ace 2 vs sensation xe
Hello;
I want to buy my first smartphone, but I am torn between samsung ace 2 and htc sensation xe. The sensation xe is 50$ more from ace 2, but that is not a problem( that is the top of my budget), as sensation xe has 4.3" screen vs 3.8" for ace 2, sensation xe is faster and better looking.
My main problems with sensation xe are dust under screen and death grip. I mean I don't want to bring a brand new phone, and before using it,
I have to put silicon around the edges of the screen to seal it, then I might put aluminum foil on the back antennas to stop death grip.
What is your advice to me, keeping in mind that whichever phone I get, I am going to keep it for like 5 years.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards.

I would highly sugest the Htc Senstion XE over Samsung G Ace 2 because of following reasons -
1)Processor - 1.5 Ghz Dual Core on htc xe while ace 2 is stuck at 800 mhz dual core.
2)Camera - On Ace 2 is not worth mentioning and it sucks while here also Htc S Xe does a great job
3)Design - Xe look significantly better than ace 2.
4)Screen - Screen is larger and of better quality.
Even after the cons you mentioned Htc Sensation XE is my choice.

For Build Quality & Premium Feel - HTC
For Sheer Speed - Samsung
When ICS comes out, I think that it will seriously improve the HTC Sensation's speed and put it at a good competing level against the Galaxy S II. There is a new Galaxy 'supposedly' coming out soon anyway.

The only thing that I like about sensation is the WiFi range which is pretty high compared to sgs2..
You mean galaxy nexus. Well I am located in Morocco , they don't even have HTC lol. Sgs2 is the latest down here .

How cheap are we talking? If you have the opportunity to get it for $150 or less after selling the sensation, I would definitely go for it.

The sensation xe has a lot more power, but not the same screen size or resolution. I had the choice of buing ether the sensation xe or the nexus, and i chose the sensation.
So i guess it's a matter of what u want most. Slim design, a big high def screen (and of course native ice cream sandwich). Or a powerfull music phone (wich i prefer).
But if i got a offer of a very cheap nexus i would go for that, but only if it was VERY cheap

I am in the same situation here. I have the XE but I really like the Nexus's design and ICS. I love my music on the HTC but I have the opportunity to switch to nexus and keep the iBeats. The difference i'd be paying to switch to Nexus is 40Euros. Please reply asap, thank you
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

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
Hi folks,
I know this is not the right forum to ask a question like this but I have been using my desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

If you are a flashaholic would you not be better off going for the Galaxy Nexus?
At this stage you would probably be better off getting a second hand Sensation or SII as long as it is in good condition, would be much cheaper.
s2 will be better then sensation, sensation battry really sucks!! AND my suggestion is XPERIA S!
Don't buy a sensation, buy a Sensation XE. Better battery, 1.5 GHz processor. The ROM's you flash will be the same though.
S2 is a wonderful and fast phone, but I personally don't like is design. It has 1.2 GHz....but I guess it's a little above your budget around 27k I presume..unless you get a nice deal.
Evo 3D and Xperia P are 25k in the market. Both are pretty awesome. Xperia P just looks so elegant though
Best of luck
Although I wanna know...how did you manage to break a gorilla glass display ?!?!

You are also in the same mind set as mine build quality and the ui is the only thing that makes me lean towards sensation xe but htc is having a bad time releasing source codes so em a little bit worried as if after some 2 good years I will loose my help from dev community
I like Xperia P a lot but dunno how for their dev community is????

Yeah, there is no better UI than Sense. And is just looks so good. If you get XE for 24k then is wonderful !
Although I'd like to point out that HTC of its really slow with updates. I got ICS mid easy through July. On top of that there was some problem in the update and I don't have a working Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll have to go to the service centre and install a 'solution' to get it fixed. This however hasn't happen to all XE's. Only to some unfortunate devices. (For more information on this check my thread about it on my profile...I don't want to troll too much here)
About Xperia P...Sony devices don't have rapid and consistent development as far as I know...my brother had Xperia Arc S and its kinda slow.
About the screen now I know what not to do I punch my wildfire even often :banghead:

Hey, I had the desire s for just over a year too and I've just got the one S. I recommend it. Takes a while to get used to the super amoled screen but when you get used to it, it's a fantastic device. It's got a great size screen. 4.3 inch is much better than 3.7 and I think 4.8 is a bit too big. It's also the same size screen as the galaxy s2 and it's a super amoled display so you're getting the greatness of the sgs2 screen on an HTC. It's got a fantastic processor as well the snapdragon s4 is incredible powerful. im getting quadrant scores of about 5000 which is higher than the quad core one x! So get the one s and then you're staying within the HTC community. I've picked up the sgs2 and I just don't like the build quality of their phones. It's like they have expensive hardware chucked in plastic! Doesn't make sense to me and touch wiz is horrible, no problem if like you say you are a "flashoholic" I'm not sure if it's in your budget but it can't be too far off considering it's dual core and the s3 model is cheaper I think
He is right, I guess if you can manage getting One S at even 28k buy it blindly...I didn't recommend this because it's above 30k in the market.
Something I learnt is never by a flagship phone if you are after the next flagship phone is announced or out. I got Desire HD in august '11 and sensation was announced in September. One X was announced as soon as I bought my XE. They just ditch the older one and concentrate upgrading the newer.

Still, is it the s3 or s4 version, because with the s3 you would got more or less just a overclocked sensation without sd and removable battery.

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.
Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!

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:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
