Just to spice things up before next month MWC.
I'm thinking, this might just be the Desire S successor. Just because of the 3.7" size and midrange pricing.
Here's the spec:
3.7" Super AMOLED, Gorilla Glass
Dual-Core 1GHz Qualcomm
512MB RAM
5MP Camera, 720p video, dual-shutter allows snapping photos while taking video, f/2.0
9mm thick
ICS with Sense 4
Beats Audio
250 GBP
My comment:
Decent spec. But somehow the RAM is less than what we already have. But the camera seems great if it's really f/2.0. Seems much thinner too.
But this is just rumor milling though so take it with a pinch of salt, or pepper whichever you prefer.
ps: Didn't include pic since sources say it's just an ugly render.

512mb ram!? Kinda makes a 1ghz dual core processor useless?
That's less RAM than the Desire S. I'll stick with mine thanks.
That dual shutter thing sounds interesting though. I sincerely hope the image is just a mock-up, that beats logo on the front is f'ing hideous.

No, they call it HTC Edge.

If that picture in post #5 is really the DS successor, then I will be more than happy to keep my DS.
In my opinion its a fake. They would never put that Beats logo at the front and I guess they will also keep the softtouch buttons.

It is. They'll more likely to put the Beats logo at the back.
HTC is focusing on quality instead of quantity this year, or so they say. Which means less models but better quality.

HTC has just said that because of the hardware requirements of the new skin, only the Sensation, EVO 3D and Flyer will be benefiting from the Sense UI 3.0 for now .
HTC Sense 3.0 will only support Sensation, EVO 3D, Flyer and newer devices, older hardware left behind
"Unfortunate news for anyone who saw HTC's Sense 3.0 UI and started dreaming about seeing it on their Desire HD, Incredible S or any other handset that doesn't ship with it preloaded. HTC has said that because of the hardware requirements of the fancier new Android skin, only the dual-core Sensation 4G and EVO 3D smartphones and the 1.5GHz Flyer tablet will be benefiting from it for now. The company's expected to introduce more tablets in the summer and its inevitable march forward with smartphones will continue, but Sense 3.0 -- and those delectable multifunctional lock screens -- will remain the exclusive privilege of its highest-end devices."

And Motorola said that they wont make Gingerbread for the Milestone because of the hardware, and it runs better than Froyo. HTC cant say that they wont give it to push the sells of there new devices.

Well at least it might see Sense 2.1.
How come we can get a leaked version of this but not the official desire ginbgerbread rom?
Probably because it's not finished (or even exists). As I've said before, until I see the Desire running 2.3 I won't believe we'll ever get it
I had the crazy idea of downloading the RUU myself and trying to decompile it and all this just to get the wallpaper from the ads/presentation.

I found on youtube a video of a Sensation fake...
It seems to also have Sense!
I wrote already HTC but no reaction...
I hope they can bann this silly company!
Can someone agree that this is fake?
sorry for bad english
My friend bought a similar fake when he was in Afghanistan. This phone has Sense like interface and poor parameters: 2M camera, 650 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM.
I must say, that's a really good copy of Sense.
I'm confused...why did you feel the need to e-mail HTC...they're a taiwanese company...do you really think they don't know mainland china try to copy everything they make?
besides, the phone looks nice, it probably works better than the sensation as well...ie no sense restarts when going back to the home screen, better battery...duel sim, lol.
I love my sensation but it's hardly perfect.
Looks and seems better than the real thing.
AFAIK is sense open source
This looks nothing like the sensation. The operating system does only if your on stock .but no way is this a sensation copy cat

That is most definitely Sense. As said above, it's a rom from another phone hacked onto low grade hardware. While it's a fake, it is an Android phone.
I want one!!! I wouldn't mind paying $75 for that.
This isa great port... Haha .
Better than GS2 developers who couldn't port Sense framework to their mobile...
Thumbs up China.... No one can beat them when its about duplicate products with 1/10th the price...
That's why 96% products are made in China around the world....

Can you overclock a 650MHz to a dual core 1.5GHz?
That would be a great phone if it was below 100 bucks.

These Chinese companies make phone copies ALL THE TIME, they change the design ever so slightly so that it doesn't violate any laws and add extra features like dual-SIMs, etc...
They make iPhone copies, Android phones, you name it. This is typical.
These Chinese phones are also prone to freezing, battery failures and breaking from the slightest drop. My friend got one while in Hong Kong. At first he was bigging it up, within three months it was in the bin.

After upgrading my HTC Sensation with the Official ICS update, Quadrant Standard gives the now ICS HTC Sensation phone a higher score than Galaxy Nexus.
Can this really be true? And why is the score higher?
HTC Sensation has a dualcore CPU why does Quadrant Standard(The latest version) still claim the phone is only single core?

Quadrant shouldn't be used as a definitive way to compare devices to one-another. There are many factors that can change a device's score; it isn't the best way to gauge a device's capabilities.
On the other hand, there are ICS kernels for sensation that will push your CPU clock speed to 1.51 and beyond, so compared to a stock Galaxy Nexus, I could believe a modified and overclocked Sensation could beat it out.
This is true. With the Sensation being pushed to its limits and kernels maxing out the dual cores i def would have to say the Sensation is the Lamborghini versus the nexus as the corvette.
I have inspected Quadrant's device information. I see that it says there is 1 available CPU core in the device and 2 available CPU cores for Java. Not sure why.

Seeing as you're overclocked it's no wonder you're quicker than the Nexus...Nexus is 1.2GHz stock, you're 1.6GHz
Both stock, the Sensation gets pretty much identical scores as the Nexus

I was pointing that out earlier. Overclocked, there's no comparison. I'm actually at 1.7, the CPU didn't have enough demand at the time so it dropped a bit to 1.6
ok, forget benchmarks.....I tried a nexus....is sooo laggy, slow...not even smooth...
my sensation with 1.5 kernel is very much better...I think better than galaxy note, too, that now is the best (they think XD because they never tried a sensation)...

It is truly a Sensational device! Bad pun, sorry. I think the only thing the Note has over us is the higher resolution display and pen input...maybe the camera is of better quality. Honestly though, 960x540 is good enough for me. I picked the Sensation out of 20 other Android devices because it had more of what I wanted. I even picked it over the HTC Amaze.

My Nexus is not laggy at all, and it's even better once running a custom kernel. It's the lack of official updates that are making me consider selling it to get a One X

Interesting that people are willing to change from a Nexus device that should be getting updates first to non Nexus devices.
Is your Nexus's updates controlled by Google or operator?

Thought so, I never really looked into it but kinda assumed that it was just the Verizon Nexus that might get slower updates.
Compare the GSM nexus free memory to my One X. Both have exact same apps installed and running and both are stock.

Sense simply takes up too much of the phone's memory.
I'd have a GNEX if the camera wasn't a POC.
The HOX IMO, and I'm sorry for using too many 3 letter short cuts, but the HOX on ATT is about as close to perfect as you can get right now. Yes the multi task issue, but the battery is great, LTE and the camera are super, but the fricken lack of storage and a mem card is almost a deal breaker for me, but I'm dealing with it.

i have always wanted to tear into a Nexus One or a Nexus S i dont care about teh specs
what about you guys? what phone have you always wanted? old or new it doesn't matter.
I really wish I was repping that Nexus 5 (or 4 2013 apparently) or Note 3. Gotta save your pennies!
Definitly the Galaxy Note 3.
I don't want a phone under 5.5 inches and without pen anymore.
I would love to see the Note 3 with 6.3 inches (like the Mega) cause I really love this size for a display but this didn't happend at all.
So I've to wait for Note 4 or Note 5 or Note 6 (every year 0.2 inches more since the first Note)

I would like a phone with great specs and a "small" screen:
Something like a Snapdragon 600 or 800 processor, or A9.
At least 1GB of RAM, the more the better.
At least 8GB, better 16GB of internal storage.
And a screen of 4.3", no more. I think a great resolution is 1280 x 720. I don't think a better resolution (1080p) worths it.
And a metallic cover (no more plastic, please).
In top of that, I'm short on cash, so I need a phone which isn't very expensive.
Impossible, I think.
Good
