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.

The editors didn't like
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

No HDMI port on the handset
Some software instability

Abstract: It all adds upBut it's an Android phone isn't it, so can it really be that much better than any other? Yes, because in almost all respects it's slightly better than the competition, and the accumulation of those little improvements adds up to something qu...
The 4.3-inch screen on the HTC Sensation is the smartphone's real party piece. With a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, it's incredibly sharp, with text and images looking very crisp. Websites also look great, with enough space onscreen to fit lots of text on.With a 1.2GHz processor, the HTC Sensation was never likely to be lacking in power, and so it proves. The processor is a dual-core chip, so y
Although the screen on the HTC sensation is impressive from a sharpness point of view, it can't match the very best from Samsung when it comes to colour reproduction. A phone with a 4.3-inch screen won't suit everybody, either, and it will prove too large for lots of users. The big screen also affects the HTC Sensation's battery life, and we frequently found ourselves recharging it in under a day
Well made, packed with features such as an 8-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual-core processing and more, there's a lot to like about the HTC Sensation. The huge screen sadly has an impact on battery life, which is our biggest issue with this han...
The HTC Sensation is a good, solid handset, and it sits well at the head of HTC's Android range. Dual-core smartphones are suddenly burgeoning, and for us Samsung has the best offering, by a whisker, with the Galaxy II S. But if you're a fan of HTC and...

Abstract: With the HTC Sensation, it’s perhaps easy to raise concerns that HTC is at risk of getting a reputation for releasing too many minor upgrades to their range, with so many handsets similar in both looks and features as the model released before it.It’s a p...
Another quality handset from HTC and this is the hero of the bunch, with a fast dual core processor, the latest Sense user interface goodies, Android 2.3 and, for once, the company manages to build a half-decent camera. ® More Android Smartphone Revie...
Great screen, better than average battery life, excellent user interface, good email support
Expensive, heavier and bulkier than the Samsung Galaxy S II
The HTC Sensation is a terrific phone. It's slick and powerful and HTC's Sense interface makes it a visual joy to use. It's a little light on business features, though, while the basics like Exchange support are covered...
The HTC Sensation looks great, feels great and performs extremely well, but despite its broadly comparable specification, it just isn’t in the same league as the spectacular Samsung Galaxy S II. So, while it’s a highly capable and desirable Android sma...
