HTC Sensation user reviews

John R 20 September 2011

Good: Flexibility

Bad: 6 hours battery life.

Comment: This phone is fantastic in every way except one, the battery life. Over the years I've been a very big user of smart phones and this is definitely one of the best I've ever had. But like a desktop computer you need a power socket. With moderate use ( 5 - 10 minutes every few hours ) my battery charges and discharges at a very similar rate. T-Mobile have advised me that this is perfectly normal for a smart phone. I've placed it in for repair anyway. A phone should last 24 hours without needing to be recharged, in case you're wondering this is with options like, Wi-Fi, Blue tooth, and gps turned off speaking of GPS it's so accurate it's down to inches not feet, but trying to use it for satnav in a car only works with the screen brightness turned all the way down. Unfortunately the drain on the battery is so much while using the gps that even while on charge the battery level drops. I am really hoping that this is just an issue with the power management on this individual phone if not the phone is the best I've ever seen but impractical to use as a Mobile phone/ PDA tool.

Comment: Please dont buy HTC Sensation handsets. There are inbuilt issues. The phone supports GSM/WCDMA mode. When you set the phone to that mode, the handset does not work. The handset drop signals, unable to make calls, unable to make call conference. When contacting customer care, they are specific and say to use in GSM mode only. They actually have admitted that there is a problem. The same SIM works perfectly in other 3G ready handsets. Now that they have got the money, they can even say to throw the mobile in the dustbin.

Good: Everything

Bad: None Yet

Comment: A phone to boast about

Mobilefreak 29 August 2011

Good: That's irrelevant.

Bad: Poor radio.

Comment: This is not a phone, but a toy. Useless for serious business men. Radio part goes "no coverage" twice a day. While in a call, takes forever to pull up the contact list. Need two restarts a day. You need to continuously check the phone if it went into no coverage, and if not, the only way to get it only is to turn the radio on/off.

With other words, yet another box of fancy crap from HTC.

HTC! If stability is no issue. (With the exception of Desire (not desire 2)

I'm dreaming of a rock stable and smooth cotton, android smart phone. Yet to be made, sniff.

Good: nearlly everything

Bad: The touch screen is not fantastic but its ok . . . . . .

Good: customizable,fast,big screen,Sense!

Bad: unlock ring,battery,sound

Comment: It is really fast, very fun to customize, the sense, accurate touch screen, almost everything is good except the unlock ring was not responding at first but then it worked fine after some software update, the battery is so-so very common for this type of phone and the speaker is not as loud and clear as other phones. But I can say all in all Sensation is the best phone I ever had :D

Good: The big screen, very interactive, good graphics,

Bad: The battery, the phone call,

Comment: I thought of going for Samsung Galaxy II, but i ended up with HTC due to bad experience with Samsung model. Overall, here is my views.

+ the phone is comfortable, big and does not strain the eyes
+ the processor is fast making no-lag in smsing
+ good graphics
+ above average camera

- My cheek keeps hitting the 'end call' button on the screen, so I had to lock the screen first before putting the phone to my ears after pressing the call button.
- battery runs out pretty fast if your using the internet, GPS etc.
- When making a voice call, the receiver is nothing great. Sometimes i had to ask my friends to repeat a few times.

David Ferguson 5 August 2011

Good: Fast -good interface - well I like it ! - big screen easy to read and play games - clear calls

Bad: Battery life is always gonna be a problem on any SMART phone!

Comment: Don't find it too heavy, all the problems I have seen have not appeared so what can I say an upgrade from Desire and well worth the effort. Battery life is always gonna be a problem on any SMART phone so deal with it.
