if you can rule out another manufacturers SD card or after market battery causing problems.
A jacked SD card or crappy after market battery leads to more warranty repairs for them.
Hopefully there will be bigger storage and more external battery cases for new Android devices if the trend continues, which I think is an absolute certainty.
Good for them, sucks for most of us who want the option.

I went to T-moble today to upgrade from my sensation to the one s, but NOPE. The pentil display was way to obvious for me. I love my display in the sensation. I could clearly see the pixles/blocks without trying. Now I have perfect 20/20 vision. It was just too obvious for me.
Now I knew about and was looking for it. IF I did nto know I might have missed it in the showroom floor, but after playing with it at home for some time it would have become very obvious. Once you see the pixles they dont go away. This was a major turn off for me.
The lack of SD no big deal at all for me. But the non removeable battery AND pentile display, I'll wait for a T-moble version of the One X or the next HTC product.
The offered me a free Samsung Glaxacy 2 or something like that but I love HTC and sense.

It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment
I will be getting the Galaxy S III!
Honestly...none...
I would prefer htc one x..if you can wait more surely s3...:beer:

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using xda premium
Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!
Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable
I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.
check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation
I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.

Who is better? Samsung galaxy s2 vs HTC sensation

Hi all, in your opinion who of this devices are better in gpu, games, CPU etc? The Samsung galaxy s2 or the HTC sensation? I think for me the sensation is better in materials, more faster, better design etc, and what do you think? Sorry for my English but I'm spanish

There both good phones for me when I had my s2 I didn't like how it felt in my hand it felt cheap even though it ain't lol. My g2x was a good phone but no stable ics made me move to the sensation . But out of those 3 phones the g2x had the best screen while out doors

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.

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.
