HTC Sensation Review

The launching of HTC Sensation is an important event in the world of Android-based smartphones not because its Korean rivals in the market (Samsung & LG) showed their flagships before it, but also because of the fact that HTC Sensation is the most advanced smartphone based on Android in the planet. Yes the Taiwanese company has outdone its rivals. The processor speed, the amount of RAM, the screen resolution and the other features are the best you can get in the market at the moment.

The Sensation takes us a year back when the Android-based smartphone market was dominated by the HTC. They might be a bit late in announcing their product but I guess they can be excused for that.

Controls:

The HTC Sensation has the same sensor unit that the HTC uses in all its smartphones which really are comfortable as they are well-spaced and backlit. The power button is on the top edge of the phone near the 3.5 mm headphone plug and the volume controls are located on the left side of the device. The Sensation does not have any camera buttons, it is activated from the menu. The USB port is also located on the left edge of the phone. However the Sensation does not have any HDMI output and so if you need to connect your Sensation to you LCD, then you have to buy a special HDMI cable.

Screen:

The HTC Sensation flaunts a 4.3″ touchsreen that is very capacitive, a S-LCD that the company uses in all its new smartphones. It is also one of the few smartphones with a qHD resolution of 960×540 pixels making it a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Camera:

Mounted with 8-megapixel camera, the HTC Sensation has two LED flash. It supports videos in FullHD with upto 1920×1080 pixels.

Apart from all these, a Swype technology has been implemented in basic keyboard and there is a new Weather widget. Sensation is built on a Qualcomm MSM 8260 platform having 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. The device has 768 MB RAM and 1 GB of storage.
