Ok so i know that posting here i would exspect most to say Evo (and i am posting here because i am using the EVO at the moment) but if you had the choice now which would you go for and why?
I have both at home now and am really struggling to decide which to keep.
Looks wise the sensation gets it in my opinion.....but that said i often feel i might drop it because of its sleekness.
Camera wise sensation gets it as i am very unlikey to use the 3d long term...its a great gimic at the moment but long term not sure how much i will make use of it and content seems very little around at the moment.
Screen - EVO gets it, when looking at both side by side Evo is brighter, whites look whiter if that makes sense, dont know why as they are supposed to be the same screen but there is definetly a difference.
External speaker - Evo gets it, the sound is more 'full' and not as crisp as the sensation - volume wise i would say both are the same.
Battery wise the EVO should be better as its larger but if i went for the sensation i could swap the EVO battery into the Sensation
Both are running 2.3.4 so no difference there although the EVO does feel smother for some reason.
Ram is bigger on EVO although not sure how or if i would ever see the difference in this.
Happtic feedback....EVO is better...i know not everyone uses this but for some reason when this is used on the Sensation there sounds like something is loose as its not a 'solid' vibration like on the EVO maybe its a build quality issue but it really niggles me to the point that i would need to switch it off if using the Sensation.
Sensation does full HD which for some reason EVO dose not? is this due to only having 5mp camera or do you think this will come in an update? Full HD is really the standard now on the latest smartphones. That being said i have noticed that when recording in full HD on Sensation the playback is a little 'choppy' at times, might be due to memory card issues...i read somewhere that a lower class card can have this effect (class 4 in EVO and Sensation) not sure if this is true or not though.
These are just a few of my thoughts and observations and i welcome your help in making my mind up.
You almost gave you own answer, the full hd is possible on the EVO but it probably be choppy, and 720 o ain't bad for a phone , well I use a camcorder for vacations , anyways I like how the sensation looks but I prefer my EVO 3d, for some reason HTC makes some ok designs for cdma and makes great ones for GSM phones
Besides that which one has better coverage where you live and work , I would put that in my list

I say go evo 3d. I love my Og evo and will be picking up a 3d whenever they are around 200 or so on Craigslist.

Both are on orange in the UK. I would say call quality and reception are equally good on both.

I'd go Evo 3D. You don't have to use the phone in 3D if you don't want to. You also get 1Gb RAM. Bit more than Sensation.
Lol, I was gonna ask what carrier you had. Figured it was sprint vs t mobile but since its the same service.....

I was dithering but opted for the 3D. The Sensation has the prettier casing, but the 3D is nicer to hold in the hand. In my opinion anyway.
If I want super high quality photos, I use my camera. Everything else I now do in 3D as it's just great to have the depth etc of 3D. Many think it's a gimmick but I genuinely enjoy it.

I'd say EVO 3D. The specs, screen, and bigger battery are enough to convince me. Although I must admit, the Sensation looks damn sexy... but that being said, it does feel way too slippery for me. Too sleek. The RAM on the 3D is also a BIG bonus, and I'm sure the 3D will get 1080p recording eventually. EVO 3D.
I would say go for an EVO!!
EVO 3D please!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I originally had the sensation but then sold it and upgraded to the evo 3d. I would say go for the sensation, even though the battery in the evo is larger it seems roughly comparable to my old sensation.
The screen on my evo3d is very dull compared to my old sensation and that touch screen problem makes playing my favourite games a hassle.
3d is nice but I would rather have a sexier phone tbh you can always slap on an awesome phone case and it'll feel just like a 3d
If you ain't got 3D, well, ya ain't got 3D.
LG Optimus 3D (T-Mobile/P920)
I vote 3d
.
if your getting the sensation xe DO IT NOW, if your getting the regular sensation DONT DO IT lol you can take 3d boobie pictures bro come on lol

Try dsp manager, they purposely made HTC surround sound worse. Beats mod sucks compared to dsp manager.

So I had bought an HTC Sensation this past Thursday. Yesterday I noticed dust behind the screen. Googled it and found it was a big problem for some and they exchanged it. Being within my 14 days I went today to exchange my sensation which T-Mobile did right away. Get back to work and start setting up the phone and notice an even bigger piece of dust under the screen! I went back after work to get a third one. The guy there then let me see the amaze. I liked it but do like the looks of the sensation better. Amaze was faster and smoother.
So basically I am the kind of person where yes dust under the screen annoys the crap out of me and I expect more from paying that much for a phone. So what would you do? Get a third sensation and hope for no dust or get the amaze and deal with the looks? (I love the back of the amaze but hate the metal ring, but it is starting to grow on me)
you answered your own question seriously bro
I'm thinking along the same lines as the OP here...got seriously burnt (and annoyed) with the Sensation, had 2 units both with exactly the same problem and have now received a full refund the piece of crap! So...I do like the looks of the HTC units and my wife is in the market for a new phone (upgrade from the Desire) and the Amaze fits the bill...and so far from googling, I've not foun any "serious" recurrent problems...
On a slightly different topic, but still sort of related (!) can anyone tell me if the Amaze 4g unit will work in Australia (I know there is no 4g here yet, but its coming next year apparently)?
I still say sensation because if development but amaze is picking up so for the more ram but mostly camera sensor maybe amaze.
Sorry. Guess I didn't help at all lol

I came from a Sensation and sometimes I rather miss it., because of the dev community. It is a solid phone that looks good and has the right size weight and thickness. (only if you get the ones without the dust in the glass).
I upgraded to an amaze because of the camera, dedicated video and camera buttons, NFC, larger memory, built in 16gb and also better front facing camera. At this point I like it a lot. The phone works well and the pictures are an improcement, (more details in low light).
IMO the screen seems to be more vivid and brighter than the sensation, even tho they say it is the same screen.
I am just waiting for the Amaze dev community to grow and this will be even better than the sensation. (bad timing for the Amaze community cuz of waiting on ICS, dev doesn't want to put too much time into and older build when ICS is coming in a moth or so.

I had both as well as the Inspire 4G and the G2 and I would say the Amaze is the best phone I've ever used hands down. Just like all phones, development takes time but it is progressing at the same pace as anything else I think. I was happy with my Sensation but the Amaze is just so much better.
As a totally happy and satisfied user of a rooted glacier, would I notice any substantial improvement in just the overall experience of using the phone?
The only major plus I see is the larger screen in terms of real tangible differences that I would notice immediately.
Are there any "must have" features that the amaze would deliver that the average user would notice and benefit from?
Wow cool to know this because I went to tmo amd I WAS going to buy the sensation but I decided to get the amaze. I bought it full price,
500$ for sensation, 529$ for amaze, and here I am )

Welcome fellow Ruby user. For the extra $29, you have at least future proofed your phone for an extra 3-6 months with the extra stuff that the Sensation doesn't have.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a former Sensation user and love it. But the Amaze has more RAM, better camera (backlit illuminated), better front cam 2mp, dedicated camera button and video button, louder speaker, NFC, faster CPU out of the box (even tho the Sensation is underclocked with the same chip), larger battery (but doesn't last as long), and IMO a brighter and clearer screen (even tho it's supposedly the same screen; maybe I got a better batch this time).
Enjoy it.
So initial impression from sensation was that this amaze is definetly bigger. Couple hours later and I'm already used to it and love it.
Camera buttons are awesome.
Stock for stock it destroys the sensation.
I'm a very happy guy right now

TBH, you have [legally] 18 month software support. Even further, you get a PHENOMENAL camera and 4g support. The Amaze will have much coming to it over the next 18 months.
Hey guys I'm looking for some help, I have the sensation 4g I love my phone its pretty awesome but I can get an amaze as trade for free the amaze is new btw. That being said should I make the switch I am user that likes sense I do like 3.5 better then 3.0 specs wise do you guys think this is good? Now I know most of you by now think its a no brainer but my concern is with roms the amaze section looks pretty empty roms wise its a pretty new phone do you think more devs will come to it, will ics be easy to port once its complete for the sensation because they are pretty close now to having a working ics rom anyways thanks for the help just trying to make a decision on two good sense devices
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with Beats Audio using XDA App
I'm not a developer, so I can't say whether ICS will be easy to port. However, HTC has already said that they will be bring ICS to the Amaze. My guess is that one of the reasons that there aren't many ROM's out for the Amaze, is that the developers don't really want to cook a ROM now only to have to do it again for ICS in a couple of month.
Forgive me for my lack of faith in HTC but neither manufacturers have a good track record for updating quickly but I doubt they will on time, it looks like xboarder has a wip thread tho so that answers that he seems to be one of the few cooking up roms. Ima just have to start kicking the habit of flashing roms lol any thing that anyone feels makes the amaze a totally superior device or should i stick with the sensation n wait for another device?

Read all the posts... Understand your concerns... BUT imho - its absolutely still a no brainer.
Its not the quantity of roms that any device has available. Its the quality.
Xboarder's are excellent and extremely stable.
Mike's revolution hd is a very solid stock-like rom
I haven't even tried NRG's because I'm so happy with the others but I've read good things about him/it.
And both Sense 3.5 and Bliss 3.5 are available by Xboarder - i haven't played around with them yet but again... I've read all positive comments.
I look at it this way - the Amaze out performs the Sensation in a lot of ways (not by much but still an improvement). The development has really been picking up over the past couple weeks and if I were in your shoes - i wouldn't hesitate to pull trigger and go for it
That's my 2cents

dont forget the Amaze just came out, the sensation has been out since late summer so of course it will have a deeper Dev section, the Amaze will to in a month or so, especially after ICS is released.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if the amaze is viewed as a must have or just a hold over until the next best comes out. Look at the Samsung vibrant. Viewed as a must have so it got great dev support. Then look at the sgs4g. It has very limited dev support since it was not seen as a must have phone but more as a slightly upgraded vibrant. By the time ics gets released the galaxy nexus will be full force. That will definitely be seen as a must have. I agree that a few rock solid roms are a lot better than many half assed ones. Im not trying to be negative or bash on the phone as I believe that this phone will get great love. Im just saying that it is possible it gets overlooked if its viewed as just a sensation with a good camera. Either way I am definitely looking forward to getting this phone tomorrow.

Lol i actually am trying the amaze n after the first day with nrgz28s rom I was sold this phone is superior to the sensation in every way camera battery life and build quality mostly its a big shame that most devs with the sensation may not see this device for what it is alot of them moved on to the gs2 and for me I just wasn't impressed with the resolution on that device and would have perfered an untouched gs2 with the exynos processor and 4.3 inch screen 4.5 was too much with the low resolution that being said the amaze is a great phone I hope more devs will come really not to say x n the current devs aren't good but from looking at the roms x needs a hand real bad so we could see roms speed up I want a stable version of sense 3.5 as it is much faster n better then 3.0. Hope HTC holds there promise n brings ics to this phone because it will be amazing with hardware acceleration

Download a terminal emulator from the market, go into it and input "dmesg" do a search for "panel" or "panel_type" and it should say something like PYD-AUO or PYD-SHARP. The AUO screen is built by ACER and personally I hate it. It does have better colors but the refresh rate is messed up or something and there is terrible ghosting when the screen image moves. Also, they all have a red tinge to the display if you tilt the screen at all.
I actually just saw a dmesg dump from Binary on a kernel thread and found his panel is an ACER one. This scares me.

Hopefully most people I talk to don't think its a big enough phone to switch to they see there devices holding them over until ics devices come out. Once you own it you realize what a good device it is hopefully HTC keeps its word n gives us ics

HTC Sensation XL vs HTC Sensation XE which one is better ? Why ?
Please provide me information since I'm new to android.
Thanks

Hey If I can figure out myself which is the best I wont be asking this question here. Anyway thanks for the reply. At least you replied when everyone ignored it. Thanks again mate.
I'd go with the xe. Better screen + performance.
thanks for the info
Yeah I'd go with the XE too. But if a super fast phone is something you don't care about compared to a bigger screen, then you should go with the XL. That's why I said it depends on what you want. It's not really about which is the better phone here, it's more about which features you would rather have. I think the white XL looks really nice. I'd go with XE because of the dual core processor and smaller but higher resolution screen (more sharpness) and 1080p video recording (dual core).
Performance and spec wise XE is better in everyway. The only advantage XL has is a bigger screen (though of lower resolution, so it won't be as sharp as XE, but will be great for watching movies).
Click thanks if I've helped you.

To sum it up, an idiot will go for XL for its huge screen yet with a more pixelised display and a slower outdated processor yet being more expensive than XE.
XE.

Getting an XL instead of an XE is just plain stupid in my opinion.
Dual Core vs. Single Core
256ppi vs. 199ppi
The XL would have been my dream phone - but then HTC screwed it (thanks to WP7) by not including an SD slot, leaving you with about 8GB for a very media-centric phone - I just don't get the rationale (other than R&D costs).
It was at that point I left HTC for Sansung (the S2). I love HTC's premium hardware, and the XL was tailor-made for me, but they always seem to make one jarring omission (memory here, RAM elsewhere) which ruins the phone.
Anyway, just my two cents
both tooooo big!!! but I think the white one is better for women/girls

I had that opportunity as well and I went for the Xperia s. The s kicks the shiet out of the sensation.
Sensation? U serious?
u should compare sxs with rezound. though it's kinda (very) hard to find one.
XPS is better spec wise, it looks good and the software is nice. Maybe if you really like HTC, you could choose the Sensation, but in any other case I'd say XPS > any Sensation model.
Xperia S is way superior man. XE has pathetic optimization and a pathetic camera and screen.
Seriously man, I've had the sensation and one of my friends uses a sensation XE,
Personally If I were you I would go for Xperia S.
XE is 2nd best htc phone
