The qHD
Super TFT display — close to the best out there
Sense UI is extremely user friendly for first-timers
Instant-capture camera function
Excellent video quality
Fairly snappy 1.2GHz dual-core CPU
First off
This isn't the HTC Sensation review — that's coming in a few days once I've spent some more quality time with the device. For now I'm giving you my initial thoughts on what is to become HTC's flagship device. Just like all phones it has its pro
Overall the HTC Sensation is certainly a very impressive piece of kit. From the design through the display
Hardware and software
HTC has created a topoftheline superphone that looks set to compete with and even outclass the other dual core phones heading our way like the Samsung Galaxy S II
The LG Optimus 2X and the Motorola Atrix.

Not the greatest design
Feels heavy
“death-grip” does kill Wi-Fi in some normal use
HTC have their own channel in the Market which removes the “your apps” icon
We've always known Sense UI to be a more complete user interface (UI) in comparison to any other custom Android UI currently available. You've got tonnes of cool widgets that all look nice and do a great job at what they're meant to do (show weather

Of course
The big question remains
With all these phones
Do we need all that power? We're still erring on the side of saying no we'd rather have longer battery life
Better quality cameras
Shutter buttons for said cameras
Improved call quality
Etc. But
Maybe we'll change out minds once some new and amazing apps and games start to take full advantage of all that power we can't wait for that

Poor battery life
No HDMI port on the handset
Some software instability

Abstract: Since the iPhone 4S has just been announced by Apple, we thought we'd put it head to head against some of the leading Android devices currently available and the rumoured specs of the Nexus Prime. All of them are dual-core, all of them are sparkly, but so...

A solid phone that's missing a beat on performance, but features impressive usability. While not quite a world beater, HTC's first dual-core smartphone has a lot to offer...
The Sensation wraps an impressive selection of features into a beautifully-designed (albeit derivative) body. While it lags behind the performance of other dual-core smartphones we've tested, it manages to redeem itself with its stylish design, large hig...

Abstract: The phone is a solid block of a unit. It weighs in at 148 grams, putting it into the heavyweight category compared to Samsung's rather svelte Galaxy SII .It's also a bit thicker, hitting the 11-millimetre mark at the apex of its gently curved back. The so...

The HTC Sensation is a good phone with loads of features, but we did expect a little more grunt from the dual-core processor and it could definitely use a bigger battery.

I enjoyed using the Sensation, not as much as I thought I would though. I see the Sensation as a real competitor against the Galaxy S II but in the same way they’re both very different, but that’s the great thing about Android, you get all this choic...
