Right guys hopefully you can help me out. I need a new phone and i'm torn between Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation.
If any one can provide me some feedback on either of them, would be appreciated.
The only thing i require is i want an Android and not Apple! :smiley:
Cheers

Well alli know is the sensations battery life is f**king pish my mate has had 6 customers come back this week about the battery life.... he says galaxy 2 isa better phone but will come down to opinion www.gsmarena.com best place to get the info on a phone vs another
-
My HTC Sensation lasts the day with me listening to music on it at work so not bad really for what the phone has got on it.

True enough but even a iphone 4 playing music will last 2 days as its a neewer phone id expect more... but in most cases htc are great phonesbut are reknown for poor battery life accross the range

I'm swaying more to the Samsung GS2 but just wanted to know what people who have one think of it.

S2 is a great phone Mate. I have one and it's really quick and does everything you will ever need. HTC have a reliability issue as well.
-
Ive got a galaxy S2 and its awesomeeee. I shall expand on this later but i haven't got time :laugh:

Forget the Sensation....
HTC Sensation XE baby, Announced yesterday I think it was. It's faster and comes with Beats Audio :wink:

Haha was waiting for you to pop up! :cool:
So you reckon the sensation XE over the S2?
As long as it has android then i am happy!! :grin:
-
I have the Sensation and my Dad has the S2, I prefer his phone but I would never tell him that :wink: The battery life is pretty pants to be honest, Its pretty much on charge all the time and it has little hissy fits every now and again and is sometimes unresponsive. Although it does look sexy as fook and works well when it wants to! Much like my girlfriend lol........................................ :evil:

I'm biased towards HTC, samsungs roms are boring (the ones I've tried in the past), HTC do cool things with Android!
-
I have the S2 and the wife HAD the HTC and sold it promptly as it was dire. The S2 is brilliant, I do have to charge it every night but its simple to use and is very fast and the torque app is fantastic on it.
S2 1
HTC 0

Likewise, HTC's are also better built. The Samsung feels like a kids toy in comparison. That said I'm hating the latest OTA Android update and its spazzed it up a bit but I'm just gonna flash it back when I get the chance.
Whats the low down on the XE then, Jay?
-
Just had a play on both in the phone shop. Much prefer the way the HTC works, but prefer the way the S2 handles if that makes sense?
Hmmm...
Nokia 3310 it is! :grin:

:cool:
Not a lot, but enough to choose it over the 'old' Sensation.
1.5ghz Dual core instead of the 1.2Ghz Dual core in the 'old' sensation, so a bit quicker.
Nice 'Beats' Red highlights that look good on it.
and ofc the Beats sound system that HTC bought to put in their phones, no other OEM will be able to have it either because HTC now own it.
oh and a different ROM specific to this model (unless you root and install this ROM)
EDIT: also got a slightly bigger capacity battery than the 'old' sensation.
-
Yeah noticed the battery capacity, 1720mAh instead of current puny 1520mAh. Still not enough but its an improvement.
I'm currently using an Anker 1900mAh battery which is loads better, but boy are these phones juicy.
-
Seeing as the XE is focused on audio then I wonder if they've improved the built in loudspeaker or the software regarding volume?
-
SGS2 is a great phone. If you root it and flash it with the proper stuff your batter could last 3 days. You don't need 1.5Ghz phone the Samsung Galaxy eats up everything you throw at it, imagaine how that 1.5Ghz processor is going to kill that HTC.
Samsung is lighter, thinner and has the best screen I've seen on a phone. Also the camera is insane compared to a HTC, HTC camera has over saturation issues. I had an HTC played with it and couldn't wait to give it back.
I'm getting a Galaxy on Wednesday, can't wait.

i have just got the s2 and it's OSSUM!
-
Galaxy S2, I have the galaxy and am considering trading in and paying an extra £200 for the S2. Great phone, real slim, quite large but all phones are massive these days. There are some real good cases out there for the S2 as well, proper easily used with the cover on!

htc ftw
Battery life is a bit pants,i need to charge mine daily :angry:
camera pics are alright,android is :cool: loads of free apps to download especially "drag racers" :smug:
Never tried the s2 so cant comment on that.

Every smartphone suffers this, apparently the Quad core processors (coming later this year) are going to be much better on the old battery.

Drag racers ftw!

DRAG RACERS!!!! :cool:

have a play with the motorola atrix! very similar spec to galaxy s2 but imo better feel, not as big or sharp around the edges, plus if google do buy motorola then expect some really good development designed just for them too
-
saw a tweet earlier about the S2 in europe getting the same 1.5Ghz dual core cpu, but didn't read the article as it's only a samsung :tongue: Might come here then.
-
Are you talking about the LTE version? Believe it or not it even has a bigger screen
-
Never used the HTC so can't comment but I've got a SGS2 and it's seriously good on all levels. The screen is awesome. It's proper f*cking tough too... Dropped it from about 8ft on to a hard floor last weekend, it bounced up about 2ft and there's literally not a mark on it (and it still works, obviously!).

Just downloading Drag Racing :cool:
Another excellent game Air Attack HD :cool: :cool:
