So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

My Phone is for benchmarking only, too!
Man put TouchWiz on the Sensation and have a look again! Sense is huge! And the g2x is not faster
Have you used the g2x it blows the sstion out speed wise and i have a sensation its just faster but I don't know why I wanna keep my sensation because like i said the specs are better nobody wants to say it but we all know the Tegra2 has the uperhand ....

g2x has too many problems. I wanted to love g2x over sensation but it put me down with all the issues.

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

The main reason you want to trade the Sensation for a G2x is their Quadrant scores? Really?
Sensation doesnt need him.. Would end up making a thread cuz he bricked it anyway.. Benchmarks mean nothing and if your so in love with the samsung ya should get it

I'v been using the galaxy s2 since propably a week after it came out..and I can say this phones is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
I hardly get the random reboots ever. And currently there are a lot of updates.
And in terms of specs im sure the galaxy s2 is better as it has more ram, alot more storage and the exynos chipset is also faster. It also has super amoled plus.. or are you after the tegra version?? :l I suggest i9100

i just came from the g2x and i wouldnt go back too many problems you have to mod that phone heavily to make everything work, the only problem i have now with my sensation i got today is the video camera? does any mode record in 30fps cause its not working on mine
Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.
Keep your sensation

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.
I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?
It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I would get a Sensation 4G. G2X has to many problems, and the SGS4G is kinda dated.
Sensation. Easily the best choice. Dual core, 768mb RAM, great looks, reasonable battery life, great overclock.
G2x. All of em are good now!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I am really torn... know they are all great phones... the SGS4G has an amazing screen, the G2X has stock AOSP so no need to root, but the Sensation has the rocking hardware and great screen size....

Lg can't make a phone to save themselves. I've said many a time they should just stick to tvs.
G2x is awesome on paper but as stated above is very buggy.

Hahaha thank you Master Jimmah. Actually I'm kind of leaning toward the Sensation, mostly for the screen size. Not sure about the locked bootloader, though.

Not just screen size. A higher resolution than most. Being rooted is exploding atm, new **** everyday. Htc can make a phone, that's for sure.

G2X is not a bad phone--the hardware is definitely not lacking and it's running near-vanilla android! BUT the software's been known to be plagued with crippling bugs. If you know you're going to be flashing over CM7 or some other ROM, then G2X wouldn't be a bad choice.
Sensation is overall more stable and better built, but perhaps not as zippy (unless you again flash custom ROMs)

Lol that's really bad timing. They say the HTC Ruby will also be released on that same day and will outspec the sensation with a 1.5 ghz dual core. That could have been an option as well.

the ruby is an oversized tampon in my honest and humble opinion.
uses same processor as sensation (just not undervoltaged) and got 256 megs more RAM (which is nice) + its fat and white...
Check this out. Since when did the sensation have a 4.5 inch amoled touchscreen?
Come on Walmart, really?!
At least they didn't call it a Droid
whoa, this is a big mistake.
Maybe Samsung and HTC joined forces and made this phone just for walmart

I had a g2x before I got my Sensation and it was alright. I just couldn't understand how the two phone could have almost the same size shell but the g2x screen was so much smaller. It has alot of wasted space. Plus u have a thing for HTC phones. But if you really like AOSP then go for it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
If youre lucky, youll fing one without random reboots and unnoticeable screen bleeding then youll have a blazing fast phone, cause they are wth a custom Rom.
I have my g2x on the market now its a great phone and I have no problems I just like the peace of mind from htc and the bigger screen of the sensation
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I gave up my g2x for a sensation no regrets
I have the sensation and I like it, I think it's better Than the G2x overall. However I tried the g2x in a tmobile store a few days ago while I was paying my bill, and I must say that the phone speed is ridiculously fast. Anybody who really wants a fast phone should get the g2x. Apps open sooooooo fast it's not even funny. I was blown away personally.

i love my g2x but i miss sense i would trade mine straight up for a sensation...
Contract is up, been offered an HTC sensation for £21per month, 24 month contract, 600min, 500mb, unlimited texts. Highly tempted, but the phones been out for a while now and I know others with much better processors will be out soon. What to do!? Would you guys still recommend this phone at this time?
What would you do?
Cheers
Depends, the new phones that do come out will probably be quite expensive at launch.
But that should push the price of the Sensation down further. The contract you're being offered is pretty good though.
I do recommend the Sensation but if I were you, I'd wait a few weeks and see if the price drops further with the launch of new devices.
Thanks for your message, I've been with my HTC Desire for a while now, the Sensation should be quite an upgrade anyway. Any major disadvantages of the Sensation compared with other phones? Most reviews I read are quite generic.
you should wait man the sensation has death grip issues also dust under the screen and overheating issues the phone is also bulky wait quad core phones are about to release.

no death grip here either. For me this phone hasnt had any real downsides. great development, great help, really nice hardware. My worst problems include that the screen can be scratched despite being gorilla glass and the back cover has HTC glued on and some people have had it fallen off. Plus the new phones may have quad core but that just means more battery usage plus who on here other devs are gonna use/need 4 cores?

I never buy phones right after they're released, they are usually overpriced at the launch. £21 is a good offer but if money is not an issue for you I'd go for galaxy nexus. Prices are already down and you can get a good deal. Quad core is just a gimmick, you'll not even notice a difference.
