S2 better.. 
if u like to try the 3D fon how 3D... then go for Evo 3D... very nice fon

Because if you bother to see this siggy you'll know that he's a phone seller & for sure he has pretty much used tried all the latest phones.

XE is just some hardware minor upgrade from sensation, like 1.5ghz proc ,4gb memory & batter capacity increase 
appearenace is still the same...

yes, sure worth.. not so fast i think... mayb 2 more mth later

better spec than s2..

yes, hav 1 good then no 2 good lah. 

Good at this bad at that. Every phone has its own ups and downs.

+1.

There is no such thing as a perfect phone.

Both also good
But sensation xe better than s2 in music quality (maybe due corporate with beats)
And processor and battery
but it just announce, not so fast release
If u ntut rush then wait, otherwise s2
Or if u can wait, wait for nexus prime

All white versions are I9100G, u can check out the differences between I9100 and I9100G in their official thread. Not so cheap lar the price, at least 1.5k and above. But galaxy note seems to be a better choice since it got pen. S2 dun think got come with pen, but not sure if the galaxy note pen works on s2

Note @ 2020 ap 2300 ori 
s2 @ 1690 ap 1850 ori

Your friend got budget there..i think u already got the answer..go for note la 
S2 used set u can get it at 1.3 k
