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

Poor battery life
No HDMI port on the handset

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 superio...
Heavy; widgets sometimes fail to update automatically; speedy, rather than smooth, user interface

Refreshed version of HTC Sense, Great screen, with inset glass, Blisteringly fast
Screen isn't as good as others, Battery life is terrible, Cost of HDMI adaptor
In many ways the HTC Sensation is outstanding. The metal build is exactly what we expect from a smartphone of this calibre. Performance is exceptionally good, loading programs quickly, ensuring the phone never feels slow. HTC Sense is great too; sure ther...
