Much difference between HTC One S and HTC Sensation XE? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apart from the different version of operating systems and RAM, is there actually much [significant] difference between these two phones?? Or have I missed something obvious?

New generation SoC with much higher performance(Cortex A15 class CPU at 28nm), better screen(high quality IPS display), better camera(hardware and software wise) and I would even risk to say that it has better overall build quality.
Maybe not much, but as a whole this is what sensation XE should have been from the start.

Ah yes, I looked a bit further into the different processor types after my first post.
I have an upgrade due and am weighing up my options.
The One S, in my opinion, seems to look better and of a better build quality than the One X. The ideal device for me would be the size, look and build of the S, with the extra performance hardware, screen res. of the X.

I'm concerned about batterylife. They put in better specs but no talk about batterylife.

From my own point of view THE advantages of the Sensation over the One-Series are
- changeable battery > can use higher capacity batteries
- presence of a sdcard > eats microsdxc 64GB
Therefore I'll stick to my beloved XE and would definitely NOT buy one of the three new Ones.

How does the Ti Omap processor compare to the Exynos?

I realize that this is the Vibrant forum, but it is the general section... so dont get too pissed about me posting a thread not really vibrant related.
So just thinking about processors (that may come come in the Nexus Prime), the two being rumored are Samsungs Exynos and the TI OMAP, from what i can tell.
How do these processors compare? In general the Exynos is generally regarded as better then the snapdragon (not trying to argue either way), but there are plenty of comparisons and topics on this comparison, but how does the Exynos compare to the OMAP? I can really find too many topics on it..
Thanks
Doesn't really matter how it compares right now, because Google can optimize ICS to run fast on Ti-OMAP 4460 while slow on other processors.
The same way when Froyo came out, the Snapdragon processors were able to gain a huge boost in CPU intensive tasks because they took full advantage of the Dalvik optimizations in Froyo. Hummingbird although newer than Snapdragon was not taking full advantage of Dalvik optimizations, thus it ran slower despite being a newer processor.
Nexus Prime running a Ti-Omap 4460 will be faster than any xynos because Google will make sure ICS is perfectly tuned to Ti-OMAP 4460.
Edit:
This is assuming nexus prime has a Ti-OMAP 4460.

thanks for the response. anyone else have any ideas on the two processors?
So, i watched the presentation last night, i did not see them announce the processor...
have any of the reviews confirmed which processor and GPU?
Its the omap 4460, TI made an announcement on it.Gpu wise its weaker than the exynos in the texture department as it has the sgx540. The biggest advantage it has over the NS or vibrant is the CPU and ram (hardware wise) benching the NS vs the Droid3 or Bionic shows the NS doing fairly close with the differences being probably due to the omap having a higher gpu clock and a processor that can feed the data to the gpu faster.
I can tell you that the chip has great performance, even at that higher resolution, I believe the blackberry playbook has it and that thing runs beautifully =D
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
everything i'm reading about the omap is saying it's built for better HD performance, however clocking, number crunching and GPU it's weaker then the exynos found in the sgs II. actually there comparing the gpu to the one found in our Vibrant.
as dismal as this sounds, i'm still going for the Galaxy Nexus due to the stock interface and HD resolution...
or i can wait longer (god knows how much longer) and grab the sgs II HD thats currently only in Korea.

qoutes from Extremetech website
"So now the OMAP4460 is getting quite a lot of scrutiny, even though it isn’t exactly a new chip. This dual-core SoC is clocked at 1.2GHz, and uses ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, just like the Exynos. That’s not a problem, but the older GPU, the PowerVR SGX540 is. We were hoping for a step up in the graphics department.
Why did Google choose the OMAP for its new Nexus? Well, it might not live up to the high graphical standards set out by the iPhone, but it is a solid chip in its own right. The OMAP4 platform makes use of an additional hardware accelerator called IVA 3 that makes encoding and decoding HD video a snap. The Galaxy Nexus has an HD screen, so this hardware focus on video is a big plus.
Google engineers were likely also drawn to the OMAP for its use of a dual-channel memory controller. Android’s multitasking system means that data is constantly being moved into, and out of, active memory. This is definitely a strength of TI’s OMAP parts"
hopefully that answers some of your questions.
Weak GPU, ****-tastic camera, no microSD slot, small battery, really high pricing (preliminary)...and once again plastic?
I don't get why Google felt they need to repeat the iPhone 4S announcement failure. The screen of the thing is amazing and its OS is. But the actual phone? Not so much.
:/
And I was so hyped about the "One phone to rule them all". . .

The phone is still worth getting. It will always have the latest version of Android, and Android will run smoothly on it.
I'm never repeating my Vibrant mistake ever again. Running CM-7 with half ass GPS and no 911 calling, no thanks. Next time a Nexus only phone. Just wish it wasn't made by stupid Samsung, errrrr.
Or maybe Motorola phone now that Google owns them, higher chance of getting updates. Just my opinion though.
One last thing. I do agree about the lack of microsd. I was shocked when Nexus S didn't get it, and now again. Hmmmmm. You would think they would want a dev phone to have a microsd slot.

Weak GPU? It is more than enough to drive a 720p screen at 60fps, as demonstrated consistently throughout the Galaxy Nexus hands-on videos.
How is the camera at all, as you so eloquently put it, '****-tastic'? From what I have seen (and trust me, it isn't nearly enough to make much of an impression to make a final call on its quality), the pictures look decent, with little chroma noise and balanced colours. The zero shutter-lag feature sounds most excellent as well, as most cellphone pictures turn out awful because of the nature of the beast (shaky hands and such). If your judgment is purely based on "Hurr because it's 5MP" then you are a moron.
Though I can lament the loss of a MicroSD card slot, most cards readily available to consumers (read: not newegg or amazon buyers) cannot even fathom being able to record 720p video, much less 1080p featured on the Galaxy Nexus. And using your smartphone as a primary MP3 player is only viable if you have no other use for the phone besides MP3 playing and occasional internet browsing, which would be just a flagrant waste of the ~$80 monthlies people pay for their plans.
And the 1,750mah battery is actually above-average (considering 1,450-1,500mah the standard), along with ICS' built-in 'app-freezing', carrier bloat will never be a cause for unnecessary battery drain again). The battery could last for days depending on your usage (Your mileage may ****ing vary, of course).
Really, high pricing? Really? If the previous two Nexus phones are any indication, it will cost $529 unlocked. Of course, it seems like a lot of money when you work retail or some other **** job, but then you shouldn't be playing with such expensive toys in the first place.
And plastic? Well this explains everything

Your post gave me cancer.
Camera---Look at the Nexus S photos at Engadget and the Galaxy Nexus ones. They look IDENTICAL except for colors on the GN looking a bit worse actually. Last I remember, the Nexus S camera is on the level of the Vibrant...it's great for a 5MP but its nothing compared to the competition nowdays. Not backlit sensor, not f2.2 or lower, not even high resolution. No shutter lag? I use Camera360 on my Vibrant and have had that feature for MONTHS. As Engadget comments, the no shutter lag is because the camera on the Galaxy Nexus does not focus. It is just NO competition to a Galaxy S2 or Iphone 4S sadly.
GPU-It is a 1.6 or 1.7 times faster than the Vibrant. We already have a good GPU but...for crying out loud. It is half as slow as the Galaxy S2 one. And THAT itself is already getting old...been on the market for over 6 months. Shall we compare to the new iPhone 4S? Difference of 7 TIMES? I HATE iphones but Samsung and Google seriously didn't try here.
Battery. I am CURRENTLY running a Samsung-made OEM 1800mah in my Vibrant. Same size as our original 1500mah. Should I remind you the Vibrant runs on a 4.0 screen and is NOT HD resolution? For a device that is as big as the Galaxy Nexus (4.6 inches) and with that huge and beautiful screen, 1750 is just TINY. At LEAST a good 2000 or more should have been put in it. And its' not impossible to do at all. Samsung HAS the technology. The phone HAS the space. It's fatter than the Galaxy S2 (and godforbid the new Razor)...doesn't have a MicroSD slot. There is no excuse except laziness.
Pricing---Several retailers in Europe have already priced it. Cheapest one is ~700...typical one is 800 and some go all the way up to 950. Look up the gsmarena.com article if you wish. Off contract it will be an arm and a leg. On contract it will be $300. That makes it the MOST expensive phone both on and off contract. $530? Yeah...maybe at that price it would be something to consider but 800? For an amazing screen and software? Heh.
Like I said, the real star of that presentation was the software. Ice Cream sandwich is amazing. GPU Acceleration anyone?
The phone though it comes on? A letdown sadly. Trust me, I was going to buy it. Was waiting for it for 3 months now. No more. May either get a Galaxy S2 now or wait for a Galaxy S2 HD for the Nexus HD screen and the Galaxy S2 performance and features.
In the OMAP 4460, the SGX540 is clocked at 384 MHz which gives it a total output of ~6.2 GFLOPs. In comparison, the Mali-400 MP4 clocked at 200 MHz produces about ~7.2 GFLOPs, and ~10.8 GFLOPs at 300 MHz. So yeah, it's a step back from the Exynos but still very good.
Everything yea saying don't matter its all about optimization an camera looks great to me

It's 1 GB.
My Tab 10.1 only shows 768 MB as well, but it's 1 GB. The Android System uses part of the RAM to operate. The rest you get as free RAM.
How do I know? Supercurio's Twitter.

Now. He further investigated and Samsung did the same thing they did with the Vibrant. All of the memory combined on it is indeed 1GB. HOWEVER, they are reserving a ****load of memory for the GPU and other functions. Hence of that 1GB (the phone DOES have 1GB), on average there is SIGNIFICANTLY less. How much less? Read the Twitter status posted here. This is the equivalent of the HTC Sensation which has 768MB of RAM and actually IS listed to have 768MB.

[Q] Honestly disadvantages about Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S???

hey everyone
any disadvantages about Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S ?!!
I am thinking about getting it so please HONESTLY any disadvantages in this device ​
First of all, post in questions in...

Only thing are the 512MB RAM that's a little bit bad.

arc/arc S single core phone
u should wait for new SE phone named nazomi/Lt26i--dual core.......
and the amount of ram available in arc is 512 Mb only whereas nazomi would be having 1gb ram.......so u will feel the diiference......
I don't care about Dual core much because Android is going to release ICS which is fully optimized for dual core. So it can wait until most the app developers compile their program optimized for dual core it like having a Super bike and you can't drive faster on roads. But as far as jpg compression is too high no way to reduce it (As far as I know). Then yes the RAM could have been 768 or 1 GB but 512 is low if you run lot of apps. Battery life could have been better. But compared to the advantages this phone offers you won't really realize the disadvantages.
Hope this helps!

i'm owning arc lt15i.
i think what really missing is front camera. not really necessory, but usefull when u need it (sometime skypeing with kids when away, force to use lappy)(ladies use it for mirror)
other than that, the body not so great. mine after few months the crome & paint chirped (yes, i hate wearing case to the arc sexy body)(& yes the body just painted plastic & plated chrome)
low/no internel memory sometimes annoyed, even with apps2sd, red level always make you sick. i know there is some solution, but some critical apps need to being in internel, for faster loading & avoid crash.
as sony, camera not really in good department, not optimize since iphone use same sensor type (yes iphone 5mp cam some better quality). not premium camera replacement. (but at least better than korean)
sound quality side, quite okay (better than korean, again). can satisfied normal user but not dedicated music player for audiophile.
other than cons, i can say it's okay, compare to korean. great call quality, great screen (but only when head on, narrow view).
should i suggest it? yes if you really get good deal (just take lt15 rather than lt18, more 400mhz not really good deal, if the price different too much)
other suggestion, consider premium htc phone. or if you don't mind smaller (but great) screen & love lots of apps rather than play with interface, just take original iphone 4 (new, used or 8gb). my wife use it & it's really great phone, over my arc in much side, of course not screen size. great camera, great ui fluid, great sound quality, great screen etc.

Sorry, but you can't just assume that because the Tegra 3 has more cores, it is faster. In most cases, the S4 > Tegra 3 CPU-wise, but the Tegra 3 > S4 GPU-wise.

S4 by far is a more efficient processor than Tegra 3
HTC One X has a higher resolution screen, which means it has a tougher job to do when pushing those extra polygons around and is probably why its scoring lower in terms of processing power, plus extra resolution of the One X makes it a slightly unfair to compare it with One S.
From what I've seen and read they are very comparable in terms of performance ..supposedly the s4 is a little more responsive in day to day operations like browsing etc..but the tegra has aa slight edge in gpu performance ..the krait is built on a smaller 28 NM tech. Which sounds good to me

The increase in resolution only taxes the GPU harder. The CPU in the One S still trounces the CPU in the Tegra 3, albeit not by much. In day to day usage, you won't notice the differences in speed.

Processor on the one x+

Will the tegra 3+ processor affect performance in any way? And what are its drawbacks as compared to snapdragon? Also does it have any advantages over the snapdragon?
Not really. The tegra 3 to be truthful is one of thebworst SOCs on the market. The krait s4/s4 pro both out perform it in every aspect. Be it standard voltage, dye leakage (smaller transistors 28nm, as opposed to t3's 40nm), performance at similar clock speeds (float point, multitasking, etc). I feel like nvidia really has no clue what theyre doing looking at the architecture for the tegra 3. TI's OMAP crushes the krait s4, and the exynos chipsets usually are on top of that. The only real drawback to having an exynos chipaet is the lack lf source documentation on sammys part which makes development difficult. But with all thats been going on regarding that it looks like thats about to change. Exynos with documentation is as good as it gets since youre getting a powerhouse CPU and GPu. The t3 has got an okay gpu at best. Sorry to burst your bubble :/ just stating facts

For me being USA ATT user would it then be best to choose the HTC ONE DLX instead of the ONE X+ due to the processors? Well neither are out yet so who knows if the US version processors will be any different. Just thinking with a 5" screen i'll need a back pack to carry it around, lol. Coming from an Iphone 4 3.5" screen to a possible X+ 4.7" screen is a huge jump in itself. Just can't stick with Apple after the huge let down of the Iphone 5 so making the switch as soon as these phones come out. New to all this stuff but had no idea Tegra 3 really that bad? Videos of the device look smooth and gameplay?
If you really wanna know about the power of the Tegra3, your gonna want to read these threads.

The first thread will be a general discussion on the international HOX and has a lot of information concerning the Tegra3. A lot of pages, over 930, but worth the time to read to understand the Tegra3 chip and what it is capable of as well as some info regarding the S4. The second thread has 60+ pages and is concerning gaming on the HOX. Well worth the time to read and see what all had to be done to get the full potential of the Tegra3. You also have to evaluate your choices this way. The Tegra3 is built with gaming in mind. The S4Pro is built with all around performance in mind.

Don't assume because they are similarly spec'd they will get the same performance from their quad cores...

Yeah, 28nm transistors on the lgog vs 40nm on the one x plus is a big deal. There are no 20nm chips in production, the closest is 22nm nand flash modules from Intel and Toshiba.

Yeah I was half asleep when I wrote that and had just been reading that story about Samsungs new 20 an 10nm ram chips But still 28nm should be allot more efficient than 40nm and the dual channel ram with double the amount is a huge difference in speed.
Its actually 22 vs 40. Overall the LGOG would seem like the superior phone in terms if gaming/media capability. But honestly your posting in an LG optimus g thread..everyone here pretty much picked this phone out of all the others. .going to be pretty one sided. Comes down to personal preference. Take a chance. Both phones are great and if you are un happy you always have the buyers remorse period.

No, its 28 vs 40. No mobile SoCs are currently 22nm.
Yeah, as a general rule if I say something regarding chip lithography you can take it as truth. I've been an integrated circuit nerd since third grade

Anyone have any insight between these two phones? They have the same size screen, both quad core.. Mainly what I'm mostly concerned about is media consumption. Which will give better audio performance?
Thx

I don't know about best performance, but I plan on picking up the LGOG today, despite the beauty of the One X+, mainly due to the larger storage capacity available through the microSD slot. The One X+ doesn't have one, and I already have a spare 64GB microSD, so that made the decision easy for me.
I picked mine up today. I've never seen a fast stock rom. This thing is nuts. I have one bright pixel so I'm going back to best buy to swap it out in the morning.
I was having this debate with myself just recently, until I unlocked the phone's bootloader with the "projectFreeGee" method and now I'm a happy LG owner again ! I can't wait for the custom ROMs, the One X+ is great right now, but with future Android updates in the upcoming two years , having 2 GB of RAM will become a must. This phone is future prof, plus it looks 10 times more elegant.

I was considering the one x+, but the snapdragon pro on the optimus g smokes the Tegra 3. If one x+ was running snapdragon, I would have bought it.

Can anyone throw some light on the battery consumption? I mean to compare the two phones, if they were running the exact same ROM.
I understand that the Optimus G CPU may have a better performance than the One X+. But which CPU is better in terms of battery consumption?

The snap Dragon is a much faster and more efficient cpu as well, it is like comparing an AMD to an Intel. This is the next level of tech, the next Tegra well probably be built on this architecture. Smaller lighter less heat produced and more energy efficient.
