Samsung Galaxy S2 vs. HTC Sensation

Listen to article

So now that two of the top dual-core smartphones are coming to the Philippines this June, we ask you to pick your favorite with the suggested retail price in mind. Let’s pit the HTC Sensation vs. the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 after the jump.

Both handsets are great and are considered to be on top of the ranks of smartphones. Here’s our tabular comparison between the two smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 HTC Sensation
Dual-core 1.2GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 Dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM 8260
ARM Mali-400 MP Adreno 220 GPU
4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus (480×800) 4.3-inch Super LCD (540 x 960)
16GB storage, 1GB RAM 1GB storage, 768 RAM
microSD up to 32GB microSD up to 32GB
8GB microSD included 8GB microSD included
8 MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash 8 MP autofocus camera w/ dual-LED flash
1080p @ 30fps video recording 1080p @ 30fps video recording
2 MP front camera for video calls 0.3 MP front camera for video calls
Android OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread Android OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread
TouchWiz UI 4.0 HTC Sense 3.0 UI
WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi Direct WiFi 802.11 b/g/n; DLNA, WiFi Direct
Bluetooth 3.0 Bluetooth 3.0
Stereo FM radio with RDS Stereo FM radio with RDS

GPS w/ aGPS support GPS w/ aGPS support
125.3mm x 66.1mm x 8.48mm 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm
116 grams 148 grams
1650mAh Li-Ion 1520mAh Li-Ion
Price: Php29,990 Price: Php33,000

The clincher here really is the suggested retail price of the two — the HTC Sensation is Php3k more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the Php29,990 price of the SGS2 is probably subsidized by Globe which has exclusive distribution of the handset for the first month or so.

I’ve been thinking which one to choose over these phones. I currently use HTC Desire HD. I have no issues at all with the browser but I wanted to get the best possible android phone in the market and I was left with these two choices. Clearly in all reviews, Samsung Galaxy SII out runs HTC Sensation in terms off performance so I chose Samsung over HTC. Yesterday I went to Mall of Asia to get my Samsung Galaxy SIi but before that, I compared the two products. I was disappointed on how Samsung Galaxy SIi feels in my hand. It felt cheap compared to HTC Desire HD that I have. It felt like I am holding a cheap remote control that can be blown away anytime. I even felt it cannot support 2-3 helium balloons. I am a heavy user but I feel that few steps behind performance, the HTC Sensation still won’t dissapoint me.

i both have the device at my office- and to my delight- indoors,if you put them side by side,the superamoled of the sgs 2 and the slcd of HTC are nowhere near different- napansin ko pa nga,mas ok pa rendition ng HTC.

HTC is really brilliant with the whole totality of the SEnse- professional,edgy & outgoing, really nice.,
Touchwiz is boring. icons cheapen the look. Samsung learn from this! your icons are cartoony, layouts are so pfft flat.. pay justice to your amoled glory..!

AMOLED SHINES OUTDOORS AT DITO NAMAN PANALO ANG SAMSUNG…
but with the total feel., if you want a fast phone with slick feel, choose HTC…

mas matipid ang screen kamo na amoled kumpara sa slcd?

dude… after testing the two phones, then laying them still open–after a full charge cycle at nalowbat., it yielded me these two datas ( using the android battery meter sa 2 phones ) amoled used 89% of batt power, and slcd, only 45%… ano ka ngayon? before ka magcomment based sa written., i real life test mo

QUESTION:

In a battle between BlackBerry and iPhone, if I contradict someone who’s rooting for iPhone, does that automatically mean that I’m for BlackBerry?

If I say something bad about Apple, does that mean I’m a Rim fan?

Hi guys, as for my opinion? i think i will go for the htc sensation.

Better OS still means better quality build. that goes for the sensation.. no doubt about it. it’s like getting a stable OS like win7 on your notebook, instead of getting a vista.

but for all others there? that would think that.. i didn’t check on the specs.. gs2 is still the winner.. but i do prefer software over hard ware, after all the slimness of gs2 and super amoled is not match for sensation. but i still do think the latest sense, or software development is important, with the updates htc frequently have. i really do enjoy my current sense for htc desire… :)

wat r u saying? both SGS2 & Sensation have d same OS (Android Gingerbread)

JA
Jared · 15 years ago

hey jm, ever heard of TouchWiz and HTC Sense? Although he said OS, I think he’s talking about UI..

you nailed it bro! I AM an HTC fanboy! good job on figuring that out..

and the reason why I have a Samsung Galaxy S is that I want to prove to you all that samsung sucks and HTC is the BEST!!

but no sir, I don’t have an HTC phone (yet) nor does anyone I know. but I still LOVE IT! I just bought a samsung phone first because I really wanna bring them down.
I also created this website: http://www.SamsungSucksBuyHTCInstead.com to prove that HTC is the best!!


KA
karl · 15 years ago

Yeah jared I know Touchwiz, Sense, Optimus UI, Timescape and Motoblur. I know they r UI and they r not OS because I’m not stupid like HTC-fanboys

Jared you bought a SGS just to prove Samsung sucks??? Hu r u kidding??? If that is true then u r really PLAIN STUPID, hahaha.

HTC Sensation’s target SRP is 32k. but since it sucks, it’s price goes down to 28k.
http://www.cmkcellphones.com/htcmobile.html

But still no one buys it and we’re all waiting for SGS2!


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

of course you do! a quick google will tell you all about them..
oh! so you’re jm? hahaha! hello!^^,

well, technically it’s a Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003). I just like to call it SGS because it’s cooler. hehe ;)

anyhow, yes I am stupid. because I let them (samsung) woo me.
It’s really awesome at first but after a few months they’re a piece of crap! battery depletes too fast, lags and crashes every time. my ipod is way more useful when I’m out because Samsung’s battery runs out too fast! I only use it when I’m home or in the car where I can plug in my device. but if it didn’t have any problems, I wouldn’t use my ipod anymore cause SGSL is obviously better.

you see jm, karl, or whatever your name is, I’m more of a Samsung hater rather than an HTC fan.

*and today I found out that schizophrenic people doesn’t understand sarcasm.*


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

and uhm, what do I call you, karl or jm?
anyhow, I want know why you hate HTC so much.

me, I won’t say that HTC is great nor that it is bad because I haven’t had one yet. so I’m not really one to judge here.

have you had an HTC phone before? did it disappoint you?

karl · 15 years ago

*I don’t hate HTC. This is a forum titled: Samsung Galaxy S II vs HTC Sensation.

*HTC Sensation is a good number 2 or 3 choice for a superphone, that’s my point

*HTC Sensation has its highlights but overall, SGS2 is the best.

*sorry if I offended you in any way by my comments.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

*but the comments you post tells us otherwise.

“HTC Sensation‘s target SRP is 32k. but since it sucks, it’s price goes down to 28k.”

*no worries, I’m not offended at all. I’m just pragmatic. and it’s clear that you’ve misunderstood everything.

*I’m just telling a PUBLIC INFORMATION. all my comments doesn’t come from me alone. I have information to support my opinions

Update: HTC Sensation is on sale right now. Its price is now cheaper than SGS2:
http://www.cmkcellphones.com/htcmobile.html

*that is really advantageous for HTC-fans. go get one, hehe.

*Hope SGS2 also sucks so that its price will go down as well, LOL, just kidding. I will buy SGS2 on Monday when it arrives.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

*how’s this for PUBLIC INFORMATION?
http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/30/is-your-galaxy-s-iis-display-yellow-on-the-left/

*I not sure if it will be available on monday, every samsung store I asked told me that they’ve not been given a date yet.
meh! I bet you can’t even afford it.

*goodluck to you and your imaginary friend jm. haha


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*SGS2 is already available in CMK @ 27800 pesos. I already reserved a unit. I will get my unit on Monday.

*HTC is also already available at 27500. Wow that is a BIG discount for HTC fans considering its target SRP was 32k.

*I will tell you if that “YELLOW” thing really exists. Wait for my post on Tuesday. Have a good day Jared.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

so a colleague bought one? oh karl, you’re such a simple minded person. well, I’m not surprised that you didn’t read and/or understand my “public information”.. that “YELLOW” thing does exist. I just hope my sister gets one of the good ones.

and by the way, where is jm? you know, your imaginary friend. I miss that uncivilized person. I think he’s the real one.


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*u also did not understand my “public information” about the DEATH DRIP of HTC Sensation. The WIFI and BLUETOOTH of the unit goes down to almost zero while holding the device.

*this is so SERIOUS than that “yellow tint” which is not at all noticeable and its not tested to be existing in all units

*the DEATH GRIP issue of HTC Sensation exists IN ALL units!


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*u know y the DEATH GRIP exists in ALL units of HTC Sensation? Because the device uses the back cover as WIFI and BLUETOOTH antenna. By holding the back cover, the signals deteriorate

*this is a DUMB engineering work of HTC because iPhone 4 also has this issue and they still commit the same mistake.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

but I do understand your “public information”. in fact, I value each and every word you say.

you see, YOU already gave an advice on how to take care of the DEATH GRIP issue. don’t you remember?

“*The sole advantage of SENSATION over SGS2 is durability. But SGS2 CAN do something about that by buying protective cases etc.”

just like in the iPhone, putting on a protective casing takes care of that issue. problem solved!

and also coming from you:

“*eh mkakabili ka rin ba ng screen booster para gumanda ang screen just like in SGS2”

EXACTLY! once you have the yellow tint, it’s forever there. you know, I’m really starting to like you. I think we have common interests.

p.s. I’m just quoting what you said.

p.p.s. Sir Abe made a thorough test on the said death grip issue. turns out that it isn’t really a problem at all.
http://www.yugatech.com/blog/mobile/htc-sensations-death-grip-isssue/
whether you believe it or not depends on you.

p.p.p.s. by the way, how’s “your” SGS2? does it have a yellow tint?


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*I already bought SGS2 yesterday and it is very very fast.

*No matter how many apps I open, its still blazing fast, NO LAGS whatsoever.

*everything is working properly.

*there is no yellow tint issue or any display issue. The SUPER AMOLED PLUS display is so amazing.

*my money is really worth it

*so JARED, why don’t you buy yourself an HTC Sensation? What’s the matter? Can’t risk it? Haha LOL.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

everything you’ve said is expected.

“*No matter how many apps I open, its still blazing fast, NO LAGS whatsoever.”
-of course, it’s a brand new phone duh!

“*everything is working properly.”
-may I point out that this is a really dumb statement. of course it is working properly, if it’s not then why the hell would anyone take it?
seriously, would anyone accept something that’s not working properly?

“*there is no yellow tint issue or any display issue. The SUPER AMOLED PLUS display is so amazing.”
congratulations! but judging by your personality of not wanting to lose, you may or or not be telling the truth. oh well, guess we’ll just to have to take your word for it.

“*my money is really worth it”
well yeah, for now.. like I said, the real issue of samsung phones is that they’re easy to deteriorate. well, I guess a dim-witted person like you wouldn’t understand.. *sigh*

buying HTC Sensation? Never even crossed my mind. I’m still good with my SGS + iPod combo. I’ll just wait for the iPhone 5 before choosing which phone to even consider buying.

we’re going at it for so long and you still think that I’m rooting for HTC Sensation. dude, I’m worried, you should have your brain checked. I’m serious! this is serious stuff!
at first I thought you were just plain stupid, but now I really think you have an illness. go have it checked up, it won’t hurt to try. no seriously! go have it checked up! I know you might get offended but I’m just being concerned. in situations like these, you just have to accept it even if it hurts..


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*goodluck with your iPhone 5, lol

*when iPhone 5 comes out, one month after there will be better phones that will come out also

*u might wait FOREVER, haha

*reply here for the review of ur “iPhone 5”, when u have it already, lol.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

haha! It’s really funny how I need to explain things to you in a way a 5 year old would understand.

anyhow, I’m not really looking for a new phone right now. maybe in 2-3 months (i.e release of iphone 5). and I didn’t even mention anything about buying an iphone.

but here’s what, I’ll give you a review of whatever I’ll buy in 2-3 months. and it surely won’t be SGS2 since my sister already bought one. (I don’t like us having twin phones)

and yeah, it’s blazing fast! but I only see a wee bit of difference between our phones. I bet we won’t even see a difference once I get my gingerbread update.

there’s just one thing I didn’t like about it; the speaker. covering it with your finger (even if you don’t put much pressure) mutes it. you won’t hear a thing. it totally blocks out the sound.
but overall, I like it.

“To each his own” as someone said. Different people have different needs and/or wants.

As for me, I use a smartphone mainly for multimedia purposes like watching videos, listening to music, photo editing, and a little gaming. For those purposes, I would go for the SGS2. I’ll love it all the more since it has a pre-installed video editing app, not to mention an improved Super AMOLED from my current SGS.

By the way, I’m selling a Samsung Wave S8500 w/ full body invisible shield and 8GB external microSD. You may reach me via my number +63927******* in case you’re interested.

*what’s your point?

*it’s called an “INTERNAL MEMORY” for a reason. I don’t think you get it.

*bigger? I don’t think it’d fit. higher capacity? – maybe

I REST MY CASE.


KA
karl · 15 years ago

my point is:

*The sole advantage of SENSATION over SGS2 is durability. But SGS2 CAN do something about that by buying protective cases etc.

*While all of the advantages of SGS2 over the SENSATION CANNOT be remedied like better display, higher internal memory, higher RAM etc. can u comprehend?

*and also when u say BIGGER battery, it means higher energy storage capacity and not its physical size, lol. its hard explaining things to noobs!


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

my point is:

*”wear and tear” – The gradual deterioration of an asset which results naturally from use and/or age. can u comprehend?

*you do know that even though one has slightly higher specs doesn’t equate to it as being faster/better.. do you?
and display is a matter of personal preference (540 x 960) > (480 x 800). (is my math correct?)

*do you not recognize a troll when you see one?
lol. its hard explaining things to noobs!

and did I mention anything about rooting for sensation? I’m just here to prove some people are stupid. and you’re making this way too easy for me. haha

I thought you REST your CASE?


KA
karl · 15 years ago

*I can’t rest my case when I know IDIOTS like u exist

*Yes, it doesn’t mean that if a phone has higher specs, its better. BUT tests can prove if its better.
check this out:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_vs_galaxy_sii_vs_optimus_2x-review-608p5.php

*out of the 6 tests, SGS2 wins with flying colors. That’s 6-0 in your face! the Optimus 2x is 2nd place winning 5-1 against the Sensation. In your face again! Do you give up now?

*although the SENSATION has 540 x 960 display resolution, SUPER AMOLED Plus DISPLAY is a much much better display no doubt! SUPER AMOLED Plus Display is also much better than the RETINA display of iPhone 4

*and also I forgot to mention the DEATH GRIP of HTC Sensation. when you hold the back of this phone, the WIFI and BLUETOOTH signals will deteriorate to almost ZERO!
check this out:

*i don’t want to spend my money on a phone with a problem like that!

*Please GIVE UP! You’re embarrassing yourself TOO MUCH!


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

you really are a fanboy aren’t you? haha! I bet if SGS2 had the (540 x 960) resolution and SENSATION had the SUPER AMOLED Plus DISPLAY, you’d say the having a higher resolution is WAY better.

“Karl: of course not! SUPER AMOLED Plus DISPLAY is still better even if HTC SENSATION had it”
“Jared: of course you’d say that. haha”

“and did I mention anything about rooting for sensation? I’m just here to prove some people (you) are stupid (or dumb. whichever you prefer). and you’re making this way too easy for me. haha”

kudos for yet another dumb reply. bravo!
are we on the same page? could you review everything I said up until now; did I ever mention anything about HTC SENSATION being better than SGS2?
like I said, I’m just here to prove you’re dumb. and you’ve proven me right.. again.

let me spell it out for you. I’ll say it in a way that a (dumb) person like you would understand.

I’m in NO WAY arguing with you that SENSATION is better than SGS2. SGS2 could be the BEST smartphone ever for all I care.
my point is none of those tests you gave would tell me what I need. keyword(s): “wear and tear” look at the definition I gave.

I want to know their decrease in performance over time. to have the results I need, you’d have to use those phones for at least 3-6 months, then test their performance. will SGS2 perform better? we don’t know yet. if it does then ok, SGS2 is indeed better.

I don’t see why it’s “IN MY FACE”. you’re just making pathetic insults which are not clearly thought of.


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

good job on doing the research. those reviews are great although irrelevant to what I said.

and since you went through all the trouble looking for a defect on HTC SENSATION, I went out of my way to dig some dirt on your beloved SGS2.

and what do you know, I found one: (from one of the most popular tech blogs, engadget)

http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/30/is-your-galaxy-s-iis-display-yellow-on-the-left/

oh my! look at those comments, looks like a huge percentage of SGS2 owners have that defect.

p.s. still not saying that SENSATION is better than SGS2..

p.p.s. I’m replying here so that the text doesn’t get messy

p.p.p.s. and I will not say “IN YOUR FACE”


JA
Jared · 15 years ago

I’m a bit of a psychologist myself; judging by (what I think is) your personality, I’d say you didn’t even read all of my comments.
after the first part, once you’ve seen that I’m contradicting you, you’re already pissed. that’s why you didn’t understand what I said, you just scanned through it.
being proud, you wanted to prove me wrong.. to you, it doesn’t really matter how, you just wanted to.
I’ll make a prediction. guys like you won’t let me have the last word, so I’m expecting a reply. I bet when you’re arguing with someone, you shout a lot.
you let the tone of your voice decide who won the fight.
rough guess but quite close isn’t it? ;p

kng gusto myo OS na di maglag, try kayo mag-program ng OS from scratch, tapos sabihin nyo sa akin kng madali lng ba gawin ang OS.

puro kayo reklamo, di pa nga kayo nakabili.

kng ako tanungin nyo, gusto ko low-end phones, anong silbi ng wifi in phone if walang wifi hotspots sa buong pinas. anong silbi ng wifi kng sa office merong internet, tapus pag-uwi sa bahay, meron din. FACEBOOK lng naman gamit nyo sa WIFI at 3G/4G connection ng phone nyo eh. why not be productive, and have a real work.

don’t waste your working hours doing FACEBOOK. It won’t give you any promotions. so why buy smartphones, instead use the money to increase your income, do not use the smartphones for other to say that you are one of the elites.

meron nga SGS2 or Sensation, pero walang load, pangdisplay lng para sabihin mayaman sila pero walang laman ang tyan kasi ang sweldo naubos kababayad sa monthly credit cards bills, para maglaway ang ibang tao pati na mga snatcher at holdaper.

Seems to me that you’re talking to a specific group of people. Don’t assume that your needs are similar to the needs of others. If you want, state which kinds of people you want to address because some might get offended by your post or think that you’re a narrow minded individual (which of course you are not).
All I’m saying is that learn who you’re talking to because some will think that you’re line of thinking is stupid. Its a failsafe of sorts.
I can really see a stark difference between how Filipinos and the rest of the world post in forums and comments.

ok, i’m talking about those social climber freaks out there. i did comment that to offend them, for them to come into terms that buying phones for “impression and display” purposes can’t make their stomach full.

i do admit i love both SGSII and the Sensation, but i’m in no terms to buy that phone, it just don’t fit my needs. i better buy the money for my basic needs.

“*Well, I respect your opinion. But also respect opinions of others.”
-HA! you’re one to talk! minutes later you’re dissing everyone else’s personal opinion.
pshh! even after Kei said “To each his own na lang”.

in case you didn’t understand, he’s talking about those people who buys expensive gadgets and/or things but couldn’t even pay for rent.
he’s not saying mayabang ang bumibili ng mamahaling gadgets. He’s just implying that people have to first prioritize the things they NEED than the things they WANT.

and yes, expensive gadgets (SGS2 and SENSATION) are a “WANT” thing, it will never be a “NEED” (necessity).

Truth Is · 15 years ago

Tech/blog sites who have reviewed both Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation have considered the Samsung Galaxy S2 to be the smartphone to beat and is the best among the current available smartphones. Build-wise you can’t just simply dismiss the SGS2 to be poor just because it’s made of plastic (lighter weight, slimmer and less interference with the 3G and wifi radios?). Dapat naman talaga alagaan ang gadget kahit ano pa mang brand yan. It’s selling like hotcakes for a reason. Samsung can’t even cope up with production daw that’s why there were delays on its launching worldwide.

Why settle for 2nd best when you can get the greatest… at a lower price pa!
I’d go with Samsung Gakaxy S2!

based on trying both brands in the past years, I’d go for HTC.
I prefer their “sense” and durability than Samsung.
I really don’t like the colors of Amoled as I have sensitive eyes that’s why I prefer super LCD over it regardless of how amazing it is as what people says.
whenever I buy a new phone I take a couple of things into consideration. Like what will I do with it aside from calling and texting.
I usually use it for music and ebook reading.
Checking my mails and calendar.
Yeah, just being the crap as I am.

*OLED Display is better for people with sensitive eyes than LCD Displays

*Only active pixels will emit light in an OLED Display while the backlight in a LCD Display will emit light all throughout

*Also OLED Display uses less energy than LCD Display making it more suitable for Mobile Devices where battery life is crucial

dude… after testing the two phones, then laying them still open–after a full charge cycle at nalowbat., it yielded me these two datas ( using the android battery meter sa 2 phones ) amoled used 89% of batt power, and slcd, only 45%… ano ka ngayon? before ka magcomment based sa written., i real life test mo

AMOLED or Active Matrix OLED only activates pixels that are in use unlike LCD displays which use the whole screen no matter which pixels are active.

*for example, u can save energy by using a black wallpaper than a white one in AMOLED whereas in LCD, changing wallpapers won’t do u any good

I don’t know about htc, but samsung phones have battery issues. I know 4 people with different models (one is a galaxy tab) experienced it.
Worst part is that samsung personnel categorized it as being normal. Ok, since when does having your battery drop to zero after fully recharging it normal?!
Maybe they’ve improved the battery quality in SGS2, but we really wouldn’t know until we test it ourselves.

If there were any battery issues like what you’ve said (full battery dropping to zero), don’t you think it would be all over the internet right now? Besides, tech sites rate their products from average to above average with all the comprehensive tests including battery performance. May kamalasan ata apat na kilala mo.


PH
phillip · 15 years ago

judging by your comments, you’re a samsung fanatic. so your opinion doesn’t really matter since you’re biased..

anyhow, I don’t see the connection of your reply to my post. tech sites only test battery performance not their durability..

not all of them have the same problem, some are just having their battery drain faster (performance drops) after using them for only a couple of months.

I’m just merely stating experiences. there’s really no argument in that.

i have been using HTC phones the past 4 years (Wizard to Wildfire to Desire Z) and i’m impressed by the quality of the hardware. My cousin is still using my old Wizard; my Wildfire is with my dad; and my Desire Z is still in pristine condition no matter how I abuse the Z-hinge. having said that, I have high expectations for the Sensation’s quality. Samsung feels plasticky to me, as if it can break anytime. and it seems to me that Samsung phones depreciate much faster than HTC’s. I’ll choose Sense over TouchWiz anytime too. Reviews show that Galaxy S II has a slight advantage in performance, but I’ll go for durability and feel. To each his own na lang. :)

Funny some people here said that the Android OS lags and base it sa samsung sgs.
FYI lng po sa mga hindi nakakaalam TouchWiz UI (SGS’ UI) has bugs that conflicts with the Android 2.2 Froyo pero once you upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread silky smooth na ulet or if you want, you can download the Launcher Pro app on 2.2 and still be silky smooth w/o updating.


SE
Seanie · 15 years ago

Just for informational purposes, the reason why transitions and animations on Android phones are choppier than WP7 and on the iPhone is largely because of hardware acceleration. Because of the fragmentation of the Android platform, Google has decided to not include HW acceleration in their software since updates apparently have to be universal. It is rumored that this will be fixed in the Ice Cream Sandwich update.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is smoother than other android phones because Samsung has enabled HWA in their kernel along with touchwiz. And as far as I know, its only Samsung that has done this for Gingerbread. (Honeycomb has HWA built-in)

iphones are for idiots who want to look smart. iphone have lots of applications that are useful to their “not-so-smart” or not smart at all owners. if you come to think of it, most of apple apps are really not for smart people. they just have the semblance of “smartness” so to speak. i should know, i got one as a gift but soon realized i rarely use it. is use more instead my ? (i dont want to promote a brand – after all im no fan of any brand) but in fairness to iphone fans, an iphone kinda makes you look cool. it gets you the “wow!-he-has-an-iphone” look from others. so i guess iphones are coolphones or displayphones and it gives a different kind of satisfaction. but smart? oh, let’s leave it at cool. i wished i got instead an ebook reader (from sony, if possible) coz that would have made me a lot happier.

i beg to disagree sa laos part. many fail to see that the galaxy line is Samsung’s flagship line, meaning it’s their line that would compete with the iPhone line. And like the iPhone line, kahit may iPhone 4 na, ang iPhone 3gs hindi parin dinedepreciate ng Apple ang value niya (i.e. iOS 5 will be compatible with it)

And this kind of treatment to the galaxy line can also be anticipated (see: gingerbread update of Galaxy S). Oo, mabilis maglabas ng new and improved gadgets ang Samsung and other phone developers pero hindi basta basta pababayaan ang phones under the FLAGSHIP line of each company (Optimus line, Galaxy Line, Xperia line, etc)

haven’t really decided on what to purchase, will wait for another month or two and read more user-feedback/reviews from pinoy consumers and for the price to drop.

SGSII wins in terms of performance and specs, however can you really tell the difference between the two with our network’s current status? i’m speaking of mobile internet here

but i’m more inclined to buying sensation simply because of its premium build design & quality and its sense UI.

I don’t get it how you’d justify buying a device based on the current status of the network providers here in this country. Sabi nga nila, di pa ganun kalawak ang hspa+ networks dito kaya kung gayun e di, wala kang pipiliin sa dalawa. I don’t limit my purchases based on current standards. Kung kaya nya mas mabilis at a lesser price why not? Atleast pag gumanda ang network, may nagpatayo ng celsite sa tabi namin, o nag-offer ng higher speed magagamit ko sya.

Based on engadgrt’s review, the Sensation wins out on resolution but loses out by a big margin when it comes to quality and the sheer feeling of luxury that the SGS2 provides. SGS2 offers more brilliant display, is more responsive and offers snappier performance than Sensation.

In terms of specs, SII wins by a mile, but the Sensation feels more solid when held, the steel back is much more classy than the plastic back of the S2, just remove the backcover, and you could see how Samsung achieve the thinness, the backcover is paper thin and bends(!) hopefully the plastic is new generation plastic that won’t crack.

The death grip issue is a bummer on the Sensation, but it might not be as much an issue with as Asians, with our smaller hands, which should not cover the upper part of the unit where the antennae (or whatever it’s called) are…

qlcd can be better than Super AMOLED + because it has more pixels (35% more), which could result in sharper texts and better picture quality. But I haven’t seen the Sensation screen so I really can’t compare.

I have seen the Samsung i9003 (Clear LCD), and the Super AMOLED plus (i9100), and the Super AMOLED + color is more saturated and thus looks more colorful, the pictures (I am looking at a clouds Live wallpaper) seems more 3D looking, but in terms of whiteness, the ClearLCD seems whiter.
