What phone do I buy? (G2X - Sensation - Nexus S) - General Questions and Answers

Hi I am gonna get a new phone had the Samsung Galaxy S 4G for just almost a month, I am paying too much for the plan and yet I found out I've been scammed by the authorized dealer, so we gonna return to him today or tomorrow, so I am planning to buy a phone no contract either on Ebay or Amazon.
I've been looking at
G2X
HTC Sensation
Nexus S
I know the Sensation is about $60 - $70. The Nexus S is about $10 - 20 cheaper than the G2X.
Money is a factor. I am mainly looking for good developement for whichever phone I plan to get. I notice ICS just came to G2X so is G2x the best choice for price and considering its the lowest cost that comes with dual core processor?
I also know that Nexus S is single core processor but it is a Google phone, but has been only supported up to Q3 2011 so no good?
I am open to all suggestions as I only have maybe a few hours to a few days, are there any recent Google phones around the price range of $300.
Again I am looking at BRAND NEW PHONES.

Is this the wrong forum?

Thats like another $100 more!!! But if I do understand correctly multiple roms for example Android Revolution 6.21 turns it into the XE with 1.5 ghz + beats. So why shell out the extra?

Oh sorry I didn't know it was that big a difference in price It looks way cooler + better processor + better battery. But the xe has higher stable oc speeds than the standard
AOKP 4 LYF

obviously the Sensation.
The Nexus only has a singlecore processor
and the G2X has too much space at the bottom between the black glass/plastic and the screen, looks ugly.
And HTC owns. Sensation all the way

Sensation is a great phone! a friend of mine has it and swears by it. I was also running the virtuous rom on my g2 and love sense 3.0. Sensation is def my next phone once my contract is up.

Buy HTC Desire S

Hi!
Who will buy the new HTC Desire S ?
I will not buy it because if it is not in the upgrade path for me and I got my Desire at the end of the last October, but I encourage everyone who will buy it because if we disregard all the puke people spill especially over in the Desire subforum, Desire S is a device of superb specification and if I wasn't under contract, I would be getting one myself.

I pre-ordered one, but I'm half regretting it in light of the recent Pyramid leak.
If I didn't already have the Desire hd I would.
--- I am geek. Hear me squeek. ---
I pre-ordered the Desire last year, and currently trying to sell it in order to pre-order the S...
I think it just fixes the little details in Desire that made all us looking for custom ROMs.
More space for apps (that is THE most important upgrade for me), a front camera so that we can make video-calls through skype..., HD video recording (though HTC could have gotten a 8MP cam), and a more solid body that our hands will enjoy (I am still mad about that back cap on Desire that doesn't fit EXACTLY as it should be...)
I don't have any smart-phone yet, and I'm nearly at the end of a 2-year no-data contract with a shiny-but-dumb Samsung, so I'm almost certainly getting one.
The main issues with the Desire are:
Memory's a little too small to install many apps.
Battery runs down too quickly
Overheating and reboots
Well the new device has more memory, more internal storage, and a 45nm CPU which should draw less power and be less prone to overheating, so that would appear to fix most of the problems.
I'm also drawn to the idea of built-in maps and some of the other Sense 2.1 goodies. And Gingerbread too.
The only thing that might change my mind is if the Desire S gets priced a little too close to the Incredible S and I have to pay an up-front cost (on the contracts I'm looking at, the Desire is free).
I would buy one - if the price is right...

it was released in India a few days back & is available in some shops (but not all)
i think the price was 25500 (not sure about this though)
Sold my ol' Desire last month. And now did get the DESIRE S.
It's worth it. from the build quality to camera, dimension..I must say it's a whole new phone.
I really want this phone. I will get it when a NAM version is available. I hope TELUS or bell will pick this up. A perfect phone to replace my nexus one.

i guess that is true as the Desire S has a adreno 205 GPU & the processor is 45nm fabricated
& the original Desire has a adreno 200 GPU & the processor is 65nm fabricated
so the Desire S is faster GPU,less power hungry & also produces less heat
the Desire S also has better 3G capabilities,more ram,more rom,better camera (even though both are 5 MP),a front facing camera,a slightly better battery
the desire S also does not have any axis swapping bug like the original Desire & supports multi-touch with at than 2 separate points
so hardware wise its much better than the original Desire(i guess its better software wise too but i don't have the device yet so cant say )

ur rite kartkk.Desire S was released last week in india.But rite now it is not available in market.Only Flipkart selling it on preorder at 23,749/- bucks
I just did. Sold my HTC Desire for 300€ (433$) to a friend today and ordered a simlock-free and branding-free HTC Desire S muted black for 430€ (621$) online.
I am gonna miss the real hardware buttons (for waking up the device using lockBot pro), but I think I will not be disappointed. And the black color rulez! Hated that brownish ugly bronze of the Desire.

Price drop before the Amaze?

Do you guys think the sensation will have a pricedrop before the amaze 4g comes out... cause i've been waiting to get the sensation since it was called the pyramid... and it'd be great if it had a pricedrop...
Well T-Mobile might or might not drop the price since the Amaze will cost around 50 USD more than the Sensation.
From experience they usually drop price of their previous flashship after a new phone comes out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G Running Bulletproof
My guess is the Sensation price will stay $200 since the Amaze is going to be $260 and the Hercules is going to be $230.
Not much reason to drop the Sensation price since it will already be less expensive than the new phones.
Is there already a xda section for the HTC amaze?
Just found the spec @ T-Mobile and it looks like a spec the Sensation should have had ...
Best regards,

[Q] Sensation outdated?

Do you think the HTC Sensation will be outdated in let's say 2 years? I mean that if it will be able to play most of the games in Play Store and not become laggy...
Is it worth paying 350 USD extra to get a One X instead?
It's already outdated
I dont think its outdated already, because im planning to install ARHD and overclock the CPU to 1,5 ghz, it will be the same power as in the Galaxy S II
But with the Ons, One X and SIII about to come out it's outdated
Yes, the One Series and the SIII will sure beat the Sensation, but i think the Sensation will not be too far behind...
I may try to use magic to get those 350 dollars

Hi,
It's the same with anything.
The moment you walk out of the shop with it,it becomes outdated,as something better is already in the pipeline.
Computers,
phones,
tablets,
cars,
Hi-Fi
etc.

Tell I what I had to replace my stolen galaxy s2 with a sensation recently. With the virtuous inquisition rom I actually prefer the sensation, rom support for it far exceeds that of sii.

the hd2 leo is still alive after 2 years thanks to this awesome forum...
I think that our sensation will not be outdated for more than a year...
NOW I think is a top smartphone, until the one series comes out it is still a top quality and performance smartphone...and absolutely not outdated!...
I see that we have a great support, and our phone can handle everything, the hardware is good...
I think we will be outdated in 1 year....but still supported for 2
**** the S3 will be another typical Samsung children's toy.... plastic crap... and new phones com out a lot... they get outdated probably about a year and a half later... no sensation is not outdated.. and what's the hype about the One series... for T-Mobile its pretty much the same as the Amaze....

Upgrade to HTC One S

Hi Sensation users...
I've done a search and haven't found an answer to this question.
Would it be worth it to "upgrade" from a Sensation to the One S? I know the one s is faster with the new chip but how much better overall could it be?
Also with the screen being Pentile? I've read some people say its ok but others not so. Also i haven't been able to find a comparison of the One S to the Sensation screen?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
The OneS is a decent phone, it features Sense4.
IMO its market similar to the NexusS was, in that its the flagship carrier of something new. NexusS has ICS 4.0.3. Its got basically everything that trumps all other phones. 1080pHD Video, Beats (which some might consider bad but its louder than most AOSP), quad core i beleive?
It certainly is a "all rounder" phone. As my contract with Optus is expiring too (aus) im probably going to go for it. My android enthusiast friend enjoys it very much so.
I am definitely NOT going to upgrade to the one S. In my mind it's only an incremental upgrade from the sensation in most ways, and in some it's a step backward. It's a great phone if you want something like an Iphone, but I just can't see getting a phone with only 16 gb's of storage and no removable battery. PLUS the screen isn't any different, same size AND resolution.
Don't get me wrong, the OneS is a good phone but if you've already got a sensation IMO it's not worth the upgrade. And to answer d2 above, it's only a dual core, not quad.

Haaaa, my OneS friend is a Liar! We have benchmark competitions with our androids for no reason, and he claimed that his "cpu cores" made the difference.
I agree with the notion that its an incremental upgrade. If you are buying JUST for sense4, you can have a ported rom version which works (almost) just as good on your sensation.
thanks for replies... what about the screen? do you think the pentile is that much worse than the S-LCD?
I'm not too concerned about the storage as i currently have 8gb which i don't even use up. But not being able to remove the battery is a little bit of a concern as i want to root etc... and concerned if something goes wrong how do i force a shutdown like taking out the battery?
Id wait it out another year the sensation still rocks especially with CM9 or ASAP, just think of what the next batch of phones will have instore, also heard battery life sucks on the ONE as well :-/
The CPU-Upgrade is quite noticeable. It may "just" be a dual core, but it is almost on par with the quad core of the one x. Due to the lower resolution faster in those testing with the native resolution of the device.
Screenwise... Can't say. Looked not much different than the one in the sensation. But they closed the gap between screen and digitizer, so the viewing angles are better.
Overall great phone. But I would not upgrade, since my sensation fulfills the demands I have for a smartphone.

personally my size limit is 4.3" that's why i wouldn't go to the One X. From the leaks i believe the SG3 will be 4.6 or 4.7? like the galaxy nexus? so it automatically rules it out for me.
my biggest concern in the battery life and screen on the one s. but all the reviews have said its super fast...
hmmm
Plus when you go to a "PENTILE" display from Sensation display you will see pixels. its ugly. Once you see it you cant unsee it. Its like the Droid Razr screen. Awful. origianl super amoleds suck really bad. You either need to go with super lcd 2 or Super Amoled Plus HD(hopefully galaxy III)
If I were you I would not, camera and speed is already decent on the sensation. SAMOLED is better but not enough to justify an upgrade. It does have sense 4 and ICS but you may as well wait until the next HTC flagship device to come out.
That being said I am getting the HTC One S because I'm coming over from iPhone and Sense 4 + ICS is a great way for me to get started.
I just got the T-mobile US Sensation but the One S will be out within my 30-day exchange window. I got the Sensation for free on contract. If the One S is ~$100-125 on sale anywhere, I might trade up. I can't really justify an additional $200+ for it...
Yeah I just got a sensation at a pretty good price outright new so pretty happy about that.
My contract has expired so I was thinking about getting the One S on a new contract. I could sell either one if i wasn't happy with the One S.
Thats the only reason I haven't put OrDroid on it yet although i have been using CM7 and CM9 and am very happy with them too!
I've found in stock the sensation is a little slow and i've been getting FC more times than i would like so far and its all stock.

did you guys get the sensation for free through t-mobile loyalty? I'm about to upgrade in a a few months. I'm thinking of getting the Sensation or the One S depending on the price. If they offer the Sensation for free and the One S for $150, I'll probably go for the Sensation. The main advantages of the Sensation that appeal to me are the removable battery, expansion, wifi hotspot, and potentially price. I don't see why people would upgrade to a One S if they just got the Sensation since they wouldn't be fully eligible to upgrade anyway so it wouldn't be worth it...unless they are buying it unlocked.

I got it free from Costco. Both T-mobile and Costco have the HTC Amaze for free now too. Kind of like an upgraded Sensation, but a bit bulkier. Development for it is picking up, but at the price of free it is also a great alternative to the One S.

Nah mate i'm in australia and someone got one as a gift and posted it up for cheap so i snapped it up
Haven' done anything to it yet but scouring around the dev forums to see which one i like. I am wanting to go with One S software like the OrDroid as it seems to be getting more stable. only a few niggling issues left and the fact that you can run the Sensation at 1.5Ghz is a bonus oh and the removable battery etc...
Definitely not
Can't replace the battery, no SD card extension and soon we will have a fully working sense 4.0 for the sensation which is already OC to 1.5 and up.
I'd upgrade to the One X at least it has a serious hardware upgrade.
I'll probably "upgrade" to a One S. I am really liking how thin it is and I do miss having an AMOLED display. But I'll actually decide once I get to feel and use one in my hands.
I was taking a close look at the One S specs today. It really doesn't look like much an upgrade over the Sensation at all. Same chipset family - 28nm manufacturing instead of 45nm, so it will allow a slightly higher clock speed. Benchmarks don't put it any faster out of the box the what we are getting already.
The only real difference is the dedicated imaging chip. Other than that, it is pretty much just a Sensation that ships with ICS & Sense 4.0. - one that you can't even upgrade storage or battery. Those 2 things are huge to me and the primary reason I stay away from Apple products.
It's marginal upgrade at best. Really quite disappointing.

[POLL] Do You Still Love Your Sensation?

Hey guys I am new on Sensation forum (not on xda, you can see my thanks meter and total post ) and will get my brand new sensation next week.
Do you still love your sensation?
I come from Xperia Neo and want more powerful phone than Neo and i think i got this phone since I dont have much money for one X or Galaxy nexus which is preferrable for me.
Edit: I have my sensation now, use it for one month and love it, so sad some devs moved on but another devs come, now this thread specifically for anyone who want to complain or express how you love your sensation.
I still like but can't say that I love it. After trying out the One X the rose coloured googles have come off. I still much prefer the Sensation for its design (sd card, removable battery, curved screen) but the performance and screen on the One X blows me away.
I like the sensation better than the galaxy s ii. The number of ROMs, the current ICS support, the HTC one S ROMs, (Why get one? ) the overclockability to 1.9GHz, the built in beats audio support, the removable battery and the fact that the housing comes off in one fell swoop(if you phone gets dropped and gets dents, replace it quickly, cheaply, and easily), the ability to multi-boot, and the fact that it's HTC. Doesn't get better than that!

I still love my HTC sensation XE i mean, look at it.. It looks great. What's even better is the support the XDA sensation community gives. The camera's great, its a great phone for gaming, the pixels are just awesome (movies and reading ebooks)
As for the battery life, i get about 21-25 hours a day. But it depends on what custom ROM you use too. Might i suggest you use ARHD ROM as well as Faux Kernel. And also, if you are willing to spend US$30 on an extended 1900Mah Anker battery, go for it.. the battery really helps alot, i have seen some people going over 40 hours on a single charge.
Whatever it is, if you're worried people here stop the support for the sensation, don't be. Its a great phone and once again the community is superb
How did you reach 1.9Ghz???

I sold it and have regretted doing so ever since. Have the SGII right now, but the lack of developer support, ICS, and TouchWiz make me wish I woulda ditched the Samsung instead.
That's exactly why I didn't get the SG 2. It's funny you put up this post. I thought I lost my phone yesterday and was looking at replacements. The galaxy Note is nice with the stylus pen and HUGE screen. But Touch wiz is garbage so nope. Then the just release the One X on Rogers(Canada) and looks wicked with ICS and Sense 4.0, but only 12 GB of usable storage!!! NO SD card slot!!! I ordered a 64 GB card last week cause my 32 GB card is full. Again Nope. Found my phone yesterday...So yes I LOVE MY SENSATION.

how come it's cheaper than the Gnexus? I will be getting the Sensation soon and its available online for about 430-450$ + 30-40$ for shipping! When the Gnexus is available for 399$ + 20$ for shipping or so! from where are you going to get your Sensation and for how much?
Sensation sees some strange pricing. When I was originally looking at phones, I was told to wait for a used mint Sensation at the $200 price mark. I did see a few, and missed out on the one or two that were legitimately mint. Found a few that were beat out or otherwise extremely shady (suspect IMEI would be blacklisted not long after the sale, etc). Ended up "desperate" for one and ponied up $250 for it. A shame since the MT4GS is just about identical, except for the small screen and physical keyboard (and assured hspa+21 and supposedly better camera).
In the NYC area, I see like-new ones go for $250-300 all day long, and new ones around $300. I know TMO charges $550 for it BNIB, which is absolutely absurd, given the GNex's $400 unlocked/unbranded price. Even at $300, the Sensation is a bit hard to swallow, since there's "better" phones for not too much more (sg2's and Amazes sell in the $350 ballpark), although those are used.
On the shady shade of things, if you got in contact with someone in the states who was unfortunate enough to get their hands on a blacklisted unit, you might be able to score it for cheap :x
It's absolutely brilliant what HTC did with the battery cover in terms of being able to replace it and get an almost new phone. The only problem is that there's a small bit of trim on the bottom that's not part of the cover. I've got a new cover coming for mine, but that bit is a little mangled.
All in all, coming from a Motorola Triumph, this is the best phone I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Just running it on the "modest" ARHD at the moment, and it's more than thrilling enough. Can't wait for CM9 to hit maturation though. Hopefully by the time Sense love wears off on me and I'm ready to go back to AOSP style.
I do wonder for those on TMO's post paid, if you were to get a used phone, would you still have the remainder of warranty through TMO? I understand they are willing to swap up a G2X to the Sensation for those having severe issues. Would be marvelous, given that the G2X fetches as low as $150 used in my market. Of course, then you're losing out with the expensive postpaid contract anyway (unless they still do EM+ plans).
For $430+shipping, the Sensation is absolutely not worth it, and really, it'd be a no brainer to get the GNex! Especially if the Sensation really is a 14.4 device and not 21.

I know, i was talking about the original sensation! all online sellers sell them from 430$ to 600$!!
Did you get it locally or online? its being sold for 600$ here in Egypt with 1 year warranty which is a ridiculous price, anyone knows a good/trusted place to get mine?
And if the XE is being sold for 430$ hell am going to get it lol

This phone from the out side perspective looks slow but when you set it up to your liking with custom roms and kernels this phone rocks. If you keep it stock its slow so don't.

How is it slow?
I found the Galaxy S II laggy compared to my Sensation XE and I have not rooted it, running completely stock.
Got rid of the SII because of TW
