Everyone is well aware of the fact that HTC has produced the new HTC Sensation as a reaction to the Samsung’s strategy. The company was targeting the marketplace segment for the “tinny Smartphone”.
It is a well-known fact that HTC has developed the HTC Sensation as a response to Samsung’s strategy,
which was aiming the market segment for the “tiniest Smartphone”. Therefore, the HTC Sensation is a splendid device that shows its small body, which measures only 125.9 x 65.2 x 11.1mm and weights 147g. Its case combines soft plastic inserts with aluminum parts, creating a truly stylish and pocketable Smartphone.
However, it is good to know that the shape of this phone actually disguises the real size of the HTC Sensation, delivering a phone that seems much thinner and smaller. Up front, the device accommodates the LCD display of 4.3 inches that comes along with a 960 x 540 pixels resolution. The display is covered with Gorilla Glass, which ensures a great durability. Moreover, while the screen resolution makes everything readable, its good brightness and contrast deliver graphics of a very good quality.
Being powered by the Snapdragon MSM 8 processor that comes with a dual-core chipset of 1.2GHz, the HTC Sensation offers some really great asynchronous cores, which allows the device to run at different voltages and frequencies at the same time. As well, the granular method of running applications reduces the power consumption, thing that has a great impact on battery lifespan. The users must also know that this great processor comes along with Adreno 220, ensuring a very powerful device.
In addition, the HTC Sensation ensures 768MB, which we have to admit that is not an impressive value anymore. However, its 16GB of memory and 8GB microSD card deliver enough storage space for any average utilities. Coming down to connectivity, the HTC Sensation provides the common functions of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, including as well WCDMA/2100HSPA/AWS/900 support.
The phone also provides different functions, such as Gyro-scope, GPS, G-sensor, Proximity sensor, ambient light, and digital compass. Besides these, the users can enjoy the utilities of two 8MP cameras, which come along with dual-LED flash and autofocus. The HTC Sensation has the Android 2.3.3 operating system, which includes the latest HTC Sense, version 3.0. This version delivers Active Lockscreen, different 3D effects, various homescreens and many other features.
The users are able to get the best out of the drop-down menu, which allows them to find different settings much easier. Among other things, this menu provides access to HTCSense support, which comes along with remote phone access, tracking and sync. There also are pre-installed applications, such as Facebook, Media and Weather shortcuts, mapping system, Teeter games, HTC Watch and more.
Many potential users may consider the missing video-calling function an important drawback. However, instead of this application, the users are able to benefit from the Qik Video Connect, although it sends the image, which is provided by the front camera, upside down. Hopefully, there will be an update which is going to solve this minor issue.
In conclusion, we can definitely say that even though the HTC Sensation is not one of the top devices on today’s market, it still delivers some great features which perfectly pair its price tag. Overall, it is a good device that can easily satisfy the requirements of any mid-class consumer.
