hello
i will buy a new android phone and i don't now which phone i should buy it !
GS2
SAMOLED Plus have some bad colors ??
in the future GS2 will get htc Sense 3.0 rom ??
how much avilable of RAM in GS2 ?? i know GS2 have 1GB RAM but how much available for user after using phone like 10 hours ??
anything else ??
Stop filling up this forum with the same old boring question!
Your in a GS2 forum, of course people are gonna say gs2
Spec wise S2 is better, and general internet reviews suggest it's also the better phone, however there's enough opinions in this and the Sensation's forums to know the pros and cons of each to make up your mind.
i also put a topic on sensation forum
The sensation sucks in comparision,
16gb of space, and the sensation only has about 1gb.
Also, the GS2 screen is simply awesome in comparision to the higher resolution qhd screen. Whilst text will look a 'little bit crisper' - the colours are ****e, and the whole screen has a 'washed out' look.
GS2 has higher HSPDA speeds, has a media player that can actually skip through tracks and a larger battery too.
GS2 is very light and ultra thin, whereas the sensation is built with plastic AND metal - so is thicker and heavier (personal choice)

After owning a htc hd2 and now the gs2 for w months i will say, the build quality of the gs2 is rubbish, gaps near the charging port lets dust in and speaker grill, also the phone for me is to light and tends to want to slip out when using it one handed. Also my device has the os battery bug for some time, it comes and goes randomly.
Sorry to be negative but its better to know the fauilts then to just hear this is the best phone and i love it.
So personaly id go for the sensation and wish i did. Just my opinion

I own both the Sensation and SGS2, and to put it bluntly, the Sensation is awful compared to the SGS2. I really tried to like the Sensation but it's just a poorly put together device. The Sensation does feel a bit more high quality but really what does that matter when the device your holding is a 2nd rate device. The SGS2 is not without it's flaws but at the moment, bar none, it's the best Android device on the market if not the best device period. You will not regret getting the SGS2 the same cannot be said of the Sensation
Ok. Both got 1,2Ghz Dual-core CPU.
Let's see...
Galaxy S 2 scored about 3500 in Quadrant. I know, it's not a big deal, but Sensation scores about 1200?
Well... the difference is.. 2300... That's a lot man.
Plus, the Galaxy S 2, has better CPU. AS for the GPU, I think the Sensation beats it(Adreno 220(Sensation) vs Mali400(S 2))
Ok, the sensation has a qHD resolution, but d'oh. You prefer the qHD res over the super duper amazing extra dynamic colors of the Super Amoled Plus?
I was between those two. Oh, and the S 2 has 250+ more RAM.
And I chose the Galaxy S 2. It's perfect, slim, awesome. ~~

Have you owned the Sensation because the bugs you reference are minor in comparison to what you have on the Sensation.

The SAMOLED plus is fantastic IMO, I prefer it over the Sensation screen.
Developers are working on Sense 3.0 port for SGS2
Current RAM on my SGS2 = 545MB
Current RAM on my Sensation = 252MB

And lets not forget the Sensation lags like crazy. My Nexus S was faster than the Sensation
Galaxy S2 wins on:
Screen Quality (SA+ makes the higher resolution QHD screen look washed out)
Ram: 1GB vs 768mb
Storage: 16gb vs 1gb
Battery: 1650 vs 1540 - Not only does the GS2 include a larger battery, but the super amoled+ screen uses less power than the QHD screen.
HSPDA Speeds: 20.1mbps vs 14.4mbps ( i think )
GS2 wins on Video formats too, the inclusion of divx playback is fantastic.
Front facing camera on the GS2 is better.
Less lag: the sensation just does not operate as fast as the GS2, for what reason - i just dont know.
Quadrant: 3600 vs 1300 (big difference)
Camera: both phones offer 8mp, however the GS2 has a faster shutter speed, smoother action and more camera features. (both offer 1080p recording)
Call quality: both have dual microphones, but the sensation has extremely poor noise cancellation - hence the GS2 win.
Thiness/weight: GS2 is super thin and super light - no contest.
-----
Sensation wins on:
Build quality: plastic and metal is obviously a higher build quality than plastic.
..... Thats it.
Some ppl prefer HTC sense, but since using TW4 - it runs flawlessly for me (unlike TW3) - user preferance.
Not sure if ive missed anything, but sure others will chip in too
(it would be better to compare the sensation to the galaxy+ rather than GS2 - yet i feel, the sensation would still lose on many points from above)

The Sensation's time has come and gone. The Ruby and Holiday already far exceed its specs. Hell, even the E3D has more RAM. The Sensation was evolutionary for HTC while the SGS2 was revolutionary for Samsung. Not that the SGS2 isn't going to be superseded too, but not as dramatically and not as quickly.
HTC is very known for poor audio. Sensation has a very tiny sounding speaker just like the rest of them.
I hate when people are negative about sgs2 build quality. Ive had mine since launch and dropped it over 20 times now and besides a scuff on the bezel the rest of the phone is in great/perfect shape. I will never understand that people complain aobut how light it is when Samsung intended to make it as thin as possible. Any case fixes that issue also.
The Sensation gets dust under screen within a few days. Has the death grip(I think all phones have this) and have touch screen issues and horrible in direct sunlight.
If your getting the unlocked international sgs2, youll know that Samsung is updating the device like crazy. CM7 crew is supporting the device also.
If you happen to not like the sgs2 for any reason, and would rather go for a HTC device. I would advise you to wait until there next big device comes.
Well I had Galaxy S2 and at the moment have a sensation. While I had s2 I had 2 issues. Yellowish left side screen only noticeable até gray background and pink spot on photos and i replaced the unit, got rid of yellowish and almost gone pink spot but then had hd video recording frame rate drop at low light conditions... Well i thought, I payed 500 euro for this? So traded with sensation and this is the real thing that happened, even with the new 2.3.4 super fast ROM it doesn't compare with the speed of s2 but ok, is fast enough... Had touch screen issues already not responding to my command and having force closes with everyday apps and even now phone reboots itself when trying to play a game... Also phone calls sound thin and low volume, having a little distortion, audio recording also too thin. Already asked for a replace going back to S2 and pink spot and video problems since the rest just feels quick and perfect...
BUT I love sense, if anyone depends on it, don't go wrong, sensation and sense 3.0 is just so easy and complete, beautiful and with new update 2.3.4 no lag at all! I hope I had HTC build, responsiveness and speed of Samsung and sense... About the screen at the beginning I thought samoled+ was way better but now I think is a matter of taste and what we get used to...
Hope it helps

Isn't galaxy plastic shell over metal body? I remember seeing the tear down showing metal skeletal structure
The only thing I noticed that grabbed my attention when testing out the sgs2 and sensation was it's weather animations and nice funky if a little busy lockscreen, other than that the sgs2 screen simply blows the slightly unnoticeable higher res screen that is ever so washed out, the sgs2 is noticeably faster to use, not entirely convinced by all the sense clutter myself but that's a personal opinion, the physical weight of the sgs2 is so much lighter in the hand pure bliss to hold up and read books while lying in bed arms never get tired, playing dungeon hunter 2 on the sgs2 is eyepopping joy compared to the drab looking dungeon world on the sensation, build quality of the sgs2 is always knocked, in my opinion how they plastic engineered so much ram, memory and CPU with such a large battery and screen into such a light package is astounding, being an ex plastic design engineer I guess I get excited about such twaddle, there you go my real world non spec view on the situation, just buy the sgs2

It's true, no one does Weather better than HTC. As a matter of fact, no one comes close. If HTC sold their weather app on the market Beautiful Widgets would have to file for bankruptcy. The other area HTC does a good job on is their keyboard. The HTC IME is fantastic and their auto-correct function is as good if not better than the iPoo

Thinking about making the switch. If I switch I was looking for a phone that would be better than the iPhone retina display as well as have a better camera. The Xperia S is probably the only android that beats the iPhone in these areas. Looking for some experiences from anyone who switched.

Tough call, iphone has far more accessories and add ons.
The S camera still struggles a bit in low light, colours have a blueish blotchy look in low light, where the iphone gets a high level of grain but colour stays accurate.
For Camera speed and flexibility the S wins hands down.
And for Display the S is a little better than the iphone, nice and crisp with good contrast and sharpness. Best display I have seen.
Coming from iOS to Android or vice versa is something by itself to be discussed since they are two different animals.
Xperia S has a bigger screen. Good resolution and very crisp.
I think Xperia S has a better Design, even tho I like iPhone 4S.
I like camera on Xperia S more, I took some photos with my wife's 4S and compared them and to my eyes, Xperia S had better coloring.
But I can't get my wife to switch since she likes her iPhone very much and I can experience the two worlds at once.
I've just sold my factory unlocked iphone 4s white today and I am waitting for my Xperia S to be delivered tomorrow. I love the Xperia S design and the 12mpx camera, bigger screen and NFC.
Had a iPhone 4 before so I can't compare camera but regarding the screen I would say nothing really separate them quality wise but I do enjoy the much bigger one on my Sony.

It's a bit odd that the Sony camera used in the iPhone4s may be better than the Sony camera in a Sony phone.
4 weeks ago they stole my Iphone 4s and i bought this phone. Something else.
I can say that i miss the smoothness and the build quality of ios. Also the quality apps.. I miss it on the android.

My experience with the camera is quite opposite.. The Xperia S beats the Iphone 4S camera in any way.. Tested vs. 4S in low light environment and the iphone 4S had a really dark picture with no detail and the pics looked much brighter and crisper on my phone. Think screens a relatively comparable. Ie. the screen on Iphone 4s is very good, but still think colors a slightly better on XS.
Also love the dialer app.. Very well done..
Wife has already got iphone 4, which I sometimes use too so I didn't go for iphone 4s - plus the cost of the handset. The single most annoying thing about the Sony S is the battery power! How did they get 420 hours for 3g? According to gsmarena.com btw. Although I play with the phone a little too much, even if I put it aside, I don't think it would last more than two days unless I left it on flight mode! Only lost 2% battery life overnight in flight mode, where it would have probably been at least 15% normally!
Overall good, hoping for ICS to improve things further.
I have a 4s as well as my Xperia - plan on keeping both as I can never decide conclusively on ios or Android
There are times the Xperia wins for me - screen real estate for media etc, wide screen resolution in camera and times when the iPhone suits me more due to its compact size. I've found the camera on the Xperia to have a slight edge to my eyes so it's the phone of choice on my family day out
Sound quality is pretty close through headphones - I'd say with my Soundmagic E10s the Xperia might edge it for me although the iPhone seems able to drive the phones louder.
Overall though the Xperia is probably my favourite Droid so far if you're a fan of the OS you won't be disappointed.

I sold iphone 4S and I have now the Xperia S.....it's amazing to see that the market offer a lot of better phones than iphone. Xperia S it's better in everythig: camera is better, screen is the best possible at the moment and much better than iphone 4s screen, videos are better, battery is better, hardware is better!

In my experience, the iphone 4s has more comprehensive apps however the file management system sucks, so does itunes so if you have a lot of documents or folders android is better.
The xperia s screen is better but has worse viewing angles, also after the recent firmware update my 4s battery life has at the very least doubled making it last longer than the xperia s although I'm not sure how much longer yet.
The camera of the iphone 4s is better with a lot less noise and doesn't ever crash whereas the xperia s requires better light conditions however sometimes it produces a more vibrant colour. Video I haven't tested much but the iphone 4s video is amazing whereas the xperia s is decent in terms of frame rate and some slight image stabilisation problems.
For photo and video editing apps in particular, or if you want to be able to find 3d games for example the iphone 4s is better right now. Iphoto and imovie surpass anything I've seen on google play and some 3d games haven't been updated for newer android phones so you may not be able to find games even if they're on the store. I used microsoft photosyth on the iphone 4s but it's not available on android so annoying, but all my core needs are satisfied.
The xperia s plays flash, if the flash it's playing is optimised for mobile you can even play it in full screen 1080p on a tv via HDMI however if it's not optimised standard flash video will be a bit slow.
Any other questions just ask.

+1 for this.
I would say the cameras are a wash, pretty much the same overall. (edge to Xperia in some areas and iphone in others)
I really miss the quality/quantity of the ios apps. But I found I was getting app burnout. D/L too many redundant apps. etc.
With my use I would say the battery life is pretty much the same too.
Honestly, big reasons for swapping to the Xperia for me
iphone =
cramped screen for video and games
4:3 (seriously apple)
itunes to add anything is a PITA (ie, I want to add one video to watch and I am leaving for work in 5 min)
Needing to open an app to view anything (widgets anyone)
Eventhough this video is in 720p but still the focus and the clarity is just amazingg... This time Sony came with something very innovative and creative...
I just love the cameraa... Hats off to Sony..

Yep indeed
Any tips how to get decent low light camera shoots. Every camera shoot I take it becomes blurry.
Turn image stabiliser on and in low light use one of the night modes. Only disadvantage is you can take steady pictures (nobody moves and you don't move camera). But people have to bear in mind, it is camera phone, not proper digital camera, where you have 10 other options to use, like shutter timing.

agree, that's why I chosen to bought XPS. xD
Camera is good no doubt but coming from xperia Arc , I expected more. Image quality is nearly identical to Arc and looses up against '8MP' Iphone 4S camera in terms of sharpness and colours from the pics I saw over the internet. I do not understand why are they not proving Xenon flash. It would have made camera even more useful. Somehow I feel Sony is not trying its best. Potential is there to make a perfect phone but Sony fails to deliver the killing punch. And this is coming from Sony lover

Hi, first of all I've to say sorry because my English is very poor
Since april I've had a simfree Xperia S, with bootloader unlock allowed (I haven't done it yet, including root or any mod)
There are two things that I don't like from the XPS:
-ICS is very laggy
-The battery isn't removable.
I usually stay away from my house the entire day, and I like watching films or series in the phone, so by the end of the day I always run out of battery and I need to carry with a USB portable battery and keep it connected for hours to recharge the phone.
With the galaxy nexus, I can buy the extended battery and carry with the stock one so when the extended is empty I can swap the batteries and begin at 100% again
The other thing I like from the Galaxy Nexus is the amoled screen, because of the better viewing angles than XPS and the bigger size when playing video
The two things I don't like from the Galaxy are the too low 16gb of storage and the GPS (I don't know if it is bad, but sure it isn't as good as the XPS)
And at the other hand, Nexus will be always up to dated with android version, and we don't know if XPS will be updated to 4.1
If you want a Nexus, wait for the new one(s) released this fall.

I don't have to pay anything for trading my xperia s with a galaxy nexus.
Use a different launcher and the battery is removable if you really need to remove or replace it.
But not for regular use as anthon needs !

There is likely to be a series of Nexii, so you should be able to find something that suits you.
Please take note that galaxy nexus has on screen time of about 3hour plus only, while Xperia has higher on screen time.
Charging portable battery is easier than charging additional battery?
Xperia has a better rear camera while nexus has better front camera. Lol
Both phone are using outdated hardware, does it even matters?
At least in my country, Singapore, xperia s is certified for nfc payment while nexus isn't. (only xperia s, p, s3 and Samsung advance plus)

The screen on the Galaxy Nexus is not that great. Sure you get better viewing angles but lower ppi, crappy whites, pentile, and image ghosting. I bought both phones and ended up sending the Nexus back. I just can't stand Samsung.

Pentile sucks man, I am sorry. My buddy has a Nexus and compared to my Xperia S the screen is not nearly as clear. Viewing the web on the Nexus is not very good as text isn't crisp unless zoomed in.
Also battery isn't that great on the Nexus either, if you view alot of internet it will drain much faster than the Xperia S.
I thought the same thing when coming from a galaxy nexus. Now that I'm running CM9 FXP132 I live this phone! Performance is incredible and my battery life doubled!

Keep the Xperia S
First of all....the XS display is absolutely brilliant...even better than S3 display.Look at the 2 screens in the same time and you will notice the difference.Xperia S display colors are more real and the black is really really black.And is also the ppi intensity.Is better on Xperia S!The CPU on Nexus is significantly poorly than Xperia`s S!Even overclocked the score at megaflops doesn`t equal the score obtained by Xperia S CPU.And we have for the Xperia S a kernel oc-ed to 1,9Mhz!The camera on Xperia S makes perfect pictures!12 mpx > 5 mpx on Nexus.I don`t know about the GPU`s on both of the devices but the games on xperia s runs very well.The only advantage on Nexus is the removable battery and better technical support!overall except the lack of technical support the Xperia S is a better(technical and look)phone!
You're asking this in an Xperia forum lol bias is everywhere. Each device has its pros and cons. Personally if I had the option, I'd go for the Nexus, but if you can hold off until later this year as K900 said, you'll be in for a big improvement.
GN vs XS on xperia forum doesn't mean bias, if you got no comparison, GN is brilliant, i came from GN (now my GF is using it), switched to XS.
i had no complaint about GN before switch, i got lots of complaint after making the switch for both.
XS = laggy UI, laggy UI and laggy UI, man the spec is better but why laggy?
GN = wow the screen sucks big time, colour, sharpness (not due to ppi but pentile) and burning (ghost and shadow and stupid burn and much more)
if you use it everyday, the screen is where you are looking at everyday when using the phone. although XS LCD is a tad old fashion (why not IPS like iphone), switch from XS to GN will be your biggest mistake. if you are coming to a decision which phone you should buy then it depends
(smoothness and update = GN , design, camera and screen = XS)

If you're not satisfied with the phone you have now, then let it go. Questioning whether to replace it or not will just make u see more and more bad things about it. So why keeping it? And chances are, you will not be satisfied with Nexus either. You see people here are the kind to get any phone they want, stick to it and make the most of it.
You must remember, Reality Display color is more natural than Super Amoled (overcolour)
if you are to replace your sxs, do it with a newer gen s4 processor. otherwise, you wouldn't feel much difference.

Hey guys I'm in need of an upgrade and I think the HTC One is the answer!
I was wondering if you could please give me feedback on your experience so far.
All I know about the cons like
Can't change battery
No SD card...
So how is the battery life etc??
Thanks

Battery life is very good, I get about 18-20 hours with average use and about 10-12 hours with heavy use (compare this to my previous Nexus 4 & Galaxy S3 and you're talking about somewhere in the range of 30% better battery life with the One). With light usage I've easily seen 24-26+ hours before charging. To sum it up, I charge my phone once a day on average (unplug at 6:00am and plug in around 11:00pm with 20-30% battery remaining).
Sense 5 is a refreshing change from TouchWiz, IMO I prefer it even over stock Android. Simple, easy to use, fast, functional. Blinkfeed is a innovative change from having to use several widgets for a fraction of the same information. Imagine a Flipboard-like home screen.
Phone is fast, I mean no lag - whatsoever. I run some pretty intensive Live Wallpapers and it never affects the speed of the phone. Call reception is great, sound is incredible (you can't find better sound in a mobile device, period). Screen is stunning. Crisp, accurate colors and sharp text at any size. 100% hands down the best phone I've ever had. IMO the best phone available, period.

i ended up swapping mine for a galaxy s4... the one had minor build quality issues (glass not flush with body, purple tinge in camera, poor camera performance in good lighting, faulty proximity sensor)
while the s4 is indeed made of "cheap plastic", it is well built and had no issues... all the edges are flush with no creaks... the battery life and performance was also slightly better (with google edition rom) and i certainly welcome the additions of microSD slot, removable battery, and wireless charging. the thing i miss most about the one is the speaker, honestly the best speakers i have heard on a cellphone and rivals the quality of many mid range bluetooth speakers

Comparisons aren't allowed, it'll just get the thread closed.

HTC One, hands down.

Between those two go with the One. Between the N5 and One I'd go with an N5... unless LG finds a way to hobble it
