How much can I expect for my XE - HTC Sensation

I bought my 1st Android, my sensation XE, 6 months ago brand new SIM unlocked free. I came from iPhones.
I love android now, and primarily I came because if screen size.
So now I'm looking and see the One X and the S3, leaning towards the S3, seems a lot of probs on One X.
Mate has a Galaxy Nexus, love the thiness over my XE and the obvious increase in screen size.
But I paid £450 for my XE, how much do people think it would be worth? It's excellent condition, never rooted, beats headphones, it was black back when I.bought it, but bought an official white battery back as well.
I have to get as much as I can really to justify to the missus!

They seem to go for about £180 on Ebay. You'll be lucky to get any more than about £230 if it's in great condition

Selling HTC Sensation & Stuff!!!!

Hey all!!
I am going to be selling my HTC Sensation 4G (on T-mobile, USA) once the Galaxy Nexus comes to T-mobile soon! The phone is new, I bought it last month because I didn't want to wait for the Nexus, but now that I see it, I'm going to be selling it for the off contract price on ebay, probably a little cheaper. But with my HTC Sensation I'll be selling my OtterBox I have for it, the T-mobile snap on case, my Zagg Invisasheild (that is on the screen), a generic T-mobile Sensation screen protctor, an Anker Desk Dock, a Anker 1900mAH battery, as well as the HTC stock battery, a 4 GB Micro SD Card, but I will not be including my SIM card because I'll need that for my Nexus, so you must already have a T-mobile SIM Card compatable for their HSPA+ Network. And just because I don't need it anymore I'll be putting in my OG HTC myTouch (red), and it works fine for an old phone, it has paint chipped off of it, but hardware wise it is 100% fine.
So if you would like to buy I am thinking of asking anyone on the forums before selling it on ebay, so just PM if you want to give me a price you would pay for everything!
Wrong forum. Doubt you get that much, though.

oh, thank you! I wasn't sure which forum to post on. and I changed my price. I wasn't thinking I'd get that much either lol

Q - Sensation XE Battery Life Just about to buy phone

I have had enough with my galaxy note the screen has major issues ... ive had it for just over a month after buying from amazon but they have agreed a refund instead of messing around with a repair
I have decided after doing some research to go to HTC (I have had HDH in the past and liked sense) ... I believe the xe has a better battery life and also faster processor (I found the original sensation to have real lag when I looked last year) ... is the battery good on the xe ? or is it worth getting a new larger capacity from amazon I think the best is called anker ??
I am looking forward to getting back to sense .. im not sure how it will be screen wise because I have been spoiled by the 5.3" note screen however its a small price to pay for a screen that doesnt have banding over it
thanks in advance
The processor is the same, just underclocked on the normal Sensation i.e. the Non XE version.
The battery life is respectable on my XE. But the Anker one is pretty cheap, it can be had for about £12 so if you don't want Beats headphones you may as well just get a normal Sensation and buy the Anker battery, then root and overclock to 1.5 GHz if you want.
The screen is nice, it won't be as vibrant as the Note but it's clear and the colours are good.

Torn between the GS4 and HTC One

contract time this coming Saturday
my old man is buying my Razr I on Saturday so I have renew my contract
the only UK carrier I will use is Three
so its down to the i9505 GS4 or the HTC One
GS4 has the facts that battery is replaceable, Samsung seem to support their ex flagships longer than HTC, the developer community seems to be better on the Samsungs.
HTC One, much better stock out of the box and the looker of the two, but non replaceable battery and a support long term from HTC does not seem to be as good with ex flagships vs sammy.
decisions decisions decisions
It seems like you got the pros and cons about the phones.
Personaly I'd go with the GS4, if you plan to keep using the phone for a long time, Samsung's are dev friendly. If you're a short term owner like me (switching phones every 4-6 months) give the One a spin and look forward what comes out this winter.
vote one
I suggest the Samsung Galaxy S4. It has a better camera and CPU. It is also bigger and lighter than the HTC One.

AFAIK both are using same hardware (snapdragon 600) only the clock speeds is different gs4 is higher so it get better performance
so if you like htc one with its feature get htc one if you like gs4 with its feature and better performance get a gs 4
I have a S3... and if the S4 is anything like it, I say "meh" to the cheap plastic construction. The aluminum unibody, on the other hand... So. Sexy. So I go for the HTC.

Would you still buy the OPO today?

My Nexus 5 is getting worse and worse by the day when it comes to battery life. I have replaced the battery and factory reset but still am struggling. Plus, I'm not overly impressed with the HTC One M9 at this point, but I realize it's not on final software yet either. The Asus Zenfone 2 is also appealing, but who knows when/if it will be released in the US.
So, if you were to buy a phone today, would you still consider the OnePlus One? I know the next variant is expected in the upcoming months but curious what you think. I like the price point, especially for the 64gb of memory, but it looks like camera quality is still hit and miss.
I appreciate your thoughts!
Update: bought one on Swappa and should be getting it on 3/20.
I just ordered mine 64GB version for 299 Eur
Hmm Nexus5 to OnePlusOne maybe last year, but this year when OnePlus Two is near i wouldn't buy OnePlusOne, but if you totally need it buy it. It is smooth and looks so awesome.
I'd still buy it in a heartbeat.

I bought a used one a few weeks ago off of swappa for $330. Came with a case and 2 glass screen protectors. Love it so far, decided to buy another used one for my GF too.

Same here. Replaced my S5 for about the same price, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Yes!!! I'm loving everything about mine (still a new user).

Just got mine today, loving it. I'd get a one plus two if it was exactly the same as the one in every way, ie 5.5" 1080p (dont need higher), 64gb of storage, great battery life and cheap. Rumours all point to none of this, along with the 810 being a hot chip. Even the M9 is a hot running device.
I have a HTC One m8, but seeing as the M9 is disappointing and I want a new phone so I bought it today, can't wait to get it! If I don't like it, well theres always toy phones to have
Yes. Got mine few days ago. So far, it's great. Now I have both Nexus 5 32gb and OnePlus One 64gb. It's so great in such a small price tag that you won't regret even if the Two comes in few months.
So if u consider to buy a phone today, definitely go for OnePlus 1.

Thanks for all the comments! I just purchased one on Swappa, now to sit and wait.
No, I wouldn't. The missing feature of mhl makes it almost completely useless with my app radio which I used heavily with HTC one m7.

Lol I got mine 2 days ago. And I must say, pros>cons on this phone. I absolutely love it. I don't care about the customer service and that it doesn't work as quick as people would like them to work. For the price of this phone and the specs, you have no right to complain about anything tbh?
I bought one , Broke it . . Tried the OPPO FIND 7.. broke and returned that.. now i just got another ONEPLUS . Love the easy customization and the ONEPLUS ROM Scene is busy..
oneplus one will be brilliant choice!
OnePlus Without second thought.
He had everything you have in Nexus 5 and so MUCH more, plus with this price tag it's a no brainer.
Just bought one a few days ago, coming from a fairly beaten up Galaxy S3 (no screen cracks, just dinged around the edges and crashes a random app once every other week or so) one big reason I switched is that even the new batteries I bought don't seem to last long.
I got the tempered glass screen protector with it and I love that, never going back to plastic.
I was worried if it would seem too big in my pocket - I would say, the S3 is a little more comfortable to have in pocket, but the OPO is OK. I basically wear jeans every day and they're not too tight, otherwise, it could be a problem.
It feels like a good solid quality device and I'm glad it doesn't get hot running Clash of Clans the way my S3 does.
The ghost touches on this thing are driving me crazy, it's going back up on Swappa.
I wouldn't buy a phone with Snapdragon 810 so I'm not looking forward to any of the flagship (and killer) this year.

Can I ask you why?^^

Curious about upgrading my phone

I currently have the HTC U11 and I've had it for 2 years now and I'm thinking about a new phone. I've searched around but I don't see anyone weighing in in my question specifically so I thought I'd ask for some opinions here. I was looking at the S10+ and it's obviously an amazing phone but that price tag is kind of out of what I'm willing to spend on a phone. My question is, would an S9+ be enough if an upgrade from the U11 where I won't really miss the bells and whistles with the S10? I have always had HTC phones and since I'm on Sprint right now and the U12 isn't an option, I was thinking of this route. Any thoughts? Thanks!
S9 Plus can be bought on eBay for about $550 as of this writing. With dual speakers, a camera that's slightly better, and dimensions slightly narrower but a bit taller, it's hard NOT to consider it.

Does your U11 have any issues or you are just bored? Just curious.
