  • hey guys today i was thinking about Sensation? totally whats your Idea? is someone give me clear reason to buy it?

  • Someone told me the HTC machines are flawed because they'll start *lagging* during normal day operations once you start installing quite a bit of applications on the machine. HTC has major noticeable lagging issues with previous models, not sure if the problem has been fixed in this new model.

  • I have the Sensation and I can tell you it was a disappointment.

  • From this video: The screen display quality looks WAY SUPERIOR on the samsung galaxy s2 , the outputs are sharper in contrasts and the colors and brighter, the htc looks real dull with the display color.

  • Both have problems. The SGS2 has battery and signal issues and the HTC has signal issues. Xperia Arc S much better

  • jule core

  • I owned a sensation and a galaxy s. The galaxy s does have higher saturation but it still has a lower pixel count which means text or images wont appear as sharp as the senstaion. Also the build of the galaxy s feels very cheap flimsy whereas the htc sensation feels like a very sturdy phone.

  • I got the sgs2 there is nothing better than this..except the nexus and the note lol

  • does it slow down the htc sensation when the sd card is almost full? because mine is slow and laggy as fuck...

  • As much as Samsung wins for having things like good benchmarks and "better" (I dont prefer it) screens, I definitely prefer HTC's overlay of Android, which is definitely the most important. I find it much more functional.

  • love my sg2 :)

  • HTC IS THE BEST PHONE !!!

  • Sgs2 wins but im getting the sensations because the sgs2 is always sold out fuck

  • @nastybasty931 it has a lower resolution screen

  • s2

  • Samsung Galaxy S2 Wins The Best Smartphone Of Year 2012 Award At MWC

    sensation isnt even best phone from HTC.

  • gs2 wins in everyway.. it is world wide known as the best android phone so far

  • @cjswnsdl ahaha ... youre just jealous because you didnt buy an htc sensation ... i hate this plastic corea crap and sgs2 feels like an 100€ phone ...

    thumbs up for HTC <3

  • i rather have gs2. Both are fast and responisive i wont deny that. Its just that the sensation has a short battery and an lcd screen. superalmod>>>>>>LCD by far. I hate the greyish tone in an lcd screen. 1650(gs2)>1520mah(sensation). Also, i will buy a case anyways so really the plastic won't bother me much.

    my 2 cents

  • I like the display on the sensation better than on the amaze. It's more vivid and colorful.

  • I Love My Samsung Galaxy s2 (White).

  • t-moblie has a 1.5 GHz in the GS2 -.-

  • iphone

  • which one shall i get ?

  • iphone@crazyfootballhamodii

  • I went ahead an bought a desire s instead. 4.3 " is just to big for me. (That's what she said, I know lol) while 3.7 is just perfect. I would really love to have a desire s with a dual-core though.

  • i  have both, but i like HTC alwyas..

  • Sensation is getting iCal update by March ending according to htc

  • What else can I say, so proud of sensation 4g, htc makes phones and tablet not fridges, tv, washer, iron, and so on. They are just on point with sensation

  • Gs2 has echo issue had three replacements rubbish

  • i love my htc sensation

  • @dannymexwonder Me too it is an artistic design and a phone worth salute. Even S2 is thinner it's design and back panel suck

  • @barandeepsingh yea i broke my first htc had the chance to get the gx2 but i was like no htc is just the perfect size and does the same thing

  • HTC sensation can be clocked to 1.8Ghz with its mighty Dual Core CPU, correct if the Galaxy S2 can do that too.

  • @poopoo563 The Sensation's dual core is based on Cortex A8 while Galaxy S2's dual core is based on Cortex A9.

    Yes the SGS2 can out perform the sensation at a much lower clock speed

  • HOW DO YOU SET THE LOCKSCREEN AT THE SAMSUNG GALAXY II ?????

  • Samsung Galaxy s2 RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Ludijahja One, more exclamation points don't win an argument of personal opinion. Two, it's ugly as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! <See? Too sharp.

  • @DannyBoy443

    Maybe your personal opinion but I like S2 more so.....let's just agree to disagree. Ok :)

  • @thechrisjam20 for the best experience get the iphone

  • Why the fuck you are talking about the viewing angles? Its a phone not a TV, and who wants the guy standing next to you to know what you are doing on your phone? STUPID

  • @Mushfiquemosha Hmmm, maybe the guy standing next to you who you are trying to show something on your phone? Just a logical thought.

  • @Mushfiquemosha Since you don't care about screen quality, send me your phone and I'll send you a light bright that makes calls.

  • @Mushfiquemosha IT also shows the quality of the screen used.

  • Comment removed

  • PEOPLE, HTC IS 1000000 TIMES BETTER THAN ANY SAMSUNG, WHAT MAKES GALAXY FINE IS GOOGLE, BUT AS A PHONE QUALITY HTC IS MUCH BETTER, SAMSUNG IS JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC WHICH FEELS WEIRD ON YOUR HAND, LIGHTER PHONE DOESN'T MEAN BETTER, GOOD PHONES HAVE NORMAL WEIGHT AND HTC LOOKS MUCH BETTER WITH SMOOTH EDGES AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU DON'T SEE "SAMSUNG" WRITTEN ON YOUR PHONE, I HATE IT AS MUCH AS I HATE HYUNDAI CARS :) MORE OPTIONS BUT POOR QUALITY...THE BEST ANDROID PHONE IS SONY XPERIA S!

  • @FUCKhayastan LOL what a retard...

  • if the htc had that galaxy quality screen it would be the ultimate phone.

  • the galaxy s 2

  • ugghhh why are they SOOO HUGE?

  • @ArabelaBG Because people have decent hands, you?

  • I think the galaxy s 2 is by far a superior phone. The amoled screen makes everything look so much better, while the lcd screen looks greyish. The processor in the S2 is way faster then the sensation even faster then the 1.5 ghz version. Its faster in games. Its going to get an upgrade to ICS which is going to make it even faster. Both touchwiz and sense are terrible launchers, get a custom one. I have a few friends with HTC smartphones, but they would rather have a samsung galaxy s or s2.

  • Samsung Galaxy SII is really fast and has a good screen. but a shitty interface.

    HTC is fast too, and got a good screen, and it has HTC Sense, wich i think its better than touchwiz

  • The sensation does not have 1GB of RAM,

  • Is the quick settings panel in the notification panel a part of Gingerbread or just in HTC phones?

  • @izamanaick Just HTC.

  • Is it just me or does the HTC react slower to finger movement?

  • Galaxy s2....is amazing!

  • i brought this HTC sensation XE last December 2011 my big problem is that the unit always go on hang 2 to 3 a day, i didn't store anything except for 3 games, and during wifi the back portion heated too much...camera looks oversaturated eventhough i store image coming from my DSLR, video using 1080p is far more better in SG2...so i decide to let go this HTC and brought SG2...problem in SG2 is texting buttom...less responsive

  • @MrStifstof haha, i can show you a lot websites witch compare the phones and every time the gs2 wins. gs2 have a better gpu an a newer cpu(cortex a9/ htc just cortex a8). If you dont belive try to google it or leave a message and i show you the sites i mean

  • HTC rocks. Fuck ya haters.

  • My misses has the sensation XL, i have the galaxy s2, i perfer the galaxy, heaps faster & smoother, but i do like sense more as an os.

  • Galaxy S 2 is better

  • Looks like Samsungs display is way better than the HTC. I currently have an iphone and don't upgrade my phones often. But for my next phone I would like a slimmer version of a Galaxy S2 with good battery life. My only complaint about most smart phones is that they tend to be too bulky for my liking.

  • samsung rules! HTC would never beat the s2( even in 1000years). Samsung got better cpu and much faster gpu and the best smartphone displays in the moment. HTC sucks

  • @damianw94 They already did. The Sensation XE

  • Quadrant Benchmark doesn't support Dual-Core processing dude, FAIL!

  • I have the htc sensation .I will buy the samsung galaxy s2 white .the amoled screen Is easy to read for my old eyes .and the htc is to my wife now .maybe I will keep the two phone for me ? Hmmmm

  • Both great phones. I have the sensation, but the GS2 is an excellent device. Thought I must say the interface on the HTC far surpasses the touchwiz in the GS2

  • I like the sgs2's screen better, because black is on the super amoled plus screen really intense black, and on the HTC it's like dark grey or something

  • Im really getting annoyed with this pointless "this phone is 0.22222222mm smaller yadda yadda" bollox, that really has no bearing on phone performance and or also personal taste,well not to rant on about.

  • damn cant decide between both! but i think s2 is the right one, yes?

  • the galaxy s2 would be so nice if it would be made of so bad materials. i love its display, better than any htc displays...

  • plastic... eww

  • S2 screen better than that of sensation

    s2's ram more than that of sensation

    s2 overall performance better than that of sensation

    s2 has 16 gb built in memory while sensation has 1/16th of it

    the only point where sensation crosses s2 is it's resolution...........overall:

    s2 rocks----sensation sucks!

  • @groendjango is may be bigger but in my opinion its not better because I wanted to use it as a phone but also replace my iPod so for me it was a better choice :P

  • i have the htc Its Very good

  • The sensation only has 768 mbits of ram

  • I have HTC sensation xe and its simply amazing , best phone available to date :)

  • @MrGriffoboy the samsung galaxy note is the best and the biggest

  • @groendjango

    being big isn't a positive thing for a lot of people

  • Yeah, but that's not a hardware limitation. If you move to a custom ROM/kernel and overclock to 1.5 (which is actually what the processor manufacturer recommended to HTC), you will not see any difference whatsoever in the 2 phones performance-wise. Both exceed the specs for any application currently on the market.

  • @twistedcross Why don't you just do that on the Galaxy S2 (to 1.5ghz) then see it beating the HTC... Again.

  • @DroidKickz Because the S2 doesn't come from the factory with faulty Wifi software. You can't fix something that's not broken to improve speed. Yeah, you can overclock the S2, but you'd exceed manufacturer specs and decrease device life. It doesn't matter if you theoretically overclock these phones to 10ghz and add 20 cores, neither lags when functioning properly. I guess you could run around showing all the chicks your benchmark. Let me know how that goes and I might go buy one.

  • I LOVE htc ! i dont know the reason ... the hardware and software rock !

  • I have had both of these phones and the Galaxy S 2 is a far superior handset.

  • I had the galaxy s. And now i have the sensation, in my personal opinion both phones are great but HTC is like a bit more better than the galaxy s

    battery life SUCKS in both phones too you need to have always an extra.battery if u use ur.phone a lot.. HTC sensation guys

  • should i get the sensation xe?? one time charge here is 338bucks + monthly 43bucks that includes 12gb dataplan

    :\ its a huge amount for me right now, idk what to do

  • GET THE HTC SENSATIONNN

  • If you want any of these phones visit our web site at spirit mobiles limited .com. Great offers and free gifts

  • Quadrant always cracks me up. Ever notice the "faster" phone always takes longer to finish the test? Real-world speed test. Open a game and play it. See any difference? Ok, now go buy the HTC.

  • @twistedcross absolutely agree. I noticed that too. The Sensation finished it quite a bit quicker. I don't know why it has lower score??

  • @twistedcross great comment! very well put :)

  • @twistedcross oh cmon. u have to admit that games like Shadowgun or Eternal legacy ARE running MUCH better than on sensation. I have both phones and yeah on HTC those simply slow down in some moments. 

  • @twistedcross NO, I prefer S2 :) Both are good phones.

  • @twistedcross I actually had the chance to either buy a Samsung Galaxy SII or an HTC Sensation.

    But thankfully i am a very wise smart man, so it's natural for me to get the HTC Sensation OVER the Samsung Galaxy SII.

    Damn i'm awesome.

  • @q8sauod I had the same choice and bought sensation. Galaxy s2 is no match for htc sensation, I have held both the phones and I feel proud of my decision.

  • @barandeepsingh Good choice, my friend.

  • @ AmaninaRohizad84 get s2....the camera and display plus the betr battery

  • i'm confused. i'm getting a Galaxy S II at first.. but then i found out about HTC Sensation which i think might be better... but still, there are people saying that HTC is crap. so can anyone help me with this?? which one is better? which one should i get??

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 Personally I like samsung's UI better, butthe Sensation is as good phone as the S2. It is your choice.

  • @groberti i've decided. just ordered my Sensation with beats audio. S2 seems quite fragile for me. =)

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 : I am thinking of buying the same. I will be more happy to know your reviews on that.

  • @master22788 i had Sensation for 5 days.so far,i'm satisfied.my only problem is the battery life.i need to charge the phone every night. but i guess all smart phones are like that. and that's also because i'm over excited about having a new phone (can't resist the urge to use the phone). when i first got the phone,i downloaded drums app. but the respond is bad.i blamed the phone.but then i downloaded another drums app and it works fine.guess the phone is all right. ok, now go buy the HTC ^_^

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 get the HTC Sensation, and get the XE model if you can. There are so many custom roms out there for this handset, the sound quality is amazing, the camera is really good, and it has a better screen resolution...

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 The Galaxy S2 is better: Faster processor (Exynos) Better Camera Samsung don't bring out a new flagship every other month Better display Super-light Bigger online development community Amazingly light (good thing) Still widely regarded as the best phone Better quality microphones (for calls) Better battery life Extra storage But if you're willing to spend a bit more or wait longer there's a whole load of 2012 beasts coming out soon...
  • @DroidKickz Quite wrong, mate..... Equal processors, the Sensation has the same camera, but 2 LED flashes instead of 1 on the GS2. The speed of apps is the same, and on both phones there is pretty much no lag at all. The call quality on the Sensation is a lot better, and sometimes, when you're talking with a GS2 owner on the phone, the GS2's microphone catches its speaker, and the person on the other side hears his own voice. Not to mention the Sense UI pwning TouchWiz, and so on...

  • @AirborneB6 SGSII on this video is first version of SGSII so its not equal processor. it has 1.2ghz exynos 4410 which is better than 1.5ghz snapdragon S3.

    echo problem can be easily fixed by turning off noise reduction on first version.

    anyway SGS2 has more memory (1gb vs 768mb) more storage (16/32gb vs 1gb), better cpu (exynos>snapdragon), gpu(mali440>adreno220), memory(1gb dual channel > 768mb single channel), better display (Samoled plus > s-lcd)

  • @jamisont1 Well said mate, I was gonna say that but it turned out you beat me to it!

  • @jamisont1 The Sensation has normal noise reduction, the GS2 has not (at least not a good one). Also, the interface. Compared to the 3D graphics, the qHD resolution, the awesome HTC Sense interface and everything HTC has improved with their phones, the GS2 with its 2D, non-optimized TouchWiz interface and the lower-resolution display, the GS2 loses this category. Build quality:Sensation-nice metal back, which fully protects the display with the curves. GS2: Cheapish plastic.Nuff said

  • @AirborneB6 u need noise reduction for google talk, otherwise it doesnt work that well. so all recent smartphones in 2011 with google talk has noise reduction.

    about UI. if u ask my opinion, they both sux but touchwiz is easier to get rid of, and sense is more intergrated in the OS and it causes more lag.

    about display, samsung provide display for both device. samoled and s-lcd. dont even try to claim s-lcd is better. but if higher resolution is important to you, there's SGS2 HD LTE version.

  • @jamisont1 Why would you get rid of an OS, around which the whole phone was built, and which is the most optimised for the phone? :) I have both phones (I have the Sensation, my dad has the GS2) for comparison, and I chose HTC for a reason. I admit, the GS2 is a bit smoother, but doesn't have the Sense interface, which... makes sense :D Despite the a little bit worse specs, the Sensation has absolutely the same app launch speed and everything. And as I said, I can compare them IRL...

  • @DroidKickz The galaxy s2, the sensation and the iPhone 4S are all built on the Cortex A9. HTC just has different versions of the sensation not different flagships (there are at least 3 versions of the sgs 2). Battery life is very debatable, to the point of what colour your status bar is and the camera is the same. Long story short, you're an idiot. (I sport a Samsung phone before you call me a fanboy)

  • @asillynoob I appreciate your opinion but:

    Exynos is superior to Snapdragon/Qualcomm, the GS2 variations are only in America; I live in the UK so that doesn't count for me, battery life IS better on the GS2 unless you get your own bigger battery, camera has the same specs but the GS2 has more realistic colours and a smoother recording and the best part of Android is the development community, in my opinion, and the GS2 happens to have the biggest one in the world. :)

  • @DroidKickz Not all the gs II has exynos processors but i do agree with most of what you saying

  • @DroidKickz the galxy is good but its not the best.. and you know what im saying...

  • @DroidKickz i dont think the galaxy s2 has a better camera

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 The galaxy S2 is for reall hard work, It combines top specs all together . I already have it and my brother have the Sensation, We both use the phone 24h, My battery always last longer and he is jealous. The best part of the HtC that I like is the Fancy user interface with some 3D effects. The S2 is way better in community, new roms, and all stuff for supporting the phone is available easily.

    My opinion go for the S2 if u love a powerful smartphone, if u care of the look=> HTC

  • @skate211thrasher what about games and apps?

  • @fakedithaha to be honest, both of them has Great applications but heavy games that need much memory works with no lag on the S2 because of its bigger RAM (Few games need this big memory) .

    Other than that: Specs say that HTC's screen has a better resolution but in reality the S2 is better, I searched to know why and I found out that the Super amoled plus technology of the S2 cuts of every pixel into 17 mini pixel and treats them separately.

  • @skate211thrasher thanks for your comment, you rock! :)

  • @AmaninaRohizad84 Man believe me I have been through this and purchased sensation and I feel proud of my decision. HTC is the specialist company for mobiles and tablets. They do not build laptops, washing machines, TV , fridge etc. Their design and UI are far better than Samsung. So their is absolutely no choice. If u can afford go for Sensation XE.

  • @barandeepsingh yes. i've had mine for a few weeks now. satisfied. =)

  • htc asll the way! :)

  • htc sensation is much better: best camera, best audio, best userinterface, best design!

  • @minvydasx You are crazy?, the Sensation camera is pure crap, audio not bad but still doesnt good, the materials design and interface beat SG2 but nothing more.

  • bullshit bias review...

  • HTC wins. Touchwiz is the worst android I have ever used! And HTC is not made for plastic like samsung..

  • You can unlock your [ROOTED] HTC Sensation for free at: forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)c­om/showthread(dot)php?t=123210­7

    Just don't forget to root it first. You can find instructions there to root it as well.

  • I want this video on my 6151 unit.

  • God bless the HTC. It's so AMAZING!!!

  • I like it. It looks delubrant. It is thicker, full of edgy corners, looks awesome and has a great intuitive feeling to the hand (HTC)

  • My dick is better. Why? Cuz it can jack off to 2 megahertz porn mega sites in HD like Brazzers.

  • @67Zaka 2 Mhz? Are you high?

  • @simok97 Fuck yeah, 300 mhz all day in my butt. high as fuck right now...

  • @67Zaka I'll just shut up and leave awkwardly..

  • WTF is with people saying "dropping sgs2 wont break it,cuz its plastic". Its fucking cheap looking is what it is,and the only reason why i would Never buy it.Even the xperia arc has better quality plastic than this cheapo.

  • @189snake shut the fuck up poor faggot.

  • I have " Samsung Galaxy S II " and I think this is the best mobile phone !!!

    Only thing that I don't like is battery life !!!

    But as I heard tis is the main problem of all modern mobile phones !!!

  • Well I have my Samsung Galaxy S and boy I bet on the Galaxy SII, that phone is 4 times better than the S version haha, and even thinner.

    Also, its extremely resistant to impact, it may look plasticky and poor outfit but that makes him a very hard phone to be scratched or cracked more than the HTC,Iphone,Motorola's ones.

    Althought Motorola has the powerful handheld devices out there, they are always the most expensive ones, and low compatibility.

    So Overalls, Galaxy S II Beats everyone.

  • press 2 for phone sex lol

  • Stop arguing lol ... both phones are great. Samsung has better screen but HTC is like 50-100 buck cheaper ..

  • I don't want to start any arguments but the whether the monitor is good or bad should not be judged so easily it depends on your own point of view.

  • also I think the desktop of HTC looks more comfy, somehow samsung is dazzling to me

  • it's kind of like a competition btw Taiwan and Korean -,-

  • а почему Sensation начал тест позже, а окончил раньше, и при этом заработал меньше попугаев?))))

  • lol in this video i saw how you were talking 6 minutes about that the samsung galaxy s 2 has better screen....

  • continuing pt 3..

    I know that HTC build quality is premium. Before the galaxy s2, i had HTC HD2. That phone pisses of me so much, I had thrown that piece of s down to the floor like 10 times. It just wouldn't die on me. (BTW tried once on the iPhone 3GS, the screen cracked instantly (Sad..) ) And the motherboard finally failed and gave myself an excuse to buy Galaxy S2 LOL

    END...

  • continuing..

    For one thing I don't like about the phone (im sure it goes for all android phones) is the battery life. the iPhone is still superior on that part. I guess it takes a lot of processing power to run Android OS than iOS. Hope there are improvements on the ICS Version. The plastic feel of the Samsung is not bad, but I dont know if it'll survive a few hard drops.

    To be continued...

  • @dealstobid trust me, the plastic they use is pretty flexible so dropping it isnt really a problem, comparing is with something like the iphone 4s for example, glass doesnt flex at all so any impact will always cause some form of damage and dropping it will destroy that glass instantly.

  • @Reaves1994 it's still plastic.

  • @k1ngrocc Well if you would prefer an all steel casing and would also enjoy a 500gram phone then i guess you better wait for the iphone 10

  • Man. I just love reading the comments over here. Makes me laugh LOL. Anyways I would side to the Samsung Galaxy S2 and am using it right now (but the T-Mobile version :-( ) The speed of the Galaxy would be faster than the Sensation and the screen is of course superior. The get a deep black and vivid colors, great great porn lol jk. User interface .. err on both... I would just install some other launcher on the market for free. To be continued...

  • Samsung Galaxy S II is big piece of plastic...

  • 500:2 for GsII

  • samsun glaxat s2 is the best....dont give a shit to sensation....

  • wow. phone mating

  • The main reason you'd want the Sensation over Galaxy S2 is the SCREEN.

    LCD is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar superior in quality over AMOLED.

  • @4JRimmer What? Are you 100% dumb? The S2's S-AMOLED+ beats the shit out of the S-LCD of the Sensation. S2's screen is far, far superior

  • @Finchowned i think ur more dumb. S-AMOLED is not battery saving. s2 batterylife is lesser than sensation's.

  • @Nintendy123 I'd rather sacrafice some battery for a decent screen. SLCD is truly awful!
