Hey guys,
I'm currently choosing either the sensation or the inc. s as my next phone.
opinions?
- i heard sensation is a little laggy/buggy and that is has wifi issues. (i use wifi ALOT)
- also heard the sensation's screen is a bit more "washed out"
- sensation is more future proof, and has a better design overall. (imo)
- i prefer the 4" screen of the incredible, but not the back design. (maybe i'll get used to it though!)
- audio quality is important (through headphones)
thanks for the help
sensation and incredible s is both being offered at the same $0 on a 3 year so price difference is not an issue.
i'm also not interested in rooting/modding
I think the Incredible is enough, if you prefer the larger screen (4.3"), should be choice Sensation. Because the dual chip of sensation is less quality compare with Galaxy S2...
If both cost the same and its a 3 year contract, go for sensation. Sent future proof with the dual core.

Pick your pros and cons
Mine:
Sensation
pros: - Dual core (It'll last awhile but honestly.. i dont think any phone will last a while at the rate they're currently coming out!)
- Since you don't like to root.. you'd get sense 3.0 instead of what's currently on the incredible and I'd assume that you'd get more updates on the sensation
I wish I could help you more but I've honestly never had or even played with the sensation yet.. (I've only had the incredible S and would LOVE the sensation)
Incredible S
pros: - 4" Screen (I love 4" I don't like any bigger)
The cost (It's cheaper here in Canada (~250-300), as opposed to sensation (~$500)
- I like the back! Phone will also last a while!
Yeah.. I don't have too much reasons, I don't even have both the phones anymore (Just sold off my incredible S for the Motorola atrix and DAMN I REGRET IT motoblur is absolutely terrible.. I've rooted it but I still hate the UI and everything. I have to really focus the 5MP camera on the atrix to get a good solid picture, the incredible s takes pretty solid pictures without trying to focus!)
If I were you.. I'd go for the sensation
a) It's worth more
b) It's better in most ways
c) thats it sorry!
Well I have been in this Chaos for the last one month and thats the reason I didnt buy any ..lol..
HTC Incredible S compared to Sensation:
1) Compact perfect size
2) Very good battery life
3) Expensive for its specs. I mean only abt 100$ price difference from Sensation.
4) Laggy on some HD games like I played Avatar on it and it laggy.. not smooth
HTC Sensation:
1) official full sense 3.0
2) Dual core (future Proof)
3) Touch screen issues
4) Worst battery life. (poorer than DHD)
5) Massive size
The main reason I dont like Incredible S is because its not future proof and I had the HTC Desire and its not very fast comapred to that. Just slightly better
The Reason I dont like Sensation is coz it has worst battery life and not as fast as other Dual core phones.
why not GSII ?

Lack of Sense, Lack of Good build..
Same agenda... Grunt...
I'd go sensation, or if you're able to wait a little longer, hang on till the next device is released whether that be the holiday, bliss or kingdom

For the same price I would choose Sensation, without hesitation.
Incredible S : CM7
I almost went for a sensation but 2 things stopped me:
Screen problems - widely reported all over the net, check out the 106+ page thread in the Sensation forum IIRC, still no effective solution to solve it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129272
Price (UK) - Currently, for a limited time - Carphonewarehouse are selling the Inredible S for 270ish which is imo a great deal (hence i bought it).
If you can wait, wait otherwise imho - you can't go wrong with IS
thanks for the replies everyone
leaning towards the incredible s after hearing about several issues withthe sensation as well as the smaller 4" screen. i hope sense 3.0 (minus the 3d animations) come to inc s though

It will not go past the fastboot, recovery page. Any idea what I can do thanks?
What were you doing to brick the phone? any details on what was happening at the time?
It crashed and I removed the battery but I have had my XL exhanged for a new one although was almost tempted for a different phone. ie the samsung galaxy nexus 1 and nokia lumina 800

whatever you did plz dont do again whatever you do. we have root, recovery too so happy flashing. backup before doing anything at all.

Well if U have to choose between those 2, I would say the XL, better camera (my opinion), better design, the performance is not bad.
About the screen problem, well yes, there are few people who reported about scratches or cracks, but, it's quite easy to avoid it: Buy good screen protector, don't put it in skinny jeans all the times, when U have to put it there, try not to run, jump or activities makes your legs/hips work to hard. Follow that, U'll be fine
Camera? Well, what can I say, Stunning! The best I've ever use apart from the One Series
***However, If U don't have to choose between XE or XL, get yourself an HTC One X, much much better to be honest***
Thanks for replaying fast guys..
About the HTC one X, i have tried the camera isn't that good comparing to XE or XL..
So there's no problem with 720P video record and single core ?
Nope it don't have any problems

It annoys me when people say dual core is better than single core both the XE and XL have a clockspeed of 1.5ghz. The extra core in the XE does not magically make it more powerfull. In theory the XE should be better at multitasking. But by that logic. It will be much slower with applications that support only a single thread, as it can only utilize one 750mhz core.

Buy xl , in my opinion it looks better than xe, but if you like new sense 4.0 i mean full sense 4.0 not lite version ,then rather buy xe
Thanks, and as i can see by time the XL will get Full sense 4...already now Beta ver
and not worth it to buy one-X right ? as i can see there is Auto restart and heat up problems with one x
Every phone has it's own flaws. When you start comparing you would never buy one. I kinda was disappointed at first, of all oppinions about dual/single core but at the end you get a phone not wife So go see them in the store, scroll the menu and you will decide
doovd
XL is better than XE in my opinion it does not matter that is single core it is smooth and fast....it has bigger screen aswell and the battery life is much longer than any dual core phone but the speed is the same U can't tell the difference I think.... but thats only my thinking
Thanks for ur feedback all, i am getting XL after tomorrow

Exactly. I am holding off getting the one x because frankly my sensation xl feels smoother and more responsive in general operations as well as browsing the web. Despite the quad core multitasking is much worse on the one x. You can't switch between apps smoothly like on the xl without having to reload. Oh and battery is much better on the sensation xl than the one x.
If you're into custom ROM development, go for the XE

XE.
XL is 1.5 GHz single core
XE is 1.5 GHz dual core. That is 2 cores at 1.5 GHz each not 750 mhz each
The deciding factor should be screen size. XE will beat XL in performance any day...

It will beat it, if you are hacking in to FBI and CIA. Why should we bring up always the "beat" word. What is there to beat? If you buy a car you don't go to race the s*it out of that engine, right? There will be always something better. We are just talking about the advantages. There are flaws of course but it is still a nice phone....
I support Chaki with this
i have bought the sensation XL i realy like it and i didn't find any problem with it ...until now
Cool. I wish you lot of fun with it. And hopefully you never expirience any problems with the BIG BOSS
EDIT: It takes lot of courage to purchase one of that unit from HTC. For that price you can get Note, S2, Nexus etc, etc.
But hey, we have b*lls and we can be different LOL

Hello guys! I'm gonna get the XL for 400€ (I just love the design and the big screen) but I'm not confident in performace (XL < XE & Galaxy S2) and battery life.
I hate lags of any type (while typing, scrolling, web browsing..) so... how does the phone feel with custom ROM + kernel? How can I customize it? I get some relief from stock? Is it worth 400€?
Thanks!
I've used both the XL & XE and i found the XL to be much smoother, especially when using sense. I assume that is because although the XE is dual core, sense 3 - 3.6 does not support multi threading, so only one core can be utilized anyway. Also battery life on single core devices is much better than dual cores

In my opinion, I reckon that the SXL overall, is a great phone. This is my 1st HTC phone and I have been use it for the last 4 months. So far, I am very happy with it and I would only change it for the new HTC One X
It has got a great screen size (perfect for watching movies or live TV), the screen resolution is very good, soundwise it's perfect, fast enough for scrolling and web browsing.
Already tried different custom rooms, rooted and unrooted it couple of times and did not have any issues whatsover. The only down side for me is the battery life, either with stock or custom rooms, if I am on wifi or 3G mode for few hours a day, I probably have to charge the phone twice a day. Apart of that, everything else is great
in my opinion is not worth it.....I have a XL and it is not bad phone but not big support even if u are rooted....today just went to get a new phone and I got Galaxy S3 and is hundred even thousands times smoother and better but it is your choise....It is good phone but all depends for what you gonna use it...if you want roms not worth it....

Yup. If you wanna jump from Rom to Rom the XL is not your choice. But it is a rare phone coz not everyone has bought it due to singlecore which everyone thinks is a bad thing.
Beside that it is a nice phone. It has his flaws.
I have bought it even after i read that it has singlecore and the XE has dual. When i was in the store and touched the two i was thrilled by the XL.
You got to make up your mind
hi i have an htc desire x which is dualcore i know that the sensation has 1.5 ghz single core is it worth to change it for that phone i like because it has big screen and its cheap
Sv: is it worth to get sensation xl
Maybe but it doesnt have mant custom roms. I will sell mine because it seems that its not verry popular here

Well, the Sensation XL is my first smartphone i ever had.
I wouldn't buy me another one. In my opinion other phones are better than this one. If someone has other opinion please tell them to me, i have the phone now for ~1 year and in the last 2 months i am not "good" with this phone. (Sorry for that bad expression don't know how to write it in english actually).
Well there are a lot of awesome Developers for this phone, sorry i am too lazy to list them up here . But the amount of custom roms isn't that high as the poster in over me posted.
I wouldn't buy another one of it, because of some reasons:
- Not many Dev's
- This is my 3rd battery in 1 Year (this is not a reason against the phone, but its a reason for me).
- There are better phones for this price (I can't list some, but i think so).
Hope i could help you

It is only your decision! If you are up for more gaming and ROM flashing then it isn´t a choice at all.
But then again, i love mine it still serves me well. After a year i still got the original battery and it keeps me warm more then a day :laugh:

I've also have used my sensation XL for a year , also still stuck battery. We are still devving for it , and the best part is that it is hard to kill unless flashing something from a different device on it. The last week mine sensation XL is mounted to my Linux laptop because we are trying to compile cm10.1 for it, so instead of flashing again and again and again I temporary using my sensation if you can get it to the right price then go for it
