@baskro1 Your the Nevertheless guy? I love you man! Your reviews are always great an thourough! You've help me and a lot of my friends in picking phones. Keep it up, man! P/S: Keep the "nevertheless" slang! It gives a sense of hilarity and doesn't detract from everything you've review so far, ;-D
The browser isn't as smooth as I would have hoped and not as smooth as the GS2 it always looks like its got a slight jerk to it. The HD video shots look the same also not as smooth as they should be, ones I seen on youtube are not as smooth as they GS2. The worrying aspect of this phone for me is the ram 768 meg and over 450 used on Sense straight away not leaving a lot, they should have put 1gig in like Samsung did on the GS2. It looks a nice phone but I don't think its the top one atm.
Why is it at so low brightnes at this review. I mean even the middle range HTC handsets have better brightnes. So the settings must be low in this review.
The phone is great but it lacks a little bit on the browser. GSII seems much smoother in the browser, but the sensation has some laggy moments in the browser.
@bigsteamfan the benchmark results are not as good as the s ii but it may not be representative of the day-to-day usage.. the galaxy s was horribly laggy. i'm tempted to switch to htc.
First thing to notice is, U have turned the backlight lowest. It looks bloody dark. Please mind these important stuffs coz they give completely wrong impression to the people who did not experience the device.
anyone know this? am I able to turn off the animation of the weather when unlocking phone, along with that annoying sound? how much free ram to users? HTC changed bootloader policy, is the sensation unlocked or not?
can anyone tell me if the HTC Sensation has the standard side slider wallpaper or live wallpapers? or the Sense 3.0 just kills that animation and set a static background? i will appreciate your response
i have this phone, it's a good phone for multimedia and if you are in to performance go 4 s2, if for user experience and interface get this...btw the Sensation has better build quality and may last longer.
So, what I got out of this review, is that in no area, the Sensation is the best phone... HOWEVER, if you want something that can do everything pretty darn well, this is the phone. That and it has HTC Sense, which is a, to put it bluntly, very sexy UI. It might not be as fast as the Galaxy 2, but I'll be damned if it isn't a great phone!
Sgs supports pretty much every codec out there, also gpu accelerated browser,better screen,CPU,gpu,RAM,battery,camera etc,sense UI is the only thing it doesn't have and common,I used to be a DHD owner because of sense,but it drains RAM and battery for no good reason,I'm only in browser or apps I really don't care about UI that much.
I agree htc makes some sexy phones, but you know whats sad, most people believe that the iphone is the only good phone when honestly there are way better phones.
@50CaliberProduction HTC Sensation is a very very nice phone, enjoyable, which is great for any respectable smartphone owner. Galaxy SII is the best phone until now (i think) but it is for business more. You can play games and browsing on it too, but HTC Sensation is cheaper and a very good phone.
@GRGeorgeX There is no need of cursing, swearing and mentioning my mother. It just tells you (im)mature you really are. I will most definitely not STFU, because I am right and you, my friend, are most terribly wrong.
BENCHMARK, man, BENCHMARK... We're all, or at least we should be, all waiting to see if this is better than the current best Android smartphone out there... The Galaxy S II... So.. IS IT ?!?
@GRGeorgeX Whether an app (watch/weather) will be available in a country and/or state isn't just up to HTC as a manufacturer, then also up to laws and limitations of that particular country. Caps Lock and general structure of your posts reveal that you are most likely 16-20 over-frustrated single male... If I'm wrong and you are older, then you are to be felt sorry for. Enjoy!
Nice vid! But where do you get all your phones to review? I am hoping to get this phone.
Is the desire s paticularly bad though?
Jeezzz... i was thinking of buying one! Did you buy yours new?
@Iolayay The Galaxy S2 uses a different file system so lag isn't a issue its as fast as hell.
is it only pinch to zoom? no multitouch?
I've yet to find a PhoneArena review that doesn't mention the iPhone.
great idea to show the screen in the dark !! I can easily see how the screen would look...cheers !!
Gosh You're description of the phone makes me get it even more=]
@baskro1 Your the Nevertheless guy? I love you man! Your reviews are always great an thourough! You've help me and a lot of my friends in picking phones. Keep it up, man!
P/S: Keep the "nevertheless" slang! It gives a sense of hilarity and doesn't detract from everything you've review so far, ;-D
So does the dual-core helps the battery?
What time did you film this!?
Actually the screen is a SLCD display. Please state this because it has a great difference between LCD and SLCD.
omg. I hope the Evo 3D looks as good as this. beautiful.
so.... no deathgrip issue?
Hi, does the Sensation get the ICS update?
Will u be doing a review on the Samsung Galaxy S 2? i cant find any on the channel.
Hey you live in Ealing??? I live just up road...:)
is it me, or does the homescreen swipe seem a bit laggy
I can't wait to get this phone! I wish it was coming out on the 8th instead of the 15th
I run a stock rom on my nexus one anyway! Can't wait for this release In the USA.. thanks!
I really like this phone. It took me a while to get the hang on useing it but once I did I loved it.
@TERMINATORPortugal Which phone is good and has good price? (Android)
Im upgrading from my Galaxy S to either the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2..which one then?!
how is the call quality of sensation
...but will it blend?
How come no browser comes any close to the Galaxy S2?
Filming it a bit late at night? :)
how many htcs come out everyday?
How fast is it?
@ThePvMbros why do you think this guy on the video have so low brightness ?
But will it blend?
is this on full brightness !!!!!!!?
@everlastingtenrai the screen looks like that because its running out battery and phone is on powersave mode
why is the screen super dark its running android 2.3? and is this better than the htc one v?
This may be a dumb question. I know that this phone is going to t mobile, will the international version work with t mobiles 4g network??
@YOUCANNOTDENY
is 3gp worse than mp4?
The browser isn't as smooth as I would have hoped and not as smooth as the GS2 it always looks like its got a slight jerk to it.
The HD video shots look the same also not as smooth as they should be, ones I seen on youtube are not as smooth as they GS2.
The worrying aspect of this phone for me is the ram 768 meg and over 450 used on Sense straight away not leaving a lot, they should have put 1gig in like Samsung did on the GS2.
It looks a nice phone but I don't think its the top one atm.
@eVerlastingTenrai It's him who turned the backlight lowest. The phone screen is really good actually.
Why is it at so low brightnes at this review. I mean even the middle range HTC handsets have better brightnes. So the settings must be low in this review.
OO you live near Heathrow.
Htc sensation or galaxy s i9000 please help me choose
The phone is great but it lacks a little bit on the browser. GSII seems much smoother in the browser, but the sensation has some laggy moments in the browser.
@auzzaroo I think the differences are too minor to really have performance as a huge factor nowadays among the high end phones.
awesome phone. i must put it on my consideration list when i go out to buy a new phone.
@Vlad88667 i don't think so because if it is it will be blurry on the camera
@bigsteamfan the benchmark results are not as good as the s ii but it may not be representative of the day-to-day usage.. the galaxy s was horribly laggy. i'm tempted to switch to htc.
@kartaLaLa if im not mistake, yes. 3gp is the lowest quality of video there is, IMO. i could be wrong tho
PLZZZZ WHERE CAN I KNOW THE MOBILE PRICES IN USA ????/
First thing to notice is, U have turned the backlight lowest. It looks bloody dark. Please mind these important stuffs coz they give completely wrong impression to the people who did not experience the device.
@helmutssss pinch to zoom is not possible without multitouch..thus multitouch is evidently there
10:59 a little bit of misspelling there c:...
can 3gp be hd?
18,900 BHT only , but its expensive than Optimus 2X but equal S II
anyone know this?
am I able to turn off the animation of the weather when unlocking phone, along with that annoying sound?
how much free ram to users?
HTC changed bootloader policy, is the sensation unlocked or not?
htc phones with super amoled screens would be AMAZING
can anyone tell me if the HTC Sensation has the standard side slider wallpaper or live wallpapers? or the Sense 3.0 just kills that animation and set a static background? i will appreciate your response
Dude you have the Matrix guys on your "People" app... Sudden Deja Vu realization :O
If/when Canada gets this, I'm trading my Desire HD!
@TERMINATORPortugal 0k thank you for the answar :)
i have this phone, it's a good phone for multimedia and if you are in to performance go 4 s2, if for user experience and interface get this...btw the Sensation has better build quality and may last longer.
Its a nice phone, u can upgrade it to android 4.0 and sense 3.6... depends on you if you want to root.
@helmutssss Pinch to zoom IS multitouch...
So, what I got out of this review, is that in no area, the Sensation is the best phone...
HOWEVER, if you want something that can do everything pretty darn well, this is the phone.
That and it has HTC Sense, which is a, to put it bluntly, very sexy UI.
It might not be as fast as the Galaxy 2, but I'll be damned if it isn't a great phone!

Samsung galaxy s2 or this phone ?
GS2 is only 800x480, which is pretty weak for today's standards. Sensation has a 960x540 qhd screen, which gives it that iphone sharp text look.
@YOUCANNOTDENY
My thinking exactly! 3gp welcom back to 2003. very strange indeed
Great review! As always.
Which one should I buy?
-Iphone 4
-Samsung Galaxy S II
-HTC Sensation
well this is really old review, when ics havent come yet that time.
best review ive seen! thanks
The situation of people saying "first" in phonearena videos is getting to an extreme level...
its little things like that that just make a phone good.
I agree htc makes some sexy phones, but you know whats sad, most people believe that the iphone is the only good phone when honestly there are way better phones.
Slash Gear has an review of Sensations alleged Death grip and it is concluded that it just doesn't exist...
good vid but do u really wake up up at 10 to 1 to do reviews?
@mikeyshinoda AND WHAT ABOUT THE DEATH GRIP ... HTC CANT FIX IT ..... 4.3' SCREEN IN YOUR HANDS AND CANT KEEP IT IN LANDSCAPE MODE ? WTF ?
@50CaliberProduction HTC Sensation is a very very nice phone, enjoyable, which is great for any respectable smartphone owner. Galaxy SII is the best phone until now (i think) but it is for business more. You can play games and browsing on it too, but HTC Sensation is cheaper and a very good phone.
fhis is the best? :P
Btw nyc review
watched in 2013, still more beauty than the iPhone 5
@GRGeorgeX
There is no need of cursing, swearing and mentioning my mother. It just tells you (im)mature you really are. I will most definitely not STFU, because I am right and you, my friend, are most terribly wrong.
@wieldrecht078 Definitely not iPhone 4.
thanks ! i have made my choice ;)
@Jabbypants i hope so!! coz it's the awesomest phone out there :D
This teaches me to never comment before watching the whole video cause the battery did die on you.
@TERMINATORPortugal I want a phone with dual core and HD video recorder and something like HTC Desire HD but other phone . i live in sweden
@ThePvMbros it cant last for a full work day thats what i am telling you.only if you turn the brightness too low
@espanolman4 specs as well
its the nevertheless indeed guy! :D
We salute you!!
I have it, and its Really Nice
I love the sensation...
Better screen, better procesor, lightweight... yes Im talking about samsung galaxy S2 :)
FINALLY!
great phone!
i dont like the plastic look of the galaxy s2, so htc is my favorite android device
BENCHMARK, man, BENCHMARK... We're all, or at least we should be, all waiting to see if this is better than the current best Android smartphone out there... The Galaxy S II... So.. IS IT ?!?
It Really is A PLEASURE ....
has got a selfie camera
it already have it .
i'm stil next iphone and compare it with sg2
SENSE 3.0 IS THE BEST!!!
