What do you think about the sensation? - HTC Sensation

Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug

In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

Are you sure? I had a Optimus 3d and lags...

It does lag but its interface seems even more bloated than HTC sense. Also, the 3 d requires more power.

I love my sensation. I have no issues with it and have never had. Development is amazing too! The only let down is the company itself and their support towards their phones...

I think the phone is good. Though its pretty outdated with all the new phones being released with better stats. But with the custom roms we get here it still manages to keep in the fight.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics

I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.

Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2

Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.
Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.

The BAD:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
The GOOD:
*Everything else

OK guys my uncle wanted my advice on buying an HTC android more specifically between these 2, and I'm not so sure what to answer him as I have seen some bad reviews on sensation but nothing on desire s and also I know that sensation is dual core blah blah and better but what do u suggest?

differences between HTC SENSATION & HTC SENSATION XE

Hi all. I just want to know are there any hardware differences between htc sensation and sensation XE. Is the same CPU? What about the speaker?

From what I have read, its the same phone except they didnt underclock it. Exact same processor running at its normal speed. This can be done by rooting...
I say buy the regular sensation (unless the XE release is free from the dust problem) and then root the phone.

No. The xe has a new sound enhancement through software. But root users are already taking advantage of this.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
It's basically the same phone with red details on the case, and not downclocked to 1.2Ghz, with a higher capacity battery to compensate the higher speed on cpu.
If you must buy the phone take the XE, if you have already a sensation, a custom rom will do the work, an upgrade will not give benefits over a rom and is a waste of money (IMHO)

It's not a best processor, both the XE and the normal version have an Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260. And would be nice to say "better equalization" instead of "better sound", and it's achievable from the normal ones just installing the apposite mod.
The real improvements are a more powerful battery and the better headphones. Neither more, nor less.
Aside from the bigger battery the XE ain't got new hardware.

Same device compare here, XE has Oced CPU, larger ROM and battery, however, stated specs of XE accessible ROM state 1000mib and standard Sensation 550mib. Dont know about the rest of you but I have at least 1000mib accessible ROM in Sensation.

Htc sensation or htc Sensatio XE?

Good afternoon,
I'm thinking about buying an Android device to try and walk since the beginning of the month to choose one ...
I had seen on vodafone HTC Sensation, but a few days ago I saw that HTC released new models sesantion, including HTC Sensation XE.
Like to have your opinion on what I choose, in terms of quality and price, preference the phone that last longer without needing to change. have more support.
I have the chance to vodafone HTC Sensation for 350€ and Sensation XE unlock for 550 €
sesantion specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation-3875.php

There the same phone the sensation is undrclocked to 1.2 where as the XE is clicked to 1.5 the XE looks slightly better in my opinion and has a bigger battery, the headphones are also rrp£79 with the XE

Sensation (1st model)
I got the HTC Sensation -
now there's a Sensation XL!! (White!!) Goodness, I think HTC got APPLE virus, "What comes in black, must turn white!"
I agree with some users here. Get the Sensation & root it. But my question:
1) XE model & XL model have bigger internal memory I think. But the RAM is at 768Mb... that's quite unfortunate.
2) Battery life - yes they are slightly larger = 1,620mA (Can't we buy that as a second battery ? - I would. But my battery life looks alright for the 1st month (after rooting, but I realise the charging to 100% is very slow.) I reckon it could be the voltage or the plug. I actually use the old plug with the new Micro USB cable.

XL only supports 720p video recording and lacks a card slot. I have just got the XE and I'm super impressed with it.
i like my sensation don't think the other models are worth it.. unless you like red and the headphones...
I was always a Sony Ericson man, then got the Desire - fabulous!
Next I upgraded to the Desire HD and now have the Sensation XE - brilliant, fast, good looking. Great sound & free headphones. Amazing phone... go for it

[Q]Is the GSII faster?[Q]

If I'm correct in saying, HTC Sensation XE, the most powerful smartphone in the United Kingdom? However I keep having a blip when watching things on the internet and read certain reviews. I'm almost every single benchmarking test, the GSII gives the Sensation a run for its money.
Now I own a Sensation XE, and I'm a proud owner. However when using my friends GSII I must admit that the fluidity of the system seems much better than on the Sensation. I get the feeling that maybe HTC Sense 3.0 was built to a level that actually surpasses the ability of the Sensation's hardware. If you very very slowly switch from a home screen on a stock Sense Rom you will notice that the animation isn't actually that smooth.
Now it's all good saying 'go and install a custom ROM if you have performance complaints' and all that, but that isn't the point. I don't have a performance issue at all, I just want to know why a device with supposedly equal and less power than my phone, actually bets it in most places. If the GSII can do it on a stock ROM, why can't my Sensation do it?
I've been told that despite the GSII having 1GB of RAM and the Sensation only having 768MB that this should not make a difference.
In quadrant tests, the GSII gets around 6000-7000, the Sensation gets 2500 where as the Sensation XE gets anywhere from 2500-3000. There must be a reason for these numbers?
SENSATION IS BETTER THAN GSII THOUGH!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
the SGS2 is faster, thats the end of it, HTC SENSE kills the phone. By the way quadrant scores mean nothing, antutu and cf are the ones you should be using.
I've also HEARD the the sgs2's teltra processors are just better and that it is always using both processors wheras the Sensation (xe) doesnt always.
It's all HTC SENSE'S fault, if you look at touchwiz, youd easily be able to see why it runs so much quicker.
Benchmarks is lying. The sensation have twice as many pixels, a.k.a they require more power it run.

The Sensation has 35% more Pixels actually.
The GPU in the SG2 is probably better, its not limited by single channel LPDDR2 like ours. But CPU wise they are very similar considering the architectural differences between the scorpion core and the custom A9 in the Exynos. I still like to think ours is the best

Both handsets are really fast, it all boils down to personal choice really.. I played around with an SGS2 for a week and I just hate the way touchwiz or Stock Android roms display the information to me i.e dialer, widgets etc...
HTC sense on the other hand has a lot of eye candy and like I said (its personal choice) it just looks really sexy!!
No Sense = nonsense
If you like the Stock Android feel then SGS2 is the way to go .
If you like sense and want to have a stock Android rom on the sensation from time to time then Sensation it is...
Oh and the sensation running at 1.5ghz is da bomb!
I agree with this!

I tested both devices.
The thing that eventually decided which phone I went with was just how it felt in my hand.
The second I touched the SGSII it felt cheap and plasticy. That I had to be really careful not to break it. And it was not very durable at all.
Just felt like really really cheap material and also looked that way.
The sensation on the other hand feels a lot better - a lot more solid. It has some weight to it. The quality of the materials used just seems a lot nicer.

Whats faster ASOP GSII or ASOP Sensation? this way its fair to judge
At the moment, it would be SGSII I'm guessing, but that isn't a fair way to judge. TouchWiz ROM's are very close to AOSP anyway, Sense is completely modified. Most AOSP ROM's will still have bits of Sense left in because they simply cannot be removed.

If you are a flashaholic would you not be better off going for the Galaxy Nexus?
At this stage you would probably be better off getting a second hand Sensation or SII as long as it is in good condition, would be much cheaper.
s2 will be better then sensation, sensation battry really sucks!! AND my suggestion is XPERIA S!
Don't buy a sensation, buy a Sensation XE. Better battery, 1.5 GHz processor. The ROM's you flash will be the same though.
S2 is a wonderful and fast phone, but I personally don't like is design. It has 1.2 GHz....but I guess it's a little above your budget around 27k I presume..unless you get a nice deal.
Evo 3D and Xperia P are 25k in the market. Both are pretty awesome. Xperia P just looks so elegant though
Best of luck

Yeah, there is no better UI than Sense. And is just looks so good. If you get XE for 24k then is wonderful !
Although I'd like to point out that HTC of its really slow with updates. I got ICS mid easy through July. On top of that there was some problem in the update and I don't have a working Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll have to go to the service centre and install a 'solution' to get it fixed. This however hasn't happen to all XE's. Only to some unfortunate devices. (For more information on this check my thread about it on my profile...I don't want to troll too much here)
About Xperia P...Sony devices don't have rapid and consistent development as far as I know...my brother had Xperia Arc S and its kinda slow.

Hey, I had the desire s for just over a year too and I've just got the one S. I recommend it. Takes a while to get used to the super amoled screen but when you get used to it, it's a fantastic device. It's got a great size screen. 4.3 inch is much better than 3.7 and I think 4.8 is a bit too big. It's also the same size screen as the galaxy s2 and it's a super amoled display so you're getting the greatness of the sgs2 screen on an HTC. It's got a fantastic processor as well the snapdragon s4 is incredible powerful. im getting quadrant scores of about 5000 which is higher than the quad core one x! So get the one s and then you're staying within the HTC community. I've picked up the sgs2 and I just don't like the build quality of their phones. It's like they have expensive hardware chucked in plastic! Doesn't make sense to me and touch wiz is horrible, no problem if like you say you are a "flashoholic" I'm not sure if it's in your budget but it can't be too far off considering it's dual core and the s3 model is cheaper I think
He is right, I guess if you can manage getting One S at even 28k buy it blindly...I didn't recommend this because it's above 30k in the market.
Something I learnt is never by a flagship phone if you are after the next flagship phone is announced or out. I got Desire HD in august '11 and sensation was announced in September. One X was announced as soon as I bought my XE. They just ditch the older one and concentrate upgrading the newer.

i think 22k is a very good price
other alternatives are s2 & galaxy nexus
but before you buy it..are you aware that the one S sold in India is different from the international version?

Still, is it the s3 or s4 version, because with the s3 you would got more or less just a overclocked sensation without sd and removable battery.

Woah I'm glad i've swayed you towards my device! If you want to know a bit about performance and battery life. Look at the 2 screenshots that i've taken from my device attached to this post the benchmark was taken before I got the 4.0.4 update, now I get scores of around 5000
