Currently the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the best Android phone without contest but it is likely the Galaxy Nexus will dethrone it when it is released in the near future.
How is the Sensation rehash better than the SGS2?I'd say the HTC Amaze is better than the Galaxy S2.

Well with Tmobile at least, they have the same processor. In fact, they are basically identically aside from the screen. I'd rather have the higher-res qLcd sqreen then a lower res samoled screen. Reviews seem to say the screen on the Amaze is better when you compare both devices. Everything I read also indicates that the Amaze camera is better - where do you see that the S2 camera is better?
I don't have either device.. I was going to get the S2, then decided the Amaze was better, than decided to just stick with my current phone.

I would actually say they both have good cameras. I am amazed HTC finally put in a good camera however I love HTC, but they have never been one known for their camera. I also forgot we are discussing 2 T-Mobile phones in which case yeah the T-Mobile S2 is lacking compared to the rest of the S2s. Looking at photos from both, my only complaint is it looks like the HTC has more color than normal making it look a bit off to me.
I think the MyTouch 4G slide (maybe all MyTouch 4G?) is still considered one of the best smartphone cameras anywhere, right? that is HTC, and has been around since June, at least?
Although it's not as stunning as the Samsung Vibrant, the handset's 5-megapixel auto-focus camera manages to take some average looking photos. In sunny conditions outdoors, it produces some neutral levels of detail that should suffice, but clearly lacks any distinct sharp lines. Thankfully, color reproduction is rather good with its ability to process natural looking tones that aren't overly too saturated – while still offering a distinct difference between identical color gradients. In lower lighting conditions, the overall appearance of the images slightly diminishes as it offers less detail and bland looking colors. However, the LED flash actually does a good job in capturing photos as colors look more vivid with a little bit more sharpness to them. But it's a hit or miss mark as the handset attempts to auto-focus in complete darkness without the aid of the flash turning on for a bit. Nonetheless, the myTouch 4G's photo taking capabilities should appease the casual point and shoot users.
I always found the Samsungs to have a very cheap plasticky feel. I still ended up buying the SGS2X and I'm happy I did. I actually find that the handset feels very high quality, feels good holding it - the back is sort of textured so it's not slippery which is a very nice touch.
IMO you really can't go wrong with this phone, but I'm somewhat biased since I upgraded from a really crappy dumbphone.
The upcoming devices will trounce the SGS2 for sure but the difference will be negligible compared to dumbphone vs SGS2, so it really depends what you're upgrading from and if you're willing to wait a bit or not.
