Behold the newest addition to our known entries into the dual-core category for Android smartphones, the HTC Sensation. Of course that means that it’s time for a battle, yes? We’ve got the Galaxy S II (or Galaxy S 2, however you want to write it,) and the ATRIX 4G in the ring as well, all looking for a piece of the gaming and/or productivity action. Each dual-core phone can handle hella data – but can they handle each-other? Let the bell ringing begin!
This is going to be a specs-only battle with a tiny bit of pazazz here or there – like would you rather be running TouchWiz 4.0 or the newest version of Sense? Or maybe you’re Motorola Motoblur all the way. Then there’s those of you who plan on ripping the face off your phone the moment you’ve got it in your hands – for you folks, there’s the following fight. Clash!

truth
Thats a hell of a display resolution on the Atrix. Me thinks its wrong.
lol yes – edited
Please get your facts right about motorola atrix’s screen resolution. its qHD same as htc sensation.

The Atrix also has a PenTile screen, iirc. I’m not sure about the Sensation, but I don’t think Super LCD screens come in PenTile.
methinks you’re right. added pentile spec
i was under the impression that the Galaxy S II has Gorilla Glass, too?

Same for the Atrix, I think… if not, then I better be getting a screen protector before something happens to mine!

yep. gorilla glass
And the winner is?
For me the Atrix of course, and here’s why:
1. Badass battery
2. Smaller footprint with increased resolution (which translates in better pixel density to achieve sharper images)
3. Gorilla Glass (according to my sources)
yep, gg
Atrix sucks because of this: http://androidcommunity.com/atrix-bootloader-gets-locked-down-no-custom-roms-20110222/
Hello crappy GPU.
Hello crappy GPU.
Galaxy S still has my attention above the others.
What about: Atrix bootloader gets locked down, no custom ROMs ? http://androidcommunity.com/atrix-bootloader-gets-locked-down-no-custom-roms-20110222/
Is it still true that the bootloader gets locked down?
Funny you didn’t say anything about the GPUs. Which is far more important than CPU. GPUs directly translate into overall smoothness. I already know the Tegra2 GPU is at the bottom but how does HTCs compare to the Exynos?

Looks like the Atrix is now the best phone out of the 3. Tegra 2 gpu trumps the sgs and sensation. All tablets are equipped with tegra 2. Most phones are also equipped with tegra 2 except the trying hard sgs and laughable sensation. Atrix gingerbread comes in a few days and is getting an unlocked bootloader together with it and is paired with a monster battery. Atrix is the best phone in the world. Period.
In terms of benchmarks the Tegra 2 isn’t faster than the other two (well it is ONLY in gpu benchmarks), the samsung cpu is a bit faster
