@ phonedog Hey Aaron Have you talked about how different the aspect ratios are between these two devices? I like the way that the 480 x 800 display is a bit wider than the HTC Amaze's Qhd display. It just seems to make web browsing easier, having some extra width. I think Qhd is a little long for me

I agree with your declared winner, here. I thought you were gonna go with the Amaze, since you were so very impressed with it's build quality over the GSII. But the power and the display of the GSII definitely can't be overlooked. Although I'd prefer an Exynos version not on AT&T, if you know what I mean. Good video as always...

@rocklover3300 The T mobil version of the GS2 runs on the snap dragon also, but the difference is that its running a lower resolution compared to the amaze. That is why it bench marked higher, but you cannot deny that the GS2 still runs noticeably smoother (but the at&t and sprint GS2 is smoother still). If the T mobil version had the Exynos processor, the Amaze would've gotten curb stomped.

@xXstalkinyourmomXx I switched from TMobile to Sprint; there are pros & cons. On Sprint, you get unlimited data without any fees or throttling. However, Sprint's WiMax is by far the slowest "4G" speed out there. Also, WiMax works much better outdoors than it does indoors (in many places indoors, it does not work). If you spend most your time outdoors & "4G" speed is important to you, Sprint may be a good switch. Also, WiMax does not work while you are in motion (i.e. riding in a car, bus, etc.).

Also at 4:10 he clicks the web browser on the GS2 first, yet the Amaze loads quicker, both on 4G. To me, it looks like the display is clearer and the device is faster. Like I said earlier, I own both of these, and the GS2 does lag sometimes.

Check 4:03. In real world use (I own both of these phones), GS2 has a blue hue on white screens, this seems to plague all AMOLED Samsung Phones. After using both phones for weeks, The Amaze has more acurate color, yet the Amoled is Higher Contrast. Both are good, just depends on opinion. I like the true color over Contrast. Also, on auto bright, the galaxy is actually dimmer-Compared my GS2 and a friends, both were far dimmer on auto than Amaze- But Amaze Eats Batteries, no joke.

Benchmarks lie because the Amaze only uses one processor for apps unless the app demands using the other while SG2 uses both processors all of the time. Since benchmarks are not fully compatible with Dual-Core phones yet you only get half the real power of the Amaze.

@KRISHAUN27 HTC always has better design quality -- no one is arguing that. I'd give up the weight and thinness of my GS2 for HTC's aluminum builds. I also like HTC Sense cause it looks nicer (although I'm digging the TW 4.0). But how well it functions matters the most to me, and Samsung is the winner. In the past year and a half, they've had industry-leading performance on their phones. GS2 came out six months ago, and there's still not an Android phone with a better processor or battery life.

@xXstalkinyourmomXx I would not recommend you making the switch over from T-Mobile to AT&T. First off, your bill WILL be more expensive. Secondly, T-Mobile's customer service is MUCH better than AT&T's. The biggest point is that as a T-Mobile customer, if you exceed your monthly data limit, they will just throttle your speed and make it slow. AT&T has a 2GB data cap, and if you exceed that, you get a stiff financial penalty.
