With a bunch of smartphones in the market, you might be confused as to what to buy. TheSamsung Galaxy S 2 recently launched in South Korea followed by other select markets making it one of the hottest phones in the market. At the same time we have the HTC Sensation which is also a similar phone with a dual core processor. Today we’ll point out some key aspects of both the devices to make it easier for you to pick the best. Bear in mind that these phones have different CPUs, so the comparison couldn’t be any fairer.
Samsung Galaxy S II
The Samsung Galaxy S II has a remarkably big display at 4.3 inches with the Super AMOLED Plus display. Samsung first showed off the Super AMOLED display with the Galaxy S last year and now this phone promises something new to the customers. The Super AMOLED Plus display, to be honest, isn’t much different than the Super AMOLED display but with the bigger display real estate it does look better.
And to add to the feature list, the dual core Exynos processor makes performance snappier than ever along with 1GB of RAM. The S2 is also capable of recording 1080p Full HD video.
The handset is available in two variants (16 GB and 32 GB). No info is available yet on the 32GB variant. AT&T will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S II in the US, calling it the Samsung Attain.
Specifications:
- 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus Display.
- 8 MP camera with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities at 30fps.
- Dual core 1.2 GHz Exynos 4210 processor.
- 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of built-in storage.
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0.
HTC Sensation
The HTC Sensation is HTC’s latest flagship phone and promises similar functionality as the Samsung Galaxy S II. The Sensation has been subject to a lot of talk and hype, and now reviews and expert opinions suggest that the handset is one of the best HTC devices yet.
What makes it special is the big display of course, and the qHD resolution which makes reading text contents a joy. This beauty features the fancied Qualcomm third generation processor, with each core clocked at 1.2GHz. But if we were to compare the processor performance, the Galaxy S II steals the show from the Sensation.
In terms of camera however, both the Sensation and the Galaxy S II are tied, but Samsung’s brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display with better contrast makes joyous viewing of pictures. The highlight of the HTC Sensation is the Sense 3.0 user interface. With the ability to jump into a particular app directly from the home screen, the Sensation is trendy device. This is the first device to come out with the updated version of Sense 3.0 and we’re very impressed to be honest.
Specifications:
- 4.3 inch S-LCD display with a qHD resolution (340×960 pixels).
- 8MP camera capable of recording 1080p Full HD video at 30fps.
- 1.2 GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
- 768MB of RAM and 1GB of internal storage.
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Conclusion
We think the Sensation and the Galaxy S II are pretty good in their own right. And it’s hard to pick the winner between the two, but if we were to pick one, it would be Galaxy S II. Mainly because of the faster GPU, and overall performance compared to the HTC Sensation. That being said, if you’re looking for a smartphone with all the eye candy, the HTC Sensation is tailor made for you. Not only does it have one of the best user interfaces, it has also got one of the snappiest processors in the market, though it doesn’t come with the Galaxy S II’s extra bit of RAM and 16GB of storage.
So, which one of the above would you choose? Tell us in the comments.
