> So torn between Sony Xperia S and Galaxy S2
Bookmark topic
Really don't know which one to get, I think the following:-
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 ADVANTAGES
Fast, no lagging.
Good camera and Full HD Video
Good Screen
Light and Slim
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 DISADVANTAGES
No Camera shutter button
Takes a few seconds inbetween shots
Autofocus starts 1 second into videos and not before you start taking the video.
SONY XPERIA S ADVANTAGES
Good Screen
Good Camera and Full HD Video
Dual Core Processor
Camera Shutter Button
SONY XPERIA S DISADVANTAGES
Yellow tint on the screen
Not that slim
Tempermental touch buttons above the transparent strip
Still so torn, don't know what to get, The yellow tint thing kind of puts me off the Xperia S as I wouldn't wanna mess around returning it or sending it off for repair and being without a phone.

Feel and hands-on both phones (real working ones) and come up with your own conclusion?? Also, search on youtube for some reviews and hands-on????

Thanks Rikken, I think even though the S3 comes out soon the S2 could still give new phones coming out in the next year or so a good battle would you agree?

No way. They don't play in the same league really.

From sg2 + xperia s user .
Xperia s is abit heavier but after i use play , that weight is actually ok and feel more solid in hand .
The lcd screen is great . sg2 amoled somehow like too dark and dim .
audio quality and volume is better on loudspeaker of xperia s .
NFC seem like start to roll out . I use my phone as entry pass for university library ( cool right ?) .
higher resolution screen and better look . Sg2 look is quite outdated now . Htc one s /x kinda nice also .
Better camera on xperia s . Accurate white balance and faster shutter speed and exmor R night picture .
HDMI sepeated output .
And now sg2 advantage . Removeable battery , lighter micro sd slot and mass storage mode ( xperia s have mtp mode only , don like it ) and also button easier to press .

In a way. The S2 is already a year old but it is still among the best, infact Tecradar has it on top of their "20 best phones in the world today" list

Simply pick for yourself Samsung Galaxy S2...Its the best smartphone in the samsung world today.
Though Sony Xperia S is a powerful device but i would prefer S2.

why is everyone so hypnotized by the galaxy s2, yes it is a good phone I've had a few since it came out but the xperia s is a better device. as I write this they are both next to me, as I play with both the xperia just feels better looks better screen is better camera is better UI is better, G2 UI in my opinion looks so childish just looking at both system icons the xperia ones look so nice compared to the g2 hdmi on the xperia with tv launcher is awesome. the music player on the xperia is amongst if not the best on an android device, keyboard with swype is better, front facing camera is better too be honest the xperia s performs better with gingerbread than many devices with ICS.
I also believe that in a few months the xperia s will get even better with ICS and future updates.

The Touchwiz UI is not childish it's practical. The GS2 is still more advanced and faster than the Xperia S. The Sony has last years hardware. And so what if it has a HD screen. Unless you ain't got a tv why go you need a battery draining HD screen on a phone?? Xperia S 12 meg images does not mean it's better than 8 meg. The GS2 has an excellent camera with better details and less noise than the Xperia S. Yes the music player might sound better who cares. You cannot say something is better just coz it has higher mega pixels or screen res. It's just a matter of taste. You say you prefer in your opinion the Sony UI. That's your opinion as is peoples other taste with the GS2. Millions of GS2 buyers cannot be wrong. Micro SD support plus removable battery means alot to customers which is something Xperia S does not offer. You can buy the 2,000mAh extended battery for GS2 without making it much fatter. _________________
