Galaxy Note and Sensation XE are the best according to me.
And iphone 4s is also good.

Just voted for Galaxy SII. But iPhone isn't much behind. Gets back placemas iOS 5 could have been better and also it's stuck with a smaller screen

SG SII is bench mark for any dual core smartphones.
Maybe SIII can set a new bench mark.... But hey, is it a quadcore ?

SIII specs are completely rumours. nothing fixed. It was supposed to have it. and also 2GB+ RAM. Lets see what comes when it launches ;-)

S3 most likely will have specs like dual core @ 1.5-1.8Ghz, ~4.6" HD display, 1-1.5Gb LPDDR3 ram, 12-13Mp cam and powered by ICS. thats why S3 is delayed further. Most likely Samsung is not getting good yield of the 28nm Exynos to be used on S3.

Sony is also ready with its dual core monster XPERIA S. And I am sure that it can beat all other dual core phone mentioned above.

Note for me.. The thing is a mini laptop!!! Damn powerful. With the overclocked chipset and higher battery backup, Note wins over GSII for me :).
iPhone graphics beats all, and the OS with Siri is top notch, but i am totally not up for Apple products.. so not voting. Waiting for iPhone 5 to blow my mind though.. seen the project fan made videos and they are awesome.. :p
GSIII will in all probablility not be using A15 cores, as the production is supposed to have started in October, its more likely be a quad Exynos at 28/32nm or an over clocked 28nm Exynos dual. I guess and hope the former :D. Its all just rumours. Butit would more or less similar to what Sam said. Anyways.. we are months away from its availability.. lots of new kids will be roaming the block by then.. :p Just wait till MWC this month... ;)
Btw... any idea whats the gpu in NovaThor.. whatever is inside the Xperia S is it a Mali 400?

I would go for HTC Sensation XE. Rest all the dual core phones that i used were not up to the mark and some has low battery back-up speed or some have low bandwidth problem. But this is the mobile that i found appropriate in every respect.

^^ Everyone has their personal preferences, but I want to know which other dual cores did u compared it with?
I personally havent used the XE as such, but while using Samsung SII and Note, i never felt any lag, and they were more than capable in terms of connectivity inside India. Battery is... well not sure how they compare against a XE, but capacity wise the Samsung models win against HTC. So, unless ur from Australia or something.. :)) any dual core in the range of 25+ INR is well covered in all available grounds. Its all upto personal tastes and usage priorities... :)

Can Note really be considered a phone just because you can make calls with it? It's too big to be considered a phone.

Note is not too big actually.. I roamed about yesterday with it in my jeans pocket... I was worried the hell that it would break.. but actually fitted quite nicely.. :) It still cant be used with one hand!

Maybe I'm going offtopic here but can somebody explain whether there is any advantage of having a dualcore proccy on a phone other than for gaming?
Does any app designed for a phone really need a dual core proccy?

Useful for running multiple apps, say one core runs the music player and another core does other stuff, like sending text, reading documents etc, more cores mean parallel processing.

a 10k Android mobile can do similar multitasking. more cores = the UI is smooth with all those bloatware themes applied over stock Android. 1080p video recording & dual core usually comes with better GPU hence better gaming.

The Sensation XE offers Beats Audio sound enhancement to boost the listening experience. It is available only when you plug in your Monster headphones. There are no other equalizer presets, just Beats Audio or HTC Enhancer.
Unfortunately you can't listen music without something "enhancing" your songs. If you don't use the Beats Audio, you'll find the HTC preset really awful. So, you either listen music with Beats Audio and headset combo, or you don’t. You can use whatever headset you like, but it just won't be the same.
this is really stupid i must say on HTC's part
