HTC Sensation Black 4G T-Mobile, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Reconditioned to Factory Refurbished standard, this black HTC Sensation 4G is the T-Mobile US model with the SIM slot GSM unlocked. Prop houses and collectors who want a working Gingerbread-era HTC without a sealed-box premium take this grade, and export dealers add it to mixed 3G lots for markets where UMTS still runs.
The HTC Sensation, sold by T-Mobile US as the Sensation 4G in 2011, is a Gingerbread-era flagship: a 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD, a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3, 768 MB of RAM, an 8 MP camera with dual LED flash and 1080p video, a front camera, and HTC Sense 3.0 in a contoured aluminum unibody. It ran on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, which the carrier branded 4G.
TG Wireless offers the Sensation to collectors and prop buyers who want a representative 2011 Android flagship, to exporters with 3G GSM markets, and to repair benches that need complete donors for displays and housings.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Sensation is a 2G/3G GSM phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US voice or data service today. Realistic uses are export to markets with live UMTS service, collectors, film and TV props, and parts units; Wi-Fi and offline apps still work. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Collectors and prop buyers who want a 2011 HTC flagship in the aluminum unibody.
- Exporters with 3G GSM markets that still take Android 2.3 handsets at an entry price.
- Repair shops that need complete Sensation donors for Super LCD panels and housings.
