The HTC Sensation (originally rumored as HTC Pyramid) is a multimedia superphone that shines a spotlight on entertainment with HTC’s new HTC Watch video service. Crafted with premium design elements, the HTC Sensation features the company’s latest HTC Sense experience that puts people at the center by making their smartphones work in a more simple and natural way.
Tapping into HTC’s trademark design language, the HTC Sensation’s premium look and feel is enhanced by its rounded edges, aluminum unibody construction and the touch screen surface is protected by a contoured screen that feels more natural as a finger is glided across it. The 4.3-inch qHD display delivers high-resolution widescreen viewing (540 X 960 resolution) and gives the HTC Sensation slender proportions that feel natural in a person’s hand. At the heart of the HTC Sensation beats a powerful, 1.2-gigahertz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which enables gorgeous graphics and all-around fast performance.
HTC Sense
Complementing the HTC Sensation’s premium design is the latest HTC Sense experience that boasts a host of new features and enhancements, helping people to have more fun and get more done. For instance, HTC Sense introduces a customizable active lockscreen experience that transforms the lockscreen into a real-time window to the most important information and content, such as social updates, photos, weather or stock updates that are viewed by simply turning on the display. In addition, the new active lockscreen becomes a customizable gateway that lets people quickly jump to the most used features, like making a phone call, sending an email, taking a picture or anything else with the same quick gesture usually used to unlock the phone. For instance, the camera can be launched right from the lock screen with a single motion, saving precious seconds when you’re trying to capture the action. Sharper graphics, vibrant animations and new widgets make HTC Sense look better than ever and, by continuing to focus on all of the aspects, both large and small, that make HTC Sense special, HTC introduces a more cinematic and immersive weather experience with stunning imagery and audible weather effects.
HTC Sense also makes it easy to have fun by enabling people to capture and share special moments. The HTC Sensation’s 8-megapixel auto focus camera with dual LED flash doesn’t just shoot gorgeous photos but, with the new instant capture feature, lets people capture the moments they want without worrying about missing or keeping up with the action. The HTC Sensation also shoots full HD video in 1080p resolution, with full stereo sound, at up to 30 frames a second, giving you smooth video that is better than many other phones. With the new Video Trimmer tool, people can crop their clips to the perfect size for easy sharing with friends and family. You can also share movies and photos to your big screen TV wirelessly via DLNA.
HTC Watch
The HTC Sensation is a smartphone that is built from the ground up for a sophisticated, evolved multimedia experience. The 4.3” widescreen display means that users can watch movies like they were meant to be seen – in their full cinematic glory, with no cropping or letterboxing. The HTC Sensation is also the first smartphone to feature HTC Watch – an application and service that puts an entire library of the latest, premium movies and TV shows right at your fingertips, letting people discover the latest video content in an easy and visually engaging way. HTC Watch uses progressive download technology that makes it possible to watch videos without waiting for a huge file to finish downloading. HTC Watch offers the choice of renting or buying videos, and if purchased, lets you watch them on up to five different HTC devices.

Nice Phone 12/7/11 Review by Steve
Performance Design Features Value The phone is a nice size and works much faster than my Blackberry.
Navigation is sraightforward and there are many options to customise the phone. Battery life is consistent with the reviews. A new fully charged phone sitting on my desk doing nothing will last about one day.
The screen has a slight curve in it making it difficult for a normal screen protectors to sit flat and operate correctly. (Posted on 21/07/11) -
Great phone, few small issues Review by E
Performance Design Features Value There is definitely a 'death grip' issue with wifi, I find it only happens in landscape mode when my hand is covering the top of the phone. I haven't actually found it to be a problem yet. I had an issue with the google search bar app that came with the phone going a bit glitchy on the screen, I just removed it.
Other than this its a really great phone! Definitely don't regret buying it. I have played with the Galaxy sii and I definitely like this better, its better made and feels nicer in your hand. (Posted on 20/07/11) -
Perfect Review by Shmoo84
Performance Design Features Value What can I say? The phone is perfect. It runs smoothly, looks beautiful and just works really well. I have used both the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the HTC Sensation, and both are very good phones, however, it comes down to preference and the HTC Sensation far outweighed the Samsung purely based on user friendliness and personal preference. This is definitely a very good phone. (Posted on 17/07/11)

Love it Review by jbray
Design Features Value Performance Coming from iPhone and Nokias in the past, was deciding between SGS2 and the Sensation, picked the sensation on price and features. Higher res, promised unlocking and quality build. The screen looks fantastic. Love Android on this phone, and HTC's Sense overlay with special widgets and apps. Very happy! (Posted on 12/07/11)
