hi there
i'm a happy owner of a HTC Desire, but i'm looking for a new phone...
after some research i focused on two device:
HTC Sensation (300€ used)
PRO:
-CPU underclocked
-Look (IMHO)
HTC EVO 3D (300€ new)
PRO:
-3D (which means better screen)
-RAM
both will remain stock for about 5 minutes..
which would you reccommend?
thanks in advance
I would only replace my desire with HTC one. Maybe also desire s.
HTC one x. quadcore phone check on HTC site

HTC one x is around 700€...is more than double the devices i mentioned!
From those two, id get the Evo 3D just because i find the 3D pretty cool (yet a little bit gimmicky.)
Also its going for just over £200 here which is about 230 euros i think so maybe look around and see if you get it cheaper. Ebay?
the cheapest evo in ebay is around 400€ in italy!
this (www elettrotop com/ElettroTop/SchedaArticolo.action?articolo=0128441) is the best price i've found...
just a question...
the sensation cpu is 1.5ghz underclocked to 1.2ghz...what about the evo's one?

Are you talking about Sensation XL or what? Where did you get that information about underclocking?

If I were you, I will check the XDA or other forums for your future phone. Without checking, I think Sensation would have more roms to play with. 3D phones aren't that many, only 2.

i've read somewhere that the only difference from sensation and sensation xe/xl (same hardware) is the clock of the cpu..1.5ghz for the xe/xl and 1.2ghz for the basic one...

yes..this is a point for the sensation..however i don`t like ports...maybe with the ics rollout the modding scenario will grow!!

Ye, but those are single core cpu, at least in the XL case. Sensation has dual core processor at 1.2ghz.
Basically you could consider XL as overclocked DHD.

At this point Sensation is just shy of one year old. Modding community can go only towards being worse.

Some of the desire devs, like robocik or baadnws, moved to the sensation after getting the phone. So I'm sure they'll maintain it for some time, but as quoted, it is already going to be 1 year soon. Same with EVO 3d. But for EVO 3d, if there are only 2 roms, there probably won't be more.
I'm thinking since ice scream sandwich is an overhaul of android that the HTC one, galaxy nexus, gs3 would be a good choice.
If ur only choice are those two tho, make sure there is a Rom you like for that phone. Specs and screen are nice, but you'll be dealing with the interface a lot too.

Robocik and baadnwz jumped over to the dual core scene as soon as they went retail. I'm inclined to believe that it will be the same with quads.

well...i've bought the HTC Evo 3D....
I've found a ROM that fit my needs...and maybe the lack of ROM for the GSM version will force me to try to make one for myself!

Is it possible to get that for the Evo 4G?
Perhaps once it is released officially and we can get our hands on it.
I hope so, I'd like to see it for the Evo 4G before I buy the HTC Evo One
it would be nice too see but its not gonna happen, on the htc or ics website there only releasing it for most of the duel core phones only :/

HTC one V is our best chance at sense 4.0 it has 1ghz single core 512mb of RAM with a WVGA screen. That means no resizing will be needed
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Hi all,
I need to know about HTC One V capability for development use, I have low budget but wanted an Android phone which will let me develop applications including games as well, currently using HTC Explorer, which is not good for development, especially w.r.t resolution.
Please guide, thanks

It is an extremely good phone with the latest android os and HTC sense..although it is single core it has a decent gpu and good game performance but not great...it can be used to develop games...

If I were you I'd rather look for used Galaxy Nexus, or choose older device GS2, etc.
Why old phones???

Can you share some pros and cons related to development on HTC One V? or what do you say If I buy used HTC Sensation XE instead of HTC One V...
People say in reviews that it is laggy while internet browsing... any other problem does it have?

Usable memory for one v is also 1gb.. if u are look for a phone for dev purpose get nexus s

Guys,
I know there are many posts like this, but to be clear some of those who prefer to stick to desire rather than one x are hoping for sense 4 including me. Unfortunately shaky discontinued his work and no one is interested so I speak for those sense 4 fanatics that we hope this project is continued again, no ETAs no nagging.

I guess some things are too much of a trouble for the devs, think audio was the main issue apart from other stuff of course. And yeah, let it go dude there are already decent ICS roms out there if u want ICS... Btw if you plan on investing in a decent budget phone with Sense 4 I would suggest the One V - bought it for my girlfriend a few months ago and she loves it! And to be quite honest it simply delivers - it is very smooth and fluid, you get the whole sense 4 experience with a very few corners cut, being a few animations here and there and the helicopter view.
I think we can port desire V rom to desire,the spec of desire v is similar than desire
Yes it was a suicide. It didn't find the sense of life.

Most probably, i doubt they'll drop development of a device only released last year with such great specs, it'd be stupid. Plus even if they drop official development... we're in XDA, the possibilities are endless lmfao.

HOX will receive updates a long time from now. at least an year, i would say 2 years, but let's be more realistic
Updates......... let's not go there, your going to start a *****ing frenzy akin to JB.

I don't care if we get it officaly or not. We have Football, that means we can get even a Sense 6 custom rom)
Yeah, HTC metioned somewhere (cant find it) that flagship devices are ALWAYS supported for atleast 2 years from release.
If sense 5 comes before the 2 year then HOX should get it.

Your definition of supported might include new android releases, but I don't think "support" necessarily imply free OS upgrades...

That's exactly what they did to the Desire about a year after it was released. We got an update from 2.1 to 2.2 and that was the end of that. Kept being promised an update for 2.3 for a couple of months both by HTC and my provider, 3 Network and in the end they ditched it and the entire Desire platform. Which brought me to root my phone and install Cm7 on it and try out a whole host of other roms

In fact, my old Desire HD has been "abandoned" by HTC after 1 year and a few months from the release date. Thanks to the XDA community no longer has android 2.3

Sense 4+ come in about 18 months of sensation Launch and here we are with 3.6, no update until now.
idk
i dont even think if its coming to htc one x, i dont think so because the jellybean didnt roll out to the other one series as well, only on the one x so i really dont know
The HTC One X is a flagship device, I bet it will continue to be developed for the foreseeable future.
Sent from my HTC One X
Usually htc will upgrade previous flagship device with their newer os but with different sense. Just like the evo 3d and sensation that upgraded to ics but with sense 3.6 unlike one x that comes along with sense 4.0. So maybe we'll get sense 4.6 rather than sense 5?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I fall in love with the new sense 5, but I'm thinking to buy a one x in order to wait for a lower price of the new one...
I already have htc sensation, the flagship of two years ago that don't received the sense 4 when htc one x and one s was released, and I'm pretty sure that one x won't receive the official sense 5.. maybe it will be update to android 4.2 and a light "sense 4.5", but nothing else in my opinion! I don't know if I should buy this device and use it for the next 7-8 months.. I'm so unsettled, I don't like tegra 3 cpu... Any one thinks that one x will have sense 5 rom ported from one? I know, it's too early, but I should take a decision in a short time!
I am pretty sure that the devs around here will be able to get it ported. :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm hoping that a backup of htc one image will be released soon, in order to start to have an opinion from devs... I'll decide if I should buy onex during the next week, and after that I've a short time...

One mini has smaller screen than the one x. 4.3" 720p

I would still go for the One X. Mainly because of the better camera, processor and the screen size, boomsound isn't necessary for me right now

I would go for one mini, its a newer phone and just better user expirience using it, and if you are not happy, just sell it and buy one x again with some spare money left, no brainer for me.
Just from the POV of software updates, the One Mini is a much better choice. As we all know the HOX has been abandoned.

But only a small bit. In the future, a new version of android will come out, only for it to be impossible to port it to this phone because of its CPU and the lack of kernel sources because Nvidia ditched it.

It's correct, but in past there are much devices, wich are no longer supported so much after HTC kill official update way. And for Users who love the Sense UI (e. g. me) it is better to go to a new phone from HTC to get updates.
BTW: i think it is better to wait a little bit (a few months) with buying a new HTC Phone. If HTC launched new One M8 phone, the old M7 will be cheaper.
