Was amazingly thin and really didn't seem big for a 4.3". Felt like I was holding a Nexus One. Was a test unit given to a regional rep, but it felt awesome in the hand.
Camera was great. I was informed that it was shipping with Android 2.3 and sense 3.0 by the rep as well.
Been using a G2X for two weeks and I seriously can't stand it, just switched back to my MT4G. Getting a Sensation when it comes out for sure.

Have you - by any chance - ever had a Desire HD so you can compare these two flagships? I'm really wondering if the Sensation is that much of an upgrade. Of course, better hardware, better battery (even though the wake-times on the htc-page are even lower thant the one of the DHD...), nice dual core..
Just wondering.
Great to hear that it has that Nexus One feel. Anyone who's held one knows what a wonderful presence in hand it has.
The G2x has the Tegra 2 going for it, and that's all. Many are having no problems, but many are, not to mention that it just didn't _feel_ right.
I'm looking forward to giving this a shot and hope it'll keep me from buying an SGSII.
thanks for the info and good news
Unfortunately I've never had the chance to handle a Desire HD, I used to own an HD2, and it felt a lot smaller than that.
The mobile gaming with the Tegra 2 is awesome, I'm fairly confident the 1.2ghz chip from Qualcomm will be comparable or perhaps even better, though in the graphics department that is debatable.
Oh well, after trying to use a few devices, I'm still happy with my MT4G, can't stand Galaxy S phones, might be the way they feel. And the G2X just wasn't good.
Good to hear!
I hope HTC upgraded the speaker power this time, DHD and N1 have too quiet volume output even with tweaks.
As for the screen contrast reaching the Arc level will be a very good surprise!
We need something to match super amoled + so qHD with high contrast will be better.
I can not wait for the Sensation! I will trade my truck for one right now! I played with a G2X in a Tmobile store and got ta say I was not impressed, the space from the bottom of the phone to the screen where the soft buttons are, are abnormally BIG!, Made the phone feel qerky! Just doesnt have that HTC feel (Quality)!

The G2x feels like a truck, and it really isn't what I was hoping for. My HTC experience spans quite a few years but the Nexus One has been so good that I'm looking for something like that again.
I get the feeling the Sensation is that phone.
This is for those on the fence about whether to get this phone or wait for something else, because I was one of those people up until earlier today.
The screen is GORGEOUS! The qHD resolution is heaven-sent.. and I don't even go to church! You will appreciate the extra real estate as soon as you visit any webpage and definitely if you read on the Kindle app. After seeing how amazing this qHD display has proven in only a day's use, I could never see myself going back to a smaller resolution screen.
Videos play flawlessly and the detail is more crystal clear than your eye can see. I really don't know how to better describe it. I am still literally in awe.
The phone's build quality is simply superb. No creaking anywhere.. Anywhere! ..and it doesn't feel as big as you might think. It's about the same size as my MT4G, yet it has a screen half an inch bigger!
The external speaker finally reminds me of the one on the SGS. It's really good. I was pleasantly surprised.
Only place I'm not impressed is with the camera. I just don't see much of a difference, if any at all, between the Sensation's 8mp camera quality and those from the MT4G's 5mp camera :-!
Overall, I am very satisfied. (Coming from a MT4G which was a great phone too).. I am surprised at the people returning it because they felt underwhelmed. What more do you expect from a phone? I say get this phone -- it is the best on the market right now.
Edit- I forgot to mention the wifi-n capability. I get a full wifi signal now where I used to get a weak signal with the MT4G. Whatever it is, it's a welcome addition.
Also pinch to zoom on webpages is smooooooooth
Couldn't agree with you more. I just exchanged my G2X for this today.
It's a fantastic display and for me is much much better for messaging and typing in general as well. The G2X was a beast, but there were so many people with screen bleed, including myself. I thought I could live with it, but it really did wash out the top part of the screen way way too much. I thought about living with that display for 2 years and the decision was easy.....qHD super LCD FTW
Sense is sexy in many ways....laggy in others.
LED notification is great to have again.
But again...you're absolutely right....the display is just gorgeous!
The dust under the screen that some people have is beyond bizzare for a high end device maker. Hope I don't get any. So far, no dust, no dead pixels.
Oh, one more huge thing for me was the fact that this does 1080p @ 30fps as opposed to 24fps on the G2X.
Ohhhh....Ive also found that the Sensation resizes text better than I've ever seen a touchscreen device do with pinch to zoom. Don't know if its Sense or Gingerbread or what, buts its a wonderful web experience on this here beauty.
Love it!
Yea, the text its soo crisp it's crazy! Are you planning on getting a screen protector for yours? It's soo beautiful I would cry if the screen was scathed in any way lol.. I do trust the Gorilla Glass as it held up perfectly when I had the N1 and SGS though.
Also, have you seen any trailers on the HTC Watch app? O... M... G... The quality seems like 1080p video on a LED tv =O I'm still shocked at how clear this display is!
hm.... not really being a$$ or an apple fanboy, but your impression on the qHD screen really makes me wonder about ur opinions towards iphone4's retina resolution.
qHD is definitely nice, but heaven-sent? come on

Man this is a tough choice, both are really good phones. Each have their pros and cons. I do think the screen on the sensation is a little bit nicer but not enough that it makes that much of a difference. I do like the fact that with qhd screen you can see more text. Decisions, decisions...
I picked up the HTC sensation and I own the G2X as well and love both! Only problem is locked bootloader

G2x or sensation
So far so good wit the sensation. No randoom reboots, phone hangs up when press end to end phone calls, no light bleeding issues. These are a few of the issues of the g2x right out of the box. Comparing to the Sensation which is just superb straight out of the box. Good riddance to the g2x which is a close 2nd to the hd2 as the worst phone I have ever owned. These are my opinions. By the way i went through 6 g2x phones and they all had the same problems. Bottom line the phone (sensation) WORKS!!!!

funny how peoples experiences are different... The sensation is awesome, but other than minimal screen bleed the g2x has been awesome, and I had 3 total, all awesome... Again sensation is awesome too, just weird how different our experiences were...
Coming from a Samsung Vibrant, I appreciate the added resolution, awesome build quality, and screen size, but I miss the awesomeness that was the AMOLED screen.
For me it comes down to reliability. The Sensation is way more stable than the G2X. And let's be honest, the update that they are saying is on the way..they are hoping it fixes the problems it has. Let's be real, I'm sure they didn't plan to have the problems they have now, just like they don't plan to have anymore problems after the update. There's no guarantee that the update will fix what ails the G2X. That alone is enough reason for me to stick with the Sensation. I've had the Sensation now for about 8 days now and I have yet to have my phone freeze or crash...same can't be said about the G2X. That makes the decision easy for me.
What really erks me is that we spend, like in my case full price for a device that should be ready or close to ready out of the box to be a functional stable phone. The one thing that g2x owners have in common is that we all returned several g2x's back because they were defective. The bottom line is reliability, which the g2x does not have and thats why I have a sensation.

Yea the retina display is nice.. but it's way too small for my liking.. and yes heaven-sent lol.. It is just soo much easier/ faster to navigate pages and I find myself scrolling a lot less. That was one of the issues I had with things like reading the NYTimes site on previous phones -- too much scrolling.
It may not be an issue for others, but I do a lot of reading and writing papers for school on my phone, on the train, for example. Seeing so much more on the screen without having to scroll definitely makes it easier for me
Btw, I was at a TMobile store minutes after they opened, on the G2X launch date, but I wasn't sold on it mainly because of the hype of the Sensation and the GSII made me want to wait for those instead. So the phone felt underwhelming and I wasn't really blown away by anything it had over my then MT4G, to justify spending $500. I even went back twice, but resisted buying it. I'm so glad I waited for this instead.
What really sold me here over the G2X is the slimness and style of this phone. The Sensation and G2X are about the same size! Yet, the screen on here is about 1/3" bigger and with the better resolution too. I hated all of that that empty space at the bottom of the G2X and how the buttons seem so huge. And after seeing comparison reviews and videos, I held out for this one.
But if you guys prefer the G2X better, I'm not hating. Enjoy it. I just honestly don't see any areas where it has an advantage over this phone.
Couldn't Agree More
Just my two cents (I finally created an XDA profile just to get a post out there about my Sensation experience so far!):
The people on this forum really dampened my expectations on his phone. All the talk about benchmarks, comparisons to the GS2, etc. are quite discouraging to folks on here... Almost to the point where I considered changing carriers or waiting another N months for the next set of phones to come out.
However... I am so happy that I didn't go that route. This may be because I'm coming from a myTouch 3G / HTC Magic that was almost inoperable at the time of my Sensation purchase, but I am extremely impressed with this phone. You really gotta go mess around with one if you're on the fence - the form factor is sooo sleek, the screen beautiful, and the UI seems snappy as hell to me. Being a developer, and concerned with performance, I do hope it's rooted soon, but I'm enjoying Sense 3.0 much more than I expected to.
Cheers!

I can understand what you mean. There are a lot of anal retentive people on this site who have nothing else going on so they nitpick any phone they purchase. I don't understand the logic of a person that looks for problems. For example, I saw a thread on here a few days ago from a person who's thread said something to the effect of, "hey I just got a Sensation..what problems should I look for?" Now when I saw that I'm thinking, why the hell would you be looking for problems? Just use the phone, and if there's a problem you will notice it. I saw another thread yesterday, where the poster was saying that he was concerned about the lens inside of the front-facing not being perfectly centered inside the hole....It's always something with these guys. Try not to let them damper your enthusiasm for any phone because they will if you allow them to. Some of these people on here would find fault if Jesus released a phone...

+10. The nitpicking in this forum is ridiculous. You might assume from reading countless threads that the handset is faulty. Not even close. The G2X complaints were valid, but not with the Sensation. Pick it up and you'll immediately understand why they called it the Sensation. It really is that nice. The build, screen, and all around feel is absolutely stellar. Really couldn't understand the disconnect between these threads and the actual device. Benchmark junkies please help keep these forums clean and move on to a new device.
For those always worried about benchmarks (I don't care about benchmarks), I heard that the benchmark apps aren't updated to read the 2nd core yet (or something like that).
Long story short, I lost my Samsung Vibrant (my previous upgrade 5 months ago) or it was stolen and T-mobile offered me a Free phone if I extend our lines for 2 years. (couldn't get the deal in the future or I would have waited for the Galaxy 2 probably) Which overall wasn't a big deal as we have been with them for 5 years and everything works out well. (plus we can still downgrade/upgrade our plan)
Anyway,
I chose the Sensation and had a few questions.
Will I like it? It seems very promising and I loved my G1.
More importantly, can I root it and throw on the roms I see floating around? Some people In reviews said the boot loader is locked? But not on newer versions?
the phone is GREAT. rooting and s-off is very easy. go into android developement and there will be the thread for it. the roms are all mostly sense roms. cm7 is out but still in beta but its pretty stable. so is MIUI, a iphoneish not really rom. only things wrong with miui is wifi calling and bluetooth. i think so with cm7 too.

Have you noticed any signal issues? I've read a few but the majority of the people didn't have it.
I'm excited. HTC is awesome build quality. Should be plenty even with the slower dual core compared to the galaxy.
Only thing I was really worried about was screen but it seems this one is pretty good.
Also, is the Zagg shield worth it? I really want a decent screen protector but hate trying to put them on.
about the screen,
maybe it's not as beautiful as I-PHONE, but I think the quality is very good already.
It's a good phone, I like it very much
so~~~many things here, you can discover to modify you phone, and improve it performance.
Don;t worry, just check it out ~XD
I think you'll love it. I used to have an iPhone4 and love this phone. The build quality is real good. The speaker seems a little on the quiet side. I'd recommend rooting it ASAP and installing CM7. Yes, it's in the alpha phase right now, but it's real fast and CM is so nice imho of course.
So yeah, the Sensation has a great screen, a good feel, and is pretty quick. Much faster than a stock SGSII if you install a modded ROM and overclock it ;-)
I will for sure root it and put a rom on it. Not so sure I will overclock it.
Can you comment on call quality and speed? My vibrant only had 3g so looking forward to 4g.
I'm almost thinking of downgrading my data plan too. The last 4 months of use on my Vibrant I did maybe 350MB's total out of 5GB.
Any comments on a Zagg screen? that or is there something easy to put on it off Amazon? ( i have 2 day shipping)
Any clue when t-mobile will get the Galaxy s2? That's the only other phone I would have wanted but, I had to go with one today as I couldn't get the deal again.
im not really a big fan of screen protectors so i really cant recomend one. i do know that the zagg sheild is a good screen protector. i have used one in the past and i liked how it feels. its really solid and thick so you will get the feeling that nothin will scratch it unlike any of the other screen protectors out there. tmobile sells one as well. but i had one on my hd2 but i didnt like it cause it has a matte finnish to prevent smudges and it just felt awkward whenever i move my thumb around. you can always look around on ebay for a really cheap one. but like i said i really dont use them. i buy them and i wind up removin them a few weeks later. idk y its just the way i am. and i never had a problem with scracthes. with the exception of the hd2 but i had that phone for over a year before i got that scratch and you really cant see it plus i replaced it with the sensation a week later.
as far as the galaxy s ii i believe it comes out sometime next month. most likely at the end. anyone can correct me if im wrong here.
i for one love htc phones just becuase of build quality and sense ui. but some people dont like sense so its really up to the user on that. just go to the store and play around with the sensation and the galaxy s ( i know its not the s ii but its close to it.) and see for yourself. i think youll love the htc sensation.
edit: get the zagg sheild. i think its the best bang for your buck
I'm much in the same boat guys, going to be coming from an iPhone 4.
I've had a Nexus S and an Atrix, but didn't like the Atrix due to the screen and motoblur (at the time development was slow), and the Nexus S build quality was appalling.
I just want good battery life and great build quality, good screen and fast.
Will I like it do you guys reckon ?

Tbh I can't tell much different between the quality of this screen and the iphone 4. Except that ours is bigger of course.
I love this phone. Now that I am sense free with cyanogenmod its easily the fastest phone I've ever seen.
The only real ***** is the usual one with htc phones. Htc always put **** external speaker in their phones. Its still useable but compared to some of the other smart phones out there it could be better.

I came from an Iphone and I think I actually prefer the sensations screen... im not sure why!
Well hey guys. I've been getting alot of questions on whether people should go and get a nexus or keep the sensation since i was an extremely early adopter of the sensation and a huge HTC Fan. To be honest, i like the nexus, probably 10 more times than i liked the sensation, and here's why.
NO OVERHEATING. As many of you know, the sensation likes to get all hot and bothered. But, it gets a little too hot. its gotten hot on me to the point it burned the inside of my gel case i bought for it. The nexus has YET to even start to get a LITTLE warm, and trust me i charged it exactly how i did the sensation. Probably one of the main reasons i like the nexus.
BUILD QUALITY.Personally i love the way both of these devices are built. But in the end i have to give it to the Nexus. Reason being i like that the device literally feels PERFECT in the hand to me. the perfect mix between not too light but not ridiculous like the razr. I've had alot of experience with the lte nexus since i work for verizon and i like the gsm version more because its more thin and light.
GPS. Now i don't understand why people hate samsung for their crappy gps from what i read. This is the first smartphone i've ever owned that picked up my location at my house DIRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. Not two houses over or a block. My exact home address. Every other phone put me somewhere else, including the sensation.
BATTERY LIFE! I've never, ever, EVER, EVER had a phone thats lasted longer than this nexus has. im on 1 day,3h,24 min on battery with 34 percent left! NEVER have i had battery life this good. Most will say "hey shaq, your not using the phone thats why its lasting so long.derp derp derp" You want to know what i say to that? " NO boy, i've been using this phone constantly especially since its new and i've only had it for two days. Silly ass. "
Besides the screen which obviously goes to the nexus, this is why im keeping it. I don't know if many of you will even care about this, but this is for those who were wondering thats all. This isn't a biased review AT ALL seeing as i never liked samsung, don't like the sgs2 or any of their devices (yes even the Nexus S) and this is the first samsung device i've ever bought, and i'm extremely impressed. Hope this helps those on the gate about this phone.

Fast fix, here the same. Unrooted phone.

Must say, the only reason I should use a Nexus is because of the Amoled. But since it ain't got sense.
It has nothing.
Not to forget.. It only has a 5mpixel camera aswell.

Android 4.0 honestly destroys what sense ever was honestly if you gave it a try.
Samsung Actually makes cameras, their 5mp camera could easily be compared to a moto or htc camera and be on par or even beat it. It has one of the best camera sensors out on a phone. Megapixels don't determine how good the camera is . Trust me, i've done alot of tests against one another.
lol about the pyramid GPS, you're wrong, i tryed it at lobby of a big complex and it found my location in 30sec.
No microSD card slot.
No mass storage mode (so I can't use iTunes Agent)
No offline sync with PC for calendar and contacts (old fashioned I know, but I just don't want to sync with Google's sevrers).
No in-built DLNA app (Google really need to up their game with core functionality like this and implement full GUI mirroring to TVs/monitors via DLNA or wifi direct as standard so we can do more with our devices)
Other than that, I probably would've bought the Nexus too.
It would be nice if the Sensation didn't gently toast my backside when it's in my pocket ; )
Guys it looks like you are trying to change Shaqs mind. Don't, it will only lead to misunderstandings an flame wars.
@Shaq, thanks for sharing, you aren't the first person which said that he likes GN more than Sensation, but you are the first to explain why. While I disagree with heat issue (mine never got that hot) the rest of the point can be only understood by direct comparison (not possible in my case). Also, we don't know what HTC is going to come up with for the next Sense, but i have a feeling it's going to be rather yummy.
But all in all, possibility of me going to GED is higher and higher every day I use Android.
I would trade my sensation for a nexus in a heartbeat if it wasn't so. Damn big

I've got to agree with you on both points, I'm a avid htc fan but from the leaked ICS sense roms htc have seriously messed it up and I'm not talking about the obvious lags as it is a leak, and yes Megapixels count for nothing its all about the sensor

Nice nice! I've tho heard that the nexus have a rubbish battery life, but then it is better than the sensation, so that's good.
When I saw the nexus, I thought about buying it, too but the lack of SD card made me go nono ^^

That would be me. I'm too strapped for cash right now to even consider getting a GN, but I did wonder how much better (or worse) it was compared to Sensation. So thanks for this.
Lack of SD card slot does kill me a little inside, but I'm sure the overall user experience makes you forget that. I had an iPhone previously, so I'm sure I could get over the lack of SD slot.

I would trade my sensation for a nexus in a heartbeat if it wasn't so. Damn big

It's not that big. Remember it has no hard keys so it's only marginally bigger than the Sensation.
The OP should have just said this:
I like the Nexus over the Sensation because I WORK FOR VERIZON
troll thread can be closed
GSM i9250 Galaxy nexus vs [INSERT ANY SMARTPHONE].. Why i kept the Nexus.
Its kinda surprising to see senior members troll. I understand you wanted to share your opinion really bad to justify your purchase but imo there is a better place to do that. I visit this forum to learn/discover something new about a device I own. I dont care why you choose GN or any other phone.
To the last two individuals, why did you read this post and comment? If you didnt care about this you wouldn't have commented..right? I dont quite understand the logic of you posting in my thread. If no one cared, people wouldnt have read nor commented this thread. Are you guys feeling good about yourselves posting such nonsense?
If i liked it because i work for verizon, i would have got the lte version.
As stated, this thread is for those who wanted to know why i liked it , silly troll.
Sorry folks, it made me giggle reading those comments.
My sensation is fine. Unless quad core phones start to come out now. The nexus got so many flaws and it's overwhelming too
That's just my opinion
you had yours too

then dont come in the thread .... its nice to see some comparisons between phones
I just bought my GN from mobile daily steals. Hasn't been shipped yet. How much are mint condition sensations selling for at present?
Thank you for the short review.
I'm currently considering getting the Motorola RAZR or the Galaxy Nexus in white.
Just can't shake the feeling that it would prolly be stupid of me to buy now, when we got new flagship phones from HTC or Samsung just around the corner.
They'll prolly announce something new at CES, so let's see
Galaxy nexus all the way..
Typical response from Sensation owners who will call you a troll if you ever say any device is better than the Sensation. Ignore them, they are absolutely ignorant. I appreciate the honest review and it seems like the same things I would notice if I switched over to the GN.

Hey htc one s user! ive got a question for all you! ive been looking for a gift for my mom and she tells me she wants a new phone, shes pretty tech savy and knows her way around android pretty well (shes a sgs rooted user), besides the fact im just wondering if this is a good phone to buy for her? and im also wondering if 200 is a good price for the phone used,with nothing wrong with it?
Thanks!
Personally i think this phone looks and feels best out of the the many ones out there. The size might be a little problematic if you have smaller hands, but compared to the galaxy or others it's definitely smaller. People i sit around with in class have remarked that it looks very nice too ^^

I think $200 is a good price. I bought mine in November for $300 off ebay with no issues. I think it all depends on preference. Personally, I like HTC Sense. I think is like the 4th HTC I've owned, and have liked them all. The camera on this phone is solid, one of the few reasons I switched from my Galaxy Nexus. The size is nice, not too big, not too small. If you are a T-Mobile user, we just got the 4.1.1 JB update. I'm running a version by Mkinney88 that runs smooth on my phone, is she's planning to root. For being such a slim phone, battery life isn't too bad. I can usually get through a full day with around 3 hours screen time. Accessories are somewhat limited, but I found a few cases I like.
Sorry to ramble a bit, but has you can see, I like it. I do sometimes switch to my Galaxy Nexus, but always end up coming back to the One S.
Good luck!
