Which phone? SG2, HTC Sensation or HTC Evo 3d

Hi all I'm in need of a new phone. I want to stick with android and I have it down to either the Samsung Galaxy S 2, the HTC sensation or the HTC evo 3D. In order of importance I'm looking for :
1- Battery life... I need the phone to last all day through emailing, texting and phone calls with Bluetooth. I have the Samsung captivate right now and I charge it 2 or 3 times a day and have tried almost every Rom put there to try and improve battery life.
2- ability to flash roms although I think they're all pretty easy
3- built quality
4- camera quality
As far as performance I'm guessing they're all great considering they're dual core.
Input is welcome. Thanks

I would like to write HTC sensation, but if you want better life of battery you should choose SGS2

SGS2 is good, HTC not too good!

Wouldn't you want to decide which carrier to use first?

I will unlock and use on Rogers. The EVO 3D will be a Rogers phone out in 2 weeks.

I have heard from peeps with the EVO 3D that the battery life isn't anything spectacular. On par with the EVO 4G which means it is just "OK".
Does Rogers have any kind of tryout policy like some others? I know on Sprint you have 30-40 days to try the phone and return for different one if you don't like it. This is what I would do. All good phones and there is good/bad with each.

Yes Rogers has a tryout for 30 minute talk time and I think 14 days. The evo is from Rogers so I might try that. The galaxy s2 and the sensation are from bell so I would have to unlock them which means I couldn't return them.

Seeing that you're a Samsung user now, maybe you'd like to try out HTC. But the SGS has one thing over HTC phones: a sort of internal SD card that handles data like Data2SD--without needing to root or flash anything. That, plus longer battery life should make SGS II the winner. (it pains me to say that, being an HTC fanboy)

Easy choice. I don't care about 3D on a cellphone. To me it's a gimmick. Plus Sprint does not offer their lame 4G in San Diego while TMobile offers their HSPA+. Therefore I would go with the Sensation. It averaged 6.5 Mbps down and 1.75 upload using SpeedTest. I can live with that.

^Sounds like you know nothing and just want to shoot down Sprint, which has nothing to do with the OP's question. Hmmm...
Anyways.
I love my E3D, but if you're looking for battery life I'd say SGSII. AS far as build quality goes, the Sensation and E3D have a FANTASTIC build quality, especially the Sensation. The Sensation also looks the best out of the three as well if you ask me. The dedicated camera button and high(er) quality screen on the E3D make it good as well, and also the available RAM on the E3D sets it apart. Once it gets rooted the development will wayyyy take off for the E3D too. All the phones have their benefits and downsides though, like the fact that the E3D can't do 1080p recording. The SAMOLED+ screen on the SGSII is spectacular too, but unfortunately it isn't qHD res like the Sensation and EVO 3D.
What it really comes down to is what fits your needs within a phone but they're all solid phones to me.
I've handled all three as well, so I'm not just throwing **** out there.

SGSII
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.

Having tested each phone, first the sensation for a week and then the SGS2 I would recommend the SGS2.
The sensation has a nicer ui by far. Sense 3.0 has a lot of bells and whistles that just make using it so nice. But after using the SGS2 i feel the great ui is a bit of a mask for weaker hardware. Albeit a very beautifully crafted mask that I would commend them on.
The SGS2 does have better use but for heavy usage the SGS you'll be recharging at 8pm vs the sensation at 6pm. It's not earth shatteringly different. I found out of the box the SGS2 was set up to conserve batteries more than the sensation (quicker screen timeouts, lower screen brightness, etc) however the sensation can be adjusted to narrow the gap.
In terms of screen quality the higher resolution on the sensation get's blown away by the better quality of picture on the SGS2, i constantly have people commenting on how nice my screen looks [Super AMOLED plus >>> qHD]
In the end i'd summarize it as the Sensation wins the out of the box Software contest but the SGS2 wins the hardware contest.
FWIW: You can change software but you can't replace hardware.
just my opinion/review

Thanks for all the input. Bought the Galaxy S2. Rooted, unlocked with the martket galaxy s unlocker and have been using the villain rom for the last 24hrs. Very smooth so far and absolutely no FC's or any issues. Battery life on day 1 has been pretty good after surfing, texting, some light games and 2 hours talk time over bluetooth, gmail, exchange mail etc. I have 45% left after 14hrs which is way better than previous phones.
The phone does feel very "plasticy" compared to the Galaxy S which had a nice solid feel and that metal back cover and even compared to some of the other phones I've had the last little while (X10, Desire Z, Droid2 Global, etc.), it is very light though, oh and the screen is fantastic!

SGS2 for my future. Dualcore & super amoled support 64GB.
Also very thin, I really like this phone.

Need help chosing a new phone?

First some history. Im currently using a Desire HD and switching from sense to CM7 back in forth once in a while so custom ROMs are a must.
Previous to that had a nexus one.
My main requists are the following
Flashable ROMs
good battery life
Good overall performance
Good reception and call qaulity
Good speaker
Screen at lease 4"
Must take MicroSD (I have a 32gig and I spent 100$ to get it so I want to use it)
Im looking to get a new phone and im pretty much down to the following 4 choices which are currently available to me in Canada
LG Optimus 2X
LG Optimus 3D
HTC EVO 3D
Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G
Samsung Galaxy S II 4G
HTC Sensation 4G
MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G
MOTOROLA XT860 4G
Now in terms of price they are all give or take about the same. Specs wise the atrix still looks like a good buy especially now that bootloader is unlocked. 1 gig of ram 16gig internal plus external etc but from what I hear the screen isnt one of the best out there and due to the higher pixel count speed on the CPU takes a hit.Battery is huge which is a big plus
In general I think the 3D thing is just a gimmick so that's no big deal for me as long as the 5megapixel is semi decent
I could care less about full keyboards as im used to screen ones now
In general I tend to avoid LG due to past issues but the optimus 2 has some good reviews out there.
As for Samsung ive known a few people who say changing roms is harder then lets say on HTC devices.
So any opinion would be appreciated.
So in order here are my priorities with these
Reception
Voice quality
Battery life
Ease of rom installation and support
Good speaker
Good overall CPU performance
Screen size
Good cam 5MP and up
Dont care if its HSPA+ or whatever. Never get above 3Mbps on my network anyways

But the battery is pretty small for a device with qHD and 4.3 screen also in my general experience Sense looks night but takes allot of potential out of the CPU compared to CM7 or base android.
Also it has less internal storage and RAM then some of the other devices as well

But AFAIK,battery backup is wayy better in sensation compared to sgs 2 although both r dual core...!
N btw,stock roms tend to take a hell lot of ram...customs roms uses wayy less ram..
N hell yeah,memory is a bit f problem unless u root it..
N btw,nothing can touch d samoled screen f sgs2,but one has to consider other things too...

Well from the looks of xda its easy to root the GS2
as for battery I see Mugen has a 3200mah battery but would distroy the look of the phone.

At this point I think im leaning towards SGII seems specs are as good if not better then Atrix and battery is bigger then the Sensation

You won't regret your choices on any of the phones you listed but I would go with the: Samsung Galaxy S II 4G. I have one & it's awesome. Check out the SGSII forums to see what ROMs & other goodies you can get if you decide to get a SGSII.

Hows the battery on it? Any recommendations on ROMs? Is it easy to flash customer stuff?
I saw how to root and also I see there is CWM for it so figure it should be easy to install ROMs and kernels and stuff after.

Battery life is awesome & I've been using Cognition since it's release. It's easy peezy hence why I love it so much. I use to have a HTC Inspire & it was a pain in the beginning but easy after I made a successful gold card.

Love at first sight and then buy
Expected to come google-motorola... joked I say we go into the store and buy what you like it.

New Phone
Definitely judging by my hands on experience HTC or Motorola!

Id say the sensation 4g, in my opinion.

Thanks for all the replies

Sensation, or ATRIX+dock.

htc make amazing phones.. I bought the desire a year ago and it performs like a rock! and rocks do perform, it's known

I would suggest the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G.
The battery life is solid, it's very easy to root (check out its forum).
The camera is awesome, and the screen can't be beat.
Go for it.

Find dock is a waste of money. Leaning towards SGS2. Other then the battery on the atrix the specs beat all the others. Don't need qhd as that takes away from the cpu for nothing in my view

I would go for the optimus 2x. I have a g2x and love it. GREAT screen, GREAT camera. GREAT phone. haha

I am loving my Infuse. Best phone I've ever had. It is easy to root, go back to stock, flash roms and just about evrything else. Htc seems a lot more difficult.to do all these.to begin with.
The screen is amazing, first phone I actually wanted to watch anything on(had iphone previously).
Battery life is good and there are good roms although right now they are on hold awaiting att to roll.out gb update to the phone.

I would, if I didn't have to pay out the wazoo for it lol. Hardware-wise, it'll smoke the Sensation 4G, well, except for resolution! But, even with that, it has the SAMOLED+ screen which is probably much better than ours (even though ours is pretty good).

I might wait till I find someone who gets sick if it and wants to trade for MT sensation. Lol
U never know I may get lucky. The sooner the better

HTC build quality is much better, plus I'm an HTC loyalist. HTC phones always feel more solid and sturdy than the plasticky samsung phones. They're too light weight almost and feel like I could break them with my bear hands. I like the aluminum frame of the Sensation. I'm very happy with my sensation. SAMOLED screens are better in most cases, but I had a friend who owned a vibrant and that screen had an annoying blue tinge, as do most of the samoled screens I think. The screen I have has very pure whites and surprisingly dark blacks, and is fine in sunlight, especially compared to my old phone. I can read texts just fine in bright daylight, this screen is very bright. Plus the resolution is higher. I love the qHD screen.

I am day one....selling my sensation

I'll be getting one but keeping the Sensation. I love that big screen and I'm not thrilled with HTC's build quality. Everything on my Sensation seems a little loose and shakey, but I'm curious to see what the dev's will do with it.

Please elaborate how it would "smoke" the sensation hardware wise.

Sgs2 is Samsung galaxy uhh woops. Its sg2 lol.
The sgs4g was the virbrant plus flash and 4g. Single core.
Sg2 is dual core.
I like sense and I have feeling sense will only.get faster with upcoming roms but if it doesn't seem to get much better I'm definetly going sg2.
I'm not saying sense roms are slow now. They are really fast. Just not lightening fast.

Why...
Are people on here so addicted to new tech that they will jump to another phone as soon as a new one comes out?
I got the phone I wanted on a 2yr contract knowing that in less than 6m it would be surpassed by something newer but not neccessarily better.
I like the Sensation and can't see me changing for the S2 espec as I would not be able to cover the cost of a sim-free version.
If I had wanted the S2 I would have got it and then lived with it for the life of my contract
The Sensation is not a perfect phone, but it's a darn good one (better than the iphone 3g) I came from.

I dont think the phone will be any faster than the sensation considering its not shipping with the exynos SOC/

So outta curiosity how truly good is cyanogenmod? Someone who really knows his stuff.
Cause I tried it on sensation just a bit ago and although yea it is quick it didn't blow me away. Went right back to sense.
Also deriving from what I mentikned up there I saw someone post something about a new nexus s being faster then cyanogenmod??
I mention this because one of my friends whose a girl and knows nkthig about phones had soooo much crap on the nexus s. It was the sprint version I believe. And with like three messaging apps all running, many different browsers, and seriusly a whole lotta crap the phone was sooooo fast.
I literally was stunned. It was stock and every single thing I did on it was instantaneous.
And u know when u see bunch of stuff in notification bar and u just kinda know it ll lag a bit. I felt that but was surprised with zero lag.
It sadly has me thinking...

The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, and that hits performance because the phone has to push data to more pixels; also the Sensation and SG2 have similar processors (as you pointed out) but the Sensation runs at 1.2 MHz and the SG2 runs at 1.5 MHz.
ROMs aside, the SG2 is faster on paper.

I agree with you I have always like the HTC build quality but performance wise they have been lacking and the debacle the caused with the so called Bootloader unlock then say screw you no warranty was the icing on the cake. I came from a Evo 4g to the Sensation to the Epic 4G Touch resolution not a problem for me. the performance and smoothness of the OS what's going to appeal to the OS faithful that may come running seeing that Apple decided to give them nothing. this year basically all this hype and they got what would be a 3GS to the 4g lol.

I will give you that. I love HTC Sense as well but I believe that as of right now its to bloated and holding back what the processor is really capable of.

well i got play with the Amaze a couple days ago and i can tell you for a fact that the processor is definately snappier in stock form , i was getting 2700 quadrant scores with it stock , now with that said i think the SGS2 will be alot faster running a more vanilla android, I am planning on getting a SGS2 and i cant believe im even saying that ,reason being is that the sensation is falling apart on me , the glass coverig my camera lens fell out and that wasnt a big deal to me until the rocker on the volume button fell off , now i dont know if flashing three thousand times already has something to do with it but im a little dissapointed by that. all being said i just want a bigger screen and thats the main reason plus it gets the better processor and front camera

Not me
I wanted an SGS2 bad enough to almost buy one from overseas unlocked when they first hit the market. But since Samsung decided to release it here last, there are new phones coming out before the end of the year that by far surpass the SGS2. America is the largest consumer of High-end smart phones (yes, i researched it) mainly because we constantly upgrade to the newest and best. Samsung was stupid to release it here last. If someone gave me an SGS2 in trade i'd do it, but it's not worth sinking more cash into a new SGS2 when quad-core is literally right around the corner. Plus phones like the Sharp Aquas and the Note (can't remember which company is making it) will be out in a few months and they surpass the SGS2 in speed, display, screen size, etc. (and these aren't event quad-core as far as the specs ive seen, but still better than the SGS2).
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I'll be waiting for a Quad-core device with Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus, the PS vita is quad-core and you can make calls from it Better than PS3 graphics in the palm of my hand! Talk about a gaming device! hahahahah

[Q] POLL Samsung Galaxy SII vs. HTC Sensation

Hi all,
first i'm new to this forum and i seize the opportunity to say hello to everyone!
I'm planning to buy a new smartphone and i'm undecided about what phone between Samsung Galaxy S2 and the htc Sensation.
I really Like the Htc Sense and the sensation cut and I'm oriented to buy this one!
On the other hands GSII is more powerfull, more capacious but IHMO less handsome! It has also a more resistant and lightfull screen than the sensation!
Please XDA USERS answer to this poll, and explain me the PROS & CONS!

Well judging from the enormous HTC fanbase on xda, the sensation is more likely the one to win the poll. However I'm still going to go out and say the sgs 2 is the best in efficiency (obvious from the fact that little ram is used and the fluidity of the UI) for android. Any other android device out there that can play a 1080p youtube video?
However it really depends on what you want, eye candy or efficiency.

The myTouch 4G Slide plays 1080p like its 360p... So smooth. But, GS2 for sure...

Yes,i totally agree with Kailkti...I've pesonally used the SGS2 and i was an owner of the 1st so i have to say i was blown away with it's speed!It's VERY fast and quite smooth but also simple to use and quite elegant actually...plus there are lots of custom roms and kernels to use to modify the device as you like!Even overclock the cpu/gpu plus more...
I think sensation is no match for SGS2...

another important aspect that i would deal with is also the battery lasting!
I really stress my current phone (my old dear nokia n95 8 gb)! I send like 100 sms per day! Are those devices able to live all the day long?

Im not you so I can't speak for you. However for me this can last two days for me. If you are spend a day sending sms it might last. Granted your screen isn't on for more than 8-10hrs.

my friend own a sgs2 and my brother is using htc / my phones are in my sig i personally used both but htc leads the game
Samsung SGS2 = poor build quality in every 4 months u will need to buy new acc for it ..... / not that good with small hands / powerfull but do we really need that
HTC Sensation = Good build quality / good battery timing with data on / looks beautiful in all sized hands / every upcoming apps / games / new os supported
Htc the best ...

I really do not know what of those 2 smartphones buy!
SGS2 Is more powerfull and the battery lasts more than the htc! But The sensation IS SO COOL!!! Damn!

I've owned both in the past and to be honest I enjoyed the Sensation a lot more. It just feels so good in the hands and the UI is addiciting as candy (somewhat). I was planning on getting one a few weeks ago but held off since Bell was releasing the HTC Raider. Been using the new Bold for awhile but that died soooo I get a free replacement from Best Buy and with that I'm most likely gonna go with the raider.

Moves as a question

Sensation OWNERS let me know how long do your batterys live!!
Ps. Please submit the poll!

up message! I hope that it is not against the rules!

Former HD2 owner and a great phone it was too and i generally like HTC, however nothing can beat the SGSII in almost every aspect (ICS beta almost ready too)

HTC makes better phones but galaxy s 2 is better than sensation

double post! Sorry!

As an extremely heavy user (two phones, both dead in eight hours or less) my Sensation's battery doesn't last that long unless I use an Anker extended (1900Mah) and a powerskin case (another 1500Mah) but I'm not the norm either. I love my Sensation (and I'm living in a house with a Nexus S, Sensation, Rezound, Vivid, Nexus One and two Galaxy tabs (10.1))

The S2 is better as far as performance and screen quality goes but the build quality feels cheap and Touchwiz is gross. Sense is much better.
Both have their pros and cons I guess...

i am also in this dillema. curently owning an htc desire. wanted to go for the sensation but even if I expected nothing but good build quality from HTC i see hundreds of post on xda about dust under the screen, death grip and poor screen quality. so now i don't know wich to buy. btw htc sense is the only thing that keeps me near the sensation but i think that the sgs2 with a third party launcher would be even nicer. any suggestions?

After the Sensation what?

So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?

after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love

Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.

Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.

I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

Just go and grab am iPod Touch if you really wanna how it looks and acts

I really love the look of new Sony xperias....specially the bottom strip....but i think i need to sacrifice on performance and available rom options if i wanna go with Sony.

Im keeping my sensation for a good while the nexus doesn't worth it 3hours screen on time max bad reception camera isn't great however great display and i have ics on my phone so the gnex isnt so special ...

Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?

Holding out for quad core. Sensation is a great phone for me, minus the dust issue that I'm about to solve with some gasket goo... I'm on phone 4. There really isn't anything spectacular out there for me.

Want a phone with a camera as good as the iphone camera, let's face it the camera is the only thing it has that's better.
Never had a Sony Xperia phone but have heard that they have some of the best optics and Sony is developer friendly. Too bad the good ones hardly come to the US.

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see

Quad core ? I hope you guys gonna hold whit you 20 extra batteries during your day ! dual core isn't good imagine quad core

I love HTC and I love Sense and I will be getting the One X on Sprint. The Galaxy Nexus looks appealing but the camera is garbage and since I have a 4 year old the camera is very important to me.

nice...
yea i guess u would need a heat sink or some kinda fan on the back of a quad core device too cool it down....

Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.

I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)
