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

HTC calls the Sensation a ‘multimedia superphone’ and given its razor-sharp screen, generally decent video playback (excepting Adobe Flash) and great audio, we can see why. If you can handle its sheer size, this is both an excellent phone and a superi...
qHD resolution is a winnerBest ergonomics for a 4.3-inch phone yetButtery smooth 1080p video recording

The HTC Sensation is an extremely accomplished device, but there's no getting around the feeling that it underwhelms. While it is indeed a dual-core speed demon like the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC's latest doesn't exhibit quite the same level of UI responsi...
It’s a good time for Android smartphone fans. The Galaxy S II has already proved that devices running Google’s OS are certainly capable of stepping out from underneath the shadow of the iPhone, and the HTC Sensation is evidence that Samsung’s win can’...
Abstract: For the past several months, the Samsung Galaxy S II has held the performance crown of the smartphone world, reportedly beating the performance benchmarks of every phone in the world. HTC has had an answer for a few months, but has kept quite shy about it...
While it's always difficult to say confidently which is the better device, we will have to say our heart skipped a beat when we read about the HTC Pyramid for the first time. The rumors are almost too good to be true, but, with HTC unable to produce a t...
Abstract: So a few days back we upgraded our HTC Sensation to the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update . Pretty much after taking it for a quick tour, the Sensation hit the drawer whilst I finished our Samsung Galaxy Note review ( see the unboxing here ).Ea...

HTC's first crack at a dual-core processor handset is a resounding success. Review The HTC Sensation is the George Foreman to Samsung's Muhammad Ali of handsets, the Galaxy S2. It's not quite as flash, a solid fighter rather than a showboater. But it's s...
The HTC Sensation is an extremely accomplished device offering high end specifications and a solid build quality thanks to the aluminium backplate. In terms of design its shape make it a pleasure to hold and to operate and combining these excellent er...
H TC is bringing a fun addition to its Android smartphone portfolio with the HTC Sensation. The HTC Sense interface over the Android operating system makes it a typical HTC smartphone. The only thing I do not like is the scrolling through the menu, ...
