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 current Sensations CPU is the same but bogged down, just OC using faux123 kernel to 1.5GHz
Why pay double on the same exact phone besides beats??

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

GS4 is a waste stay away!

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.

[Q]Is the GSII faster?[Q]

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

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE using xda premium

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.

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.

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?

Take it easy buddy

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.

[Q] One S or SGSII?

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

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

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.

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.
