HTC Sensation 4G Specs
Description
HTC Sensation comes with a fresh serving of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but it's all about the HTC Sense UI version 3.0 with a touch of refinement and functionality straight from the lock screen. You can choose between a number of lock screen options such as weather updates, quick access to apps and a handful of clock widgets. A 1.2GHz Qualcomm dual-core chipset supports the nice 3D-like transitions in the menu, all carrying resemblance to the ones on the HTC Flyer tablet. The phone is the first with a contoured glass 4.3-inch display meaning that your Super LCD screen is set back slightly to avoid scratches. The resolution is qHD (540x960) with an aspect ratio of 16:9. On the back you have an 8MP camera with dual-LED flash with “instant capture,” meaning little to no lag between pictures. The camera is also capable of recording video at 30fps in full HD (1080p) resolution.
This device is also known as HTC Pyramid, HTC Sensation

I bought this phone when I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. It has been great. It was my first Android phone (came from a blackberry) and I was completely blown away at how great the phone was. It is very well built and has held up to a lot of the abuse I have put it through.
It's not the perfect phone; it does have its' faults. It can be difficult to hear people while making phone calls. The speaker is a little weak in my opinion but you can turn on hearing aid setting which boosts the speaker volume to a more audible setting. The battery tends to drain quickly too. I usually find myself charging my phone once or twice a day (with heavy use). But I always have my charger with me or a car charger so this wasn't a big issue to me, but it could be for you if you are someone who doesn't have access to an outlet or some sort of charging station.
The Screen and Display on the Sensation are great! The phones produces really nice colors and it is nice and bright... when you are indoors. If you wander outside, the screen can be seen but it is very washed out.
I dont watch a lot of movies or stream video from my phone, but i listen to a lot of music and the music player on this phone is amazing! The EQ is fantastic and when used with a good pair of headphones really makes your music come alive and sound great.
One of my favorite features, and the biggest reason that i got it was for the phones camera. It's an 8mp continuos autofocus camera that takes (i think) GREAT pictures. Everyone in my family is amazed at just how great pictures can come out. Sometimes you have to tweak with the settings a little to get the best shot but its worth it in the end.
Overall, I would recommend this phone to my friends, family, and coworkers. Issues like short battery life can be solved by buying extended batteries like the Anker 1900mAh battery or something bigger. If you are thinking of getting this phone, DO IT! You'll be satisfied with your purchase.

I like this phone so much. It is just beyond beautiful inside out. Just have it almost 3 months and no problem to date. The built in browser with flash support is smooth as a sheet of ice. I am a heavy user so I have a lot of HD games installed and played with no lags or problem at all. Now I have over 180 apps and Games installed. Highly recommended if you think One X is too dear.
- No lags or glitch.
- Crystal clear display.
- Blazing fast on latest ICS 4.0.3 firmware.
- Buttery smooth animation.
- 8MP ful HD camera.
- Very fast processor.
- Lots of RAM.
- Very high qHD display resolution.
- No cons at all!
