what's up price five fans i'm brian Tong and this is a matchup between 24 inch 4g touch screen phones on t-mobile it's a prize 5 foot out between t-mobile g2x and HTC Sensation 4G our judges for this fight our senior editor Bonnie boom shakalaka cha senior editor Nicole it's so coldly and myself ring a ling a ding tone now we'll take all three judges blind scores and average them out to the nearest tenth each round the final prize fights for be an average of all rounds using the same decimal system it's five rounds to the finish to let's get it on round one is design t-mobile g2x has a solid design with a matte finish on the back it's camera lens puts a little bump in its trunk but this is a classy phone with a vibrant 4-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen display HTC Sensation 4G ups the ante with a 4.3 inch qhd display that's even crisper with a 960 x 540 resolution but not as bright now we all liked it's contoured body but it's sweeping three tone pattern on the back reminds we have a girl skirt but it doesn't hurt it here the sensation 4g takes the first round with the 4.7 and the g2x gets a solid for next round is controls and user interface this round isn't easy when the tmobile g2x brings a pure stock Android experience there's no bells and whistles and it makes for a clean design you'll still get widget customization and if you want more good news it feels a tad bit snappier to use now HTC Sensation 4G brings the next generation of its user interface with an even sexier design yep i just called an OS sexy now there are seven home screens and flash your animations across the board the sense UI has always been a favorite of ours and it just gets the EDS with a perfect five and the g2x gets a 4.7 so after averaging two rounds the sensation 4g leaves by half a point with plenty of fight left next round is features both of these phones are pretty evenly matched with dual-core processors 8 megapixel cameras androids turn-by-turn maps and voice of text and HSPA+ compatibility Wi-Fi and Bluetooth now you'll find everybody's favorite swype keyboard technology on the g2x it also comes pre-loaded with eight gigs of internal storage space and an additional microSD card slot to add more storage the main difference here is that it's currently running only android 2.2 with a gingerbread update coming soon now HTC Sensation 4G is preloaded with Gingerbread and you'll get some of the cool benefits like a much better cut copy and paste an application task killer or launching apps directly from the lock screen it comes with its own flavor of swype called trace but it tends to be a little less accurate at times the sensation also gives you access to only one gig of internal storage space and the microSD card slot is occupied with an eight gig card which limits some of your flexibility out of the box we're calling this round even at four next up is web browsing and multimedia web browsing is a push and a pretty similar experience on both phones the sensation was a tad faster at pinching and zooming but in many cases the g2x was a beat faster when loading pages the g2x features an eight megapixel camera with a single flash and a micro-hdmi port for video out while the sensation brings an 8 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash both cameras record and playback 1080p video sources but we had mixed opinions with the image quality of their pictures the sensation 4g also brings the watch app that allows users to rent or buy movies directly from their phones but in the end the sensation 4g gets a 4.7 and the g2x gets a 4.3 so after averaging four rounds HTC leads by just three-tenths of a point the final round of the sides at all is all a performance t-mobile's g2x was excellent with its clear and crisp sound quality with little to no distortion or static in the background it was also the snappier performing foam between the two with its dual core tegra two processors and menus that jump instantly from one to another now the sensation 4g sounded excellent as well the speakerphone wasn't as strong but regular voice calls we're pretty clear Qualcomm's new dual core processor kept things running smoothly but maybe the sense you eyes animations were a little too taxing but this phone was still a tiny step behind and you can feel it the g2x gets a perfect five and HTC gets a four let's average out all the scores and in a prize fight where HTC Sensation 4G took an early lead t-mobile g2x storm back but it just wasn't enough and the sensation takes this battle 4.5 to 4.4 and is your prize by it winter t-mobile brings too heavy hitting contenders that you can't go wrong with but the final decision as usual is up to you i'm brian song thanks for watching it will catch you guys next time on another prize by you
