The new HTC Sensation was announced a while back, and it is now available in the UK as of today from mobile operator Vodafone. It is available with a new 24-month contract from free, when you sign up for one of their £35 a month contracts. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their smartphone without a hefty upfront cost.
Display and Performance
The HTC Sensation features a 4.3-inch qHD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing sharp and vibrant visuals that are perfect for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which adds an extra layer of durability against scratches and minor impacts.
Processing is provided by a dual-core Qualcomm MSM 8260 1.2GHz processor, ensuring smooth performance and quick multitasking capabilities. This is complemented by 768MB of RAM, which helps in running multiple applications simultaneously without any noticeable lag. Additionally, the device comes with 1GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot, supporting cards up to 32GB. This allows users to store a significant amount of media, apps, and other data.
Camera and Connectivity
Other specifications on the HTC Sensation include an 8-megapixel camera on the back with a dual LED flash and autofocus. This camera setup is capable of capturing high-quality photos and 1080p HD videos, making it a great choice for photography enthusiasts. The dual LED flash ensures that photos taken in low-light conditions are well-lit and clear. On the front, there is a VGA camera, which is suitable for video calls and basic selfies.
In terms of connectivity, the HTC Sensation is well-equipped. It features a microSD card slot, HSPA/WCDMA connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0, and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.
