HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S2

Gizmophobe Technology & Gaming - Sun, 18/12/2011 - 17:18

The HTC Sensation is the flagship product offered by HTC and its specifications match those of the Samsung Galaxy S2 and when you consider the excellent software that comes with HTC phones Samsung might just find they have some serious competition.

Recently, two phone to follow up the original Sensation have been launched, the Sensation XE, which has a more powerful processor and also the Sensation XL which has a larger screen and includes the Beats Audio program. Despite increased screen size the resolution on this new device is actually lower. The viewing angles remain excellent and the S-LCD means green is very bright and vibrant.

The question many consumers are asking themselves is where does the XL lie in this range of phones. The larger screen would suggest that it is a higher end product than the original sensation, but the lower resolution screen less powerful processor mean that many people are questioning whether this device is the premium one. The pricing of the device clearly suggests that it is a higher end product with a consumer having to spend £30 a month on a contract in order to get it free. The original sensation is available for free on a £20 a month contract.

The screen is the high point of the device and it comes to almost the edge of the device meaning that it is no larger than necessary. It is still a large phone but its design means that it feels good in the hand. The best thing about the screens of new mobile devices such as the iPhone 4 is that the screen seems as if it has been printed on the glass and this is something that this new Sensation is taking advantage of. Considering the size of the phone it is very light at only a touch over 160g.
