HTC Sensation 4G (Unlocked Quadband) GSM Cell Phone

 

The large form factor handset has a 4.3-inch qHD (960x540) Super LCD display fronted with Corning's gorilla glass. It is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.2GHz and has 768MB of RAM. Its 8MP rear camera touts LED flash, autofocus, and support for capturing video at 1080p. It also has a front-facing VGA camera for video chat. The spec sheet claims that the phone can is capable of delivering 14.4Mbps download speeds on HSPA+ networks. The Sensation will come with HTC's heavily-customized version of Android 2.3. The new version of Sense appears to bring some impressive enhancements, including a configurable lock-screen that can display widgets. The software will also bundle in HTC Watch, a new streaming service that allows consumers to pull down movies and television shows for viewing on the handset. In most ways, the Sensation seems like a premium slab of Android. We are a bit puzzled, however, by HTC's decision to offer 768MB of RAM instead of the increasingly-standard 1GB that is found in most current high-end Android phones. Bumping it up to 1GB would surely have offered a better multitasking experience. HTC also skimped on internal storage, which is rated at 4GB total with only 1GB of "user-addressable" space.
