If you are in the market for a dual core phone,  it means for some reason or other you want the fastest phone money can buy. So, lets start there which is the fastest?

  • 512MB RAM 

HTC Sensation

  • 768MB RAM 

Samsung Galaxy S II

Synthetic Benchmarks. Our favorite source of mobile phone information, GSM Arena has benchmarked the LG Optimus 2x, the HTC Sensation or Samsung Galaxy S II. 

In five out of six benchmarks the Samsung Galaxy S II is the fastest, with a tie with the HTC Sensation in one benchmark. As against the LG Optimus 2x, the Samsung Galaxy S II rules all the benchmarks.

  • Galaxy S II versus Sensation (won-loss-draw): 5-0-1
