HTC Sensation

Can HTC's latest flagship take on the rest of the superphone brigade?

Large, high resolution screen, Super fast dual-core processor, Good camera with bright LEDs, Beautiful chassis design

Poor battery life, Screen quality could be better

HTC Sensation

Fast interface, plentiful features including DLNA and video rental service, sounds good

Video performance could be better, only 1GB internal memory as standard

Fast, feature-packed smartphone that sounds good but could look better

Awful battery life ; Still poor in direct light ; Video player erratic ; Power button slightly lost ; Camera needs to be faster

HTC Sensation review

A fine dual-core smartphone with a neat design, but it's just pipped by the slicker and cheaper Samsung Galaxy S II

HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) review

HTC and T-Mobile first introduced the HTC Sensation 4G back in April, and we were instantly enamored of the Android smartphone. Not only did HTC give the phone a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 4.3-inch qHD display, but it enhanced the user experience...

The HTC Sensation 4G boasts a sleek, high-quality design with a gorgeous 4.3-inch qHD display. The Android smartphone also features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 8-megapixel camera, and the HTC Sense user interface brings some thoughtful and useful...

The smartphone doesn't offer much internal memory, and the phone's speakers are pretty weak.

Its excellent design and user experience, coupled with its solid performance, make the HTC Sensation 4G one of the best Android phones yet and a top pick for T-Mobile customers.

HTC Sensation

The Sensation is the current flagship of HTC's range here in SA. Does it have what it takes to take on the other big guns?

HTC Sense 3.0, fast, nice screen, decent size

No backlight for onscreen soft buttons, some instances of screen unresponsiveness, loudspeaker could have been better, no Gorilla Glass

HTC Sensation vs. Samsung Galaxy S II

It's not really easy to compare two perfect smartphones – the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II. Both have fast and powerful dual-core processors, great cameras, almost similar prices and both look very good. Which one to choose?

Expert Review

In final summary, the HTC Sensation is well worthy of the flagship handset badge but it would have been better if the benchmark scores could also see off the competition a little more convincingly!
