Icredible S @ 16.7k vs sensation @ 20.8k...which one to go for

[slyfox]

Hi! i have an ebay coupon for 10% off till 24th april....i am stuck between incredible s @16.7k and sensation @20.8k (post discount). my budget is around 20k only if its worth the extra money.

I have never used any smartphones before...my primary use will be multimedia, internet only. (Haven't used any smartphones so not sure about how many apps i will be using). Gaming will be also very limited for me.

Please recommend me whether sensation is worth the 4k premium over incredible s.

Both are good phones in their own right. Though I have heard that Sensation has battery issues.
Other options include SE Neo V or the HTC One V which comes with ICS out of the box.
Since you say you are new to smartphones, why don't you try a Windows Phone like a Lumia 710 or Omnia W I8350.

my dad is using omnia w. i have used it only once (since i work in another city). i liked its interface but its just that i want to try another os.

i was looking at one V/neo v and found it has 512mb of ram whereas these two have 768mb. from my computer experience i have observed that ram is a way bigger factor to speed than clock speed of cpu.
screen size of incredible s/ sensation is bigger than neo v/ one v.
Camera seems better in incredible s/sensation.

if upgrading OS is not much of a difficult task then i am ok with older os.

Sensation any day but battery life is average.

Sensation has got better processor, bigger screen, better looks, Full HD video recording, bluetooth v3.0.
I think its worth the difference.
