[Q] sensation vs inc. s

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

Why have you chosen the Incredible over Galaxy S II?

Hi all
I'm looking to get a new phone, and it might be a Galaxy S2 or a HTC Incredible S.
What were your reasons to go for the Incredible S instead of the Galaxy S2?
Thanks
Dominik

The SGS II wasn't released when I bought the Incredible 2.

I got mine for $150 used (barely though), and sold my x10 the same day for the same amount.
It was a huge trade up imo...

It was simple economics. I got my IncS for $300 brand new, in box. The SGSII was selling for $549.99 at Bell. The SGSII won't do anything MORE than the IncS, it will just do it faster, brighter and clearer. Everything I wanted to do with a smartphone is possible on the IncS and I saved $250.

And you could say "Sure, but if I get a 3-year contract, the SGSII is only $169.99". Well I don't like contracts and being locked in to a payment for that long, the freedom of owning your phone and being able to choose what to do with it is much more appealing.

The only reason I could think of is price. I would love the sgs2. But i got my inc s as a warranty swap with HTC.

build quality
SLCD screen (no SAMOLED+ for me after seeing the screen issues SGS2 got cuz of it)
Sense UI always better than Touchwiz
and looks better..

I got my IS for $200. Also, the SGS2 is beyond big.

4.3" is too big for a pocket device. The Incredible S is just slightly larger than an iPhone 4 (side by side), which is tolerable.

^you shouldn't forget that the GSII is the thinnest phone till date, its quite easy to fit in the pocket.
At this time of the year, if you have the money for the GSII then get it.Its a far better choice than the IS.

Thickness is not something that I really look for in a new phone these days, since all phones are roughly 10 mm thick, give or take 1-2 mm. That's not much at all (excluding sliders like Torch, Desire Z, etc..). I care more about the front-facing profile. A 4.3" phone is significantly larger than a 4" phone.

4" is just the ideal size, 4.3 doesn't hurt either. There used to be a time when even 4" was considered to be too big.

Slightly off topic, the HTC HD2 is the first 4.3" phone out there. Look at how successful it is now.
Maybe for ppl, it takes time to get used to a >4" device.

I'd go for the galaxy s 2. Looks nice. Has a nice screen. Decent battery life and cameras. Also its one of the first if not the first hardware accelerated android device so its super smooth.

SGS2 was delayed from April to May to June and whatnot. IncS came at a good price so I took it.
Didn't think that calling, messaging, occasionally using FB, Tumblr, Twitter needed dual core processors.

Urgent Help to choose please

Hello Mates
i'm just hesitated to buy one of those 3 devices ( HTC Sensation, I-phone 4g,
or Samsung S2 ? please need urgent help !

These are 3 devices btw I would suggest deciding between Sensation and SGS 2. I think for most people SGS 2 is better, but decide for yourself and try them both.

I've been watching a lot of these today. My conclusions:
I prefer the black blacks and contrast of the S2 Samoled screen, but you may prefer the colour accuracy of the Sensations IPS, or the iphone 'Retina Display'.
Galaxy S2 is fastest. In everything.
Sensation is better built and more pleasing to my eye, although the S2 is thinner.
If you were staying on Stock ROM, the S2 has the best apps, the Sensation has more polished widgets. Sense launcher and lockscreen is more customizable on the Sensation.
Personally i would put CM7 on whatever i buy, and my layout and configs would be exactly the same as they are on my N1. The only thing i'd be looking at is the build quality, screen size, aesthetics.. and mostly the power!
If battery life is important to you the iphone wins, with the S2 having the bigger battery of the two Android phones and the longer life.
Hope that helps.
Edit: I still haven't seen anything that makes me want to replace my N1. It still blows most devices out of the water, even after all this time! It it wasn't for the screen wonks i would replace this one..with a brand new one!

Sensation all the way!

[Q] Upgrade my Htc Sensation for the Galaxy Note?

I currently own the Htc Sensation, I bought the device since my HTC Leo had a horrible accident... Broke my heart, rest in peace HD2... And I repidly had to find a replacement, at the time it was between the Sensation and the Galaxy s2. I Decided on the Sensation since I liked the Sense UI and the solid feel.
After having the Sensation for a few months, i never felt completely content with it. The screen is slightly narrower and actually felt much smaller than the HD2. I pack my device to the fullest of apps and with 32gb micro sd card almost full with media.
But I just feel it isint as impressive as the HD2 even though its faster and more powerful.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note really worth it? I would be buying it Unlocked. Does it pack that extra punch that makes it the next phone I will keep for a while?
Thanks

I have both sensation and galaxy note...but now i use note only...reasons are
Screein is bigger and better though i miss natural colours of sensation...but much better then sensation...
Battery is a lot better...my note runs 1 n half day without charge...and sensation hardly runs for even a single day...
A lot better reception for both calls and wifi then on sensation...
No grip issues...
Louder then sensation...i dnt have to look at it again and again for missed call...
Its a lot faster then sensation...
S pen obviously...
Sensation gets hot when used for long...nothing like that with note...
Awsome voice cancellation...
Few things better in sensation...
Camera...i found pics taken from sensation to be better then on note...
Sense UI is the best...
Samsung dont update as fast as htc...
Miss those awsome widgets...
Sensation back cover built quality is better then that of note...

Just some opinions :-)

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
