HTC Sensation review: Front-page stuff

10 June 2011
HTC burst right onto the dual-core scene with a phone that's set to be an Android sensation. They've gone all out with the design of that one - from screen, through camera to the powerful chipset. No cutting corners, no compromise on features. Update, 02.08.2011: Video summary of the review added...

1. 3gp container vs mp4.
2. Much higher bitrate in GS2. 10Mbps in Sensation vs 17Mbps in GS2.

Tell me how on earth can Sensation video be better?

      lacp, 10 Jun 2011You are a moron, it looks that you don't understand nothing... moreFirst of all check your english,u have a serious language problem,secondly dont act like a faggot,cant you see which has better sharpness and colours,infact the person who has written the review is also of the opinion that Sensation is better in camera department(both in still and video),see it again,and if u still feel that Sgs 2 is better,despite the author is saying that Sensation is better,then you seriously need an eye check up,do tell me when you get an apointment,i'll pay for your hospital charges!!!

You can't see that the Galaxy S II have better camera and much better sharpness, quality and smooth in the video recording and playback?

          [deleted post]I agreed with GSM Arena, you don't know shit about pictures. If you take a close look (use zoom for that, if you don't already know that) you will notice much more detail in the galaxy s2 pictures. It looks like they where using a tripod with one phone and hand holding with the other. It doesn't even come close.

              [deleted post]Okay this is when you know people don't know anything about photography. Take a look at the close up of the flower bed and you will see that the HTC removed the sun cast on the leaves and ground and gave it a unnatural image compared to the detail with the sun cast of the SGS 2. Obviously you don't know a thing about taking pictures.

                      OMG!I wasnt expecting this from gsmarena,thats a totally biassed review,showing full of samsung fanboyism,they said the camera on sensation is not good,but the reality is that its just awesome,infact it outclasses Samsung Galaxy S2,take a look here for yourselfhttp://www.smartphoneenvy.com/featured/face-off-htc-sensation-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/:,in almost all of the photos,Sensation was better then SGS 2,and then see the video sample too,Sensation is way ahead in video department compared to SGS 2,cmon Gsmarena,u need to be honest,otherwise you will lose a lot of readers due to this biassed attitude

                        You really have something with the death grip thing (although not all Sensation's have it), should try it on other phones, and make a post for every one of them pointing out the signal loss. Good review, excepting this.

                            Well done HTC. It looks like they made a good phone and may soon be able to produce a phone to match or even surpass the mighty SG SII.

                            nice review GSMArena

                                The death grip issue is enough to make this phone a major FAIL in my book. Add the crappiest OS, Android, then this phone makes it to the top 2 most overhyped phone second only to the SGS 2. You guys needs to get out of Android's reality distortion field and stop being sheeps.
