So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?
Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.

Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Well the sensation isn't too old you can still hang on and wait or if your in a hurry the xperia s doesn't seem that bad just low dev atm...

Xperia isn't much of an upgrade!! It still has the sane old S3 chip, not the newer & much better S4 one!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.
Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!
Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Physically I think
Storage is never big enough for ANYONE

I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???
One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...
LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.
I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

Just the development alone from DEV's on the Nexus line is more than enough.... NEVER again will i buy another Android Phone that is not the Nexus line.
The sensation should be too powerful but mine is laggy as Hell since getting Android 4.

guys i have the option to get a new phone and im looking to get either the sensation for free or the one s. i just dont know if the one s is really worth the upgrade it or should i just stick with the sensation thats free till a better htc phone comes out?
im worried about development for the htc one s cause the sensation has a lot of support in this forum and a lot of roms and im scared the one s isnt gonna get as big as the sensation.. what are your takes?
thank you
I personally don't see any upside to the One S honestly. No storage extension, a non-removable battery, not a quad core. If you're looking for sense 4 the sensation has some stable and fast ported roms from the HTC One S.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
thank you man thats what i was thinking as well. i just dont know how stable the sense 4 for sensation is but ill look into it.
I just tried CoinDroid as my first Sense 4 ROM today - so far so good! No stability issues at all, and the camera's burst shots is DAMNED FAST.
But isn't the one s super amoled?

Both are still qHD. Amoled or not is simply a matter of personal preference.
The One S not having quad core is in fact better. (S4 > T3) Pretty much the only thing that appeals to me is the S4 in the One S.

Well what are the disadvantages of qhd super amoled? It's just so eye popping, you can't see your reflection on the screen when in use, better in light, less power consumption, larger optimum viewing angle, what isn't there to love about super amoled?

i currently have both the sensation and htc one s
and i have to say that HTC ONE S IS FRUSTRATING when trying to root , backup, restore or anything
the sensation was so good to me.
but the htc one s is faster than the sensation.
there is one bug with the htc one s when rooting and flashing to a diff rom is that wifi doesnt work. and i need my wifi.
if u r thinking on upgrading dont go for the htc one. SUCKS honestly.
stick to the sensation!

Between the two the non-removable battery is a deal breaker...
just my .02
One S has much better camera if that is important to you. I mean the actual sensor itself. Great in low light situations. However you're stuck with about 10 gig of user space and that can be kind of crippling with no external sd card. With the Sensation I have a 32 gig sd card which is great but I wish my camera sensor was better. Especially in low light.
HTC really likes to stick us between a rock and a hard place sometimes!

You guys do realize that this thread is almost a year old, right?
I currently have the sensation. I'm up for an upgrade. I have a choice between the one s and the Samsung galaxy s3 . I hate touch wiz and I feel the dev presence is awesome on HTC. But the Samsung is completely awesome. So if I could get feed back it would help. It seems a bit off sided because I can only get one s and not x

Well, if you hate touchwiz, then there's not really anything you can do about it. Of course some experimental sense might come, but they aren't gonna cut it. Go for the one s, you'll not regret it
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
GS3 has more features. But touchwiz could be gone with cm9 when it comes out or apex launcher to get u by. I will probably return my one s on the 19th since its my last day to return it. But this phone is good though. I just need a removable sd card since u only get 10GBs

I think you should wait for review on the phone. Usually some site will get it before release date ( phonedog,etc).
I like samsung, but its too plain for me and big.

Go to engadget.com they have a review on both phones.

Development on the GS3 will be greater, and faster, since Samsung doesn't lock bootloaders, or lock the phones with S-on.
Now ask yourself; did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Yeah I think I definitely getting the s3 I need removable sd. I just ain't feeling the unibody. I loved my galaxy vibrant but I'm a sucker for.new devices
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I would go with the S3. It has a bigger display and its hd compared to qHD. Plus it has a micro sd which is incredibly useful since the one S barely has a lil under 10GB of storage.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
If it weren't for the size of the GS3, I would say absolutely go with it, since really the only thing the One S has over the Galaxy is its a reasonable size...and sexy slim. Other than that, the GS 3 either matches or trumps the H1S in every other category.

I got this phone free w/ 2 year contract. Its a great upgrade for me. But if I were choosing a phone that money didn't play a part in it, I would get something else.
Get a phone w/ a removable battery and micro SD card.
Sure I'm happy now, but cell phone batteries only last 400 - 500 charges. No way around that. Good class 10 SD cards keep getting cheaper.
I will be sorry after a year or so with this phone. But I'm happy now.

I don't think it's meant for one x users to upgrade. It came too soon, and also it's not ground breaking. It's to attract new users to one x line while also competing and/or surpassing the competition (galaxy s3)

at whats point do we have "high development"?
everything has come to a stop lately, minus the handful of broken JB roms.
not too much to do more until jb sense rom is out. maybe some new devs might come if we get s-off or root for 2.20.

There isn't much more to add to Sense ROMs that we don't have.
For AOSP, we have CM10, AOKP and Miui... Among others.

Our development is so much more than what other phones have. We have multiple great AOSP ROMs. None of which are broken, in my opinion, but I can see where you are coming from when you say things have come to a stop. It has slowed but I'm a patient person so I guess it didn't bother me too much.
i dont mind waiting at all because devs do an awesome job. I just hope if they get the One X+, we won't be forgotten!! :L I want to hold on to my evita for a while longer yet!
Hey, I'm sorry to threadjack a bit but I don't want to start a new one because this one is pretty basic. If I were to get a new One X that wasn't on the 2.2 OTA, unlock it's bootloader, root, and put some CM10 on it before it developing some stuck pixels or some manufacturer defect like that, how would I go about getting it into a condition in which the device support center folks won't process the return normally? This is very easy on the Inspire 4G
relock bootloader and run the 1.85 ruu. pretty much all you can do.

Great news. I swore off HTC because they were pushing out hardware so fast but they lured me back in with this device. When my next upgrade comes around...so long from now... it'll definitely be a nexus device. So tired of this bootloader game and the headache they cause.
Ugh. I had the hox before when it first came out and the bootloader was locked. I liked the phone but the multitasking stuff and the lack of space and the non- replaceable battery made me go back to the galaxy line. Well ive been missing my x lately so I was looking to get another one and obviously wanting one that can be unlocked to run roms and stuff. But now I see this one coming out. I'm curious would it be better to wait for this one? I do like the fact the battery is bigger and the phone space is bigger since u can't use an sd card. But I'm sure the bootloader will be locked up tight. Wonder if I'm not better off just finding a used hox. U guys ever run into issues with only having 16g?

I honestly have not had issues with storage. I use drop box for pics and videos and Google play music for my collection. Most other things I have on my tablet such as games and other apps. So storage for me is OK but it may not be for you. I to will be getting a nexus for my next device so I will be keeping the one xl until then. It has been a perfect device for me. Awesome devs here and great people willing to help.

While I'm still mad at HTC over my original tegra 3 one x, I can't help but lust over the x+. I've run out of storage on my one xl due to my music...kinda sucks. I'll wait to see how development pans out for the one xl first before making the jump though. It would seem 2.20 has our devs stuck. Wouldn't want to buy the x+ and be stuck with the stock att ROM!

haha lucky I got my bootloader unlocked a while ago. custom stuff is no problem for me. and it's a shame you've only got 16gb for the AT&T model. I've got an unbranded One XL so therefore i have 32gb
The One X+ looks like a pretty significant upgrade to me.
Just a question to those saying that they're gonna get the next Nexus - do you really want an LG made Android device and one that may be named the LG Optimus Nexus G? Rumor also has it that it will come with carrier bloat and a way to install LG's custom interface.
The Nexus phone being the flagship Android phone is no more. Google, sadly, isn't going in that direction anymore.

Neither One X, One S or even GS3 are worth upgrade from Sensation tbh. Might as well sit it out till Xmas or March next year. And i'd avoid tegra3.

Opinions are like... Well you know... And I'm offing this thing ASAP to get a note 2. Easily a worthy upgrade. As far as on topic, as has been said maybe for a one x but one s just disappointed the hell out of me. First smart phone I ever had was HTC and every one since; but they need to open their eyes. This year was an abysmal failure by HTC. Especially for tmo customers. I honestly want to know who thought no removable memory/battery was a good idea. When's the last time you heard someone say "this phone is great but I just wish they would lock the battery up and not let me expand the memory." Just because Iphone does it doesn't mean it's right. I'd be hard pressed to even find an Iphone user that didn't want to take the battery out and expand the memory. That's not even a feature, it's a lack of a feature. 2 at that.
