Hello.
I'm searching for a phone right now.
I'm thinking about buying the G2x but I was wondering if you guys can show me something better ?
I want a fast smartphone, reliable, powerful ?
Budget is unlimited.
Thank you
G2X is a very good phone. But if you're willing to wait a couple of weeks for the Galaxy S 2 to come out you should get that.
Thanks for replying.
The Galaxy S2 will be like.. 4.5" for Tmobile and that's too big for me ;/ !
Like which is better: TMobile G2x, Htc Sensation or MyTOuch 4G Slide ?
I can also consier other phones from tmobile.
I really to buy this tonight !
Thanks

I've read outstanding comments about the MyTouch 4G Slide. The camera is suppose to be the best there is on any phone. And the audio quality is suppose to be superior. But I myself don't like thick phones, which slide out keyboards make.
The Sensation is definitely better than the LG phone and looks and feels better...to me. But the SGS2 would be the best one to get. I thought for a long time that 4.3" is the biggest I would want to go in a phone. But I gave a Samsung Infuse a good try and found my new maximum size increased to 4.5". It was excellent. The SAMOLED+ and Samsung's thin phones are worth it. You would be glad to have an SGS2. The sound quality will be the best there is and the camera will probably rival the MyTouch 4G Slide. The battery life will be better too.
If you need a phone right now I would pick the Sensation. Mytouch 4G Slide if you really want the camera, but like MartyLK I don't like thick phones.
+1 for Samsung Galaxy S 2.
It might not have the CPU of G2x but it has more RAM and so multi-tasking would be pretty smooth.
Since you have an unlim budget and if you are willing for new models to come out, look for these specs.
1GHz+ processor. 1GB RAM. 4G. Preferably a dual core 1GHz and 1GB RAM.
3D phones have the cool factor. However, I personally don't think they are worth it.u
That's about it.
I would also go with Sensation!
Actually, if it worth it, I can wait for the Galaxy S II.
When is it being relased ?
But 4.5" is not too big ?
I would recommend SGSII as well.
Last time I heard, it has a 4.3" display.

It's out of question. The OP wants a good device. Not a cheap or budget device. Non of the Optimus phones(except Optimus 3D, Optimus Black and Optimus 2X... or rather the expensive models in Optimus series.. ) can run Flash.. as they are all ARMv6.
我觉着吧，htc g14蛮不错的~
I have as u can see LG 2x and device is great, my friend have SGS2 And i can tell u that multitasking browsing net loading apps is the same speed. But LG is so mych better in games(cuz of nVidia gpu) . On sgs2 display is much better and battery managment us also better. U should buy sensation only for looks and sensUI. Thats my opinion

Which one do you guys suggest? Which phone is better long-term?
I just want a phone that's worth getting on a 2 year contract.
If you have any better suggestions for me, Please only suggest phones between Sprint and Tmobile.
Thanks.

Sprint is getting the Nexus S 4g.

Either phone you're gonna have terrible battery life. Galaxy S devices, 4 inch super amoled screen, plus 4g.
The Galaxy S 4G is nice but app storage is low. The Evo is far worse long term.. it launched in June and it was already lagging behind the competition a month later. It's processing power is way below that of the Galaxy S 4G.

Core for core, Snapdragon is actually faster than Cortex A8. Now it's the rest of the chip that you need to look at, such as the powerVR chip inside hummingbird being faster than the Adreno chip inside Snapdragon. Really though, their performance cpu vs cpu you'll only really notice a difference in synthetic benchmarks like linpack. Dev community is amazing for the Evo.

Really? Benchmarks or real world performance? Because the Evo can't even handle TeamLava games without falling on it's face at the stock 1GHz clock.

Hi,
The major difference between these two smartphone is “Data network”, Evo use “4G/WiMAX network” (Sprint) and Samsung Galaxy S use “3G GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HDMA” (T-Mobile). The screen size of Evo 4G is greater than Samsung Galaxy’s screen. Evo has 8mp camera and Galaxy has 5mp. Due to these features, my vote goes to “HTC Evo 4G”.
i like samsung more

Everyone and their grandmother knows that Samsungs 5MP camera is a billion years better than Evo's 8MP camera. You're one of those megapixel numbers persons...bigger number, better shooter.
Your lack of knowledge in that area alone disqualifies anything else you have to recommend.
Also WTH is "HDMA" ?
evo 4g all the way good pal
Thanks for your information
The modding community of the Evo is unmatched by the Galaxy S.
Also, the interface is much much better than Samsung's.
Galaxy have better resolution! ...
who cares what anybody thinks,they're both great phones with great features,just decide if you want to choose by phone or carrier and pick the one u like more ,simple....
Is sensation really good ? Does it have problems like g2x ? I have mytouch 4G now. Not sure to wait for Samsung Hercules or get HTC sensation ? What would you guys do ? Please share
Obviously asking this question in the Sensation forum is going to be biased toward the Sensation. I'd get the Sensation....but I'm not you and don't know your situation.

I have the G2x and the Sensation and while they both have tremendous potential they both have multiple issues. I would wait for Hercules as I am going to sell one of the two or both and purchase the Hercules.
buy or wait?
There will always be a newer/better phone that will be out within 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months of buying your next phone. You have to ask yourself a different question, which phone will have the features I need and will really use? If you are simply holding out for the best phone right now you will be disappointed and frustrated and not fully happy with your next purchase. I love the Sensation. I waited for months to get it and I am happy with my purchase. I have always rooted my android phones to use unavailable features on stock phones like; the wifi tethering with my laptop and tab. This is already built in and available the moment you buy it. ATT and Sprint and Verizon charge for this feature. BOOOOO! Good for T-Mo while it lasts. The phone is responsive, comes loaded with useful apps and widgets, it's sexy and fun to play with I have Netflix working on it (so do many others, I did not invent the wheel), hbo-go, and other streaming apps that work great on the sensation. The camera is decent enough for me not to carry a dedicated camera for photos and videos. For me, I use multimedia daily, and this phone meets my needs. I was buying every new phone that came out and was never satisfied. The sensation is a good buy, the hercules will be out in the next 2-3 months and by then there will be another phone with even better specs that will leave you drooling. I am sure it will be a great phone too.
I was really excited about the announcement of the Hercules and besides the GPS problem, I loved my Vibrant(wife has it now). But IMO, as nice as Sammys designs are(I don't like the design of the Sensation) they make the bezel too big.
My sensation is just as big as my Vibrant even though it has a 4.3 inch screen. I've always hated the added real estate which is why I chose the Sensation over the gx2. If the infuse is any idication of how big the Hercs going to be, I might pass on it and see what comes out next year. Besides, I love the weight of my HTC. I hated how light my Vibrant was even though that thing was literally indestructable.
First off ask yourself the question cause only you can decide ,if you like bland vanilla and super amolded screens then go with Samsung, if you like widgets and eye candy then sensation is the one ....all phones with this much horsepower have issues and I mean all ,once bootloader is unlocked on sensation you'll have the speed to go with the looks ,and if you're not interested in flashing then you still got a great device , but like mentioned earlier after the Hercules there will be something better 3 months later ,it will never end
simply put:
4.3" qHD >>>> 4.5" WVGA
So far all of the information leaked about the Hercules shows that its not using the exynos soc. Just some food for though. The waiting game does suck though because something better will come out after the Hercules. That's just the way it is.

Yep, it's rumored to be using the APQ8060, which is the same as the MSM8260 without the integrated HSPA radio. This is probably because the Hercules will have 42 Mbps HSPA+ connectivity and it will need a separate radio for this and that the Exynos SoC is already in limited quantity (some SGS II variants will have the Tegra 2).

Which I why I got the Sensation. Pixel density FTW.
Cannot wait for the HTC unlock. Need to cleanse bloatware.
I love the resolution on this phone. Can't go wrong with qHD, it makes the Sensation that much more beautiful.

I won't go with a Samsung again after having the vibrant. Samsung is the slowest company to come out with updates.

The killer feature on the Hercules is that 42mbps speed. The usb radios that are out are getting speeds that rival Verizon's LTE.
On the down side (for me) is that with a 4.5 inch screen and that Samsung bezel it is going to be a huge phone - nudging into small tablet territory. Battery life will also be tricky.
At the moment I'm not willing to trade a great svelte HTC design for a faster Sammy slab. But we'll see when it comes out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Given some of the deals we've seen for the Sensation... I'd definitely lean in that direction. 4.5" is pushing it for me, and the qHD is nicer than I originally thought it would be.
I hope there will be good support from the community with custom Roms.. How are the chances for that to happen?
The Sensation is like the Desire... huge Dev support
It is a great Phone and there will be as much People like in the Desire section ... so much support from the Dev´s
The Sensation is just great! I would never take a samsung instead of an HTC.... Sense is too great and the bigger Resolution is so nice! You feel it very much and movies are just wow on this phone! And the Sound! Great!
Just a Multimedia Talent..... I would not wait if i am able to use this phone! I will never miss something like this phone!
Just great! There are little mistakes but Touch Wiz ist just crap!

Although it will technically be capable of those speeds, I doubt it will come anywhere near those speeds. The sensation should be able to hit 11Mbs theoretically but the fastest i've had it download was 7.9Mbs. I'm sure the Hercules will be closer to 11Mbs speeds in real world.

They just updated half their Android line up to 2.3.4 in the past two months. They've updated the SGS2 four times and a fifth update to 2.3.4 is due out by the end of the month. There's a difference between getting updates directly from Samsung and having to be dependent on your U.S. carrier to get them out. The global Sensation's are being updated now. Let's see how long it takes T-Mobile to push the U.S. update.

It should get 20 mbps with ease if you're in an area that supports that connectivity. T-Mobile demonstrated those type of speeds using a data stick.
soon there will be a samsung amoled hd screen soon and thats my new phone.
Hello everyone i would like to get ur opinion regarding these handsets
samsung s 4g, wife and I owen this one
htc sensation, considering
Tmobile lg2gx, considering
pros and cons from my options
probably best to just google [this phone] vs [this phone] to see all of the unbiased head to heads.
personally id keep the gs4g over both of them simply because of the super amoled display and camera optics. even though the hummingbird core is a little over a year old, its still a beast amongst the dual core phones that are out right now.
ive played with a sensation and a evo3d and found the gs4g to be considerably faster then them. HTC Sense looks great but slows down those devices alot
Wife had a g2x and it wad some crap. I mean some crap.

Go to youtube and check Phonedog and Wirefly. They have reviews of those phones already and they'll put up comparisons between them soon enough.
If you just want our opinions though, I would say HTC Sensation, hands down. It's practically a SGSII but available for T-Mobile.
I'm not sure if I can post these links like this, but here's they are:

Huh?? The galaxy s2 wipes the floor with the sensation. Only thing better about it is the display is higher res. There isn't any phone out that can match the performance camera optics size or screen quality of it. Not saying the sensation isn't a great device...but its CERTAINLY no s2
Sent from my DAMN FO-GEE!!!
First some history. Im currently using a Desire HD and switching from sense to CM7 back in forth once in a while so custom ROMs are a must.
Previous to that had a nexus one.
My main requists are the following
Flashable ROMs
good battery life
Good overall performance
Good reception and call qaulity
Good speaker
Screen at lease 4"
Must take MicroSD (I have a 32gig and I spent 100$ to get it so I want to use it)
Im looking to get a new phone and im pretty much down to the following 4 choices which are currently available to me in Canada
LG Optimus 2X
LG Optimus 3D
HTC EVO 3D
Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G
Samsung Galaxy S II 4G
HTC Sensation 4G
MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G
MOTOROLA XT860 4G
Now in terms of price they are all give or take about the same. Specs wise the atrix still looks like a good buy especially now that bootloader is unlocked. 1 gig of ram 16gig internal plus external etc but from what I hear the screen isnt one of the best out there and due to the higher pixel count speed on the CPU takes a hit.Battery is huge which is a big plus
In general I think the 3D thing is just a gimmick so that's no big deal for me as long as the 5megapixel is semi decent
I could care less about full keyboards as im used to screen ones now
In general I tend to avoid LG due to past issues but the optimus 2 has some good reviews out there.
As for Samsung ive known a few people who say changing roms is harder then lets say on HTC devices.
So any opinion would be appreciated.
So in order here are my priorities with these
Reception
Voice quality
Battery life
Ease of rom installation and support
Good speaker
Good overall CPU performance
Screen size
Good cam 5MP and up
Dont care if its HSPA+ or whatever. Never get above 3Mbps on my network anyways

But the battery is pretty small for a device with qHD and 4.3 screen also in my general experience Sense looks night but takes allot of potential out of the CPU compared to CM7 or base android.
Also it has less internal storage and RAM then some of the other devices as well
But AFAIK,battery backup is wayy better in sensation compared to sgs 2 although both r dual core...!
N btw,stock roms tend to take a hell lot of ram...customs roms uses wayy less ram..
N hell yeah,memory is a bit f problem unless u root it..
N btw,nothing can touch d samoled screen f sgs2,but one has to consider other things too...

Well from the looks of xda its easy to root the GS2
as for battery I see Mugen has a 3200mah battery but would distroy the look of the phone.

At this point I think im leaning towards SGII seems specs are as good if not better then Atrix and battery is bigger then the Sensation
You won't regret your choices on any of the phones you listed but I would go with the: Samsung Galaxy S II 4G. I have one & it's awesome. Check out the SGSII forums to see what ROMs & other goodies you can get if you decide to get a SGSII.

Battery life is awesome & I've been using Cognition since it's release. It's easy peezy hence why I love it so much. I use to have a HTC Inspire & it was a pain in the beginning but easy after I made a successful gold card.
Love at first sight and then buy
Expected to come google-motorola... joked I say we go into the store and buy what you like it.

Definitely judging by my hands on experience HTC or Motorola!
Id say the sensation 4g, in my opinion.
Thanks for all the replies
Sensation, or ATRIX+dock.
htc make amazing phones.. I bought the desire a year ago and it performs like a rock! and rocks do perform, it's known
I would suggest the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G.
The battery life is solid, it's very easy to root (check out its forum).
The camera is awesome, and the screen can't be beat.
Go for it.
Find dock is a waste of money. Leaning towards SGS2. Other then the battery on the atrix the specs beat all the others. Don't need qhd as that takes away from the cpu for nothing in my view

Would you like to buy USED phone?Then you can buy used Senation which is a Dual core,ICS running device.Not only Sensation,but also have some used dual core phone.
OR
You just wanna a MyTouch 4G?Me too currently using MyTouch 4G.I love it..haha.I dont think that you can find Brand New Mytouch 4G.But check eBay first..
Hmmm. I really prefer new ones. I found some for $282... refurb for 238.. But I'd like more suggestions like this phone, can be maded by other brands. I saw Sensation and it costs a bit more.
I saw Galaxy S but I think mytouch 4g is a few better, and galaxy s is a more expensive.
I wouldn't go for a refurbished phone if I were you. I prefer paying a little more and not having to worry about anything.
Maybe you could take a look on a Nexus S (not Galaxy Nexus), all my friends have great experiences with their devices.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hmmm... Galaxy Nexus S seems to be a nice phone really. But it's a bit expensive than mytouch 4g. Nexus S used is the same price of a Mytouch4g new.
I don't know mobile processors, but the speeds are the same and Mytouch4g has a bit more ram memory (768mb x 512mb), but it has a better screen (S AMOLED vs LCD)
Don't know if high memory is needed, but maybe I'll consider an used nexus s.
Thanks!
Hello,
Personally i would suggest the HTC Incredible S or the Samsung Galaxy 2.
The Incredible S isn't that expensive anymore and with newer software things are working very well. However, it has just a single core 1 ghz processor but the camera and storage capacity are very nice.
The one i prefer is the Samsung Galaxy S2. Because of the new S3, i think that this current device will lower in price and it has a dual core processor!
Good luck,
Greetings Arjan
Personally i would suggest the HTC One S ATM. Beautiful, smooth, aggressive and .. HTC. Good compromise in my opinion
Thanks for your suggestions. I think these phones are still expensive to my wallet. Maybe I'll wait to see if prices will be lower or get the Mytouch 4g. Maybe wait a month to see if prices get lower.
