Just a few years ago HTC was an unknown brand but now it is the manufacturer of some of the most popular smartphones around.
The HTC sensation is the latest phone to be launched by the firm and sports high-tech features alongside and updated version of the companies Sense user interface.
At first look the Sensation looks a lot like the HTC Desire S thanks to its rounded aluminium casing. It is a little bit larger than its rivals and at 11.3 mm thick it is thicker than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S2. However, despite this it is still comfortable to hold.
The screen is a qHD (540×960) resolution so while it doesn’t quite have the sharpness of the iPhone 4′s 640×960 pixels it is much sharper than many of its rivals meaning that the display is bright and text clear even when you zoom in. However, it does share the problems of other HTC phones in that in bright sunlight screen visibility can be an issue.
The Sensation features the latest Google OS the Android 2.3.3 and also has an updated Sense interface as well as a 1.2GHz, dual-core processor.
One thing that is new for HTC fans is the new 3D scrolling – so if you scroll through the home screens you will see them rotating on a virtual cylinder rather than going from left to right in a linear fashion. Even the widgets expand inwards and outwards showing off just what the dual processor can do.
The touchscreen is also very responsive as it responds easily to the touch that makes it very easy to use.
The lock screen has also been overhauled instead of dragging a bar upwards to open the phone there is a ring instead. However, this system doesn’t always work so it can sometimes take several attempts to get into the phone.
It also pack an 8mp camera with dual-LED flash and autofocus which apart from a Xenon flash has everything you would want from a camera phone.
Overall, the Sensation is a good phone full of high specs however, there are lighter and thinner phones.
