I just noticed the MT4g doesnt have the physical KB, BTW, the ROMS for the Vibrant suck, and it is a plastic feel, no flash on camera.
I am looking for a Phone with a slider out KB and 4G

same here lol i love the mt4g and sammy is crap
Becareful men. I had the vibrant and the MT4G. It's kind of nice the feeling of the MT4G but:
The screen of the vibrant is way way way way better
The way that apps like angry birds, homerun and others show up in the vibrant is way way way better
The internal memory of the vibrant is 16gb way way way better than the MT4G
I have the MT4G but somedays I miss the vibrant... somedays not
The GPS on the Vibrant is way way way worse (incredibly inaccurate and borderline useless - that is, if you can even get it to work in the first place).
The Vibrant is way way way slower and laggier (due to the implementation of the RFS system).
The Vibrant is way way way less durable (due to the plasticky construction).
The Vibrant is made by Samsung, which is reason enough to stay away.
Yes, the Vibrant's screen is better, but that's about it. As far as internal memory is concerned, when you can put a 32GB microSD card into the MT4G, does it really matter?
Sorry abcdavidefg, I'm just messing around.
I've had the Vibrant and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I spent more time trying to make it function the way it should than actually enjoying it. In fact, that phone soured me perception of Samsung's mobile division. I should have listened to the warnings from the Behold II owners.

I agree completely, I have had the Vibrant, and yes the screen is great but I got a good mytouch 4g with the good screen and non-sticky power button. And the screen looks great. The better screen alone on the Vibrant is just not enough to cover all the other aspects, plus the colors are over saturated if you ask me.
Missing Front facing camera
NO LED FLASH!!!
NO usable GPS, look at my signature
Cheap feel, although it is quite durable when you drop it
LAG (stock out of the box)
as far as mytouch 4g
lower quality screen
lower quality glass to protect the screen (dropped vibrant several times, nothing, dropped mytouch 4g once, scratched the screen, although it looks more like a tiny chip)

lmaoooo that was just too funny. but i just traded my vibrant for a mt4g three days ago. i do miss the screen but i think ill live to get on without SAMOLED aka awesome screen
I think we need a sticky "NO Do not trade for a Vibrant!!!" thread
As I have said in many a Vibrant/Nexus S vs MT4G thread.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Damn, is the Vibrant that bad? I played with the Nexus S today and it's quite slow and lags a bit when you switch from apps to homescreens and such. I'm guessing it's the same on the Vibrant?
I own the Samsung Vibrant, and yes, everyone says about the phone is VERY true.
That is until you mess around with it. I've got a custom ROM going (thanks to eugene's kernel, we can port i9000 ROM's to our phone), and have done the GPS fix, and my phone is just amazing.
Sure it doesn't come amazing out of the box, but even if it did, I wouldn't keep it stock.

it'll be a nice 1 hour distraction. almost done with the comparison video. the software review was fantastic
really good review! can't wait to get it.
That Video made up my mind... Sensations SCreen is TOO washed out for me to get the phone.
Hard to belive it has a ****tier SLCD then my Inspire 4G.

How often are you going to post this on the forum? Besides LCD quality being impossible to gauge from a video: The much higher resolution is a really worthwhile bonus over your beloved Desire HD - Brandon Miniman, the videos narrator, seems pretty impressed with the Sensations screen sharpness and general quality (unboxing video, hardware review).
Pocketnow does very good reviews. Thanks for this. Brandon Miniman Tweeted "HTC Sensation doesn't feel as fast as Galaxy S 2" a couple days ago. I did not know what he meant. From what I see he was specifically referring to the web browsing. I don't mind that fraction of a second lag compared to the Galaxy S2. It is where the speed factor may impact apps running and other processes that he did not have a chance to get into that give me slight pause. Again, thanks.

Exactly I think Sense isn't fully optimzed for dual core...hence the low scores on Quadrant etc...
Great review ! I can't wait to get mine on the 20th Hopefully this beast would get rooted soon and its bootloader unlocked ! I can't wait to try out some of those tasty ROMS cooked by our devs which I am sure would make the Sensation faster

Those who have reviewed the Phone note right away how disapointing the screen is to the Inspire 4Gs.
TBH Inspire 4G's screen isnt that great... Cant imagine downgrading.
BTW: Can't belive some1 thanked you for Saying how higher resolution makes up for a ****ter screen.
Come on... What would you Pick... 1080p RGB LED Screen or a 1200p LED screen?
I Think the option is clear.
Please people... don't let a higher resolution be an excuse for a garbage screen.
Not a fan of HTC Sense at all, does anyone know if the Sensation is phenomenally faster if a "no-sense" ROM is used?
Can't wait to get my hands on the device, unlock (comeon bootloader!) and remove all that HTC crapware.
I have the SGS1 now and while it's a great phone, the flimsiness isn't very charming. The HTC Sensation is one of the most handsome handsets I've seen in awhile.
I have been reading the comments on the SGSII forum section here and there are a few posts the about the quality of screen or rather lack of. Even though the SAMOLED + is truly amazing the issues i have with my NexusOne such as banding, screen burning and image retention are still there.
This has made me think twice about getting a phone with a Samsung SAMOLED+ technology as it has clearly not matured enough for every day use.
I want to use the screen on my phone without the fear that if it is on for longer than 20 minutes it will retain the image.
I understand that SLCD is not the best either but it is the most mature technology for every day use at this moment in time. I just wish HTC has used a higher quality SLCD for the Sensation!

That is just not true, especially in light of this PocketNow-review in which Miniman talks about how he thinks that the screen seems pretty great, especially the sharpness.

Backlighting isn't the most important factor in computer displays - panel type, colour gamut, viewing angles are much more important. Most expensive quality monitors still use CCFL backlighting as it allows for better displays - the Dell U-Series, for example

I currently have a G2x that I think is pretty awesome and really fast but I have seen sense in the past and played a little with Sensation and really liked it.
I wanted to ask those of you that come from a G2x share if your experience is better or worse.
Things I would like to know:
-Screen, Is the qHD much better than the bright IPS? Are colors washed out?
-Camera, is the camera better on Sensation?
-Speaker/Earpiece, are they loud and clear?
-Earphones, good qualith sound?
-build quality, I've hold it in my hands but for like 10 mins, long term build quality, how good is it?
-Sense, I tried 3.0 but not 3.5 what are the improvements?
-Features, Does all the features just work? GPS, Wifi signal, reception, in call quality, wifi tethering, bluetooth?
I would Greatly appreciate if someone can answer my questions as I am interested in this phone and I really like Sense and all the customizations and devs support this phone is getting, since I will be sticking with this phone for a while and G2x is awesome however, it's got 0 support from LG and it's got a few devs but not near as many as in here.
Thanks again
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Screen: IMO its better than IPS, mainly because of the size of it. the colors arent washed out at all and its very crisp and vivid. intenet browsing is amazing and very easy to read
Camera: there are a few threads posting ppls pic, and yes, its fantastic, and 8mp pics look great on the phone screen and amazing on pc. 1080p video recording is top notch, and low (320x240) look good still, its what i use for quick videos to email, no complaints so far, and almost no blurring or ghosting in any res.
speaker/earpiece: the speaker is good quality sound, as is the earpiece (especially when in Dolby) but the only problem is with the htc kernels capped the volume, so its never as loud as it should be. i reommend app "volume+".
build: one word. Amazing. feels solid, ive dropped it once on the sidewalk, and had just a slight dent on the outer shell, not other issues tho. and the design of a 2 piece unibody makes for easy sd and battery pulls.
sense: 3.5 wont be out for a bit, so i woulnd worry about that. 3.0 is my fav UI, but there are soooo many others to choose from the market and the themes thread.
features: all work stunningly for me, GPS lock in 2-3 seconds, and all cell/data work great, but that really depends on your network. i consistantly use wifi teather and BT, the work spectatularity. wifi teather now allows 5 connections.
hope that helps!
Hi moshe22,
I have the Sensation and my wife has the G2x. I've played with her phone and will try to give you my OPINION on your questions below:
-Screen, Is the qHD much better bright IPS? Are colors washed out?
*My screen seems brighter and more vivid.
-Camera, is the camera better on Sensation?
*The camera on the Sensation blows away the camera on my wifes G2x. Especially now with newest update from LG... you are stuck with the very limited default Gingerbread camera on the G2x.
-Speaker, are they loud?
*The back speaker on my Sensation leaves much to be desired. The actual phone speaker is loud and clear.
-Earphones, good qualith sound?
*Sorry I don't use the headphones that came with it.
-build quality, I've hold it in my hands but for like 10 mins, long term build quality, how good is it?
*I think the build quality on my Sensation is pretty good. I have it in a TPU case so I dont have any screen issues or notice any creaking or anything.
-Sense, I tried 3.0 but not 3.5 what are the improvements?
Sensation only has 3.0. It's ok. I think my wife's G2x is faster using the default launcher but if i put Launcher pro or ADW on my sensation, then it's just as fast.
-Features, Does all the features just work? GPS, Wifi signal, reception, in call quality, wifi tethering, bluetooth?
Everything works, but her G2x seems to get better signal than my Sensation even if we are sitting side by side. I still get a good signal though so it's not much to be concerned about. Everything else works great on both phones.
Honestly the main difference I see between the phones is the bigger/brighter screen on the Sensation. Oh... and her phone has the reboot itself every so often issue still and has some light bleed around the LCD. If given the choice, I would definitely pick my Sensation over her G2x.

Hey moshe, glad to see you here in this phone section. I was a g2x owner, switched to sensation two weeks ago. I can tell you that the sensation's camera is indeed far superior than the g2x's and i'm happy with the phone so far. It just feels good in hand, and I'm liking the design of the sensation over g2x too. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your replies guys, you guys just provided great insight specially when comparing to the G2x.
It is almost unbelievable how much support this phone is getting compared to the G2x, I like that.

Hey Moshe I remember seeing you in the g2x forums lol I was one of the people who loved their g2x. Mine was running perfectly i had minimal screen bleed and my phone never randomly rebooted. It truly was perfect. Only reason i got rid of the g2x was lack of development and i was just getting bored. I did a straight trade for the sensation and I'm in love with it. Everything that people have said above are true. I would def recommend getting this phone its awesome.
I find the speaker is amazing especially with audio effects, and so are the headphones that are shipped.
Generally amazing phone all around.

YO KEEP THE G2X if yours is perfect! I switched over because I kept having issues, plus HTC build quality is FAR superior to LGs
Sense UI is fun for a while but its so SLOW. Even if you use ADW/other launchers yes the sensation gets a little faster, but its still running sense which is a total resource hog. G2X is faster just because it has AOSP.
The Screen: G2x's screen is better with the IPS display and contrast, you will be dissapointed with HTC's but the thing that makes up for it is the bigger screen. Even though the sensation has a qHD screen they are essentially very close in ppi since the G2x is smaller. Colors/clarity is not as good on the sensation.
Camera: TOTAL WIN for the sensation, definitely has to be the best camera on a phone. I took a picture from a moving car and it turned out more clear than my actual camera.
I think the speakers suck on both phones. Earphone is also meh.
I also don't have a data plan, I noticed that the G2x has a better wifi range, by a significant margin. It's actually equipped with a better wifi chip if I'm not mistaken. Other than that call quality/signal quality is the same.
Once AOSP comes to the sensation I will rock it all day. If you think sense is for you switch asap, if not hold off until the aosp roms come in for the sensation.
to break it down:
G2x screen better/Sensation screen bigger
G2x faster UI out of the box/Sensation prettier UI but slow
G2x camera sucks/Sensation is awesome
G2x build quality is weak/Sensation is awesome
G2x/Sensation speakers/earphone quality is mediocore
G2x better internals but not by much/Sensation is pretty good
Also, if you do a lot of 3d gaming stick with the g2x, the sensation ins't fully supported to run everything.

Thanks for this reply, it actually made me want to switch even more. To be honest I like AOSP but sense is just more useful, to me at least.
I do take lots of pictures and pictures in gb camera sucks, since they got rid of the LG camera. Pretty disappointed, I was quite happy with the LG camera.
I have flashed the ported lg camera from Froyo but is just not the same.
Screen is my only concern, and I do know there are two panels, I believe one is very bright and nice and the other one is washed out, hopefully I get the nice one.

Former G2x user here (talk about a phone with issues):
-Screen, Is the qHD much better than the bright IPS? Are colors washed out?
***qHD aside, I prefer the Sensation screen. The colors do not seem washed out to me and the viewing angle is fine.
-Camera, is the camera better on Sensation?
***I think the Sensation camera is better
-Speaker/Earpiece, are they loud and clear?
***Quality is good and clear, but I think the G2x had a louder speaker/earpiece
-Earphones, good qualith sound?
***The included earphones stink, but others sound great.
-build quality, I've hold it in my hands but for like 10 mins, long term build quality, how good is it?
***Pretty good. Some people report that the back cover creaks a bit, while some others develop dust under the screen. I have neither problem so far. As for the glass, it's gorilla glass just like on the G2x.
-Sense, I tried 3.0 but not 3.5 what are the improvements?
***Sense 3.0 is pretty neat, but it will probably be quite some time before we see Sense 3.5 on this phone officially. I like Sense 3.0 better than the past iterations of the interface. That being said, some of the devs and chefs will likely give us some Sense 3.5 goodies in the near future...
-Features, Does all the features just work? GPS, Wifi signal, reception, in call quality, wifi tethering, bluetooth?
***Everything works great for me. In call quality is good, and my reception seems a little better than the G2x.
Also, having rooted and installed custom recovery on both phones, the Sensation is easy to root and it is FAR EASIER to install CWM or TWRP on the Sensation than on the G2x. Rooted and custom recovery in about 10 minutes on the Sensation, and none of that pull the battery, hold down all the buttons while plugging in the USB cable bs like on the G2x.

I personally think the screen on the Sensation is better, mine isn't washed out so that may play a big part in it.
Sensation camera blows G2x out the water, speakers on both phone are ok no BB, G2x out of the box is faster but if you use a custom ROM for Sensation it will be just as fast. I would use Insert Coin by Baadnewz with faux 123 kernel.
Switched over from G2x 2 weeks ago and no regrets at all. No reboots, freezes, screen problems, etc. Guess I got a perfect Sensation
Oh if you have enough exchanges on your G2x you may qualify for them to exchange it for a Sensation, that's how i got mine

It's gonna be the same thing besides the beats audio headset and battery size, the same 1.5GHz chip that's in the Special Edition is the same chip that's in the regular Sensation but they just bogged it down. Faux 123 has a kernel out that is at 1.56GHz and it works perfect.
I'd just pay $22 to get a 1900mAH battery on Amazon like I did

It doesn't take a genius to see that this phone offers way beyond what other manufacturers are capable of. Any company can put together a body and screen and call it a phone, but Samsung not only puts the best hardware, they have the best software. What a beautiful phone. Just like the S3, and S2 before that, the S4 is easily going to win the award. It bascially made all other phones obsolete. (sans spen). Good job Sammy.
Matter of opinion but I agree with you

good question
OP, you're delusional if you can't admit that the HTC One is an incredible piece of hardware and software in its own right.
it'll be a close call for the phone of the year - if its to be one of these 2, i am sure that opinion will be just as divided as it is now.

I have to agree although i sense you being a little bias towards the HTC One. But yeah, in my opinion there are 2 2013 Flagship phones that matter, S IV and HTC One. The rest IS obsolete so far and that is including the XZ and the optimus G pro ( not that its a bad phone but it wont compete).

HTC One is my choice - no doubt - I waited until GS4 was announced before i decided though so i was still hoping samsung could pull something out of the bag.
you're right, theres nothing else out now that comes close to either of them but it will be interesting to see next Nexus phone though.
In my view HTC Sense is quite smoother, excellent and amazing over touchwiz.
It is my opinion only. But beware of HTC One. It's gonna be a tug of war.
And what about the Note2(or coming Note3)? Doesn't it deserve a nomination?

Oh yeah definitely. Nexus(es) are always relevant regardless. I also waited for the S IV announcement to make up my mind between the 2 and chose S 4. But i will at some point get the HTC One and carry both

What's so special about the One other than the nice animations and battery consuming Blink?
I had an HTC before with Sense 4, and the software didn't impress me at all.

Note 3 isn't out yet and note 2, while being one of the best phone ever isn't a flagship for this year. We are just comparing the new devices. But yeah note 2 is a beast no doubt.

looking at software only, sense 5 is MUCH closer to stock android than any other version previously.
they've also removed much of the bloat that was in other versions.
(for the record, i didnt care much for previous versions of sense either, usually preferred stock android)
this is off topic though.
on topic, yea i was going to mention the note 3 - i dunno though, im not entirely happy with it being called a phone, for me its TOO big as i believe its 5.5"?
5" is really pushing it IMO.
I'm a Galaxy S fan and I think that unfortunately the S4 is being released too early.
now every manufacturer who comes out with a flagship phone will try to top it and probably succeed :/
I wonder if Apple will be able to with the new iPhone

Samsung S4's Super OLED screen has a stunning 441ppi, which is more than the iPhone 5 but less than the HTC One (468).
S4 - Plastic build.
ONE- Premium built.
The ultra pixel camera of ONE beats up 13MP camera.
In terms of speed S4 is the winner but this doesn't mean that ONE is not a good phone.
Am not contradicting with you, am saying "what's so special about One"

Some people love super amoled, while some don't care for it. The way I see it, samsung and htc make the best screens on the market today. I prefer my Note 2's super amoled over the HTC One X's Super LCD 2, so I am thinking I am going to prefer the S4 screen over the One.
However the camera on the One has been getting some mixed reviews. It's being seen that it does take great pictures in low light settings due to the better absorption from the lesser pixels, but pictures are as sharp as those seen on other 8 MP camera, especially when zooming in on the pictures. For most people it doesn't matter, but to say that the One's camera "beats up" the camera on the S4 is a bit over sighted especially since we haven't seen any comparable shots taken between the two cameras.

there is one comparison that ive seen which was done at the samsung event, its over on the one forum if you're interested.
in that case the One is clearly better - but then again it was fairly low light, and one had final software - im sure gs4 did not.

There are few images of HTC ONE's camera captures on techradar site.
They said that in a low light and darker places HTC One has an incredible performance where iphone5 and S3 failed to capture details of the image in those conditions.
Am sure the cam of One is superb and excellent.

it's really not complicated.
the HTC One has a good camera - i dont think you will find a review that doesnt say that.
on the other hand, the same people all agree that it's lacking in detail - no big surprise. that's the price you pay for low light performance.
those who know enough about camera variables to tinker with the settings will be able to get very similar results on both phones regarding colour etc.
if you don't care about low light performance, then almost certainly gs4 camera wins for you (if you are only considering those 2 phones), if you do care about low light and also image stabilisation, then HTC wins.
easy.
If u read what I said instead of jumping on me because of your fanboyism, you wil read that I said they take good low light photos.. and pics good for facebook.. but I have a life outside facebook.. only max 5 percent of the photos I take get on it.. some people dont use fb.... so I dont need a 4mp..sorry.. and if u check verge, pocketnow and even watch their shows on youtube, you will easily hear them saying that htc is a fail in camera..

So I want a new phone and I have been good with sticking to HTC. I was interested in getting the One M9 and using the rear cam as a video recorder for 60fps vlogs. The question is will the One M8 be a good enough device for me or should I wait for the One M9? As it stands besides using the camcorder, I only really use my phone for music, web, and social media apps. The one thing that will make me want to get the M9 is Verizons history of not updating older devices to newer software versions. Obviously the M8 would be ideal for the lower price. Any thoughts?
Frankly I think the camera on the m8 sucks. If video matters to you, I would wait for the m9, but that's just my 2 cents
Tough call. The m8 camera can be good in the right conditions. Sometimes you really have to play with the settings to get a good picture. For point and shoot, it's not always great. I hope the m9 camera is very good but it looks like they failed yet again on the HTC desire eye which has and 13mp on front and back but reviews didn't favor it very well. Sucks that HTC went from having the best cameras in the industry to the worst. Crossing my fingers

I would guess that HTC will improve at least screen resolution, camera, battery life, cpu and other under-the-hood aspects of the M9 as compared to the M8. It's only 19 days away. Why wouldn't you wait?

I think what I need to consider now is whether the upgrade is worth it for the price. As it stands now all I really need is a good/decent video recorder, sd card slot, and good battery life. Everything else is now just extra.

A refurb? I just woke up and that's all I gathered from this post. But yeah that's actually the plan to get one off contract.

Not a refurb, an HTC RE camera! 16mp camera which interfaces directly with the M8. Also shoots video in HD and slow motion or time lapse.

Looked it up. From what I see it only does 30fps, and there isn't really a camera interface. Plus I'm still going to buy an HTC One M8/M9 so it would still be a waste.

Yeah, don't think you're going to see 60fps framerate from a cellphone camera any time soon. At least not from HTC.

Actually the HTC One M8 and many other smartphones (Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG) have the ability to record 60fps. there are many sample videos from smartphones on YouTube with the 60fps framerate.
M9 for sure..

I stand corrected; I haven't shot a lot of video on my M8. It's odd that you have to select the FHD mode from camera mode because the settings disappear when you're in video mode. I've been shooting video with my RE. Will have to give this a shot.
I wait until the phone proves itself before I buy. The M8 has a nice camera, seriously, I never understand the hate it recieves. You can pick up an M8 for $300 on EBay all day long, which is CHEAP. Although, if it were me, I'd NEVER buy a Verizon branded phone again. I root to get Ad Blocking, and Verizon is a bunch of jerks about their extra junk security. The M9 looks great, but that's either going to be super expensive or a contract. I went Straight Talk for both our phones and am SO HAPPY that contract business is over.
As an aside, most of the YouTube guys I know tried the phone camera route and just got a dedicated video camera after it was all said and done. Take care!
I look forward to getting my M9 in about 18 months... used and off contract carrier unlocked...
