Good afternoon,
I'm thinking about buying an Android device to try and walk since the beginning of the month to choose one ...
I had seen on vodafone HTC Sensation, but a few days ago I saw that HTC released new models sesantion, including HTC Sensation XE.
Like to have your opinion on what I choose, in terms of quality and price, preference the phone that last longer without needing to change. have more support.
I have the chance to vodafone HTC Sensation for 350€ and Sensation XE unlock for 550 €
sesantion specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation-3875.php
sesantion xe specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_xe-4164.php
witch one i choose?
Thanlks
There the same phone the sensation is undrclocked to 1.2 where as the XE is clicked to 1.5 the XE looks slightly better in my opinion and has a bigger battery, the headphones are also rrp£79 with the XE
The hardware is exactly the same, if you plan to custom rom take the sensation if not take the XE

You're suggesting to pick the normal Sensation if he plans to install custom ROMS, why do you have the XE then and install CM7?
Because its cheaper... duh.

So for your experience for the diference of the price the Htc sensation is better choice than sensation xe? or the sensation xe is better and much preference of sensation?
Thanks
Get og sensation. With the money you save buy a bigger sd card and headphones of your choice then root and flash xe rom and bam you have beats edition for a lower price. However i prefer cm7 with dsp manager or power amp

Sensation (1st model)
I got the HTC Sensation -
now there's a Sensation XL!! (White!!) Goodness, I think HTC got APPLE virus, "What comes in black, must turn white!"
I agree with some users here. Get the Sensation & root it. But my question:
1) XE model & XL model have bigger internal memory I think. But the RAM is at 768Mb... that's quite unfortunate.
2) Battery life - yes they are slightly larger = 1,620mA (Can't we buy that as a second battery ? - I would. But my battery life looks alright for the 1st month (after rooting, but I realise the charging to 100% is very slow.) I reckon it could be the voltage or the plug. I actually use the old plug with the new Micro USB cable.
Comments?
That will be your charger,
The xe and sensation are the same phone.
The xl gas 1gb of ram a singlecore processor 16gb internal and a bigger screen

So if i bought a regular sensation and put a custum rom, i have a sensation xe?
The normal sensation runs at 1.5ghz and got the beats audio? or just the speed processor?
You can have both, tbh the beats software is pants power amp is better

1GB RAM and 16GB internal? You sure, im buying it next week, all speces show 4gb(1gb usable), and 768 RAM, even on HTC web, gsmarena..and so...
EIDT: Sorry didint notice you wrote XL, its all OK
XL only supports 720p video recording and lacks a card slot. I have just got the XE and I'm super impressed with it.
i like my sensation don't think the other models are worth it.. unless you like red and the headphones...
I was always a Sony Ericson man, then got the Desire - fabulous!
Next I upgraded to the Desire HD and now have the Sensation XE - brilliant, fast, good looking. Great sound & free headphones. Amazing phone... go for it
Are you guys using custom roms on your XE? I should be getting mine in the next few days.

I have a bit silly question : Is there any difference between the Sensation XE smart phones from UK version and US version? or they are the same ones.
Thank you.
cm7 for sensation xe
Is there any stable cm7 rom for sensation xe yet?
if there is, where do i find it? in the ordinary Sensation forum?

sensation XE
If they are built with the same specs sensation cm7 should in theory work with xe version

Hi all. I just want to know are there any hardware differences between htc sensation and sensation XE. Is the same CPU? What about the speaker?

More ROM, bigger battery and the processor is running at 1.5GHz (not underclocked at 1.2GHz like the normal Sensation)...

From what I have read, its the same phone except they didnt underclock it. Exact same processor running at its normal speed. This can be done by rooting...
I say buy the regular sensation (unless the XE release is free from the dust problem) and then root the phone.

No. The xe has a new sound enhancement through software. But root users are already taking advantage of this.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
It's basically the same phone with red details on the case, and not downclocked to 1.2Ghz, with a higher capacity battery to compensate the higher speed on cpu.
If you must buy the phone take the XE, if you have already a sensation, a custom rom will do the work, an upgrade will not give benefits over a rom and is a waste of money (IMHO)

It's not a best processor, both the XE and the normal version have an Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260. And would be nice to say "better equalization" instead of "better sound", and it's achievable from the normal ones just installing the apposite mod.
The real improvements are a more powerful battery and the better headphones. Neither more, nor less.
Aside from the bigger battery the XE ain't got new hardware.

Would anyone know if the XE will come with the same dust problems or if modifications to glue or screen will have been made...?
The new sensations being shipped us supposed to have the bigger battery and the 1.5 overclock.

Yeah they just over clocked this like me. So I got an XE. ;-)

I personally don't like the red details on the new case, so i'm happy with my normal Sensation and a custom ROM that gives nearly all the same additions.

The sound is not better, its just a retarded gimmick eq. Trust me.
Same device compare here, XE has Oced CPU, larger ROM and battery, however, stated specs of XE accessible ROM state 1000mib and standard Sensation 550mib. Dont know about the rest of you but I have at least 1000mib accessible ROM in Sensation.
Somebody know how much the XE headphone cost separately?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
The headphones are the equivelent of Monster iBeats, which I believe retail at £79.99 in most stores. Might get them cheaper online though.

I have been running with the EVO3D battery since my purchase back in June. 1720 or so?
So I'm unfamilar with current prices compared to an older phone/new release.
This is only said if price is a concern.
Enjoy,
I read somewhere that the sensation XE has a slightly larger battery (by 0.3 cm i think) .. can someone confirm this piece of information ?
EVO 3D, XE battery, Anker (sensation) battery and Chichitec (1900 sensation) battery works...
hope it helps
thank you all for clearling this for me i realy appricate it
beside im thinking of buying evo 3d battery for htc sensation
Hi guys, I currently own a hd2 but i'm thinking of getting the sensation xe. I can order the original sensation for about £300 on Amazon, but the sensation xe goes for around £470. I'm aware that there are several ROM s for the sensation that clock the CPU at 1.5 GHz and give it a beats audio profile, almost making it identical the sensation xe. Would i be better off saving around £170 to £200 and getting the original sensation, or should i get the sensation xe?
My understanding is that the only real hardware difference is the more powerful battery in the XE. Otherwise everything is just software, which you can install on the stock Sensation anyway
There is a thread somewhere that goes into more detail what the differences are.
Well...get a HTC Sensation and use the extra cash to buy a good pair of earphones that owns beats. Root and install beats mod and it'll even be better den Sensation XE

Hey guys,
how's it going Sensation-ers ?
as it reads, I wanna buy one of them, is the XE worth the extra money?
plus, will Sensation ROMs work on the XE?
btw, i used to be a Galaxy S user, then stupidly enough I bought HTC Titan .. WP7 suck! , big time, failure on both fronts, fun and practicality !,, just an awesome OS design.
If you go Android,, you never go back ! ... Testified !
Thanks
From what i have read they are basically same and there is ROM for Sensation that turns Sensation into Sensation XE?!
BTW, I'm having the same question as you! Sensation XE is 33 eur more expensive than regular Sensation, but comes with good quality headphones i read somewhere? So are that headphones worth 33 eur if everything else is same? Have XE also stronger battery?
Can someone help us to solve this dilemma please?

how about the screen ?? ,, is it as washed as they say in reviews? I'm asking cause i know when you using it daily it's not the same .. so how's it from your point of view?
I have the XE and the screen looks great, although there is some text ghosting when scrolling through settings menu etc. Nothing that concerns me though.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
There are 2 type of screen. If you got the AUO acer, then you got the vivid, pinkiest color, gosting issue and no wash a way screen. But if you got Sharp screen, you got screen with no vivid or pinkiest and gosting issue, but you got wash a way screen. Search thread about the two type screen on general section and you will understand it.

Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug
In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

It does lag but its interface seems even more bloated than HTC sense. Also, the 3 d requires more power.

I love my sensation. I have no issues with it and have never had. Development is amazing too! The only let down is the company itself and their support towards their phones...

I think the phone is good. Though its pretty outdated with all the new phones being released with better stats. But with the custom roms we get here it still manages to keep in the fight.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics
I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.
Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2
Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.
Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.
The BAD:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
The GOOD:
*Everything else
