Rather than asking this on their forums I thought I would get a more impartial answer here!
My OH is due a new contract, but doesnt like any phone.....apart from my White ARC S.
So, she has said that I can have her new phone if I wish and she has mine.
I've not discounted getting another Arc S, but there are good deals on the Sensation XE and the Samsung S2 White. Given the choice, which of those two phones would you recommend?
Cheers!
Sensation XE takes good picture and it doesn't look I-Phonish It has great GPU Adreno 220 etc. Only down side is you only have 768MB RAM.
Sony.
But if I have to decide I'd buy the HTC.
No one on earth brings me to buy a Samsung.

What ram does the s2 have compared to that?
The arc is a big improvement ram wise than the desire I originally had.
SGS II because it's fast.
Sensation is the same or slower than my Arc.

The S2 exynos is more powerful than XE's snapdragon 3(even through exynos is 1.2 Ghz and Snapdragon 3 is 1.5 Ghz but exynos is faster and better)
S2
-More ram
-7 ICS leaks in a month
-CM9 only video Camera,USB and a few bugs left

Your loss - Samsung have been producing the best hardware of any Android OEM for over a year, no-one gets close.
There's simply no contest between the two, the Galaxy S2 is a vastly superior handset.
The Galaxy S2 is basically a match for anything currently on the market and, screen resolution aside, is even a match for the up-coming Xperia S.
The only Android handsets on the market that are objectively better in any way are the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note and even then, the subjective nature of such decisions means it's far from a clear choice.
They could have such good device and I won't buy it.
It's just a personal thing.
And I'm happy with my Sony devices.

UPDATE
Well in the end I went for the Galaxy S2 in white. Doesnt look quite as good as the ARCS in white, but boy is it fast!!
I'm more of a reader than an asker, but thanks for all the help that is on the ARC forums that I used.

the Arc got a better camera. thats it.
If you need a nice and style looking + average spec, you should go Arc. If you need a powerfull, comfortable, long battery android phone, you go for Atrix 4G.

Arc is thin light and plasticy with great camera. Atrix is ok camera better build and much more powerful.
Depends if you really want a great camera exprience or the power and speed of atrix.
I've owned both. The Atrix wins. The Arc is a cheap feeling, fingerprint magnet with a Sony Ericsson UI that is not the default Gingerbread look. It is a slightly improved Xperia X10. I dumped it after one day and went back to an Atrix.
The Arc has a measly single core snapdragon processor, 'nough said.
Yeah but it's very fast. It's faster than the Atrix, though I still prefer the Atrix. Use them before you review them. Please.

maybe when they will release minor changes will be done

i really like the design and if the price is not too high i would consider to buy one.
if i put h/w performance as primary criteria i would choose an HTC or samsung, but i don't

this so called "nozomi" is kind of UGLY !! which i find strange because SE is famous for it's great designs like the arc and the neo !

I don't think we can judge yet. The pictures only show the screen. You don't see the whole profile of the phone. So, I would not jump to conclusions yet.

well, since i'm not getting a new phone before 2013, this should be just nice to see what comes next
hoping that 2013 flagship phone will come at least with a quadcore processor, more RAM, flash memory(I REALLY DISLIKE memory cards), more communication between other sony products such as TV, Tablet, VAIO, PS3, HomeTheater and even with the CarNav they sell would be nice (like tethering a-gps signal to the unit, etc) for the camera sincerly I dont mind, the actual Arc camera fits just nice to me, but as someone here said, it would be nice if that were placed more at the center, I always have some problems with my finger when I take photos with the Xperia Arc
Hi guys I've been using X10 for enough time now -nearly 8 months- and want to change
I have three offers now
Infuse 4G
LG G2x (+25$)
Atrix. (+50$)
I'm asking you what wud u prefer in terms of Hardware,performance.,Style and UI and most importantly "development"?
Sorry I'm asking here cause here are the members I trust.want 2 know ur opinions pls..
Omar,
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
My favorite is atrix. 1Ghz Tegra 2 paired with 1Gb Ram is awesome, and the qHD screen it higher density too. Just for your info, it has a firgerprint scanner too!
And i think its official CM support is on the way too.
While G2x has the same processor, 512Mb ram but with official CM support.
I planning to get myself atrix next year though XD
yeah between those three definitely atrix

Would that mean that optimus 3D is better than atrix? -they have the same price here-

Well infuse has good specs for being the cheaper but if can afford more without problems get the atrix
In my case would be the infuse(4g phone with a ginormous super amoled screen) but atrix is better in the long road
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
atrix for me,then if you cant get it go for g2x
Atrix! believe me, you will be surprised by its raw processing power...
So u guys don't prefer optimus 3D? I saw a video on youtube atrix vs optimus 3D and the latter was much faster
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i'll saw both are equally good, but the 1GB ram in Atrix is a not match for 3D. 1Gb is more future proof.
guys, I am also considering Atrix, LG O2X and Xperia Arc. I can get these for the same price.
I use my phone mostly for browsing the web and reading the RSS. have anyone of X10 users seen the pentile display of Atrix? Have read that the fonts are not always clear, depending on the background.
Atrix is winning as the android phone with the best battery life (source) but I fear that the display would be a downgrade.
Thanks.
P.S.: sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think this is on topic and useful for OP.

I've used it and the display was fine..
Better than x10 that's for sure.
Not as good as sgs2 obviously but still good..
In that list definitely don't buy arc, single core vs dual core? Easy decision
I need your opinions. I have my X8 for about a year and a half now. It's a long time for me. I'm thinking about switching to Samsung Galaxy Mini, because it has 384 MB RAM, multitouch, it's thinner and smaller. And everything else is about the same. And don't blame the screen res, I even like smaller phones better. Correct me if I'm wrong about the specs...

I don't think Galaxy Mini has the specs compared to X8..It might have the same fitures not all but same..but it has different hardware which I think X8 is better..remember how much did you buy your x8? Compare it with how much does Galaxy Mini cost when it was first released..Much cheaper right? For me price shows the quality not the quantity..But of course it's me..don't know with you..
Even my friend who own galaxy mini envy my x8..

Nice second is the Note 2. I honestly love Samsung as a company they add something new and exciting with each of their new phone. I just wish that they made better build quality. Though i understand they went for a skinny light weight phone and all. I really wanted a solid build like the Nexsus 4 the build quality is Excellent on the nexsus 4. Oh well maybe next phone they will have better build quality. If not HTC here i come haha..
Otherwise this is great news..

My opinion...
1. Galaxy S3
2. Xperia T (It isn't the most powerful but come on its sexy, and the Xperia UI is much much cleaner than Touchwiz and Sense)
3. One X+ (Sense is horrible, but camera, etc are great on this)
