I've been looking into a new smartphone since my precious HTC Desire got nicked a few months ago and sadly not having insurance on the frigging phone I've decided to hold out for bigger and better phones... and they are here!!

I've always been a huge fan of Android phones since they came out, and I'm having trouble choosing between the Samsung Galaxy SII and HTC's latest Sensation. I wanted to hear the views of other "potential buyers" and perhaps owners on what they would choose and why. It often comes down to a personal choice I think but there are a few things that make me wish I could just combine the two phones :P

After using the phones in stores, and a mate of mine has a HTC Sensation, the Samsung's screen beats the HTC's hands down, it also has more built in storage than the Sensation. On the other side Sense UI is awesome and I've really enjoyed it on my Desire (cry will miss you), and the Sensation comes with Sense 3.0. Also the Sensation records audio with stereo sound, which is the only phone on the market that does if I remember correctly.

The last thing that gets me is the Samsung feels like a superior phone with it's big fancy screen and reams of storage space, but it feels very light and plastic which kinda puts me off. HTC has always had good build quality and when I pick up the Sensation you get that feeling that wow, this is an expensive, sophisticated modern device. Saying that it is equally impressive to grab the powerful Samsung phone and feel just how light it is, almost like how "dynamite comes in small packages" or light ones ^^

In terms of price they are both available for R320pm from various networks.

help me chooose!
