Ang HTC Sensation opisyal na karon anaa sa Pilipinas uban sa Smart nga nag‑hatag sa handset nga libre sa Plan 3000 o mahimo nimo kini makuha sa opisyal nga mga retailer sa gisugyot nga presyo nga Php31,990 samtang ang Wildfire S nagkantidad og Php15,500.

That's Php1k lower than our previous report of a Php33k SRP three days ago (probably a reaction to people's feedback about the price; even the dealers did not know their own price as well until tonight).

HTC Sensation mga espesipikasyon:
4.3 pulgada @ 540 x 960 pixels
1.2 GHz dual-core processor
Adreno 220 GPU
Qualcomm MSM 8260 Snapdragon
Gorilla glass display
HTC Sense v3.0 UI
1 GB storage, 768 MB RAM
hangtod 32GB pinaagi sa microSD, 8GB apil
HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi hotspot
Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP
8MP autofocus camera, dual-LED flash
1080p @ 30fps video, stereo sound recording
GPS uban ang A-GPS support
Li-Ion 1520 mAh
Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)

Ang launch party sa Republiq murag fashion show (video moabot na!) nga adunay daghang mga personalidad sa showbiz nga nagtan-aw sa ilang bag-ong mga HTC handset (klarong libre). Mas gamay kini nga media launch mao nga wala kami nakahimo og Q&A (adunay usa nga nakatakda ugma sa sayong buntag busa murag dili nako kini matabunan).

Kini usab ang among unang higayon nga makakuha og usa ka unit ug hangtod karon nakit-an namo nga ang HTC Sense 3.0 UI mas hapsay, ang display mas nindot kaysa sa Desire HD, ug kaayo responsive sa kinatibuk-an. Dugang pa niini kung makuha na namo ang review unit. Ang porma (lakip ang gibag-on) pareho gihapon sa Desire HD ug mas duol sa HD7 sa aspeto sa disenyo sa lawas.

What is the official price of the HTC Sensation in the Philippines?

The HTC Sensation has a suggested retail price of Php31,990 from official retailers.

What are the key specifications of the HTC Sensation?

It features a 4.3-inch display, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 8MP camera with 1080p video, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

How does the HTC Sensation's display compare to the Desire HD?

The display is way better than the Desire HD, according to initial impressions.

Sensation NOW for sale! :D

ken · 15 years ago

i love htc. i bought htc desire hd last march and i am looking to upgrade to this sensation monster… but only if the price here in the philippines drop down to the 25k range. i have seen the srp of sensation in amazon @ 500 USD in some cases. i hope it happens here as well

Xallisto · 15 years ago

This. I don’t think the premium feel warrants it to be sold at 30ish. At least the GSII has the specs to back it up. Still, I prefer buying the sensation.

jeff · 15 years ago

where can i buy this??

tmcr · 15 years ago

wow sexy models!

Andy · 15 years ago

This was my “could have been” next phone. But after realizing that there were no new Android in the coming months (until Ice Cream Sandwich) wherein dual-core phones are for most gamers-on-the-go, the current single-core phones are still enough for the time being (currently using Desire with Gingerbread AOSP). And it would be more economical to wait for the release of the next Android OS (ICS).

raffy · 15 years ago

can i ask you something guys? could this phone beats up samsung GS2?

asdfgh · 15 years ago

HTC is proven great but SGS2 ako. Mas manipis, mas maganda ang screen (AMOLED kesa LCD)

Sgs2 > Htc sensation · 15 years ago

A big fat NO! Hardware wise, sgs2 bitch slaps this shit in everything maybe except built quality and if you like sense3, which i find crappy.

karl · 15 years ago

SGS2 is a bit better than SENSATION

technobaboy · 15 years ago

at least its cheaper than the initially reported 33k price

noy · 15 years ago

masaya pa din ako sa 3310 ko.lols

carlo mercado · 15 years ago

i was there!!! and i think yuga was the one asking the names of the models holding the HTC Sensation! hehe just kiddin, but it really was a great launch party(my first one too), too bad Sensation is a little bit overprice for my taste..

Jologs · 15 years ago

If ever I go back to Android I’d pass on HTC because of the following:

– probably not upgradable (officially) to the next os update. I still can remember the bull they fed people about the desire not having enough memory. pwe!

– deathgrip issue that affects wifi, and the cases / bumpers do not solve the problem. No thanks!

If I’d go back to Android, probably go for SE, since baliktad sila. They say they won’t update then biglang maguupdate. Hehehe. And form factor for SE is always a winner. Next choice would prolly be a Nexus phone (any manufacturer).

crazy suckers are those who buy phones like this. my 6000 peso android phone can do 95 percent of what this thing can do. and mine is dual sim. Suckers!

Junapos · 15 years ago

Not worth it. Screen is subpar against the superp Samsung Galaxy S2.

fboi · 15 years ago

blah… whats with htc? ip4 ftw!

bUgOy · 15 years ago

c*ck suckerrrrr hahahaha

Num Lock · 15 years ago

32t for a phone? No way. I can buy 1 good laptop and 1 good phone for that price.

xxxxx · 15 years ago

you could. but they’d probably suck hehe

mike · 15 years ago

phones like this are like jewelries that depreciates. they are bought only because they are expensive. the return diminishes up to 20k pesos. after 20k and you are already buying hype.

bUgOy · 15 years ago

Like Jewelries? What a dumb analogy… Jewelries appreciate all the time foo

caps lock · 15 years ago

they probably would suck if the buyer is as stupid as you. Hell, for P 32k, i could get myself a good laptop, a good phone and one night stand.

unlock · 15 years ago

Well it depends what your definition of “good” is. Care to give your supposed good laptop and good phone that has a total price of under 32k?

Jef · 15 years ago

So the price of the Sensation is actually more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S2? I got a quote from a supplier for 28,000 PHP for the Samsung Galaxy S2. Maybe this is the MSRP price, I hope it will go lower.
