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...

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.
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...

The screen isn't great in bright sunlight.
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...

Manufactures – and HTC in particular – have released so many Android smartphones over the past two years that picking the right one can be a nightmare. The HTC Sensation is the latest addition, offering a 4.3-inch screen, 1.2GHz processor and a host of...
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...
