PhoneArena presents a brief comparison of the HTC One X and Apple iPhone 4S.
The HTC One X has been one of the most-anticipated handsets for the first half of this year, and for a reason -- this is the first phone powered by a quad-core processor, and not only that. The One X seems like a dream come true for every geek with passion for smartphones.
However, it's not only specs these days, so you can't judge a device by its specs sheet. It is time for the One X to go through the ultimate test. It's time for it to face the iPhone 4S!...

I read the whole article.
The guy has literally no idea what he's talking about.
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-One-X-vs-Apple-iPhone-4S_id2998
The iPhone 4S is a great bit of kit, but c'mon!
Even though the iPhone 4S has lower pixel count, it actually has the upper hand in the pixel density department (330 ppi vs 312 ppi).

Basically, you are presented to a 4x4 grid of icons, and that's that. Of course, you can change the wallpaper, but that's as far as personalization goes on this device. On the other hand, though, this makes the iPhone 4S extremely easy and straightforward to use. It also means that the platforms is very light, so there's almost no lag whatsoever, no matter what apps you launch.

One would think that the One X would be the ultimate device to type texts or email on, due to its giant display, but in reality this isn't the case. The design of the keyboard isn't good enough, which limits your typing speed, due to a higher risk of key mispressing. On the other hand, the iPhone 4S only has a 3.5” screen, but its QWERTY keyboard is designed in such a way that typing doesn't present any problem. As a whole, you can achieve relatively the same typing speeds with both devices, which is a loss for the One X, since it relies on so much more real estate.

The smaller screen size actually isn't a problem, since the iPhone's software increases the size of the important font in order to make it easier to read. At the end of the day, you still have to scroll and zoom in or out a lot when surfing the web with both phones, but the iPhone makes this whole experience much easier on the nerves.

I'm not even going to bother starting to pick holes in the things he's written because, frankly, it's all rubbish.
He misses some of the really important bits of both phones, and turns every con of the iPhone into a pro, whilst neglecting features from the H1X (e.g. I find Safari unusable as the browser doesn't re-flow text on the fly when you zoom. This is the single most useful feature in any Android browser)
Lame review site makes lame video.
neeeeeext
I hate that guy voice...
It's clearly that he is biased toward the iPhone. The browser on the One X is a giant compared to iPhone, yet he prefer the iPhone just because the HTC renders the text (while it can be turned off).
And I didn't know that iPhone is comfortable to hold, is isn't ergonomically design like other phones, very easy to strip out of the hand without a case, and it's even heavier than the One X given the smaller size
For the camera, One X is much faster in continuous shooting while iPhone has 0.5s delay per shot. I don't know about One X's quality but the 4s's image quality is bad to my eye (since I have used to my Canon DSLR)
@qpop: Now that you mention those things in the article, yes..It's completely rubbish...
I saw Iphone 4s's drop just over a feet on the floor and completely shatter the screen. Great build quality :x

guys pls ignore this review..............phonearena gave one x 7.8/10 and nokia lumia 900 8/10..........for non biased review go thro' engadget,they have rated one x camera better than 4s and s2 with some awesome sample pics.......
Turned it off as soon as he said they like the iPhone browser better, how ? :|
Not even Tim Cook could like the iPhone one more :|

This bit especially made me laugh (posted by the user a few posts up!)

It really isn't difficult to change your homescreen around on Android, so this just made me quite literally 'laugh out loud'

I don't understand the responses here. What is it that's so biased? With citations? In many ways the iphone is still better than one x right now. Some preference may be reversed with future updates, but that goes without question. You can't make a present comparison without future updates. I thought the comparison was thorough, pretty accurate, and pretty fair.

I wouldn't go that far....they're completely different.
iOS is more tightly integrated between software/hardware. Has better battery life, you can't deny it. I could get like 9 hours screen time when I had on and still have battery left. And games run better/more optimized.
But otherwise, the video was a joke. Honestly.....how is that do working for phonearena and being allowed to test/use all these goddamn awesome phones.
Gimme the One X and i'll make a better comparison video.
I know many of us are yet to recieve our phones but my girlfriend just asked me how long the One X will be considered a top of the range phone for. Will we see out the length of our contracts with it or will something else come along in the next year and trump it?
Discuss.
There's always something that will pop up that will be better. There's no possible way to see nothing better than the one x for two years.

Agreed. She isnt getting a one x anyway, she loves her DHD too much.
Well I've been reading up the Samsung s3 and its going to be on level par to the one x but its said the one x display will still be better than the s3 which isn't due out till end of the year and tbh I've had my dhd for 18 months and yet in all that time I've not found another phone that would interest me until now the one x is going to hold its ground for at least 12 months then start losing its thrill but I reckon it will be between the 12 month and 18month Mark where something else will be the next big thing.

Since 2010, HTC themselves have gone from the Desire >Desire HD >Sensation/SensationXE >One X. Even if you ignore the minor change in the sensation range, that's four new flagship phones in less than two years.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the One X will be trumped before the year is out, but that's just the way the market is (if it wasn't, the One X probably wouldn't exist today).
All you can do is pick the phone that's right for you and enjoy it while you can. There will always be something else around the corner.
That's just my opinion of course

I'm just saying, you have no idea. You seem to be predisposed to HTC, so you probably favor the one x. S3 isn't even out yet, so I have no idea how you can judge by specs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
As with any electronics, just get the best that you can afford at the time you want it. That's really all anyone can do. New models of phone, TV, HiFi, etc are out all the time, no question HTC will have a new 'flagship' model out within 12 months from previous track record.
My reasoning for getting the HTC One X is that my Desire that I bought 2 yr ago has held up pretty well until recently, also thanks to good ROM support here. The fact that this is a Tegra 3 phone and also that I had good experience with my previous HTC phone helped the decision that it should last fairly well.
Other phones such as GS3 might have some things slightly better/worse but I don't expect it to be night/day differences.
I would not be surprised if the Galaxy s3 processor doubled many of the ONE's benchmarks. So what? In the real world it will make little difference.
For at least the next year, both phones will still be much faster than 70% of other androids and both will run everything as smoothly as an iPhone. The processors in both the ONE and the S3 will in 2 years time be 5 or 10 times slower than the latest processors, but the difference in user experience will be trivial. Both will still run buttery smooth because the demands of android will not increase at anything like the same rate.
There will also be many more wifi hotspots to compensate for the lack of 4g and many apps will use cloud servers rather than the phone for processing. This will make benchmarks matter even less. In other words, by 2014 the ONE and S3 will look obsolete in terms of benchmarks but will still work really well for all the tasks they currently perform.
By 2014, both will be struggling with some games. More importantly, they will be lacking the new killer features from 2013 and 2014 such as 4g, light field camera, desktop mode, and built in Google TV. These will remain on the drawing board throughout 2012 but may become premium features by 2014. They will require new hardware components that probably wont be found in any phone that is built in 2012.
This is the bottom line: the ONE will not become obsolete due to any lack of processing power or benchmarks (which is all that the S3 will challenge it on) but rather to the lack of new features that are still in the development phase but will eventually require new and additional hardware components that neither the ONE or S3 have.
HTC changed their approach this year, dont think they will release anything else other than special editions of these. Maybe chuck Beats headphones in the box and give it a different lick of paint.
They want to rebuild the brand, get it plugging higher numbers again. Im just surprised they opted for different CPUs either side of the world, strange marketing move that one. They should have just stuck to Tegra 3 and plugged the gaming support or something.

Except Tegra3 can't handle 4G without a separate radio (which kills the battery). Hence S4 for the LTE/4G versions, and Tegra3 elsewhere since quad core sounds better
Real world, both processors are near enough to equally capable, with each excelling in particular areas.

Krait supports LTE, which is only used in the US.

It really is dependent on what you consider a long life expectancy. I'm still using my HD2 and love the fact that I can flash so many different OS's and Roms to it. Lets be honest and HD2 with a good ROM and a huge/fast SD card gives the Sensation a run for it's money.
The One X will be one of those phones that will hold it's ground for years to come because of its raw power (although 1GB of RAM really?? ya could have upped it for a brother).
Kinda confused how some of you are saying the SGSIII is going to have a worse screen etc.....and I highly doubt they are going to wait until the end of the year to release it. Would be shooting themselves in the foot. Not like Apple where if they don't release something, they'll be fine for a while. Everything is pointing to a release soon, it's in carrier testing in korea already. Plus, they want to get in on the marketing opportunity of the London Olympics which is going to be huge for promoting the phone and getting the worlds attention.
It's also rumored to have the SAMOLED HD Plus so idk how you know the One X screen is going to be better along with 20+ of people you've asked, they haven't even seen it yet.
As for phone longevity. The One X will certainly become overtaken by other phones by the end of this year. There is so much competition within Android, though we already know the few top handset makers; HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc...The user experience will still be fine, though battery is my worry. Non-removable and with phones like the Razr Maxx getting absolutely stunning battery life, I can only see other flagship handsets coming with gigantic batteries also while keeping the slim profile. I mean, the phone is already unibody and theres no cover....why not just put a bigger battery in there?
If you want the phone and like it, just buy it and enjoy it until you feel ready to upgrade. I'd personally opt for Krait because Tegra 3 is running on a generation old architecture, but thats my opinion.

Your clearly dumb and ignorant.
I'm stating facts......if it was the other way around and Samsung came out with the SGSIII already while everyone is talking about One X rumors, would you say the One X is going to come out the end of this year close to christmas??
Thats nearly a 2 year phone life cycle.
And what if they were saying OMG SAMOLED HD Plus is so much better than the One X screen when the One X hasn't even been released yet?? Wth do you say to that? Oh your just a fanboy, stop trolling the forums....this isn't a 4th grade debate.
I'm replying to the HTC fan troll how about that?
Maybe make some reasonable arguments and posts. Instead of just calling other people trolls. I didn't even say anything that made me sound like a Samsung fanboy, and thats because I'm not. I look at the specs, the facts, and base decisions around that.
The One X is good, but the One XL is better IMO. Tegra 3 is running four cortex-A9 cores built on the 40-45nm fabrication process. It's the same cores being used since the HTC Sensation and SGSII.
Look at Krait, running a brand new architecture built on the 28nm fabrication process. That's a pretty big gap, and it's showing in most of the benchmarks (though benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt, they're a good hint at relative performance). 28nm fabrication means, less heat, less energy, while keeping about the same level of performance. But Krait has more pipelines etc...resulting in it being much faster than the Snapdragon S3.
Don't just go around calling people trolls, you sound like the 4th grader.

it runs smoother
better battery life

i feel most apps using the full power of the one x could be more than a few years away (longer than the contract anyway)
now i really want the answer to be yes. I am totally undecided what to do
Any phone gets better over time

Short answer,
Hardware: Yes
Software: Yes
Long answer,
Hardware: HTC is getting enough PR about One X faults right now that they'll most likely at least quietly tweak the manufacturing process. If the PR gets louder, they may come clean, but that is unlikely unless issues are extremely widespread.
Software: Every single phone get's better firmware/OS over time, happens with most technology related products. The development forums are already fairly active, they'll be packed in 6 months time.
HTC have done themselves no favour by releasing a ridiculously embarrassing firmware (any firmware from a massive corporation where a main app/driver related to power is in the wrong folder is simply unforgivable). The hardware side of things looks to be disappointing, early adopters are always in my mind real testers, as these days so many flaws seem to escape Q&A, some of which you'd wonder if a phone was even tested. However the hardware flaws don't seem to yet fall under a category of anything out of the ordinary for a new product launch these days.
i remember this happened with original desire and it got better so answer is yes it will

Hardware changes rapidly and so does software. People were saying the exact same thing about dual core / quad core on computers and now it's at the point where most new applications *need* multicore CPUs in order to function.
My honest opinion would be that the nexus doesnt really beat it now and if you got that, within 6 months you would be regretting it as the nexus would be lagging behind specs wise.
To me the battery life seems to depend on the person. I came from the Galaxy S2 and the HTC beats it hands down, some people are reporting otherwise.
As for better camera, the HTC`s is probably the best on the market at the minute.

Galaxy nexus is not smoother, even though HTC isn't completely smooth when running large widgits. (Run a live wallpaper on the Galaxy Nexus and watch it crumble to its knees due to its very poor GPU)
Better camera? - you cannot be serious!
Better battery life? - the galaxy nexus doesn't even stack up to the SGS2 regarding battery life, & I've done many personal battery tests comparing to my SGS2 , and the HTC ONe X has a better battery life (even with 1.26) when compared to the SGS2.

just about every comparison i have seen the camera gets beaten by a lot of phones on the market.. Hardly seen one that says x one is the best.
But its what the real people say not the reviewers.
Thanks for the advice peeps, still swaying towards the one x even though the reviews have not been as good as expected.
There will be light at the end of the tunnel...
shedboy,
All phones will have a period to iron out the bugs and glitches. If your an early adopter than you will be a tester for HTC as I am for sure they read XDA for user experience. In 3-6 months time, new firmware will bring the HOX to a stable state. Patience wil get you a long way...

Just want to be really sure, after all i will have it for 2 years. I am coming from a desire.
How the hell can HTC mess up by putting the battery file in the wrong folder ? its dose not fill me up with confidence .
When you get a device at when it releases you're tend to have bugs but since HTC giving so much importance to One series you can see lot of updates happening over time. I'm sure HTC is capable of bring a really stable firmware in future. When I say future I mean maybe in 3 or 4 months.
Regular apps doesn't need Quad Core but new generation games do. nVidia is already making Game developers to design games that take advantage of the Quad Core so it's not in future it has already started. We have a strong hardware we just need some work on drivers and firmware which is fixable.

Where on earth did you get this information from? It's all wrong!
I upgraded from the Nexus to the One X and the One X is better in every way.
Seriously, the Nexus's camera is absolutely terrible, the stock firmware is laggy and the battery life sucks. It also feels cheap and the back battery cover is really flimsy. The only goood thing about it is that it's a "Nexus" device, so dev support is very good for it.
No offense, but you'd have to be incredibly stupid to get the Nexus.

Probably Yes, and the devs at XDA will surely find a way to make it perform better.
But now, Software wise The Galaxy Nexus is still better than the One X. It performs better in almost all software aspects. Since it was the device ICS was specifically designed for.

I would say definitaly!
I've had both. If the one x is kept up to date by HTC which I expect it will. The one x is MUCH better hardware wise. Sense took some getting used to but u can always root and stick a special Rom and stay more up to date that way if HTC falls by the way side. This phone is beautiful in every way. My favorite part is the way the front glass is smooth all the way to the edge of the phone. If you rub your hands across it u get this buttery smooth feel to it and its the only phone like it. They did a wonderful job making it feel like such a premium device.

Hey man,
As you're in the HOX thread you probably won't get very objective responses but maybe I can give you some pros and cons to weigh.
iPhone 4S:
- if coming from a previous iPhone, it will be easy to transfer contacts and no need to learn anything new
- price is lower now (? correct me if I'm wrong)
- easier-to-learn/use (depends how tech savvy your sister-in-law is)
- jailbreaking is easier and less complicated than rooting (some may disagree)
HTC One X:
- performance powerhouse (quad core!)
- AMAZINGLY beautiful 4.7" Super IPS LCD2 screen (honestly this bad boy's screen is the best I've seen, even compared to the iPhone 5)
- very customizable
I honestly think the HTC One X is the better phone, but if your sister-in-law is not a very avid gadget fan and wants everything to just work, she would probably appreciate the iPhone 4s more.

hmm, i looked at amazon and the price for an iphone 4s 16Gb is 600€ and the hox cost only 470€ ... O.O
@Dylan:
Sorry bro I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "when it will be realized" or "HTC One X 5". Is that what the next HTC One X is called?! Haha.
I know that Verizon is going to be releasing a refreshed HTC One X+ in 1 or 2 months (according to rumors).
@Donn!e:
Wow, man that's cheap!
Dylan, if price is a big issue for you and Donnie's post is accurate, then by all means go for HTC One X :good:

the hox is better than the iphone 5. let alone the iphone 4s. iphones are the ****tiest, most boring, overrated pieces of **** ever to roam this world.
you can only do what apple decides you do for starters, let alone the fact the hox has way better specs. it has a BEAUTIFUL screen. it has a quad core. it has nfc. and best of all, it runs android.
anyone these days who chooses an iphone over a android handset is missing out big time. All the iphone sheep like to bring up the fact that theres loads of apps, but all i noticed was that theres just 4 or 5 apps with the same functionality, and they're all paid apps (whereas android would offer a free one and /or paid version) and half the time they don't 'just work' like the iphone is supposed to.
i can't wait for apple to get pushed aside again just like back when microsoft did it with the desktop pc market.

HOX is 10x better because:
If they could lock you down as much as they want you too, you'd be doing iPoo's in an iToilet right now.
Because iOS6 is rubbish.
Because Apple are greedy and want more and more money from you.
The list could go on?
HOX is quad core
HOX has beautiful screen
HOX has tegra3 CHIP!

Seriously, this should be SGS2 vs iphone4s
And it would still be the SGS2, it's just more powerful - simple.

my hero was the only phone that wasn't quite as good as an iphone (in terms of pure speed and app availabilty). even then i still preferred it! and now thats changed a lot because i bet the roms are better, AND theres more apps.
i hate crapple
one x. hands down.
I would get her an iPhone if she is not the kind to install custom ROMs and what not. The iPhone 4s has a stable but stale OS right out of the box. She has to do a million things to her One X before it is stable and a daily driver. I don't know any women installing custom ROMs on Android phones. All my women friends that have android phones complain about battery the whole time and when I tell them to root it and install custom ROMS, they are scared of losing their warranty. So I would say the iPhone 4s.
so seriously how long was the one x htc flagships phone for, they seem to be bringing out bigger and better all the time!
one x+
this new htc j
im not overly impressed i thought me one x was gunna be flagship for a while yet, why not make what u have better rather than replacing,,
cnuts
It's still the flagship
the J is not out anywhere but Japan and the One X+ is just a tiny refresh of the same damn thing with the same damn software
but no lets all hug and cry
"One X+ is just a tiny refresh of the same damn thing with the same damn software"
this is my problem get it right first time!! and u dnt need to "refresh" f all

think of it this way if ur willing to pay more and get a 64GB version you will get few extras with it
its a smartphone company, its all they do, unlike apple, samsung, sony, google and the rest of the damn world
believe me when i tell you Tegra 3 is already at the maximum of its architectural limit, 1500 or 1700mhz will not make a different, as for the GPU if you are are rooted we have unlocked it long ago
yesterday we OC test GPU OC beyond 520mhz and got no benefits, the chip is already bottle-necked by it's bandwith
HTC is following two line, Tegra and Snapdragon
it terms of Tegra the next flagship will be the Tegra 4
Still feels like a flagship phone to me, i still have a great sense of satisfaction when i hold/use the phone and the smoothness of JB and the quality of the screen even after owning it for 6 months! Also how everything has come along with the UI since original release. This is still the flagship!!!!

I have to disagree hamdir...
GPS Yes, with A-GPS support and GLONASS . There is a new chip in town.
Its a huge refresh for me, (emphasis on me) who is using the phone as his primary navigation device. (daily about 1 hour) Sometimes more on long runs/drives.
GLONASS on it could do me wonders.
GPS is good but could be better I already owned a hybrid GPS and GLONASS device and it was better.
Having the money I would do the switch . Again emphasis on the I.

and did you not know it missed GLONASS and AGPS when you bought it?
hence it's a tiny refresh, the basic design, software and main features did not change, only improved slightly, not is denying its improved but it certainly does not replace
for many people its not even worth the extra cost (if they are buying the One X right now)
@ Hamdir;The J Butterfly might get a Verizon release in the US.
I still consider the HOX a flagship handset (For android anyway, not thinking about the new Windows handsets here), the One X+ has such minute 'upgrades' that it's laughable, it's only been tweaked a little bit and as Hmadir said the J Butterfly is atm a Japan only release until Verizon possibly get it for the US.

we will know if it comes on the 29th as a Google Nexus and even if it did, it doesn't replace HTC's flagship
There is internal discussion at HTC about the so many phone release its true, seems like they are split in two camps, but all i'm saying the current One X was not suddenly rendered "outdated" it still has the qualities of the flagship and still getting both firmware and app support as we go, its not HTC's fault if you can't resist the urge of having the "latest and greatest"
If they suddenly released the One 2X, with SLCD3 Tegra4 and 13MB camera after 6 months of outing the One X, than yes i would be seriously pissed
HTC's flagship should have the best of all technology and new features, a new HTC sense, new Android, new design, a global release, a new SOC, a new screen to be considered a flaghsip, im pretty sure the J falls into this category (except Sense) but so far it doesn't seem HTC is willing to go global with it, if they do they will have to throw their entire stock of the just announced One X+
5 months I would say for the UK- what a joke.
Then HTC wonder why people think (and they think) they have no strategy except to react to the shinier phones.
To be honest it seems in Android land, 6 months is about the max any device remains 'flagship'.... Given mobile phone contracts are ever increasing in length (duration) to subsidise handsets, it's a bit of a gip when your new killer phone is usurped after such a short time.
Does it make your purchase any less affective, not really... But it is certainly a total buzz kill.
iOS users get 12 months.
Windows mobile users (excluding those who purchased the Nokia Lumia 900 in the US as Nokia came late to the windows phone 7 party) generally get 18 months.
BB users get at least 12 months (often 18) too.
So yeah, 6 months as King of the Hill isn't great (especially from the same manufacturer), and actually it's less than that if you factor in other manufacturers of Android devices who out pace each other incrementally.

This is true, if it was part of the Nexus range it won't impact upon HTC's flagship line

I remember seeing a Press Release from HTC saying that in 2011 they diluted the market with too many handsets and that in 2012 they were only going to release a few, their 'latest & greatest'... so much for that plan!

ofc I did know that.. You didn't??? Its not my first phone, and not my first android, or htc phone... I am a consumer that reads before he buys..Not by "Oh look its so cute, lets buy it".. Do not insult my intelligence.
I just wrote you I am using the navigation a lot, like 40 percent of the phone usage goes for that...
and I said for "me"
Btw I didn't say its a replacement or will kick out the One X from the throne. I just say, its not an tiny refresh . At least not for every consumer. You have to give me that.

Yes if they released an outdated device and called it a flagship you could be pissed.
This is what SONY was doing and maybe still is . Remember the first Xperia (I do ) overpriced piece of garbage, when phones had standard multitouch (hero, desire, nexus one and etc) this device more expensive then all, was and still is missing it.(software emulation my ass)
But then again, when you bought it, you could know it. (And there was other parts in SW that sucks bla bla to the OT)
fair enough about the tiny part, but we are discussing what is an HTC flagship to begin with
the One X, X+ and J are all flagships, ie: the upper end of the spec list of HTC's products, not to mention the most widely praised and respected by the media and gets their most attention
judging from my time in elevate, it does seem the situation is confusing, HTC itself do not have clear boundaries and everyone is asking them to define them
more over it seems their choice of SOC is also not a deep rooted decision, if i had to throw a wild guess, HTC only chose Tegra 3 because Qualcomm did not have a quad core ready and they had to counter the upcoming Quad SGS3
In fact the One X Tegra 3 seems much more important to Nvidia (they use its picture in every Tegra 3 occasion), than Tegra 3 is important to HTC (which for them its just another quad SOC)
They also wanted to open up to other SOC vendors just like Samsung does by releasing the same device on three different SOCs, which at the time seemed to give great commercial margins to Samsung
Everything the One X was, seemed a bid to counter Samsung, when in fact it had nothing to do with the values of samsung, in reality its more of an iPhone counter in terms of priorites (fancy build quality, refined UI and amazing screen)

It's understandable that HTC wanted to strike while the iron was hot, the HTC Sensation was a brilliant phone but was trounced by the Galaxy S2 in sales figures and reviews.
They didn't want the same thing to happen again with their new One range so they rushed it a little bit and put it out there imho. But nether the less, the Samsung Galaxy fanboys made sure that the S3 beat the HOX is sales figures and reviews when I don't believe it deserves to.

I would forbid AMOLED ... seriously nothing that has the current generations of AMOLED or its monstrosity called Pentile Matrix cant be called a flagship, in no company... I mean to buy on such higher rate degrading display or the non existing quality. Am still laughing at ppl telling me that they also have 320PPI....
if htc sticks to IPS, or SLCD or the second gens etc, no way I would switch again back to Samsung ...
Btw I would go for the Evo 3D in the time of SGS2 ... That phone was cheap , fast, great display, heavy and big ... more like a weapon, but higher res and 1GB more as the Sensation.
As its now I think I am set for 1 or maybe even 2 years without requiring a new device. Which I couldnt say with the previous generations phones I had. Even though they were Flagships as well. Lets say SGS.

yes its good u brought up the Sensation, the S2 was better than it to be honest except the build material, keeping in mind the SGS2 had true 1:1 pixel density, something i can't say about the SGS3 its in no way no how better than the One X
but the Sensation was supposed to be the flagship right?
For me one trip to the store was enough to tell me its not worth upgrading my Desire HD, the screen was actually worse it had a very bad refresh rate and ghosting, the initial sense 3.0 stayed insanely and horribly sluggish for over 8 months, build and design very similar and the camera almost the same, it was only the SOC which was much better but badly supported in the initial firmware
The Sensation did not shine until the ICS update was pushed, in fact the performance nearly doubled with the ICS update and then you could see what the Senation was all about
And like Pagot said, they polarized their fans with the dual Evo3d/Sensation release, but for me the Evo3d is the better deal, the best ever build device by HTC i'm still preplexed until today at how much it have costed them to build the thing, it was "shimmering" with fancy higher grade perfectly cut material in every corner, and the screen in 2D mode was massively better than the Sensation with 60hz refresh rate, when the Evo3d was being cleared out of stock pre the One X release, it literally sold like hot cakes in Lebanon, the main vendors couldn't keep up with the demand
and just as the Sensation example, Sensation XE did not replace it as a flagship, both were the flagship just the XE was the newer repackage
HTC will stick to IPS they have never been fans of Samsung or Amoled, especially after all the praise they got for the One X display, remember how they dropped Amoled by re-releasing the Desire with SLCD (i actually switch my phone to the SLCD version)
Not this crap again! Yes, stand still HTC. Don't refresh your devices and let the competition surpass you with superior specced products!
And then no doubt the masses will complain that HTC aren't innovating and their product lineup is stale! FFS!

Same goes for the Sensation XL, that was step down if ever there was one! Infact, all HTC adverts for a while and advertising in general toted the XL, so I'd say for a very brief few months the XL was their 'flagship' handset.

I liked the Desire screen, it was bright and fresh, something to show to the iMoans squadron. I loved me Desire!
I guess it's what you upgraded to the Sensation from... if it was a Desire HD then it was a bit of a jump back until ICS FOTA, but as I came to Sensation from my old Desire, that was a big step up. Takes all kinds I guess...
Yes the ICS update really took the Sensation into a world of it's own! Never really got to play around with the Evo3D, I think the Sensation was released slightly ahead of it here in the UK, so I'd already nabbed my Sensation before the Evo3D was released. The screen had to have a 60hz refresh rate I'm assuming as it'd be halved when the 3D effect was on? So anything less than 30/25hz refresh rate would've made the thing look really choppy!

yes ofcourse the Evo had to have 60hz for 3D but there was no excuse for less on the Sensation both the Desire HD and Desire had better screens in terms of refresh, in fact the Desire SLCD had the best screen in terms of all, view angles and black levels included
I only bought the Sensation much later for my wife for a very good price but she still wanted it replaced with the Sensation XL (and now she complains why temple run lags )
