HTC Incredible S Comparison

Can someone please suggest me If i shoud purchase HTC Incredible S or should i wait for HTC Sensation. I have heard of all the talk stating HTC Sensation being loaded with Sense 3.0 while Incredible S may get a limited update to Sense 3.0.
I would also like to know if Skype is available for download on HTC incredible S?
Thanks..would really appreciate the help

I have Skype on mine (though there is no video calling).
Personally I would wait for the Sensation now, if you're willing to pay the extra. Which isn't to say that the IS isn't a good phone, because it is, but you might as well get the latest and greatest if you have the choice. The Sensation will have more fancy animations and such.

I would go with the Samsung Galaxy S II instead of the Sensation. HTC is locking the bootloader on the Sensation and who knows how long it'll take someone to crack it. I also like how the Galaxy S II has 16GB of internal storage already as well as more RAM.

Doctorsax,
There is no video calling? then y does it have a front cam? isnt that for video calling? jeez!..i thought it had video calling...but then i guess u r right..its betta to wait for Sensation...hopefully that wud be out soon..Thanks for ur reply
Doctorsax,
Hey can u plz explain me whats bootloader? and isnt Samsung Galaxy S2 too huge in size? i mean does it fit in ur pocket? ...and i read that the battery life of samsung galaxy s2 isnt good..but once again different ppl different opinions....

Well price is not that big of a difference, so sensation would be a nice choice if you really want HTC. As Someone else sais, Samsung galaxy s2 is deffinatly worth watching at too!

dont buy a sensation! im pretty sure the battery of sensation would be really bad. its a tradition of HTC from winmo -> android in last 10 years. the first piece of any hardware change got bad battery. a recent example would be inc S battery gets 2X using time than battery on DHD.
Wait to get a HTC Sensation 2, I bet you sensation2 would be a masterpiece.

Well sensation 2.0 would take sooo long to come..and by then we might have other phones lined up and i will end up waiting for them too ..hehehe
I guess samsung galaxy S2 is really good? but i hope it fits in the pocket..lollll..any idea bout battery life on that one?? n i guess the price wud be so much!

Also been considering 3 devices mentioned - SII, IS & Sensation....
- Samsung is pro with the battery, unlocked Bootloader...design is a bit plastic...but it depends
- IS is for the ones that want to use phone purely as is....with minimal customization environment provides
- Sensation Battery worries me, however in case it will be updated to latest 2.4 with Dual Core optimizations etc might stand a chance. When will this happed though ?
Sad thing is locked bootloader on both HTC, didn't know that is wide spreaded ...but in case you are within reasonable demands user - this is the optimal choice....

i would sell my IS if sensation comes out..but sadly..i dont like 4.3" screen...it is too big for me..
rooting? i own a xtc clip..so i pretty much don't care.

You think a 4.3" screen wud fit into our pockets? hehe

Sense 3.0 ports for single core devices are looking promising!
but if you are going to be on stock for awhile and want some power, i suggest holding out for the sensation.. or by then, the IS price will fall and it can help you make your mind up

Do not buy a Incredible S, it sucks! Is just a scrap phone for a lot of money! It sucks in ALL!

hmmm really????
can someone plz explain me what does root by xtc clip mean?

First, HTC said they will not lock bootloader hereafter. However, they never said when they will unlock current phones. Fingers crossed.
For video call, you can always install Tango from market. Personally, I prefer Tango over Skype.
In turn, the mentioned reasons shouldn't affect choosing Inc S or Sensation, or other brand phones.

My Incredible S sucks ! I also have an HD2 with Android inside which is a lot better, more powerful and more compatible with many applications. I'm a bit disappointed because for example I cannot use Skype and Sip applications. Trying to call via this phone with these kind of applications is impossible. Battery consumption is a lot faster than the HD2. And sound reception call quality is pretty bad. Sometimes, it seems I'm talking in a conduit or a tunnel. Many echos ...

[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

[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...

[Q] Switching SG2 or HTC XL from x10 any suggestions

I am planning to switch phone SG2 or HTC Sensation XL from x10i, any suggestions which one is better with out the price capping only the performance. TIA

if you are more about the performance than the functionality/convenience, take the S2; otherwise take the XL

Owned both would recommend sg2 for performance, camera, memory, custom roms. XL for looks, screen size, audio beats, performs pretty well.
I gave stuck with XL and sold my sg2.

+1.
The SGS2 is more powerful, but it feels all plasticy and horrible. I just can't stand samsung phones for this reason. they feel so cheap!
SXL may not be the most powerful device around, but it does everything most people will ask of it and it looks fantastic. I'm more than happy with it. I know plenty of people with smaller android phones who just love the screen size...

i'm selling my SGS2...tired of that plasticky feeling, crap audio quality, mediocre battery life and TouchWiz can't be compared to Sense in terms of everything

If you have the chanche, wait until April for HTC Edge/Supreme. It's 4.7", but with superb hardware. It will be presented next month on MWC.
I just think it's a bad deal to spend +400 euros on "last year" phones when the new generation is a few months away.

just went from x10 to xl myself, great choice!..
if you dont feel you need a more powerful device (why would you ) i would go for it, i got it cheap since the new lineup is comming, and planning on keeping it a while! just my opinion

is it worth to get sensation xl

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
