LIES!!!!!! the SII may have better battery life, but overall the phone is crap lol

Now it may be the rampant HTC fanboy side of me, but i gotta say hold on here, why does having ICS make the GSII a better phone?

Inside their specs are almost identical, and to some the SAMOLED pentile screen (which IMO is a bit oversaturated and overrated) looks like crap.

Batterywise: what kind of battery is the GSII packing? either way battery life depends on how hard you hammer the phone, I keep my Amaze clocked down to about 1Ghz and i get pretty awesome battery life on it, upwards of 14 hours

Im supposed to get my amaze delivered today. Hope so. Ive had my gs2 for about a week. Its a very good phone. Takes a while to get used to the big screen. (Coming from g2x). I cant yet compare it to the amaze, but like i said, its avgreat phone. Battery is ok, not great. Blazing fast. ( same hardware as amaze). Ics is ok but not quit there yet. Im running juggernaut 5.0 gb and it works great. As of now it has much more dev support. Do what you like, but i say, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

I actually received via ups. It had horrible screen bleed and froze everytime I tried to access accounts and sync. I didn't even install anything on it yet. Bummed. They are sending me another one.

And them sending you another one won't did the screen bleed, 99% of us have it...
I just turn it off when watching a movie or playing a game with lots of blacks.

As for which is better, its all personal preference. I prefer HTC someone else might prefer Samsung.
My friend at school as the SGII and also agree that the colors are over saturated, it just looks funny.

I have my amaze underclocked to 1.2ghz and I get around 14hrs of use. If I'm not playing games. And still no lag whatsoever.

Turn what off? The screen? How double watch a movie? I'm confused.

You're gonna have to hold both devices in your hand and use them for a day or two to decide... But since you say you're a fan of HTC, you should probably keep the Amaze. Both devices, in my opinion, are on par, but if I were you, I'd go for the SGS2 in a heartbeat since it's more to my liking

adamboyd83 · Apr 13, 2012

Seeing as I left the GS2 for the Amaze I can say that i think I made the better choice. This phone is much more pocketable. We may have screen bleed from the bottom but that is an easy fix. The GS2 has blotches and streaks in the screen that cannot be fixed. The camera on the amaze is a lot better.

I like My Amaze and I will be keeping it to at least the fall for when my upgrade is available.

LostInTheMuzik · Apr 13, 2012

The amaze is garbage it has a horrible screen, washed out pics, battery life is a joke...i had mines for one day and turned that crap back in for a gs2, the gs2 isnt perfect it feels cheap cause of so much plastic but other than that and the camera everything beats the amaze

But I'm not here to bash anybody everybody has their own opinion, youtube reviews if that would help

porkchopexpress · Apr 13, 2012

Just hold both in your hand at a Tmo store and play with them, and decide which one you like best. For most people either phone is going to be a perfectly fine phone for everyday use, it all just comes down to personal preference.

sunlaw2 · Apr 22, 2012

About the same.
Some videos are better on sgs2,some are better on amaze.
I was retesting both side by side last night.I was on the sgs2 for a while,but when I woke up today...
I went back to the amaze.
Better for today atleast.
The amaze browser is just better.

Personally I just feel like the Amaze has better build quality, and doesn't feel as cheap and plasticy.
