Qualcomm says that both cores are being used when browsing websites. No mention on whether the GPU is involved. So, what you guys are saying is that the GS2 uses both cores and the gpu to render a website? Sounds like that would drain the battery in a hurry. I have watched quite a few other videos where browsing performance was tested, and in many of the tests it was almost too close to call or the Sensation even won. Also, when he complains about that the Sensation isn't scrolling smooth or fast enough, I have seen videos where it does it just as fast as the GS2. Either way, the difference in performance is negligible and you get to see more of your website on the Sensation due to its higher resolution. In my opinion, all you get with the GS2 is black blacks, more cartoony extra bright colors, a better viewing angle (that matters with a TV much more than with a phone, since as the holder of the phone you always have the best seat in the house), and higher benchmark scores. Real world performance of the browser on a mobile network will vary greatly, and if one phone displays a website 2 seconds faster than the other one...well, I am not going to loose any sleep over it.
