SGS2 vs Sensation for reading text

[GilbertGrape]

Text = mainly the Bible.

Is the higher resolution of the sensation going to make reading much easier on the eye? If so, is it that much better that it should sway me toward getting the sensation?

What about web browsing. Which will offer me a more enjoyable experience?

I'm torn between these two phones, with the LG Black running in 3rd, due to it's Nova display. Not really an option for me to try these before purchasing.

Thanks.

The SGS2 has a great display. I have not seen the Sensation display yet, but its qHD doesn't have the Pentile layout that compromises the sharpness like in certain Motorola phones. I love my SGS2 but I got a feeling the Sensation would have an edge here in terms of text sharpness and clarity.

As for browsing, I am in the opinion the SGS2 is slightly faster based on browser benchmarks but those numbers are not meaningful in real time situations.

You won't fail on both, but for you, my opinion is the Sensation slightly ahead of the finish line.

The higher resolution means more text / data fit in the same size screen, thus the content is actually smaller.

So if you want larger text, then SGS2 is the superior phone.

Check the text in this browser performance review video and you can clearly see the Galaxy S2 has a better text display.

Wow that video seems convincing in the Galaxy S2's favor. At least for web browsing.

You need to consider screen size and pixel density -- not just resolution. I'd highly recommend comparing in person for this sort of question. Screen tech can also affect readability.
