Pros: good built quality, htc sense, qHD resolution.
Cons: size is a bit to big for my hand to use phone while walking, battery time, not very good stock ROM.
That's just some things that I can say now for using this device for a few months.

I came from a gs1. I didn't have very big hopes and I was conscious of the possibility of not having such a great performance on the sensation.
But I bought it used, the price wasn't high and I wanted to play with Sense.
PROS
. Performance is actually very good, much more than what I expected. The phone is fast and you can easily get +7000poins on both Antutu and CFbench. @1.5ghz is more or less on par with GS2.
. Battery (with ICS) is really outstanding
. The phone looks good, the dimensions are perfect
. There's a lot of development
. I don't have dust under the screen
. qHD is great, you'll see the difference when you go back to a WVGA phone lol
. GPS is great
. Sense is pretty great and scrolling between homescreens with ultrasmooth rosie tweaks is probably the smoothest - iphone like - experience I've ever seen
CONS
. The LCD is ok, but I still prefer superamoled (by far)
. The power button is a little flimsy, it feels like it could break easily and for some people it does. I always use a wake up with volume button mod just to be safe.
. Sometimes there are some touchscreen issues due to grounding problems
PROS:
Well built, feels good in the hand
Camera is ace, screen lovely.
Design is good, the slight curve on the screen is a classy touch
It's speedy, very responsive and the best handset I've had (coming from a HTC Hero, Moto Defy then an Xperia Arc S (which was great too))
CONS:
The battery life. Oh god the battery life
I've found the volume rocker on the side to be very sensitive. Find myself pressing it by accident of you hold the phone in landscape mode, or when you're taking pics you zoom in by accident
I also thought the outer case, while durable and looking good, was FAR too slippy to hold sensibly. It felt like it was going to squirt out my hand every time I held it.
Overall, I would have no qualms about recommending it (Although the Sensation XE is probably a better buy now)

Thank you all for your input. I have been looking through the forums but its difficult to tell which are actual issues as opposed to user incorrect flashing. Your pros and cons are very helpfull. I just ordered my sensation and should have it within a week. Might be a nice change from my love/hate relationship with my g2x.

Hey guys I'm looking to get the HTC Sensation, But I need to know a few things. Is the rom development good? Especially towards ICS? What accessories should I buy that I need? And is it worth getting rid of my g2x for it? Thanks!

I'd say the sensation is a step up but I'm not exactly a non bias party tho.
There are currently no roms containing ics. There is a major alpha Rom under development.
Make sure to get yourself a case and maybe an mhl adaptor. Some nice headphones wouldn't be a bad idea either
Currently the arhd roms for sense 3.0 and 3.5 are very well built and do wonders for efficiency and performance. It just depends what your looking for in a Rom

OK thank you! The big reason is that I personally think a 4 inch screen is too small for me. Don't get me wrong I love stock Android but I always need to change my phones customization that's why I love sense. And I love the build quality of HTC phones. And the g2x's Rom development is dead. Basically.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
ya i agree about the build quality and the sense being a top selling point. i love the sensation and with it being one of the few devices getting ICS first (at least as of now) the development should be going strong for at least 6 monthsd from now.
That is a long time in android years lol

i have both phones and have the sensation as my daily. while i like the sensation slightly more i must say the sense is what keeps me. i hated sense until i really started to use it and im now hooked. i also think though that the g2x has a much sharper and nicer screen.
performance wise i have tested both side to side and the only thing the lg wins in testing over the sensation is neocore (nvidia processors). 78.9fps to 60fps. however linpack and quadrant the sensation takes the cake.
generic testing i know. but it does help to some degree.

I'm not trying to say the sensation screen sucks. As a matter of fact the resolution is greater than the the one on the g2x. However I must say that the screen seems richer and sharper on the g2x. Just my 2 cents...

I have both the G2X and the Sensation and I like the Sensation better. The G2X seems faster and benchmarks faster, but both are fast enough and the bigger screen on the Sensation is my main reason..
I also have a Tmobile Galaxy S2 but I actually do not use it anymore and switched back to the Sensation because the S2 is too big, it is hard to use with one hand and a pain to carry around..
All 3 have custom roms on them and whichever gets a stable ICS first will be my new daily use phone...
the s2 looks amazing and has amazing specs. seeing as you have all three phones is it hands down the best for performance outta the 3? also i love the screen but i think 4.3 is about the biggest id need.
Yea okay I'm definitely switching because the g2x has a nvidia processor and there is no way there going to give the drivers out. So no ICS for the g2x until the official release.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My mom has a mytouch4g... holy hell, I want to kill it with fire. Beat it with a bat, and then put it in a blender. I seriously hate the Mytouch 4G. The sensation is a Bugatti, and the MT4G is a 94 Honda Civic with no v-tec and a super huge muffler that kills all its power..
The biggest thing I noticed on the negative side when I switched from the MT4G to the Sensation was the rounded back of the Sensation.
You can't just lay it on your desk or a table and type on it. It wobbles all over the place. You have to hold it. The MT4G has a flat back so you could pound on it and it wouldn't wobble. Made it really easy to type while it was sitting on the table.
However....the bigger screen is really nice. It's much more vibrant too.
The first day you'll feel like you're holding a tablet because of the size difference. But you get used to that pretty quick.
The only thing I miss from the change is the trackpad wake and dedicated camera button

i had a MT4G before, and compare to Sensation: honestly, i don't feel the sensation is much superior than the MT4G.Even with dual core processor, there is not much different in term of speed. Not like you move from a Camry to a Lamborghini.Instead, you move to an Avalon ^^. The only thing different is the screen size :4.3 inches vs 3.8 inches. And i also miss AOPS roms and MIUI roms alot. MT4G have a great roms collection than Sensation. Overall, Sensation is till a good phone, but you wouldn't expect to much in it.

Are you seriously telling somebody that there are no good custom roms for the sensation??? WTF??
I still have a MT4G and a Sensation, and will switch between the 2. The Sensation has a larger and better screen, 8 MB Camera w/ 1080p Camcorder, and a likely quicker path to ICS, all pluses.
The MT4G had great build quality, dedicated buttons including camera button and slightly better cell reception. I personally think the antennas built into the rear Sensation cover is a defective design; much prefer the MT4G design.
For many other things, like battery life, speed of use with or without Sense, lack of lag, built in memory, 4g speeds, browsing, etc., the devices are very similar if not about the same. Dual core in the Sensation is nice, but on both of my devices I only OC to about 1.2 ghz and they both (with the right GB rom) have the same smoothness and similar benchmarks. Sensation is just like a slightly newer brother to the MT4G IMO.
I miss...
Camera button.
Cm7-so much!
More responsive touch screen when typing.
That's about it.
You will like...
Better camera.
Better/larger/sharper images.
Ics roms.
OK gingerbread roms.honestly,I liked tdj's/royal knights sense 3.5 better than any on sensation,but they are good here too.
Better 3g4g connectivity its faster.
Is it worth upgrading too instead of sgs2? No.Not really.
However,my sgs2 is in the drawer,so,its a matter of preference.I'm just using this one to flash roms.
You will like the phone.but if you can return for sgs2 you will most likely enjoy that one more!

Couldn't agree more about the battery life.
Development is on par I'd say considering the future development and official ICS coming. MIUI is going to officially support the sensation, win.

I used to have a MT4G and now I'm on Sensation and I absolutely love both phones.
I was very satisfied with the myTouch only AFTER I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod, overclocked it a bit, it went very fast.
I've had the Sensation since it came out! I love this phone, really powerful, looks great, has an amazing camera and screen. You won't be disappointed.
ROOT it of course stock HTC ROM sucks doodooballs.

*pro:
- smooth, nice UI.
- good battery life
* cons:
- web browser is suck ( no flash option, no bookmark organize ..)
- no official youtube app.
- Almost like iOS ( need Zune desktop, no real file manager , no directly download file from browser..)
Overall, WP 7 is great for normal users, not a geek.

I think windows phone has potential. Get it *unlocked* and add a file browser and a proper video player I will be down!! SOOON!!! But only if ICS(BEST OS EVER) and FLASH didnt exist LOL
I would never give up a sensation for that. That's comparable to an exhibit 2! but the camera is way better on an exhibits 3mp! If you don't have ICS on your sensation I would def suggest it. It's amazing I put away my galaxy s2 for a while because it's so smooth. Went 13 hrs with power save mode on and still had 64% left. Then again everyone has different needs... What do you truly need?

I came here from WP7, its a lovely looking OS and the Titan I had was so quick, 105th quickest on WP bench. But the development is non existent!

No the unlock is a developer unlock. Pretty much just allows you to install non market apps. If you enjoy the freedom of android, youl have a shock going to windows. But if you just want a nice, good looking, fast phone then go for it. To be honest, i wish i kept my omnia 7 aswell as my sensation. I do kinda miss windows but android gives so much more.
i thought the sensation has f2.2 lens also
I would stick with the Sensation... you will regret it if u choose Radar as I think that it is step back..
Guys I just want to know which is the best device to go for next? SGSII OR SENSATION? what say?
Sent from my device using Tapatalk
It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment
I will be getting the Galaxy S III!
Honestly...none...

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using xda premium
Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!
Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable
I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.
check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation
I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

Haha, yeah i'm with you too on an Android vs Apple war =D
I'm not nit picking at you or anything, I was just pointing out something i found funny
Take it easy buddy
Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.

Running CM9
Very smooth and fast.
Makes the iPhones look positively dinosauric
Absolutely no need to upgrade either.
ADORE
A very nice posting from my brick
Totally agree
Have no plans on changing my Sensation this year, as it does everything i need.
All these 2012 Smartphones don't really offer anything that makes me want to change.
Had mine for 3 months now and looks like I made the right decision absolutely love it look forward to many more months of awesomeness from this phone

Yes.
YouTube is a bit choppy,
But that's it really ....
A very nice posting from my brick
Love the phone! Had a iPhone a few weeks when my sensation was on service (dust inside the display, got a brand new display for free )
After using a laggy iphone, I realized how much i love the sensation.
It's a sensation... Easy as that.
Same here. My Sensation is 6 1/2 months old, it has no scratches and still looks and feels like on the first day. It's an awesome phone, but the ability to run CM9 makes it still more awesome
I am also running CM9 and got it clocked at 1ghz and hahaha even at this speed is super smooth.
I am really glad that we got CM9, it would be hard to get a phone that doesn't get CM9 support to be honest because these companies overlays are full of bloatware and drain battery super quickly.
The real problem with HTC phones is Sense. I got to have it at like 1.7 to be smooth but then the battery sucks really bad. Then if I clock down to about 1.2 which is when I notice a battery difference, it's all choppy and stuttery.
Just yesterday I played with an HTC One S and I don't really envy anything about it.
And I too feel the same way as a previous poster and that is that I don't feel the need to upgrade.
CM9 + Sensation= Fast, Smooth, Great battery life.

Go to the Android development section, the thread is called Open Sensation. Should be on either the first or second page.
Your phone needs to be rooted and S-OFF, and you need to have the ICS firmware. Flash through recovery after complete wipe, and enjoy.
